We returned to our usual meeting venue after our run to "The Mayfly" last month, to the cut and thrust of a keenly fought competition, "The Car I Would Most Like". Members brought their pride and joy to be judged by an "expert". In true 1950's/60's style the contestants lined up. Being dumb, (No change there then) they couldn't answer those all important questions. "How old are you?". "What are your hobbies?". "How many languages do you speak?". "What are your ambitions?"."What's your telephone number?". Thus no judgment could be made on intelligence or lack of it. Personality wasn't exactly a strong point either. It was really down to the amount of "lip gloss" and whose "bits" stuck out the most. The competition was close. Judgement was finally delivered. "The Black Cat", David's, Nostalgia XK120 Replica was declared the winner. The prize, a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers. I suppose a crown and a golden throne flanked by the runners up was out of the question?
The winner a Nostalgia Jaguar XK120 Replica
Despite comments on the age of the winner, we have to say that beneath the "posh frock" beats the heart of a 1982 XJ6 "rust bucket"
The wine was delightful with Wednesday's supper and the flowers beautiful on the breakfast room table. Our thanks to everyone who took part, to Mike for oganising it and to the bar staff of Portal's S&SC for their fine and impeccable judgement, Thanks for a fun evening.
