A Sunny, Cold, Classic Car Morning at Wimbledon Common

Woah, it’s been 8 months since I last wrote some words specifically for my own website. I’ve been mighty busy writing car culture related stuff for Speedhunters, or my recent pride and joy @mildlyinterestingcarsoflondon.

Anyway, it’s kind of dawned on me that as I get older, I’m not just interested in modified cars anymore. I like everything. Fast cars, old cars, broken cars, hell I even get a kick out of Chod every now and then.

So, I think this year I’ll make an effort to bring my camera along to more car events and share with you lovely lot here, and on Candy’s Instagram page, content from the UK’s wider car culture, not just the modified stuff.

When I moved into my flat in Wimbledon, I bumped into a chap on my road who sometimes parks an immaculate classic Fiat 500 next to my 7 series. We met a couple times and got chatty, before he mentioned a classic car meeting that happens at the top of my road.

So, I did some digging on IG and found the organisers of the event. After asking a few questions here and there, I got the time and location and made my way up. Now, these things happen early. Like, 8:00AM early. This doesn’t always align with a busy weekend of working (drinking?) but yesterday I made it happen.

Anyway, I had the best morning with my friends looking at cars I can continue to lust over and dream of one day owning and driving. I’ll leave you lovely lot with an album of photos from the morning. I’m off to another car event this coming weekend, so if you enjoy seeing a broader spectrum of cars on Candy Showroom, I’ll bring my camera along to that too.

Take it easy, see you soon!
