It’s Wednesday. The Brynmawr Car and Bike Show rolled into the Brynmawr Town Centre on July 27, 2025, showcasing classic cars alongside plenty of family-friendly entertainment. Although this year’s event is now in the rear-view mirror, one of my readers was there and came back with a bunch of two-wheeled & four-wheeled goodness!

So enjoy the gallery of photos below and thanks for taking the time to send ’em in, Rob!

Keep,

Bit slow in sending but here are some entries at the July Brynmawr car and bike show. Only a little South Wales, UK town, but some exotica came out for the day.

It’s Tuesday. Shaquille O’Neal’s custom Corvette is every bit as larger-than-life as the man himself. Because of his 7’1” frame, a standard Corvette simply wouldn’t cut it. So his ride had to be specially modified to fit his size and style. The car was reengineered and stretched roughly 20-inches by Effortless Motors in Riverside, California, to give him the necessary extra legroom and headspace, while still keeping the sleek, aggressive profile of the iconic sports car. True to Shaq’s personality, it isn’t just practical—it’s bold, flashy, and impossible to miss on the road, blending raw performance with celebrity-level customization. Shaq can now blow your doors off while reclining comfortably like he’s in first-class seating!

It’s Monday. The weekend weather was absolutely spectacular—and honestly, it’s been gorgeous for the past couple weeks. On Sunday we took the Vette for a scenic drive up to Lake Holiday, Illinois, a charming community built around a picturesque 328-acre man-made lake between Sandwich and Somonauk. The lake and the homes lining its shore were stunning. I’d love to have a place there for the summer. Anyone wanting to help make that possible can make their way over to the donation section.

One thing that caught my eye on the drive up was how many homes were already decked out for Halloween. We were especially surprised by this one we spotted in Sandwich, Illinois. Despite the exterior being under renovation, the owners still managed to find the time to put up the Halloween decorations!

One last thing… I recorded the Bears game against the Lions and watched it when we got home. Now I wish I hadn’t. It was brutal for the Bears with a final score of 21-52.
