I made it up to the New Hope Auto Show, two weeks ago. It's a two-day event with American cars on Day 1 and imported cars on Day 2. I made it to Day 2. I'm glad I made the trek (took me almost two hours to get there), though I was hoping for more cars. I just started uploading them to my Flickr page.

Some highlights:

Before I even entered, there were a few cars in the parking lot:

Like this Euro-spec Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV:

This early Triumph TR6:

And this Datsun 240Z:

Same day as the last post, this one I arrived late, so it seemed a lot of the cars left. The venue for this one is kind of cool, it is a brew pub next to a local airport, with older factory buildings, so it feels very steam-punk.
