We took the Es*** out for it's first long cruise yesterday and hit two separate shows. The truck ran fine with no problems whatsoever. Must have been all the spare parts and tools I brought along, hehe. First show was the South Beach Casino show up near Grand Beach, Manitoba. Pretty decent event! Everything was free...registration, t-shirt, meals, etc., plus they gave away a bunch of money as door prizes. Even better was the fact my wife won $225 on the nickel slots while we were there. Here's some pics of the more "HAMB-friendly" cars that were there.
After that show was finished we headed back to Winnipeg for the season opener "Pony Corral Cruise Night". I met up with the friend that I bought the Es*** from and we cruised in together. He brought out the '67 GTX that he's owned for 32 years. Kinda cool seeing the two cars parked together again.
Looks like you had a good trip! Glad to hear you ran problem free. I didn't make it to The Pony until around 9ish....my parents drove into the city for a BBQ. But it's just the start of the season...
Yeah, it was a great trip. Lots of cool rides in this province. Sorry we missed you. We left the Pony early as we wanted to get home before it got too late. I wasn't sure how well the lights were going to work, LOL. Thanks Terry! We had a blast with it. We're looking forward ot the rest of the summer. Thanks! Yeah, the coupe looks a little odd. The front end is a little off for my liking, but it has a ton of cool details that make up for it. We have incredibly ****ty roads up here. Besides...look at your sig.
