Cars on the Roof - Kollonade Retail Park

Yesterday was a "Cars on the Roof" park and show. I think it was arranged by Pretoria old motor club, but not too sure of that statement.

Anywhere, there was, amongst others, a Datsun ZX280. When I was but a strapping young lad I had a Matchbox Car. A very yellow Datsun ZX280. My first remote control car was, you guessed it, a red Datsun ZX280. I absolutely love that car. Not sure why, but I love it to bits.

And then, of course, there was this little beauty;

C2 Corvette Stingray

In my humble opinion still the most beautiful car ever made. I must however confess that I prefer this model in the hard-top derivative and not so much the cabriolet. I will however not say no if offered one of these beauties.

There was also an array of Beetles from the South African chapter of the Aircooled Hooligans as well as a choice assortment of Yank Tanks and modded oldtimers.

I have to say the orange MK1 Cortina is a fine specimen indeed.
