I love english cars. Ok, so they have bad electrical systems and are prone to rust.
They are so much fun! Nifty cockpits, great lines, a blast to drive...
This is a MG-TC/D/F (not sure which one...). I'm not so much in to the older cars, but
this one was so nice I took some pictures.

This is a bit more to my taste. Having the badge show up in the mirror on these
pictures was a happy accident.
I like the lines of the MGA, and the Coupe version certainly adds a suitable dose of
funkiness.

Ok, I love this car. It's an early Austin Healey 100 (Hundred), with the fold down
windshield. Absolutely perfect. Not a sour line, and the windshield....
I'm drooling. There was a A-H 100 being raced as well, but I don't think
I took a picture.

The Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite, arguable the cutest car ever made. Certainly one of
the happiest.

This is probably an Austin Healey 3000, pretty color and nice interior...

I'm not normally a fan of putting a huge engine in a small car. it removes the
one real advantage that a smaller car has -- maneuverability. But this Triumph
GT... It's soooooo overblown, it's awesome. God knows what's under that hood,
but I would have to assume it's big and American. This is one of those cars
were if it pulled up next to you at a red light and the driver tries to get you to
race, it would not be recomended.

An Astin Martin DB5 (or DB4, they are very similar...). Wish I would have taken
more pictures of this car, but we were on our way back to the car at the time.
The Aston Martin is known as more brutish than British, it's a big engined heavy
car -- more similar to a Ferrari or an American car, not like it's British brethren.
Pretty cars, and very fast.
