Big (boys) Toys.
Another Combination of Two Challenges.
Hey, attention all you wonderful lady followers of mine, can I take this moment to apologise to you all. This post seems to be more favoured towards the tastes of men. However ladies if you do like this slideshow of mine then this will really make my day, make my week..
These pictures were taken at a Custom Car show in August this year, in the New Forest, England. This day was a very hot day, unusual for us English to be able to say this. But true it was, I even got a touch of sunburn during my wandering around the ground. There were many more than what I am showing, but did not want to over kill. So because of this I have only inserted seven very good examples of Big (boys) Toys..

Hey that was quick teecee, but a big thank you for your comment and visit, always welcome..;)
Once upon a time my husband would have loved this! Great photos!
I hope it can give a little joy,, thank you Jules for stopping by and commenting.. I can only enjoy looking, no good at the building..Welcome..;)
Love classic cars. This lady so not offended. Am partial to American brand muscle cars of the 60’s, Read; 1967 GTO ~
Or, a1955 classic chevy baby blue please…
Great post my friend~ I rather liked it.
You are so welcome my lady, you probably know more about them than I do. I just love their looks like yours ..welcome ;;)
Um.
1) I posted some pix of classic cars in Spain in my village back in March

2) I seem to spend my internet life fighting sexism and pointing out that I am not a lady. I am not Lady Roughseas. I have written a blog post mentioning it .. http://cloudsmovingin.wordpress.com/2012/04/19/journalism-2-give-us-a-clue/
3) I also have a Land Rover blog. One of my blog pals has just written about changing her brake/tail/stop light.
Seriously, I spend a lot of time trying to fight against stereotypical attitudes about what women like and what men like etc. And mostly, the people who comment on my LR blog are women.
Anyway, an interesting slideshow, although I didn’t know enough to identify each vehicle. I did find a Ford! But this non-car-interested woman would appreciate a bit more info next time 🙂 And great piccies, I even made my partner look at them too 😀
I am sorry about this, will provide details in future for you..I do have many others, glad I did not put more on,, heehaa!! I do agree with you abut the sexism side,, and on behalf of me this was just a lighthearted gesture and not seriously meant.as most of my followers are ladies..I had wondered if someone would say something,, and roughseas I was right.. Just in case you were serious it was not meant to offend, I am not sexist in any form,, if you are not a lady what may I know you to be..heehee, I dont think you are a sir..Always appreciated Roughseas,,,
We have a 39 Dodge hotrod that we show also… love those toys 😉
You will have to post a picture, unless I have missed it already.. Thank you Patricia.. welcome..;)
Cool wheels. 😉 Love that blue shade.
I must agree with you Elizabeth,,there were some really powerful blue ones, 🙂
Lovely collection. When my son goes to these car shows he can’t stop taking photos. They are big and toys too
So glad you like, this is the first big one I have been to for a long while and was very good, i have many more photo’s but did not want to do too many..Welcome and thanks..;)
Ahhhhhhhhhh…big boys and their toys. Love it Gerry
Yes Jo, just think what they would be doing other wise..heehee! thank you Jo for stopping by and commenting, welcome and appreciated..;)
They’d be ALL sorts of trouble I think Gerry. Don’t you ?
Oh yes, can just imagine what they would be up to.. all sorts of naughties… love your comments and visits…;)
I think you should buy the red one with ‘Geelongs pictures and prints’ already written on the side… How good would that be for your business!
Yes Trish I liked that as well,, thank you and welcome and appreciate you visit and comment..;)
Great work Gerry before I created the theme toys ,it is toys for the big boys which is complicated on my past theme vehicle, I really love your post my friend 🙂

Oh, women can enjoy big old cars. Haven’t you seen women draped over them in those naught calendars that hang in many garages? 😉 Or are those more sports cars? I try not to look…
Yey Lorna, thank you for your comment, and yes I have my knuckles rapped again, even though my words were only in jest and not serious, but will remember next time if there is a next time.even though being a man I must admit I agree with you still, about calendars and garages.. love your visit and comments, always welcome and appreciated..thank you.;)
Mmmm….want some of these toys to but since I can’t afford one, just admiring them through these amazing pics is more than enough. Thanks.
There were a lot more and some just fab and for sale. but as you say they were expensive.. I like to admire as well..thanks you for visiting and commenting love to read them..;)
Though I am not much of a car fan, I can definitely appreciate all these wonderful classics 🙂

These are real beauties. You photos are terrific. My neighbors restores old old car. He has a huge four car garage to do it in; even the old fashioned upolstery machines for the deat covers. They are masterpieces when they are done. He displas them in car shows and wins many prizes and has lots of sales. Old is never out of style when it comes to cars. Cool entry….
Thank you Izzy for stopping and commenting and sharing your little story as well, always enjoy your comments and welcome thank you..:)

Thank you Patti, glad you like, and cannot wait to see yours.. alaways welcome and appreciated… 😉
