Done and in the Sun Tour '08..........Big Olds does Knoxville, TN

Well, then you'd better bring your late-night drinking shoes to the Rust Revival! We'll make sure you wear them out! See you two soon....

Thanks again for the great pics and words, Denise! Now, where were all of the '50s and '60s cars I'm so fond of?

Did your pops have any luck selling his rig?

 

You're a hoot Frank...Love ya!

I certainly need to rest up for that weekend.

I really, really wanted to meet you

Silly me, I left out a whole section to the story. In the photo where AJ is sitting on Dad's lap was about the time this dude walks up and starts asking Dad about the car. Dad walks around the car with him explaining everything then took him for a ride. Dude says he needs to think about it. Walks away. Comes back about 15 minutes later. Asks Dad if he'll take a check...yeah right Banks are closed. Dudes says he's 95% sure he wants the car and will call Dad in a day or two, which the dude did already. They talked price, Dad sold him the car, he's coming up on the 21st to pick it up.

I'm sure the quick sale had something to do with the very cool looking, color coordinated For Sale flyers I made Dad for the show. I wonder if I'm going to get a sales commission on it like Megan does when she sells a car?

 

Hi Denise...Great job as usual..Sure do like that black "T" shirt with the funky
pinstiping on it..where can I get one?????Ha! Ha!Ha!...Did you get a full set of Fiesta caps yet?..Let me know...Still have these two down here in Texas...

 

That's GREAT news! I can't believe you hadn't told me yet! I'll have to give him some tips on this commission arrangement stuff

 

Haven't gotten any yet. The ones on Big Olds in the photo shoot are all borrowed. I'll have some extra money to spend on caps early next month. Shoot me a PM with prices for the two so i know how much to save.

Hello to the rest of the boys from me please.

 

Denise,,,I am really glad you and your dad made the trip to the Nats South,,,,It was indeed a pleasure meeting you both.

Brenda (mrs. HRP)really enjoyed the time spent with you and your dad also.

I also had the chance to met a few Hambers I had never met along with a couple of lurkers.

The weather was pretty good and the quility of cars wasn't bad.

Sorry I didn't make it to Calhouns,,,

You always do a fantastic job on covering shows,,,this one was no different.

My only fault with this Hamb gathering was ,,,Where were the cookies? HRP

BTW,,,the photo of crestliner,Deuce Roadster and myself look like tube headers,,

 

My favorite car of the show as well, you should see the grill on it, and they didn't even get a mention. Anyone have pictures from the front?
Good seeing everyone, we had a great time - see you next weekend at the Showdown.

 

Can I help you out with that?



I think this is the right car.

It was fun meeting everybody.

Denise I really enjoyed talking to your dad. It's funny we have a San Diego connection. If you ever want to see some cruise night photos from your old stomping grounds in El Cajon, I have lots in my Fotki albums.

Next time, hows about a ride in Big Olds?

 

Denise, glad to have meet you and your dad, along with the rest of the HAMBers.

Sorry didn't make it over to see the famous Big Olds, people i was with was ready to leave.

I like Hotrodprimer had my mouth set for the notorious chocolate chip cookies, no luck.

 

Denise, Glad I finally got to meet you. Hope to see ya next year. Kennedy

 

Denise....PM sent

Denise,
The Big Olds is lookin' good, and so are you. Glad to finally get to meet you and some more of the HAMB crew.
Robert, Harrison is correct after 34 years of having to be clean shaven for the Fire Brigade and setting a good example for my Men I have "ran a wheel off" in retirement. You need to load up some of the "limey loafers" and come over and see us again. Paul was asking about you guys yesterday, he conned me into going over and helping him move out his old sofa and bring in a new one.

 

Denise great coverage and it was really great to meet you and the other HAMBers that showed up.Glad you enjoyed your trip down here to East TN.

 

Denise,,,,Has your mom got over being mad at your dad about taking up his old habit again? HRP

 

Thanks for the pics. Some of those guys from West Tenn. are a little on the shady side. Just thought you should know.

 

I wish I had extra ones to share.....you know what...you're looking alittle peekid...perhaps you need to stay home and rest next Saturday.

Fixed

You BET! and I'd love one in your modified afterwards

How about GG Indy?? I'll even save two for you

Thanks bud, appreciate the kind words. I enjoyed our chat.

It's a beautiful part of the country, I always enjoy the scenery and people in TN.

Oh no....Dad will be in the dog house for a long time

 

Nice pics of Big Olds... Damn was there any half ass shabby cars there at all. Some damn nice rides and the venue looked killer...

Thanks for another damn fine write.

 

Great post. God I want one of each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoy them.
There are lots of other albums in there from other cruise nights and car shows around San Diego county. Look around all you want.

 

thanks for the post. It was a great show; I remember seeing your car there.

 

Hey Denise,
We really enjoyed the show in Knoxville, and one of the highlights was meeting you, your dad, and all the others that showed up for Saturdays Meet & Greet. Our little paper name badges are hanging in the office, as a token of remembrance. Loved seeing all the cars, especially Big Olds... and your coverage of the show rocks!

Can't wait to do it again. And maybe I'll be less of a lurker and more of a poster now that I've met some of you HAMBers.

Skye (aka HotRodChick)

 

nice pic. old man didn't sell his car?

 

Thanks! That car looks killer. I love how the top looks thinned up because of the chop.

 

as always denise excellent show coverage for us poor dumb schlubs that couldnt make the show.. great pics all ..

 

Thanks for the great post! They're always fun to look at and read through. I've spent a good bit of time at Austin Speed Shop when Big Olds was hanging there waiting for upholstery, hope to get to meet you in the future.
