Event Coverage Late Coverage - 2016 LA Roadster Show

Back in June, Tania and I attended the 52nd LA Roadster Show in Pomona, CA and were kindly offered the use of Joe Mitchell's 32 for the So Cal and Walden Open Houses and the Roadster Show itself. This is the third LA Roadster Show I've attended and I wish I had attended more in the past.


We arrived from NZ a few days before the show with my parents, Ian Taylor and met Kevin Saran down from Canada. First stop Early Ford Store....


Was great to meet with Peter Vincent - a Facebook friend and I've always admired his work and enjoyed his books


Then on to the NHRA Museum


We checked into the show before heading to the open houses. It was great to see Andy and the Brizio family again.




More to follow .......

Going to overseas events is an absolute dream for us from New Zealand but to attend in a car is something else so many many thanks to Joe.

Next up - SO CAL Open House


Thanks to Pete Chapouris for our parking spot at SO CAL too

Greg
This is a book that can't be put down, no matter how many times I open it, had it many years, one of my favorites.



Wow, you two know how to have a good time, some of your best coverage to date.
BTW, I want friends like yours.

Great pics thanks for sharing

 

Is Southern California really so full of nice traditional cars, or that just an illusion?

 

Greg, neat shots, glad U enjoyed the trip, we go over every year from Aussie, I see U had a Lake Havasu shirt on , I had one on also and we did not see each other. Did U meet Dick Raczuk in trade hall, he organised the run, we met Dick at his home in Lake Havasu, nice guy
