Toronto Triumph British Car Day
It was a great day in September. Sunny and warm, it just could not get any better. Here are some pictures I took, there are lots of them. If anyone has problems viewing them let me know; I can figure something out.
|
Arriving at BCD, we were greeted by a Mini leaving and a bicycle entering. There is one good thing for those taking admission, there are no loonies or toonies to cause or aggrivate back and counting problems. :-)
