AMBR pick causes controversy

Crap...yer right..... and add a ®

World domination is only the BEGINNING...........

 

Is it grouse season yet? I have an ammo box full of 12 ga. to burn off.....

 

Kinda funny seeing the HAMB referred to as the "other board".
There are other boards out there?

Flatman

 

I would like to thank the poeple at Hemmings,(which I do look through for parts), for not using the term "rat rod".

 

this is as it should be

 

right on!!

 

Not that count.


Other than the RRT wich is full of good folks.

 

It is somewhat ironic that a HAMB friendly car is more likely to win at Prebble Beach than at a major Hot Rod Show.

 

if you want to award a car based on building skills and craftsmanship and other criteria, then call it that. don't call it americas most beautiful roadster. the 2 seldom ever go hand in hand.

maybe the show should switch the name of the award to most fancy roadster and let us pick the most beautiful one.

 

OK....Who ratted us out ? Way to go Boss your famous once again !

 

i might be wrong (dont say a word paul@xntric) but isnt that strohl geezer that wrote that the same guy who had the website about modifieds about 5 years ago on here

 

yes

 

Hemmings left out one of the best lines in Ryan's article

"On Sunday, the award will be presented shortly before we run like hell for the border."

Gary

 

when I read that, all I could picture was Ryan riding in on a black horse, sumbrerow around his neck blasting his 6-shooter in the air, packing a trophy in his saddle-bag....

but since I have no idea what Ryan looks like... I just pictured him as Clint Eastwood

 

This Grouse?

 

Sweet!

 

Actually more like a tall Pancho Villa minus the 'stache.

 

HAHAHAHA. I think he is a Grouch not a grouse.

 

Or America's Most Purpose-Built, Trophy-Gathering, Taste-be-Damned, "Pro" Built, Roadster-like Car ????

That'll be more like it...

 

damn his eyes!!!!!!

 

The downside of all this is that clients will now attempt to buy taste, ricadudolous!
Can of worms, this here's the slippery slope.

 

EXACTLY!

TRUE TRUE!

 

The author of the above mentioned article is a very well liked and respected member here on the HAMB. In fact he was just here for dinner at my house a couple of weeks ago while he was in town doing another article.

 

Maybe it's not too late to get the A.M.B.R.'s prestige back. If a number of awards are given out, say The B.O.T.B.B. (Best One That Boyd Built) or the B.O.T.F.B. (Best One That Foose Built) etc., then "everyone else" will be horse-blinded-happy and the trophy can then be RIGHTEOUS once more.

 

The mouse roared and people are listening. Well done.

 

Well damned if you aren't right. Does this mean I have to acquire a taste for caviar?

 

our goal should be to pick 'America's best roadster' or 'America's traditional inspired roadster'.. or just plain 'Best Roadster'

 

And he is fairly young, not geezeresque yet.

 

Young and HOT
