Event Coverage Michigan World of Wheels, Brich Run. Who's going?

Nice weather, guys! Partly sunny each day with no chance of rain. High temps are 48 F on Friday, 57 F on Saurday, and 59 F on Sunday. - Rick "Gaidica".

P.S. Thanks for the heads-up, gooseta2! See ya'll there!

 

BTW, most of you probably know of Tony's restaurant on the north side of Birch Run road, just west of I-75...but for those of you who don't, they have the largest servings you've ever seen. BLT uses 1 lb of bacon! The food aint bad. I imagine it's gonna be packed though. Usually is on weekends anyway. - Rick

 

I dont know about the hotrod there pete. The cold, bah thats nothing. Its pretty well packed away. Mom wanted to fit her fullsize in the garage. Motorcycle, trike, and hotrod pack in pretty tight in half a 2 car garage. Still gotta see whats going on, but sounds like something to get out of the house.

 

i was up there last night . nice place, they said there will be atleast 125 cars in the show .

 

Pete,
A late breakfast at the Exit sounds good. How about 9:30??

 

Hey Frank,
Al Bergler will be there with his "More Aggravation". He set up on Wednesday evening...........Mike

 

Sounds good Mike. Are you going to venture up north and join us in the big city of Birch Run?

Frank

 

No, I've not been feeling well lately.......I've only had my cars out 3 times this summer.

 

Don't bother, that sounds like a lot of work. I'll come down with the trailer and get it out of your way then you can spend the winter building that Model A that you know you really want. I meant it when I told you I wanted to buy it. Besides I haven't been involved in any charity work lately.

Frank

 

just heard this show advertised on the radio last night..never heard of it before, but I'll be their for sure...thinking bout heading out their tonight

 

I might go on sunday with a couple Street Freaks

 

going sat after work.to check out the pro street cl***,doing a car for a buddy.67 chevy II blowen bbc

 

Well,

Can ya'all take some pictures and post them ?,... I will be stuck at home recovering from pneumonia,.......

 

Got two sick girls at home and Jenny has to work. Guess I'll stay home. ANyone wanna drive my Caddy up? Lemme know....I can prolly make it happen.

 

First time I've heard of this show. Can't make it this year but will plan for it next year...

 

Count me in! I'll be putting a dent in the buffet at the exit restuarant with Rich & Frank Saturday morning before the show. I'll try to get a discounted price at the restaurant by telling them that I'm Frank's illegitamate 12 yr. old child

 

They know better, they see you walk in and they're going to charge you double for the HUGE dent you make.

 

if this show is like the bike show then it should **** and 12 bucks a head to get in is pretty high for my taste its close to me but ill p***..

i friend is set up in side with some of my gas stuff in his booth .
he said venders were low he wanted a 10x20 and they gave him 20 x40 and said can you fill it up ? so makes me wonder ?

Great pics! I see a couple of concours rare super duty Pontiacs from the Detroit area. I grew up near Gratiot Auto on Detroit's East side, always good to see their cars.

I'm already in seasonal withdrawal so maybe it's the place to be on Saturday nite?

 

I went Friday nite. I wondered why there were more cars inside than there were outside. After I paid $24 for wifey and me and a short visit I could see why. There were some truly gorgeous cars there, I could appreciate the work done to all. But I think $12 a pop was a bit steep. Best part of the nite was eating at Tony's. NO DISAPOINTMENT there!

 

Yep...looks pretty lame.

 

I went, had a great time. Nice to meet Fritz too! Here's a link to a few pics i took.

Bob

Rich, great pics!

 

thanks Bob,
yours where great as well.
Nice day for the car show outside!

 

Hey guys,.... thanks for posting the links to the pictures, I am still house bound, but hope to get out this week,..

 

the weather was just to nice outside to be inside .if it had been cold and rainy or snowing the attendance would have been up i think.
one thing i know for sure cobo hall emptys faster than this place.the show was over at 615pm and some guys took for ever . couldn't get the "DYNAMAT" truck out till 830pm made it along late night
this show has a lot of potental we had fun and plan on going next year! needs more HAMB frenly cars!!

 

Great Shots Rich! The shots that you took of my '70 Judge put my attempt to shame. I really appreciate having some quality pictures! We're in for Detroit - hope that you come and take a bunch more.
