Thank you to ALL for a GREAT DAY!!! Here are...
a few more photos of some of the oddities I found there... Unfortunately many did not come out too well. These are the best I could muster...
First off... Since Bob Brown was layin' around the house doing nuttin' most of the time... I made him detail MY car before the show...
My son Joe, daughter-in-law Nicole and my daughter Noelle showed up at the show dragging Bella-Ella-Noelle and Anthony with them. Ant'ny is a little camera-shy...
WHO IS THIS GUY, anyway? I have seen this car just about every year parked outside the event and I have no idea who he/she is! It appears to be a pure stock '79 but has hood vents for the radiator!
George Aspron's Citroen Sum-ding-er-other 2 cylinder air-cooled 4 speed "centrifugal clutch" operated thingie... that is IMMACULATELY built, torn apart, painted and then riveted back together again...
One would SWEAR it was a brand-new car! Called a Mahari! I fergit the year...
Another Citroen Sum-ding-er-other (SM?) Surf Wagon P/U El Camino, I guess. Well executed and...
... possibly the builder should be executed as well! HA!
Lastly... WHAT A SURPRISE! A day late and a dollar short as usual too! OUR Richard Banks (Quantumleap) out of Marietta Georgia had some guy up in New Hampshire ship me a 12 pack and an original Bottle Label from way back when.
If you have not had the pleasure of tasting the ORIGINAL NERVE TONIC from 1884... you are in for a real treat. Coca Cola probably stole the original Cocaine proportions in 1885 when they started up a year later...
Anyway... Google "Moxie" for more info...
Hey, if it was good enough for Ted Williams... then put it on your Bucket List the next time you are up in any of the FIVE New England states that are allowed to sell it! (NH, MA, ME, VT, CT)
Its also the Unofficial Beverage of SoCal X1/9's!
Lastly... Most of us were BEAT when we got home after a grand day meeting some old friends and getting to meet some new ones as well. Bob Turchan's generosity and the good folks from NorCal's FiatAmerica club made breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, fruit, coffee, rolls & donuts more pleasurable than anything you could get at Denny's!
Then our resident Culinary Experts (wannabee's) Mike Busman and Tommy Mastracchio cooked up the Italian Sausage and Peppers, rolls, Hamburgers, along with other donations from Susie (NorCal) and our own Ricardo with Chips and Dips, and homemade Brownies...
I had the pleasure of supplying libations... but alas, the shipment of Moxie came just a little late. Otherwise... PERFECT, PERFECT, PERFECT! Thanks again to all that came from all over this planet and made our day!
