October 04 Lack of contentI know, what the hell have I been doing? Shameless selfpromotion of my stuff or anyone elses stuff can't be done if I do not sit down and type it out. Truth be told I have been very lax in the coverage this year. I'm sorry, If it was not raining (and boy did it rain this year) or I had technical problems with the camera,etc,etc. It seems that I went no where. I did take in quite a few excellent shows and cruise nites. I really want to do some more but everyone says this when the window of opportunity starts to close. Sure I will drive the cars around for a while longer but what I'm really looking forward to is another long trip. I have to say that the Musclepalloza show was the best of me this year because it proved the road worthyness of Orange. It rained,so what! It sucked to have to really clean the car when I got there but that was half the trip. 434 miles and not a drop of oil burned and not one mechanical noise out of place. I must say.......I'm proud of my self. Not to short sell my brother in law Mark. His Malibu kicked ass and ran just as well.however he is a mechanic by trade so I would expect nothing less. (Sorry Mark) Mark is currently swapping out the 10 bolt for a 12 bolt posi. NOW he will be a real terror on the road!!!!! The first place he will light them up will be in front of his house. The second place will be my house.
Rick and Paula got their rides out this year too. Well, Rick always manages to get his car back together in time but poor Paula . Her 35 had nothing but mechanical problems for the past 2 years. It sat in the garage collecting dust. The call went out and Mark got into it. Fuel,timing,air you name it and to top it all off.........a bumble bee in the fuel line!!!!!!!!!! No, I'm serious. A BEE!!!!! He did manage to save it and it now resides in a glass bottle on the shelf.
My other brother in law Mike was not so lucky this year. Work. No he was not laid off or anything like that. In fact he has a ton of it which is why he missed out on the cruise nites and shows. He was not completly out of the hobby though. He did manage to build a new annex to the garage. 24x16 x14 high. With a lift.! Hard work does pay off but we did miss him at the events. Hopefully he will be in full attendance next season.
I will try to get some more pictures before the season is over. Maybe even sit down and type up some more crap. Don't forget that the October Stafford is on the 18th in Stafford Springs CT.
That is all for now.    TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://weststreetclassics.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!F9B8F0F86C4FCF56!1301.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
