Cornish Festival Cavalcade of Cars

[james&wayne]

Hi all,

Took the TA22 up to the Copper Triangle for the Cornish Festival Cavalcade of Cars a couple of weekends ago. It's nice and casual and cruisy, just a convoy from Wallaroo through Moonta and Moonta Bay to Kadina, and assemble on the oval, and check out the wide variety of automotive history.

At one stage a long traffic jam formed behind a ?1908 International Harvester motor buggy doing 25km/h!

Here we are in line at the start

Never heard of it before... looks like quite a big gathering!

That 28 looks pretty clean.
I hope you left a club card on the window?

Previous years have had over 500 cars (mainly), motorbikes and trucks, and this year was probably the same. There's all sorts, classic, vintage/veteran, hot rod, muscle, everyday grandpa daily drivers, even old caravans! Something for everyone! I'll post a few pics...umm forgot the cards...

...and to finish up, here's that International Harvester motor buggy: air cooled horizontally opposed twin under the floor and wheels nearly as tall as me
Note the plain-clothes security at the back wheel
