Art & Inspiration The run to Northwest Deuce Days and Beyond!!

George.......
The Silver 32,
It was a Gong Show at Staging..... Man there was a ton of Cars there.
Pulled up to a Red Light in Victoria this AM...... Guy to the left of me yells...... What Color is your Car?
I said "Silver" ........ He looks at me for a moment and then we both start laughing...... I have no Phuking clue what color Silver this thing is but it was a fun moment!

 

I'd heard they had limited the poker run to 400 cars, there was a damn site more than that down there!

 

It was Rockin!
Way more than 400 I would say.....
It was a Fabulous Gathering out on the Ocean Point Park for sure!

 

Nope not me. I am in mission this weekend for the drags. Couldn't get away for the whole weekend so snuck down today for the day to get my nitro funny car fix!! Wish I was there with you guys!! Keep the pics coming and have fun!!

 

If any of you remember going down Ash Rd. hill just before Mt. Douglas Park (the cars were backed up some waiting to go thru the park) and remember passing a guy on your left walking two black Scottie dogs, that was me. We got lots of comments and thumbs up from lots of the drivers and just about all of the lady shotgun riders! I've seen just about all the cars every time Deuce Days has been run from my side driveway. A distinct advantage over the static display on Sunday 'cause I get to hear 'em all too!! Regards, Dave.

 

Hey 3 window I ate lunch with Bruce today. He didn't know it and I didn't bug him but we were at the same table. He seems to be the gentleman and genuine guy I have always heard he is. I saw your 3 window safely tucked away in the host hotel garage tonight. Here are some pictures so I can say it happened.

A dream garage!


There you go!

 

I gotta try to get a better shot of your car today, the first one I took was in the dark, it's a little out of focus.

 

There's a blue camaro convert around, I saw it again last night, thought maybe it was yours.
Edit: I looked in your album again, it's REALLY close to your car, just a little lighter colour.

 

That could be John from the Old Car Centre, he has one like that. Could be a donor car for his next project?

 

B-bob, I think I saw and photographed your car last night, but with the wheel change, I didnt realize it was yours. Looks good.

 

Here's a link to the Northwest Deuce Days very early in the morning - like 0600. By 1000 you could notwalk down the street there was sooooooooooo many people looking at the cars.

Tomorrow, Monday is a bit of a day of rest and Roadster maintenance. Then in the evening we are off to a surprise party for one of our Curmudgeons !!!

 

Rog the first day was around 650 miles and the second was about 500. Third was about 300.

 

Here's a pic of the 3 window Larry wants to see. It was parked on the lawn of the Empress Hotel. Only 20 cars that were selected by Al Clark got to park on the lawn.

 

George, that wasn't mine. Mine is at home . But it would be interesting to see the pic anyway. DD is a little rich for me to go. But thanks for trying.

 

Wow, looks like you guy's are having a Ball and it looks like one hell of a Hot Rod run, keep sending pic's, LOL

 

Fuzzy, we were a couple tables over from you on the ferry back, but you had company, so I didn't say hi. Nice seeing you again down at Clover Point.

 

b-bob, The car I was looking at was a '32 cabriolet. Funny, almost the same colour as your car, and orange wheels. Had a 4 deuce flathead in it.

 

The BBQ before we set out for our trip around Canada.

none of your facebook links work!

 

Larry, I think you probably have to be on Facebook, they didn't work for me either.

 

This morning we left Abbetsford in Canada and drove to Vernon in Canada.

 

Here we are waiting for the road to open.

 

Here we are in Yale Ca. Where we all regrouped after our drive down the freeway/

 

My brother used to live in Vernon, nice area. I take it you guys will be going via Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and Golden? That is a BEAUTIFUL trip. I camped in Field, BIG grizzly bears around there! You guys should make a stop in Field, its really beautiful.

 

AWESOME! I have been stopping at Barry's for ice cream since the sixties!! COOL! Man, the scenery is gonna blow you away.
I see the Austin there, is Cliff Green with you guys?
Before I got married, I used to go that way up to 100 mile to go fly fishing. We used to go to Ashcroft a lot too, Nice country, BC's desert.

 

It looks like a great road trip route.......other than the road construction. I thought it was only me that could find road construction. Drive safe and enjoy the scenery

 

Today we went from Vernon Ca. to Wenatchee Wa.
We did a few stops along the way.
First stop was to Dale Gerry's custom shop. Winner of This years or last years Riddler award. Here is a pic of his hauler.

 

Next we went to JF's custom shop. A winner of 4 Riddler awards.
