Great pics as always Chuck! I saw a bunch of them going up 315 last Sunday and wondered where they were headed.

Did not know about this but I had to work anyway.

Chuck, I love your pics. It made me feel like I was there with you.

Thanks for the posting.

Thanks guys, I love taking & sharing pictures.

Eric Jones has been gone for a year now, but his legacy lives on. Most of the cars on his lawn have been repaired by Eric or have in some way been touched by Eric.

Chuck, really nice pics. It looks like the only folks there were the owners.
What a shame, that was a very nice collection of cars.

Thanks for the compliment on the pictures freez3.

Not a shame at all. This was a picnic for the friends & customers of Eric Jones' Riverside Motors. I'd guess this little get together has been going on for the last 20 years or so. It is the nicest car show/picnic I've ever been to.

Chuck~As always thanks for sharing the wonderful photos!!

Chuck, forgive me, I thought the photos were of an "open to the public" car show. Now, I understand. What a neat event!

No problem, freez3. No way for you to know.

It's been so much fun over the years, but this edition was kind of hollow. I hope it can continue in the future as a memorial to the best British car mechanic & rally driver this area has ever seen.
