Thanks To All Who Attended Viva Las Vegas 2006 !

Thanks for everything Alex. Great show as usual...

 

Axle,

We were the "Canada Customs and Hot Rods" group from Vancouver Canada, and we had the time of our lives. We ran into a few obstacles on our way down (axle bearing) that turned it into a 41 hour trip and snow on the way home (37 hours), but it was worth it. You put on a great show, and we will be back next year with some new rides.
Thanks for fitting us in on such short notice, see you again next year!!

This was the first year for Lil' Redhead Girl and I. We have been planning this vacation for over 2 years. Bitchin rendesvou spot for her and I. (D.C. and Orlando respectivley)
Did any two women have the same outfit on They all looked good enough to eat!!

Car show was Badd Ass, "Red" was such a good sport and even commented on her favorite car as "The Pink One".

Music was all top shelf entertainment, Sunday dance contest was too much fun. Burlesque show a real HOOT!

We met a shit-load of friendly people, so glad we came. See ya' all next year, make your resurvations early.

No, that's a fella by the name of Jamison out of the Denver area, I'm sure he was hatin' it worse than me being in an open car. We were in a Dark Green 5-window Deuce and got of I-70 to hit the side roads in Grand Junction.

thanks, Axle, it was a blast, even if I threw a rod in my flathead and couldnt finish driving the whole way.

 

Sorry to have missed it this year with the coupe, but sounded like a blast and glad it went well! Just gives me an incentive to make it next year with my fellow car mates and buddies from the RZ club. And yes, Nacho is a ruler and his Tiki creation is amazing Guido is always a friendly good time!
Great job for pulling yet another successful Carshow/event in Vegas.
see ya next year!
blessings,
CAB

Thats the truth. It went by way too fast. I didn't get to see everything, but I saw enough to make it worthwhile!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

 

I just stumbled on this one on the VLV site. It definitely kicks ass!

 

Axle - just wanted to drop you & the shifters a huge thank you for having us Canadians at your outstanding show. I love the way you guys do it AMERICAN style. Well worth every hour of the drive. Reading about it in magazines is one thing but being at the scene & doi'n it is where its at.I had a chance to meet many great people over the course of the weekend - Squeak Bell , Tom Branch , the guys from Reno parked next to us , Bo Huff . The Road Zombies , The Throttlers & many more. Thanks again & see you next year Laurie

I know for a fact me and ol' brian lee had a great time- and I think so did the '59 caddy (cause it stuck around to see it all this time- haha!) Thanks for putting on one of the best shows all year!

 

if you read my roadtrip story on another thread it might seem like i didn't have much fun but i have been looking forward to this show for the last year and a half and 6 of us from medford all had the same goal this year, "viva or bust". we did it, and will have stories to brag about for years. i posted some pics on www.vivalasvegas.net they should be on the first page, "oregon breakdown crew, the aces, sled, caddy,dudes pickin up dudes, and my wife is gonna be so mad.

 

Thanks Axle. Had a good time, both driving out with the Road Zombies & San Jose crew, as well as at the show.
