When i was a kid, my dad and I built a ton of models. Mostly, we focused on WWII aircraft. We'd spend hours putting them together. Every piece was painted perfectly, the decals were laid straight and true, and the finished model was always exactly ho... To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here. |

As always, we had a great time in Austin this weekend. I don't know how they do it, but those Texas guys just keep getting better every year. We plan our entire year around this show. It was great to catch up with old friends and to make some new ones. Unless providencially hindered, we will never miss this show.

Looks like a awesome time as usual. Great bunch of cars and the Jalopy Journal's pick was definitely justified. Top to bottom it screams hot rod.

Well said Sir. My bedroom growing up looked like a Boeing factory wilth all of the model airplanes hanging from the ceiling with fishing line and a used car lot with all of the cars on every flat surface availible.

So true, it's funny because Reggie and I were talking Saturday morning about how we all aspire to be Norm! He's living the life.
Great weather, great cars but most of all great friends! Marcy |

I'll tell y'all the view of all those guys from the inside is just as golden! The little I get to see everyone these days is a downer but every time I walk up and see their smiling faces, (or stressed outfaces ) I think to myself, It's a great day to live in Austin, a great day to be a Kontinental!Ryan, NONE OF THIS would be possible with out the HAMB and your undying support. Thank you. Gotta say thanks to the Yay-Hoos for their hard work putting on the mini-bike races also. |

Drove up on Sat with a couple of friends and had a fantastic time. Because of work I had never been able to go to this show, but I do not have that conflict anymore. Saw some friends, made a couple of more and will not miss this show again. Thanks to all involved for putting on a true hotrod show.
There is no place like Texas!!!!!!!

And Angelo is as great a guy as you'll ever meet. The car is perfection, wise choice Ryan.
He's got some talented kids too....

What better way to spend a weekend than at the Lone Star round up. When you think about the show you got to know there are so many folks involved to make it all happen and the behind the scene so to speak.I don't think it could be any better and I give my thanks to the knotinentals and all the hard working helpers that made it happen. All of you made a great event for thousands and we appreciate it very much.
