The downtown of Kitchener was jammed by 500 vintage cars on the evening of 8th July, 2011. The proud owners brought their babies to the nearby park by the afternoon and then joined the parade thru the King Street for an hour. I happened to see them while returning from office. The gathering at the park was very colorful, but I had to go home. In the evening I got a chance to take my camera out to the city hall area, where the tired cars were resting with open bonnet and abundance of visitors strolling on the road. I was successful to take few pictures of some good looking oldies in the fading light (Click here to see these).
The owners have displayed boards stating that the cars were pretty expensive and wouldn’t like to get touched by strangers. A lady mistakenly touched one car while her husband was busy taking picture of the car ahead of it. The result was of course not very desired for the lady, the owner of the car shouted on her face and shown her a pair of red eyes.
The vintage fever has touched the police also, one was also riding a vintage motor cycle.
