Done and in the Sun Tour 2008....Rusty Olds does the Jalopy Showdown.

nice score denise and thanks for draggin us along on the virtual trip.. excellent coverage as always..

 

WOW! What a post! Great read and fantastic pics..... Looks like everyone had a great time..... I gotta go sometime... Great find to park alongside Big Olds.

 

GREAT Post ladies!
As usual the show was great! We all had a riot with you guy's at the camp site..
Thanks for the laugh's and good time's.
I'm already looking forward to next year!
We'll have to trump '08 somehow! haha


Tony..

 

Great thread... Who else wants to go do it all over again right now? Hasn't even been a week yet and I wish it was time for the next Showdown.

 

Didn't think you were ever going to let old rusty out of the bag. Laughed my a-- off watching the mud wrestling. Looked to be a good time for all. Enjoyed the thread as usual.

 

As always thanks for the great threads Megan and Denise!

Maybe Rusty Olds should just get slammed and stay rusty! And if you do paint it, it should be copper (rust colored).

 

what's the plan for the 2nd fat Olds?

 

The mud wrestling was a hoot!,,,HRP

 

Denise, it was great meeting you again too. Don't worry about "outing" me . Judging by how gay I look in the pics I'm sure people can figure it out for themselves. I'm still trying to grab the 53 sedan delivery, so I'll keep ya posted. I'm heading off to Paso/maria tomorrow morning to meet up with Sophia, who's flying in from Austria. Hopefully when I get back I can pick up the 53. Keep me posted with the progress on Rusty Olds

 

Damn.....we did all that?? No wonder I'm still tired.

Was a fun long weekend with a great bunch of people. Larry and crew did an excellent job!!

Looking foreword to taking my own ride next year and not hand winching cars onto trailers.

Two words....ELECTRIC WINCH!

 

Geeze, I had to take a pee break just to get through the whole post

I can see it now:

 

While you're in there why don't you clean the garage too

 

Denise,it was good to see you again. Will we see you at the Jalopy Drags?? Who are those 2 fat dudes?????

 

nice color choice for the rusty olds

 

As always, great coverage girls. You guys rock! BTW.....I'm still tired.....and I'm still laughing.

-Bigchief.

 

As usual, you all rock. Great car story. I thought the go cart was in case you broke down! Thanks for another graet show and tell. Congrats on the new Olds.

 

wow! how can print media compete with content like this? now that you two are 'tag-teaming' the posts (not to mention johnny longhair), it's even better!

(i vote for getting rusty on the road, as-is)

 

Makes me look skinny between you two.

I enjoyed our weekend. Thanks for the "kitchen privileges" and we certainly appreciate the surprise in the cooler Sunday morning. Will come in handy this weekend. Thanks bud! xoxxo

 

Yeah great coverage ; words , pictures , Mud !

 

Denise, really enjoyed that ! Nice to meet you finally. Next year, I plan on being there during the daylight !

 

When you told me last week not to miss this thread, you knew then what you had up your sleeve! Here I am over a thousand miles away and you still didn't clue me in!! What a great story - great coverage. I have been avidly reading the threads and looking at the pictures of the event and have posted how I would like to make it to the Showdown some year, now you and Megan make it a necessity! Thanks for taking the time and effort to provide all this. Rusty Olds is cool and Megan, the Roadster is, well it is! "Talk" to you later. Thanks again

J.

 

Great story...always cool to follow along one of your photo-journalism posts! (Felt like being there...without getting wet!)

Rusty Olds looks cool, but MAROON? That's a great color, for sure...but RUSTY Olds oughtta be painted...you know, a RUST color!!! Ha Ha...oh well, plenty o' time for that decision to be made.

Say...how much was the red Karman Ghia (the coupe), anyway??!!

 

Hey we had a blast. It was good to meet you all. I'm not fat i'm big boned BRO!!!!!

 

If I'd known that three chicks were going to be mud wrestling I would have stayed around. Kind of looked like the tall skinny chick got whipped.

 

look`s like a blast ! great stories .

 

Jesus! I absolutely love you two.

You make the HAMB, "The HAMB"!!!

Thanks for the amazing coverage.

What can i say?

Most excellent coverage!

Megan, thanks for the flight 93 memorial coverage, too easy to forget what happened.

Any race fan that doesn't know the Hinnerschnits story needs to get some education!

Denise, congrats on Rusty Olds! I guess you had to be there for the Deville Gal birthday wish!

Thank you both for the coverage. See ypu at the H.A.M.B.drags!

Hugs,

jerry

 

I am still pissed you snaked the convert out of my HOOD..


worse yet that chris had a hand in it happening..

alas.. I used up all my good luck on the ride home



this is Tokyo posing alongside the Route 30 bypass around lancaster..

just after the scotty decided to separate from the car, at about 50 miles per hour..

luckily we were on the only area of 30 that is multi lane.. and smooth..


notice that the trailer wires, and coupler lock stayed attached.. as did the safety chains..
I am thankful for the dent in the propane tank as it saved the trailer body from hitting the car.

needless to say, I know Lancaster well, and we were at a parts store moments later, buying some parts for the coupler, and new chains to replace those that were damaged in the "event"..

the remainder of the ride home was pretty easy...

glad you got Rusty..

 

WOW, sorry to hear what happened. Glad no one or nothing got damaged.

As far as stealing Rusty Olds outta your hood....it's about time someone came in and rescued some of the stuff you folks have been hording.

Still love me though???

 

yeah...

perhaps you could squeeze another olds in the garage?


hell its already the color others are suggesting for rusty!
