The Red Car Goes To The Show!

September 7, 2014:  The Red Car makes its debut on the show circuit at Chicago's annual British Union Car Show!

The weather was great and the show was very well-attended, with something like 500 British cars on site:


The Red Car, keeping good company with the Rolls Royces and the Bentleys:


And here's the competition...a long line of Austin Healeys:


It made us proud and happy to see how much attention our car got.  Lots of people were checking it out and taking pictures.  The awards were given on a "crowd favorite" vote and it looked like we got a few votes (besides our own)!  We didn't win, though.  We think that the ballot box may have been stuffed in favor of a very nice couple, fellow Austin Healey Club members who invited us all over for BBQ after the show.  Considering that, and that they do have a lovely Healey, they deserved it.
