Ok, most boat bits seem now sorted, weather forecast is pretty good, and hopefully tomorrow I'll catch up with Hurricane in CF.
Thefefore, I though to make a brief pics selection to give a taste of the event previously mentioned.
Which btw is rather well known, therefore obviously I wasn't alone in taking pics, and neither I was the best photographer around for sure.
Anyone interested can find plenty of other pics in this webpage, for instance:

First of all, below is a larger view of the former Princess Margaret Phantom IV (the rarest of all Rolls, as I'm told), with truly yours reflected in the mirror-like black body paint.
An interesting story about it is that normally these cars were built with leather in the front seat and cloth in the rear (more comfortable, as opposed to more durable leather for the higher wear chauffeur seat), but the Princess wanted cloth also on the front seat because she wanted to drive herself. Talk about changing times!
But there weren't just classic cars - here's a few examples of modern stuff...
...without forgetting some mobo bits...
Now, back to classic, continuing from where we left off, i.e. on the water...
...and eventually, to some seriously cool road stuff...
Don't ask me what whoever painted this Miura in this color was thinking, but imho nothing can diminish its stunning beauty!
And last but not least, a "caption, anyone?" pic. Talk about a car-focused jury, that doesn't get easily distracted...!
