A most Excelent Tuesday Evening
Kate and I went up to "Downtown Roseville Tuesday nights" tonight. It's about a 35 mile drive. They have a street faire, farmers market and car show. Pretty low key, free entry, they had about 100 cars show up. I ended up parked with a home built 36 Plymouth 3 Window with a blown 354 hemi, a slightly rough 53 Stude pick up with a 500 inch Caddy and a complete Jaguar suspension and a 65 Olds Cutless all original with a 320 hp 330 Olds rocket. Dummie me did not bring a camera! I put $10 in the 50-50 and Kate and I settled back for some good conversation with the others there, walked around the market, and had an excellent tri-tip sandwich. Weather was perfect with a nice breeze and we had shade. Couldn't be better! Stu Cool is getting lots of attention and I get to talk with a lot of folks, then one of the merchants comes to me and says "I picked yours." He was one of three who got to pick an award recipient, so Kate and I got to go up and get a plaque at the awards presentation. Then 20 minutes later they draw the 50-50 and a little girl picks one of my tickets! So now we have a plaque and $40. Covers gas and dinner plus some left! Then on the way home I spot an Exxon station with premium for $3.22, so I had to stop and tank up, I have been paying $3.40 or more. So that caps off the evening, what a nice night!
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
