Well it has been a long weekend, especially without team.net...
The closest big city to me (pop. c.4000) had one of its several car shows
Sunday. They rope off main street and let you park your hotrod there for
people to gawk at. Surprisingly, cars come from all over N. California and
Oregon to this show. There were almost 200 cars there by my count. That much
crome, and that many Holleys just start to give me bad ideas <g>. Can you say
v8 powered GT6 ? Back when I was into hotrods, you were lucky to have chrome
acorn nuts on your flathead and little "blue dots" in your tail lights.(If
you have to ask, you're too young) Things certainly have changed. The amount
of work, energy and thought that has gone into these cars is certainly to be
commended. Most of these cars are works of ART. And not a trailer in sight.
These people actually drive their cars here. Very Impressive.
Have you ever actually stood between two '60 slammed Caddies ?
These things are HUGE. I think you could actually put 4 bugeyes in the same
space that one of these behemoths command.
Tons of model T, A and B fords, even a beautiful hotrodded Pierce Arrow, and
just about everything in between. Definetly a good show. Oh yeah, lbc
content. There was a nice red MGTD and a pristine MGTF that belonged to the
"Mercedes Club" ? Also an Alpine and a Tiger. This is hot rod country.
