I've been a little Busy Lately (56K Warning) 5 Photos

Nothing real artistic about this first shot, as it's just a basic overview of a carshow.
What makes this car show kind of special to myself and my partner Robert C. is that we were the actual promoters of this show.

Nice looking cars but nothing artistic like that really grabs me or has the "wow" factor.

Yeah, I know, that's why I posted the disclaimer above. Just thought I'd share what I've been up to.
Thanks for looking anyway.

Nice cars. I bet that's another expensive hobby.

Thanks BB. Yes! They can be QUITE expensive. Especially if you buy them finished.
If you're willing to do most of the work yourself, they're still moderately expensive, but almost affordable.

congratulations to you both on organizing the rally Bruce
looks like you got a great day for it

I love these cars.
beautiful colours

in the second picture , is that your friend Robert ?

the tyres are massive in the last shot.
Mark looks really proud of his winning certificate for outstanding vehicle

I never heard of Micky Thompsons before. but have now
and seeing is believing


how many cars turned out altogether ?
it must have been a wonderful day for all those who took part,
thanks to you pair

did anyone sponsor the rally ?
prizes ?
I wonder what are all the wires over the stores in the first shot
is that a park enclosure specially for this type of thing Bruce ?

what kind of car did you and your friend ride in ?

in the second picture , is that your friend Robert ?
Actually, You were pretty close. Robert is the guy with the Yellow shirt that is walking away from behind the man with the trophy.

Marie, These are some of the LARGEST Mickey Thompsons tires that I have seen as well. These tires are built with a soft compound rubber, so when heated up get real sticky for excellent traction.

how many cars turned out altogether ?
There were slightly more than a hundred, and Art, who is our mentor, as well as a HUGE help, and the promoter of much larger venues like Super Run, said if this was on a Saturday we probably would have been 3 to 4 times that many, but this was our first, so we were happy with it.

thanks to you pair

did anyone sponsor the rally ? No! We did it all.
prizes ? Yes, Aside from trophies, we had a working antique traffic signal from the 50's, a real fire hydrant that you can set in the yard and hook your garden hose to, a real antique street sign, as well as a lot of smaller stuff to give away.
Here's Robert on the left, presenting the parking meter to the winner.

what kind of car did you and your friend ride in ?

We didn't ride in anything, We worked our tails off, but Robert has one of the NICEST 65 Super Sport Chevelles that I have ever seen.

they are much better prizes then usually we hear about
and very different
and will be prized.

These may not be great from an artistic point of view, but they are still great shots. Such cool cars and showing pics of something you promoted is good, both hobbies in one!

I love the last shot. Not sure if the two fat tyres on the back are best, or the two baby ones on the front. Thanks for sharing.

These were kinda my thoughts too. Thanks for the comments.

Equipment fetish at it's best LOL

sometime pictures are supposed to be art pieces, but just cpture a moment that means something to us. you can look back on these shots someday when you are too old to put these things together. cool shots..

Dont Ya just know it?
