I'm headed up tonight. Dann and I will show up together.

Where's K Mart? Auburn? If so, that's backtracking for us (but not far).

K mart is in Grass Valley, you cant miss it.

I can't wait!!

K-mart in Grass Valley is off the McKnight Way/South Auburn St. exit. It is the first exit as you enter Grass Valley on 49. At the off ramp make a left over the freeway and K-mart will be on the left hand side.

All right.. leaving the house.. see you all there!

Fail!!! Sorry guys but the wind is way too much for my allergies.

What a GREAT show... I really wish more of you could have made it. LOTS of people up and down the streets... we meet a lot of new potential members.

Weather was good, company was good and the goodie bag they gave us wasn't bad either!


Here is a few pics:



Here is a bug straight from heaven...."AWWWWW"



Here is the gang:





I know the others got some great pics also, so stay tuned for more!

See what a little touch up and good lighting can do?
My people have been aware for years.

I've been laid up with a bad back. Would have liked to join you.

It really was a great time. We had a lot of laughs and it was great getting to know everyone better. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

...and all of the cars drew surprising amounts of interest and photographs.
Brads car pulled tons of sentiment and questions about it's ambiguous year of manufacture.
Cliff's car was unique at the show, being the only car of a more organic, gritty nature.
...and of course the usual smiles and comments on Herbies.

Dann and I did learn a valuable factoid from a well informed passer who told his wife that difference between a '60 and a '63 is the width of the wheels - because of course we all know wheels can't be changed.

IT'S TRUE!!!! I have a 68 and you should see how wide the tires are now!

I'll bet the 1998 mexi looks like a steamroller.

Actually, they all start wide and there's a phenomenon known as "magical dumbass know-it-all husband mystery shrinkage" that occurs to make married men feel superior.
