Sunday 1st July 2012

This morning started grey and overcast but, not to be deterred, Chris and I dropped the roof on the MR2 and set off. We took a meandering route south as we thought we might visit the Queenie festival so, after calling into see some friends (who have just moved to Castletown), we headed to Port St Mary. We managed to park and headed down to where the festival was being held. We then saw there was a gate with a sign and a suggested £3 donation for adults to enter. We decided against this and, after a picnic headed back up north.

Chris went off to bed (Sunday afternoon - he always does) and I headed over to Mooragh Park to see the classic cars.

As I walked through the park, there were some people on the lake practising for next week's tin bath championships in Castletown. Now, I'm sure this man wasn't naked but.....

I carried on to have a look at the cars. There were a number of classic and newer Jaguars

There were a number of other classics such as old Rolls Royce, Austin Healey, Model T Ford etc

Just as I was about to leave a Ferrari pulled up so, I went for a wander over. This was a 1979 car and had been on the island with one owner since new with just 5000 miles on the clock. Such a shame to own a car like that but to enjoy it so infrequently
