Event Coverage Done and in the Sun Tour 2008....Big Olds does Speed Week

Great post as always! So much work! Thanks.

Oh yeah and thanks for the drunk dials....

 

Terrific pics Denise! There is nothing like being on the salt in Bonneville. Can't wait till we get the truck ready to go again ourselves.

Since you're done posting pics, it's time to say thank you for taking us along. So... Thanks!!!

 

Very nicely done and I thanks you a lot!

 

Very good post and coverage. Thank you doll..........

 

I'm thrilled you guys are enjoying the coverage. I really enjoy taking the photos and writing the adventures for you.

One of the Kiwi guys had a professional camera with a wide angle lens. He showe dme the photo of the group shot he took. I'm just waiting for his to send to my email then I will post it.

From your mouth to "someone's" ears.

Part of my enjoyment is introducing myself to people, chatting and taking photos of them so I find it very easy to do. The uploading and writing is the time consuming part.

Unless plans change I know for a fact I will not be going next year. I'm using my limited vacation time and going to New Zealand for the Beach Hop. If that falls thru, planB would be a three week adventure out to the Pacific Northwest in Big Olds.

From your lips to their ears. One of these days, one of these days.

It's funny cuz Megan and I were brainstorming about having a webcam in Big Olds then one on each of our hats of something with a live feed......now wouldn't that be interesting.

You guys really have no clue how many photos are edited out of these adventures.

I know it wasn't you cuz you've never shown me your boobs

yep, and days to write....all for the love of the HAMB

You look at it one way and I look at it like I missed remembering a half dozen guys names and I feel bad because of it.

Congrats on the run.
I didn't know what car you would with . Those that mentioned a car number in the roll call post prior to leaving I made a written note of. I didn't have any car number next to your name on my list. Sorry bud. I would have gladly looked for you and stopped to say hi.

Of course YOU would notice that

Now you tell me....

 

HRLC, That's it, now youv've done it. My eyes hurt, I can barely see the screen.

Thanks for the great adventure, again.

This thread pushed me over the edge. We're makin plans for next year. Four of us old farts are gonna cruise out. In a non HAMB car so we can go non-stop from Joisey.

Frank

 

Thank You.

My God, what a great lot of pics and what a great bunch of cars and people!

What else can I say...

I want to make this trip SO bad and it was unbelievably cool to read about your experience and see the pictures.

THANKS a million for posting!!!

PS: I enjoyed meeting you at the Road Rocket Rumble! If you like, you can see the rest of the '08 Rumble pics in the Car Show folder in my Fotki link below. C-ya!

Thank-you so much for the kind words. I smile anytime you're close, Denise. You have a way about you. Wow, what a week huh? Was super nice to meet you two. sheez,,, you girls, Fun Fun Fun !!! Next year we do it again. Can we outdo ourselves? Hummm. Good question. I sure like the thought of trying. Got a year to think of how. Starting NOW! Brian

 

Living the hot rod life thru you again!! I love it!! What a great summer seeing you guys at so many events and at my junk palace in Omaha, thanx for flying my store colors on the T-Shirt from Retro Rocket. I thought it was cool you spelled out HAMB with the letters in the shoppe in the Old Market in Omaha. All the rest of the trip is documented so great. The videos are priceless and really takes us to the event. Thanks to you Megan and Malcolm for all the cheap thrills!! Love Ya!!-Larry/Sololobo

 

Great to finally meet you Denise! Such a classic that we met in the queue for the BBQ... it was fantastic to share dinner with you... Shame we couldn't cruise as planned - but that is life.

Here is a photo of your Olds and our 60 Olds Super 88 and the end of the road...



See you in NZ in 2009 - Beach Hop 26-29 March 2009!

Denise,
Glad to see you're back in the photo/essay business. GREAT pics, as usual. Looks like you've been having a fun summer.................Woody

 

Thanks Denise, I was starting to miss you and Megan's adventure posts. I promised myself I will someday get to Bonneville, but not until I can drive my roadster on the salt.

 

Thank You, for sharing the great adventures of Megan and yourself. Your threads,really portray the personal side,to this wonderful hobby. Having travelled many miles,with various race teams,i really miss the people along the way. Your adventures,sure put a smile on my face, a rare commodity lately. We've never met in person,but I cherish the long distance friendships that are developed through the HAMB,especially yours.

 

Thanks for the great coverage. We're glad to hear that our insulation passed the "Gummy Bear" test. I guess Megan will have to find another place to melt them

 

Awesome coverage as always Denise. I almost felt like I was there.

 

Denise it was good meeting you, keep up the great event coverage.

Awesome coverage as always Denise.
It was great to finally meet you and Megan, and I'm glad we got to hang out a little.
Thanks for all the "incriminating" photos, now my squeeky clean image is shot all to hell!
Brett

 

Thanks, Denise. Looking and reading thru these was awesome. Felt like I was there.

 

Wow Denise, what a great photo essay, make one feel like they were there!!

It's a trip on my bucket list, for sure. Hope to meet you one of these days, you sure know how to live and have fun doing it.

 

Denise, thanks for the post. The only regret I had about the whole trip was I didn't know where to meet up with anyone from the HAMB. I found the tent by mistake as I was heading out of the pits on my way HOME! If I had known, I would have had even more fun!!!

Next year then! I am already plannin' the trip.

Great coverage, thanks for taking the time to post. As always, I feel as if I was there.

 

Wow, awesome coverage Denise. I always enjoy reading your travelogues.

Thanks for taking care of my SFCC brother Brett (and thanks for the nice comments about the hats I painted), he had all sorts of interesting things to say about you and Megan when I saw him at Dixie Fried.

Maybe next year.

 

Denise, it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope your planned trip to the Beach Hop works out next year.
We have just arrived back in NZ today after another great time in the States.
Russell.
