Good to see the kitties again.

Now all we have to do is pay for it!

We had a great time. Our club is not so much a car club as a group of friends who have a common interest in these cars.

We had about 125 cars show up, and about twice that many people.

As you can see, we drove the cars all over the place. Cripple Creek, Royal Gorge, Pike's Peak, Air Force Academy, Garden of the Gods, etc.

A few other friends at the top of Pike's Peak:

That car is Rolla Hessel's car, and it has 2 beer kegs, which serve as gas tanks. He had to get official approval for the paint job from Budweiser. I would say he has nearly as much in his "theme" costs, such as the kegs and paint, as I have in my whole car.

But he's a neat guy. Colorado Springs, where we had the meet, is, as most people know, home to an Air Force base, an Army base, and the Air Force Academy. A number of military guys showed up for our show on Saturday (which is free for all spectators). We made sure they got rides in the cars.
