Spent a few hours at one of the season opener shows at the Poppy Secondary School put on by the automotive department. First time at this one and it was THREE blocks from my new place...soon as I pulled off my street and saw classics all over 240th I knew it was going to be sizable. Must have been over 300 cars of all types. Stayed a few hours and then back hope to work on the acreage...

Sweet! I didn't go to any shows, but did drive the Bird and the Camaro yesterday... in between doing a clutch job for a friend...

Looks like it was a great turnout. I like the dark blue HO. Were the stripes silver? Looks like a cool color combo...

Thanks for the pix - B!

It was an incredible day for a show. We almost had the car out at this show. I found out about it too late and had already committed to another event on Sunday. Looks like it was a great show though. I know a few people that had their cars there. a nice blue and white 57 chev, and a modified Anglia.

Ya Brett the stripes were silver, looked really good on the car.

I saw a few blue n white pipty sevens...and some great blue and W 56's.

Think I's like to build a 50's truck one of these days!

Now we're doing car shows in early May around BC, must be global warming although not the way the weather has been this Spring. Glad to see you got out Dave, I insured the car today and got out for a short drive. It was nice, just topped up all fluids turned it over then away to the gas station for some fresh octane to start the season. Been so busy with work (which is a good thing) hopefully I'll get time for a couple shows this year but I doubt it.

Nice picts Dave!


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

We are planning to be there! We will also have the car in our first show coming up on May 28 at Lynn Valley Day, if it's a nice day.

I can't make Softball City this year as the wife will be heading over to Van for the start of a Alaska cruise that day and I'll have the kids. The 13th will be a big day for me as well, going into the local longshoring union so I will be staying close to home around that time. If you do get over to the Island do let me know. I am planning to go to Portland for the GTOAA event in early July. It's the first time that they have had the nationals in this area so it'll be something to see.
