The Microcar Minicar World Meet 2010 was a fabulous event! It was a wonderful opportunity to see a lot of cars that you just don’t see on the road, much less at your regular car shows. The fascinating array included Vespas, Skodas, Reliants, Crosleys, Rutes, Nashes, Berkleys, Wolseleys, Citroens and even Lloyds. View photos…

After the show, the heat chased us to near-by Kaleidoscoops for ice cream. The cool treat was a welcome respite from the sun. View photos…

Surprisingly, there were a lot less potentially fatal accidents this year at State Fair. I almost got one group, but they narrowly escaped. Not that I was aiming for them, no. More like, I was busy doing my parade duties of waving, grinning, steering, keeping an eye out for danger, while they did their anti-parade maneuver of jumping out in front of a moving vehicle. Other than that, the parade went off without a hitch. I feel like the Milwaukee Minis really know what their doing now and could just randomly gather, throw on some decorations and start a parade. We’ll have to start the world’s first MINI motoring band. I promise not to play, drive and take photos. Anyway, view State Fair photos…

John’s Drive-In is the only place I’ve seen carrying the Root Beer Frosty. Basically, it’s a blended root beer float/milk shake made with ice cream and their homemade root beer. It was delicious and they’ll even make it with chocolate, if you ask. The other foods we tried were excellent and of the usual drive-in fare. View photos…
