(Season 3 The Canterbury Crock) Maury:"We're overheating Mr. Beckman! We'll never shake 'em now." Mr. Beckman:"Well, then, we have no choice but to get ourselves a car that is not overheating. Just do as I say, when we go around that next curve."

Today is a bank holiday in Ireland, and I went to my first car show in a couple of years. I wasn't quite the turnout or era I was expecting, but there were some interesting cars there. There were also some stationary engines and a couple of working miniature traction engines. I'm sure that Roger would've enjoyed the vintage tractors. I know virtually nothing about them, but my friends spent a while looking over several of them and chatting with their owners. Yesterday I visited the Japanese Gardens & Irish National Stud. They're very near The Curragh, an area of common land known for its horse breeders. Despite the drizzle, the gardens were beautiful, with lots of unusual plants and stepping stones through a stream.
