Car Show Today
 

Today Linda my wife and I took our cars to a local car show. It was mostly customs and low riders but well attended and we had a good day.
Both cars drew a lot of attention as they were quite different from the other entrants. I didn't win anything but Linda took a 1st with the John Cooper Works.

Cool! Congrats.
The guys in the background seem to like your car!

Ya, I had people all day asking about it.

I hear ya there!
I accidently ended up in a car show in the summer and I bet I talked to 200 people!
It was where I had the one guy telling his buddies it was the new "Porsche Scorpion".
One Mustang dude was getting pissed cuz' I was getting more attention then he was. He told me I didn't belong there because my car was too new (as opposed to his 5 year old, bone stock GT).

Have anymore pictures of the FRS? It looks mean.

Yes,

Ahh, Good old Mustangs. Last time I ran Oregon Raceway Park Labor Day weekend I lapped a New Boss 302. New Mustangs are a dime a dozen, and even though I'm a Ford Fan, I just don't like the new Mustangs. Our cars just have a good look to them, add some wheels, drop it a bit, add a wing and it atracts people like flys to a cow pie!
Today was a good day, nothing but complements.

Holy crap how did I miss that thread before!?
Awesome work!!!!!
Many thanks for showing the young crowd that us "older" guys are not the V8 fixated fossils they sometimes think we are!
Makes me sad I don't have a place (and to be honest, the skills) to do the custom work you do. Loved that home made diffuser.

Thanks for the complements Tocat. This "Older Guy" just turned 65 and I'm still going strong. Most of the young crowd I talk to don't have a clue how to really build or drive a car. It's all show and no go for most of them. I've been a hot-rodder all my life. The word "Stock" in not in my vocabulary. I've even hot-rodded my diesel pusher motorhome. BG.

congrats

You have a few years on me but I have been there too!
I must admit that some of the new aspects are beyond me (i.e. ECU tuning) and I do sometimes miss the satisfaction of hitting that spot on timing by turning the distributer by hand until you hear the perfect sound.
The days of changing a fuel pump with the spare in the glovebox (cuz' you knew it was only going to last 500 miles) on the side of the road are long gone and when you had a problem you figured it out. There was none of this "I have a squeak under the hood what is it" crap!

Yup, the days of duct tape and bailing wire are over.

First I've seen your FR-S build thread. Sensational! Hope to meet you at ORP next year. Don't know for sure what I'll be in, but after my first and only visit last year want to try running CCW.

As much as I like your FR-S, Linda's JCW is very special. Makes me think of historic videos of the Monte Carlo Rallye.
