Classic car show - a journey through time on four wheels
Yesterday was super interesting! 😊 When I woke up, I knew I had something important to do, but I couldn’t remember what. Then, while driving to buy stuff for lunch, we saw an old car and suddenly remembered the oldtimer car show! My husband and I started laughing like crazy because we both forgot about it. So, no cooking for us—we had to see the show!
Let’s check out the cars! 😊
They organize this show every year in a nearby town. There was no entrance fee, but you could donate to charity. The coolest part was the auction, if you donated the most, you got a ride in the car! Such a fun way to raise money. I think everyone dreams of driving a classic car. I'm not a big car fan, but oldtimers make me so happy. When I was little, my neighbor had a green VW Beetle with a sliding roof, and I’ve loved it ever since. One day, when I’m rich, there will be signs in my garage! 😊
The show wasn’t huge, but it had so many cars I love. Seeing them was awesome. There were also pre-WW2 and wartime Mercedes cars.
There was also a car built out of wood, which I had never seen before.
Sadly, I don't remember the years some cars were made or took many pictures because I was too busy admiring them. But I did take a picture with a lot of VW Beetles.
One car that really caught my eye was a white Ferrari. A woman got out of it, and all the men surrounded her, asking how she got such a car. It was funny seeing them so curious about a woman owning a Ferrari. 😊
Seeing such cars in person is definitely different from seeing them on TV. It’s a unique feeling because you can truly appreciate the history these cars represent.
This one caught my eye—actually, the engine did. I’m sure if this car broke down, I could repair it. 😊 Compared to modern engines, those from that time weren’t so complicated. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible for me to change a car's light bulb!
And the colors of those cars are truly iconic.
I'm not exactly sure what this car was doing there, but when he started the engine, oh wow, what a sound this is 🙂
And this one. Small but beautiful 🤩
What so you think? Which one do you like? 😉

Ferrari 🤤
Wow, you had a great car day 👍🏻, I really liked this one 💚
Puch the legend 😂 color is perfect. It's really exciting to see those old car, so many history. thanks for stopping by 😉
That last shot is my favorite. It would be tough to choose which car is a fav though! hahaha
beetle will always be my favorite :) but this white Ferrari is also amazing :) thx for the comment, have a nice day😉
How dare a woman own a Ferrari!
Seriously though, isn't it strange how men apply labels to women, box them up into convenient little packages, and react with curiosity when one comes a long who operates in an out-of-the-box fashion.
Legit Ferrari (looks good in white) but I like that red SL300 better.
ok, yeah this red Mercedes is really not bad, still, I'm a beetle fan 😂 but maybe like I wrote it in my post, if someday I'm going to be rich, there are going to be signs in my garage…not one, but two 😂 Thanks for stopping by!
My first car was a Beetle, 1964. It was a rust bucket but I paid for it with money I'd saved for a couple years at a part time after-school job and at the age of 16 I was pretty happy with it.
There's no way someone can afford a car these days with work after school. Sad where we've come to. Maybe you managed to earn money for the bike. Oh, so you drove my dream car! Buying it now would cost me a year's salary. It's funny, I don't even like new cars that much. The car I have now, from 2018, costs less than an old Beetle from 1958. But without a garage, I wouldn't want to own a classic car like that. It's the kind of car you take out for a drive every now and then, dust off, and then put back in the garage. ;)
Yeah, it was a long time ago in 1986 and I paid $450AUD. I was pretty proud of my efforts considering how little I was earning at that supermarket job after school a d considering that as soon as I started working there I began paying muy parents board money to help them out as they were not wealthy people. I started that job when I was 13 and three years later it culminated in that Beetle and enough money to register it and run it.
Later I bought a 1972 VW Fastback TLE (fuel injected) and loved that car and since then have had countless vehicles, 50+ actually. I've been fortunate enough to have worked hard and made good decisions and been able to engage in one of my passions, vehicles.
I love Beetles, such an awesome car and would love one now, an old one, but like you say, they're costly!
Wow, it sounds like you've had quite an amazing journey with cars! I had to google what kind of car you meant because I didn't know the model, but it's beautiful :)) My first car was a Twingo, and I bought it for 1000 euros. I started working at a bar after school when I was 17 to save money for a car. I was in love with it, probably because I worked hard to buy it myself, which meant a lot to me.You must have been really proud to save up for that Beetle while working at the supermarket and helping your parents. It's inspiring how hard you worked from such a young age. Owning over 50 vehicles is incredible! You've really followed your passion for cars. i'm not sure if kids nowadays appreciate what they receive from their parents. My mom always said that I need to work to buy things myself so I can truly appreciate what I achieved on my own, without any help. And yes, it helped.
Kids (most of them) don't appreciate much at all, they're often too busy feeling entitled to something for nothing, and I certainly think work ethic is low on their priority list. Well done for taking your future into your own hands.
