I can't make it at all this year. Something came up on the Sunday, and Saturday Roberta's working.

Ok - no one seems to be paying attention (except Matt). Confirmed are:

Dale and Beth,
Ian
Dave M
Greg (maybe)

That's the entire group? We're going to need a few lawn chairs.

Well that was thoroughly enjoyable. Beautiful night Friday for some cruising. Thanks to Craig for drinking too much at dinner Friday so I HAD to drive his 122. Hard to believe in a city of however big Lethbridge is with an extra however many thousands of visitors, I saw Tyler 3 different times. Once Friday on the cruise and twice Saturday doing random stuff. The 100ft drags were good fun although I'm not sure that will be marked on the calendar every year.

The show and shine was busier than I've ever seen it and I think Dave's teardrop trailer attracted as much attention as any vehicle in the show. Good fun indeed. I've got some pictures I'll upload soon...

Thanks to Craig and Deirdre for hosting the BBQ Saturday night. It was great to see everyone. I'm pretty certain everyone had a wonderful time.

Looking forward to next year.... :)

edit....


Here are some pictures...

I might add some captions when I get time but I figure most of you will know what's happening anyway...

What's up with the jeweled rear window? Newest show of hatred from the blue car?

Craig noticed the big screw on the clasp was loose and decided to tighten it up. Too many Dupuis...strike 1. No plastic washer...strike 2...the rest is obvious. If not for the film of tint on the inside, there would have been glass all over the place...

More hate...that's the size of it. I got the window changed as soon as I got home and reused the frame and found the right tint. At least that part went OK. Oh, and the 122 actually got one fan favorite vote and one guy tried to buy the car. Moral victories all round.

Thanks to everyone for making the even such a fun time. Lots more relaxed than last year and if we can ever get the parking vs frying in the sun equation worked out we'll have this car show thing licked.

For those that missed it - we'll see you next year.

If you don't like car shows much, you'll have to take my word for it that the "people show" is probably just as fun...this year Uncle Jesse showed up in a sectioned S10 with an engine in the middle of the truck bed. He's sectioned the truck just behind the front of the bed with a sawsall and lengthened it 5' then put the box back on (didn't close anything in, jagged metal everywhere). 8" of drive shaft 8-71 blower, sketchy as hell. And yes, he was wearing "railroad" coverall's! Ah, Southern Alberta, land of the free, home of the hill billy. We won't even tell you what the pig farmers from Picture Butte showed up in!

Great pics Dale thanks for sharing. Thanks to Craig and Deirdre for hosting the BBQ. Sorry I missed the S&S, Dave's Oranje 244 needs a black armband... :(

I might've had a picture had some hillbilly not decided to stand up to get a closer look at the action...

What do 60" of tire, a Chevette and a 13-71 blower all have in common?





































They were packaged together and driven by some crazy pig farmer in the 100ft drags... He was going 66 mph when he crossed the finish line and had to work pretty hard to keep it straight and get it stopped before he ran out of room or talent...:shock:
