Caux Retro Photobook

Just created a photobox of our memories of the Caux Retro 2018 and 2019 (still hoping the event this year is not cancelled).

The book was created thanks to a voucher from Saal Digital so many thanks to them for their kindness.

Really delighted with the book, the quality of the images and the colour is superb. The software worked well (on my Mac) and was easy to use and customise. 

A few things.. 

The quality of the book is amazing.
The perspex cover looks great!
The lay flat design works well with images spanning two pages.
The font size I used for the general text was 14pt, while it looked great in the application is too big in the printed book, 12pt or 10pt would have been better. The word spacing (kerning) would then have been better without large gaps between words when using fully justified text.

Overall thoroughly recommended, quick and easy to use  although the professional series is not cheap so better saved for very special occasions such as weddings.

Caux Retro

We have now attended this event twice, in 2018 and 2019. It's not a big show but it's friendly and there are a great range of different cars from across Europe. It's a two day event which includes a road rally across the region on the Saturday, with the obligatory refreshment and lunch stops and a static show in the middle of the local town, Allouville-Bellefosse on the Sunday.

Latest Purchases

Recently bought a red 1987 Lotus Excel SE, a bit of a project car but mechanically pretty well sorted (I hope)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Just found four amazing wheels for my Elan from Doncaster. I think these are at least 35+ years old and could have been made by Dunlop, but they look like new. Just need to decide on some tyres now. They are the 'proper' 4/12J x 13 Elan size as well rather than the wider wheels which are more easily available.
