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

and it is right up my alley.....topless

 

Tokyo needs to ride on the propane tank next time. Glad you did'nt "Clark it"

 

me too!

I was darn lucky that I mounted one of those fancy "fold away" tongue jacks on the front of the trailer. the stock tongue jack would have certainly bit into the highway and played heck with the situation..

the flange around the trailer coupler was so hot it was smoking when we stopped!

 

.......ditto.......excellent coverage. Thanks!

 

Awesome post as usual, thanks Denise. I think I have to put the Showdown on my to do list next year.

 

Denise, Megan, one of the best travel-threads from you 2 yet! Thanks.

 

This post has it all. Ultimate hot chick mud wrestling too. Thanks!

 

Remember back when Big Olds WAS painted red... good times....

 

GREAT pics and story! I was laughing so hard listening to you giggling in the video going through the mud!!

 

" Enjoy this trip , because it is a trip "

Thankyou for your obsessive/compulsive scrapbooking girls !

 

Excellent running dialogue & pictures.
Seems like I just met tons of HAMERS' in 'person'.
The world is in a far better place, than is reported everyday in the papers..
This one thread proves it..
Excellent , excellent,...

Thanks for the excelent post you two!

Congrats on the new ride Denise, I keep buying the same car over and over too...

 

WOW! That sucks sawzall.

 

great thread - I wish somebody could have taken some pictures though. That track looks like a blast. Nice Roadster too. Wow.

 

Looks like a great find. Philly blows, and it looks like you were in one of the many hoods that crappy city has to offer.

 

Denise,
Congrats! I saw the car in some earlier post and thought it was the same one you showed me pics of, but I didn't want to "let the cat out of the bag". Great coverage - A big thanks to you and Meagan.

Is it just me, or does it seem like everyone around Denis and Megan is having the time of thier lives? Gotta be sheer coincidence right?
The mud wrastlin was fucking priceless, I'm glad I took a piss break right before that. Looks like you've got some tough decisions ahead of you Denis, lucky girl. A million thanks to Thelma and Louise for another great write-up. I had all the fun with no mess......wait, that is all the fun, damn it, I should have gone

 

Thanks for the show coverage, it's the only way I really get to see what happens at my show! Jeff, tell Lulabelle about how your safety chains worked for you...PLEASE, and then remind him I talked to him about chains. Well, the HAMB coverage overall proves I have the only show in the country that cant get blown out by rain! BTW this was only the second in six years that we had any real rain, We got by fine, I just hope everyone does not remember the place as a big mud hole! Well remember it that way a little! Thanks again for making the long trip and the great photos.

 

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the story. I've got a summer full of adventures like this planned so stay tuned and I do believe Louise will be making most of them.

You get it

and next year I want to stop by and see them.

and would you believe this is the edited version? I actually took about twice this many.

Yeah, and do you remember reading the comment from Aaron51Chevy (local pal) who made the comment about "I bet Denise was all over that Olds"? He had no clue, really most of my pals didn't. I was so excited about Rusty Olds I just had to show my TX pals the photos when I was there.

There is always next year but be forewarned, the event is so cool it will be on your "must do" list every year.

 

Good to finally meet you, Denise!

I've been waiting for your trip and show report ... wow, now that's a report!

Sawzall Jeff and Tokyo -- glad everything worked out OK with your trailer. Holy cow, that could have been a mess.

 

I can't believe you posted so many pictures of me eating Thelma!

The pics don't lie, we had a GREAT time!

And ya Larry, that is we said. What other car show can be such a success in the rain?

 

great adventure. you tell it well. i'd be driving my truck aroud that dirt track just as fast as it would go. that looks like a lot of fun.

 

Hey Denise- great meeting you and Scott! Thanks for including us, best of luck with the new Olds and see ya next time!

Holy shit I am going to miss my deadline at work be cause your documentation is so good. I should have known not to get started in a HotrodLadyCruiser thread unless I amnot at work or have nothing to do. Very cool trip and nice find on that Rusty Olds!

 

What a trip!! I just read the whole thing; feels like I just read through 10 years of early rod magazines, watched "Thelma and Louise" and "Spirit of St Louis" simultaneously, and relived half my childhood!
This isn't a post, it's epic poetry!

 

Well, at least you weren't eating barbecue for every meal!

Thanks, Megan & Denise - see ya next weekend!

I gotta give congrats to both of you Ladies for your threads, excellent reading. You've also got the knack of putting names to faces and cars. Chevsotolac and I spent the most of the day vending and didn't get to roam around till later. So reading all the threads sort of makes up for what we missed. Denise, great find on Rusty Olds, I'm sure everybody will be waiting for updates. My first showdown and I know it won't be my last. But next time I have to make sure not to leave till after the mud wrestling. Jeff

 

Thanks for the great show coverage! I'm always amazed that you can remember so many HAMBers.

Glad things worked out OK for you, too Sawzall!

 

Great Find HRLC!
and it looks like a Great Time was had by all.
so....what R your plans for Mr. rusty?
