Unbelieveable- TWO (2) Harringtons at one, non-Rootes show. The people
attending probably had no idea how rare Harringtons are.

Any Hillmans make it? Dayton is a bit too far for me, plus my son was getting
married on Saturday!

Last Saturday was a nice summer day to have a British Car show in
Dayton. We had breakfast together and the six alpines and six happy
drivers drove in formation to the show. We got a lot of smiles along the
way from other motorists which was neat. In the picture below, it looks
like the Alpines outnumbered the Tigers by 6 to 1. In reality, a couple
of Tiger owners arrived fashionably late (or just lazy out of the
sack?).

It's funny ... Last year, Jan and I took 3 Harringtons and we out
numbered the Alpines AND Tigers at the show. No one believed that they
are rare because there were so many. :-)
