WEEKLY WINNERS - Old timers


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

I am not a car fan at all. For me a car has to have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, and breaks. If on the top of that it looks nice and is comfortable, then I am happy.

Nevertheless I went to the Waterloo Lion where an old timer race took place. I like to see these old cars and imagine how the streets looked like with them and their high speed of a few km or miles !

But this little thing, a Fiat 500 is still to be seen on the streets ! They must be at least 35 to 40 years old by now. I found it on the parking place.

OLD TIMER RACE AT WATERLOO

There was an Old Timer race in Waterloo, just under the Lion who didn't even watch because he turns his head towards the UK.



The owners were very proud of course and although the weather was quite cool they showed us their cars which they pamper since years.







The little Fiat 500 is compared to the others a "new" car. Mr. Gattino had one like this when he was 20 !



Napoleon watched stoically



This maybe is not a very feminine subject and usually I am not interested in cars at all, but these old cars are really interesting to see. What a progress has been made since last century !
