Looks like it's a slow day so here are some pics I took during Saskatoon's annual car show. It's one of Canada's largest shows with over 900 entries this year. The show has a great atmosphere, it's like a street festival for car enthusiasts. It spans 10 city blocks and it is almost impossible to see all of the cars. And the night before the show, everyone cruises around town, hence the name "Cruising Weekend". There was a very nice selection of cars this year and I finally met my dream car in person (Ford GT).
I apologize for the crappy cell phone pics.

Nice dump. Thanks for that. Pics are not bad for a camera. I want one of those NW Territories plates for my collection in the worst way. Never seem to see them locally for sale.
BaconSandwich is tasty.

I had no idea Saskatoon had such a show. The one here in Lethbridge was earlier in the season. Similar size, though.

I was in the dark about Lethbridge's cruise until I read it on Oppo (your post?).

Goddamit, another reason to hate graveyard shifts - I miss good shit like this!
One of the sexiest Citroen's on the planet *and* a Marcos? Colour me jelly.

I feel your pain as I work shift work. I just happened to have that weekend off.
This year had a very nice, varied selection of cars. Usually it's full of Mustangs, Camaros, and Mopar. I can appreciate a well done muscle car, but there are soooo many around here. The 'tuner' scene seems to be growing which is great. I was also pumped to see that Marcos and Ford GT.

I saw a British Car Club show a few years back downtown by The Hotel, and they had Jag, a Bedford van(!) and a few tiny PCH's in the works. No Marcos :-(. Is it really that tiny? An R&T article I read many (MANY!) moons ago implied that one was strongly encouraged to be a masochist to even try getting into that thing, and your pic was the exact same in the article, albeit without the Gulf(!) colour scheme.

Haha. It WAS pretty small, very low/short. I thought it was a lot smaller than the heritage Ford GT there.
And I love that rear end! It reminded me of a Shelby Daytona.

The Citroën looks really clean and complete considering what it is and where it is. Any more pictures?

No, I don't have any more pics of the Citroen. There were so many people everywhere that it was hard to get pictures sometimes. I couldn't even snap a proper pic of the grill head on (or in focus). I don't know a lot about the old European cars but I was drawn to this one and had to get a few pics. It was a 'convertible' in that the roof was cloth and rolled back. The nice couple that own this one also have a Mehari' (it wasn't at the show though).

Yeah, I wasn't really familiar with it until I moved here.
