This is a picture of the winner of the Chrome Bumper section of the club. My car is in the picture, too! Note that his first name is the same as mine! His car’s color is a gold vs my “lime flower green” (which is an original color marketed back in the Flower Power days of yore).
Then, if interested, in this PDF file is the recent newsletter from the EMC (English Motoring Club) with a story of the event and another picture of my B next to the winning B.

I’m not sure that Steve’s quick reaction was all that save he and Bambi from colliding. In total twelve EMC’ers made it unscathed for a great pre – show lunch at Uptown Grocery in Natchez.
