Ya've never heard of a steam car missus? They are wonderful! They preceded petrol driven cars.

I went to a steam fair many years ago which was held locally, and they hold one every year. I've got some photos which I've since scanned so I'll try to find them and put them on here.

One of my most favourite films of all time was Genevieve, from the 1950s starring Kenneth Moore. If you've never watched it, it is available on YouTube and is a definite must to watch.

Many years ago my husband was stationed in Hampshire and we went to the Beaulieu Car Museum for the day. It was brilliant. Not just cars, but old penny-farthings, three-wheel bikes, everything you can think of which preceded the 1960s. Fantastic.

Re: Steam cars

Some of them take part in the RAC London-Brighton 'Old crocks' race every November. As a child, have stood in the cold and wet many years watching them arriving in Brighton.
