Well...we made it there...and back! What a great time! Got into Lethbridge about 7:15 Friday and drove straight to the exhibition grounds to sign in for the cruise. Apparently they were being a little picky about who was allowed in the cruise and were making them drive down the "runway" sort of like an audition. We drove up; a young lady came up and slapped a sticker on my windshield and leaned down and said "signing in for the cruise?" Guess I passed the audition...
The cruise was fun although it was pretty much like it was 20 years ago downtown Calgary on a Saturday night. All the cars drove up and down 3rd Ave. The only difference was we were the only cars allowed on the street. Lots and lots of interesting vehicles. I'm not even going to try to list them. Street Wheelers should have some pictures up on their website sometime.
Saturday Beth and I spent most of the day with my parents but came into Lethbridge for afternoon "tea" at Craig and Deidre's (hope I spelled that right) place. Ian and his buddy Pat were there too. Great to see all Craig's toys and his car. That's one clean 122. Makes mine look like a rust-bucket...
This morning we came into town early to get a good spot at the show & shine. Again, so many cars there it would be difficult to even begin to describe any of them. Suffice it to say there were a mind-boggling number of unbelievable cars, from classics to full mods and absolutely everything in between. I could've spent all day taking pictures but I would've been waiting all day for people to get out of the way too. There were an astounding number of people there. It seemed like there were crowds of people walking by...all the time. However...I did snap a few pictures...mainly of Ian's and my car...and a couple for Matt...
First, the couple for Matt...
Yup...a Hemi Superbird. Looked like 10,009 miles on the clock and it could've been original, for all I could tell. It was perfect...
And now some of our cars, and the crowds...
So...there you have it...my first cruise and show. Loads of positive comments from people. Fascinating to listen in to people chatting amongst themselves about either car. We had a great location, on either side of a couple of trees so had plenty of space between for chairs and guests. It was a great time. Beth even enjoyed it and she was there for almost the entire 6 hours! Start planning now for next year guys. We'll show them a serious Volvo representation...
Ok, I remember when I was jobless I didn't have money for anything ... Jobless = surfing, got to figure out what I did wrong
Did you have a wife making money to pay for your surfing trips?
V8 Volvo and new(er) C70 for me, Joan has cool Oldmobile, life is good
