Well, I'm finally in Colorado! What to do?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by 40panel348, Sep 3, 2008.

  1. Well, I'm starting to settle in now that I moved most of my crap to Colorado. I have a great job working with the wonderful guys at Custom Auto. I miss Lou and the guys at The Old Stillwater Garage. I still have a bajillion boxes to unpack, and I have some parts and 5 cars still in NJ, but I have a house of my own that was built in '55, and was renovated, but still looks old style. I drove the Edselero here, what a trip that was!

    Anyway, what kind of car stuff is going on around here? I know that summer is about shot in the ass, but I have only found one cruise night so far. I missed the Backstreet Kustom's show last weekend, which sucks, but there's always next year! Are there any good shows left this year?
    Thanks guys!

    Welcome to Colorado, so your working for "Super Dave". He always has some pretty cool project going. Dustin & Jake are cool, you'll have a good time in Lovleyland for sure. Not really car related but this saturday in Ft. Collins is New Belgiums Brewing Company's "Tour De Fat". It's like Mardi Gras on bicycles, gets pretty crazy,thousands of bikes along with beer, music, & some nudity, shit man, other than cars, you can't go wrong.

    First thing ya gotta do is go to the local liquor store and pick up some of that killer micro brew here. Kick back and enjoy a few awesome sunsets over the mountains. Thats how I enjoyed my first few days of relocation from AZ.

    Welcome...Super Cruise!
     
  23. Curt,

    Glad you're here, I bet the Edselero cruise with no overdrive was a dream come true ! Missed you at the Concours and Paint & Primer last weekend but I know are a busy boy with the move.

    Plenty do in Colorado, lots of it seasonal (most of it in my country), will keep you posted as things come up. Laura and I get to the front range quite often for events.

    Don't forget to ask Jake for a "Yenny Roadster" shirt when the time is right. Make sure you do it in front of Rex.

    Later, Johnnie.

  27. Thanks, Guys! I love it out here! The weather, the people, the cars............ I think I'm going to try and make the super cruise. It's not too far, since I haven't found an overdrive solenoid for the Edselero yet, I can cruise down in third gear! Hopefully I will get to meet some of you.
