Car Day by the Bay

It's British Car Day today, and we rode our bike down to the car show rather than drive a Lotus. And it's not even a British bike. Oh well.


We did have a nice time seeing a mixture of "Autumn is coming" alongside the sunshine and clear, sparkling water.


In fact, for San Diego novices, I must point out that this time of the year is when we have the most clear, sunny days. Our sunniest month is November. So if you want to be a happy tourist, come on down.


Apparently our sun-loving Canadian neighbors have gotten the word, and a couple ship-loads of Canucks stopped in while they were on a joint- maneuvers training voyage.



We saw a car we used to own (I'm embarassed to admit)  - the Triumph Herald.


And one I would like to have someday. The Ariel Atom.


On the way out of the show on the bike, we saw a McLaren coming in to check things out. It's the first one I've seen in San Diego.


But we only had time for a quick photo of it, then we were on our way again, uphill and into the wind, home for a cold drink (a blog) and a nap.
