Deanna Hunter鈥檚 first car was a 1977 Honda Civic that she bought when she was 15.
鈥淚 learned to do mechanic work, body work, and all that. I had to sell it [when] it rusted apart though,鈥� said Hunter, a lifelong Aldergrove resident.
About 10 years ago, she saw a listing in Kelowna for another civic just like her first car and Hunter jumped on the opportunity.
鈥淚 said 鈥榙on鈥檛 sell it鈥� and I brought a trailer, and I鈥檝e been living out my teenage years.鈥�
From the tire rims to the yellow paint, everything on her vintage vehicle is original.
This was the second year Hunter brought her 1977 Honda Civic to the Aldy Show n鈥� Shine car show at the Aldergrove Fair, but she has attended every year since it started.
鈥淚 enjoy meeting other people that have similar interests. I love hearing about everybody鈥檚 nostalgic story,鈥� she said.
This year, like previous years, the show attracted hundreds of classic, custom, and collector cars and even more car fans to the Aldergrove Community Secondary parking lot.
A variety of vehicles including military, imports, race cars, and motorcycles were on display on Friday, July 14 to kick-off the Aldergrove Fair weekend.
Martin Ross brought one of his England police patrol cars from the 1960s for something different.
鈥淚 like talking about the car. A lot of people can鈥檛 believe it was a police car,鈥� he said.
He said for anybody interested in refurbishing old cars to have some fun.
鈥淚t can be expensive and frustrating, but it鈥檚 a good hobby and there鈥檚 community around it.鈥�
Patty Bennett, director of the car show, said Aldergrove has a lot of car enthusiasts.
鈥淚t was established as a great racing hub with the 91原创 Speedway and the 91原创 Quarter Midget Association. The speedway is no longer operating, but the area still has talented car builders and many car club members,鈥� she said.
The car show started in 2009.
The Aldergrove Fair takes place Saturday, July 15 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, July 16 until 4 p.m.
