YES ...
Aleady met BobK out riding around in his Chevy
The wife and I had the 32 roadster out ......
Weathet is GREAT ... but they are calling for 60% chance of scattered showers on Wednesday.

 

One of my buds is leaving this AM for the show... sure wish I was going. And I sure hope we can get some daily updates and BIG photo dumps! Gary

 

all set up yesterday in about 45 minutes, then got our new products set up today. Looks like a great show from a vendor standpoint... lots of neat cars inside, a sweet bike with a front airbag cantilever setup, and a huge Gibson guitar display!

Anyone see the tractor trailer jack knifed on the highway? crazy.

 

i am here and set up look out for me in the Phipps booth across from Bee-Bops...i will look for as many of you guys as i can remember.....

 

OK where is the meet and greet?I've got the 1:00 pm time,but what hill are you talking about?

 

Frank O and I will be there tomorrow and saturday. I hope to be able to post photos friday late, maybe. Depends what trouble we get into after the friday show.

 

Been here since yesterday morning.. We got in line at for the Swap spaces at 10:00, we got in around 11:30. I was stoked at the spots we got! Real good and close to the front.. then the day went on, and it didn't fill up any more!

I was in line at 6:05 am this morning to get in there and unload my shit. By 8o I was unloaded and HOPING that it was gonna fill up more.. It didn't.

The good news is I sold a ton af parts! The bad news is, the swap's size is way down.

I went in the building for a bit.. It didn't look busy either. I know its only Thurs. but it usually better than this.

I'm not saying its a bad car show, I was #8610!! (The Street Rod Nats WEST pulls maybe HALF THAT)

But, its #'s are down for right now.

I'm Hopping that a bunch of penny pinchers don't wanna pay for an extra night in the Hotel and are planning on comming down tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday for the car drawing.

We'll see!! In the mean time, I'm in the swap selling my ass off!

Good to see a few of you today.

Just arrived here in Louisville.
Days inn on fern Valley.
Where is the action tonight?

 

Well, it also rained too, i am just 150 miles away. So i think tha had a lot to do with it too. Tomorrow should pick up. I am going to be there.

 

Well, Moms surgery was a success, My number 1 child is down in his back, My number 2 child is recovering from his wisdom...teeth being removed, My number 3 child is recovering from having a nerve and tendon repaired from his life lesson number 14 about pocketknives, and I am truly thankful for a compatent dentist today myself....but I will be there on Saturday Dolly or no Dolly Oh and if anyone needs to buy a dual axle big tex trailer to take your toys home with let me know.

 

Good point.. Today was okay.

I can't really complain about anything, attendance, swapers, cars.. nothing... Because we did REALLY good in the swap meet!

So,, if it was only a little amount of people, WHO CARES!! It was the RIGHT people!!


Good seeing and meeting a few of you today as well.

Yeah i am here, but didn't get a chance to go into the swap meet area yet, but will tomorrow. Sort of surprised that this year ALL the vendors are inside. Also we noticed not that many people, but a whole lot of cars.

 

Just got home from Louisville ..man was it hot.10,757 cars so the gas prices didn't slow too many down.Had some front brake problems with the Olds and got some great help at the Fern Valley Roar Holiday Inn.Ran into some old friends and met some new ones.Looked for the HAMB tent on the hill but must have missed it.The one thing I did notice was the number of young people driving and just hanging out,but then I guess everyone is young to me.

 

yeah its ok, just wanted to look it up.it's the kind of car that i like to look at.HOT ROD. had a great time,weather wasn't bad, 10.000 cars, a whole bunch of vendors inside,and like josh said,pretty small swap meet,but all in all pretty damn good week/end.jmho

 

So that was you in the white car, I was gonna limp on down to offer my verbal support but it didn't take you and my bud John long to get the job done. I stuck pretty close to my car at the hotel, gotta get this damn hip fixed.

I agree though, It was a great show, every Mfgr was there and you can talk to them direct. Lots of neat cars, great folks to talk with. One of the best show there is.

Too bad we didn't get to talk.

BB

 

Was that you with the Chevy drop top giving my buddie hell for letting all the Bud cans fly outtta the open trunk?Oh yeah,that guy John...one fine dude!

 

Yep that was me, the original non litterer (is that a word). And also the original Grumpy Old Man.
