Car Show in Houston last Weekend

Post by jamesw »

There was an hilarious car show here in Houston last weekend - it was sort of a promotional event for a local bar, a car shipping company, and a lingerie calendar. Anyways, to make a long story short they asked to use my car in the show and I said sure - I'm sure she'll fit right in w/ the lambos and ferraris lol. But on the other hand, my car got just as much or MORE attention than the supercars - which is pretty typical for the roadster. The ladies from the calendar were there as an added attraction - and they weren't your typical car show models to say the least...

Anyhow, here are a few snapshots I took w/ my iPhone. There was a professional photographer on hand, but she hasn't uploaded her photos yet. I can't wait to see those :-)

Cheers
James

Very observant Alvin! This is my 67 1/2 1600 - a very nice driver I got to replace my '69 2000 until I get one of my frame-off's done. The car is a multiple award Shasta winner and used to be long to Lynette. It was a pretty well known car on the West coast for a while, but eventually made its way to Northern BC where I eventually bought it. I think it may hold some kind of title for farthest (and most $$$) shipped car!

It is bone stock except for an EI dizzy and it's in very good shape w/ Everwings, headrests, and sun visors.

Cheers

Hi Jeff,

It was at Rice Village in the parking lot next to Brian O'Neil's pub.

I would be interested in anything you have Alvin.

It was at Shasta in 2001 and shows up on Gordon Glasgow's page but the photo is a red X. It was also a 1600 stock winner in 1999 and shows up in the team.net archives.
