515 Classic Cars Attract Enthusiasts

In Search of Hope – by Sam Gannon

Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

The official opening of the Classic Car Revival exhibition took place today. With 515 vehicles in Praça do Povo, the event is eye-catching, to say the least, not to mention the star car, which is a Lamborghini Miura P400 SV, belonging to the Caramulo Museum, and valued at 3 million euros.

Praça do Povo attracted hundreds of visitors in a revivalist atmosphere, including the President of the Regional Government, the Regional Secretary for Tourism and Culture, and the President of the Classic Car Club of Madeira.

Miguel Albuquerque was seen keenly observing the vehicles while speaking to presenter Jorge Gabriel, stating that the variety of cars and the event is vitally important to Madeira.

Concluding, Eduardo Jesus said, “as part of the Flower Festival, the exhibition creates yet another tourism opportunity for the region during May.”
