On the other side of The Pond, though, it's a different story, and my sister, who's currently holidaying in Florida, was kind enough to send over these pictures of what American enthusiasts are getting up to.
The Old Town Kissimmee Car Festival sounds like a great event; every weekend, thousands of classic car owners congregate in the Old Town in the Florida city of Kissimmee to show off their pride and joy - and, with my sister reporting it's around 28 degrees celsius there at the moment, conditions are rather more inviting than the sub-zero temperatures parts of the north west are currently enduring!
With it being an American show there was plenty of homegrown V8 muscle on offer - Corvettes, Mustangs, Thunderbirds and so on - but it was refreshing to see the people of Florida have just as much enthusiasm for Europe's classics, with a Fiat 500, Austin Healey 100, Jaguar E-Type, and numerous VW Beetles among the entrants.
Life On Cars - or rather, Life On Cars' sister Becky while she was on holiday - took these pictures at last weekend's event:
Life On Cars would like to thank Rebecca Simister for providing the pictures from the Old Town Kissimmee Car Festival.
