Twelve Hours of Turlock Swapmeet
The Big One… the January Turlock Swapmeet. I never miss this one. Pete wanted to leave early, like ass-crack of dawn early, which I was okay with. Some plans were struck and we met at Nations before the sun rose. We didn’t leave until after the sun set. Scored some great stuff and had a fun day hanging out with my Dad and friends!! Read More →
Jimmy’s Old Car Picnic 2011
Jimmy’s Old Car Picnic fell on a Saturday this year and I wasn’t going to miss it again! My little dude Cam was my copilot, my sis Stacey and bro-in-law Jimmy met me at my house on the their way in from Sacramento, and we all met up with Norm and Stephanie at the Donut Wheel in Livermore. Getting gas in downtown Livermore, Cambo is ready to go!! “Are we there yet?” The...
Slant Six Club Bay Area 2011 Car Show
I found a Slant Six car show on Sunday that sounded like hoot, so I gathered up some friends and we too our six poppin’ Chryslers to Redwood City! Steve drove his 1964 Plymouth Valiant drop-top and I took my little daily grinder the 1967 Plymouth Valiant coupe. It was pretty quiet when we got there, but the cars kept rolling in until about 1:30 or so. This is an aluminum block...
Mopar Alley Car Show 2011
Near the beginning of every June the Mopar Alley Car Show goes on Ohlone College in Fremont. I try to never miss it, because it’s hard to find a good Mopar show locally. Here are some of my favorites from this year: Read More →
Freakin’ out the Squares! Bombin’ the A-Bone down to Santa Maria 2011
It was one of those things you decide about a month out, “Hey, lets get the Model A put back together and take it to that Santa Maria Car Show!” I’d never been to this show, it was where the West Coast Kustoms show moved after the city of Asshole Robles kicked them out, and I figured it’d be a great destination for the model A. I’ve also always wanted to follow...
Norm’s Geezer Cruise II
Norm’s Geezer Cruise II SUNDAY MARCH 27th RAIN-or-SHINE The Geezer Cruise was fun as usual, with a healthy group of cars headed up the hill just to burn some petrol. We all met up at the Donut Wheel, the formed a line and headed out! Read More →
January Turlock Swap Meet Madness 2011
At the end of every January is one of the most awesome yearly pilgrimages I and many many others make; the Turlock Swap meet. It draws people from the globe over. My Pop shows up around 7:15 and we get on our way to the show, are with hot coffee and backpacks. After finding parking and walking half a mile back to the fairgrounds, we stand in line for fifteen minnutes until we get to the...
Bryan’s 1939 Ford Engine Pull
Mopar Bryan has had a 1939 Ford factory shortbed flatbed pickup sitting in his garage for ten years now with a blown up engine… It’s a nitrous injected dual quad tunnel rammed 454 big block Chevy backed by a Richmond five speed. It’s a long sordid tale but the five minute version is he let his cousin drive it to a car show and he blew it up en route. Anywho, some of the...
Relics Rumble Car Show 2010
Hard to believe it but we’ve had this show going for 5 years now and this is the first year we take pictures, thanks to Norm, our resident 1964 Chevy Chevelle extraordinaire! The parking lot started filling up around the time our flyer said the show started and it was great to see lots of friends we don’t see too often any more. Read More →
