Event Coverage ***PICS*** Strangers BBQ '09

Once again, one of the best car shows of the year took place in our own back yard at San Jose's History Park.

On behalf of myself & my Road Devil brothers in attendance, I would like to express our thanks to the whole Strangers Car Club for one of the friendliest, hassle free events of the year...

I pointed my camera at a car or two as well....







Shot in my door mirror as they passed....












Elvis has left the building....It was a stunning Caddy

Nice shot.

 

hey... didn't see you today. I've always got one eye on the lens and the other lookin for the next shot.

I'll be checking out your slide show tomorrow when I'm supposed to be working....

 

dammit, another nor cal show i had to miss. Thanks for snappin pics, hopefully we can go next year.

 

Hmmm....slightly biased tho....

Hahahaha...i was with a couple of friends today doing the whole "Whirlwind tour" as they arrived late...I think I saw ya off in the distance at one point..

Do yourself a favor next year....be there!!

 

so many cars didn't get in it was like there was a whole other car show out in the parking lot!

is it gonna hafta move to the fairgrounds next year?

 

YES! Great show. The best was getting there early and seeing/hearing all the cars come down the hill to get in line.

One shot before I left.......

 

awsome!

 

WHAT Fairgrounds???
The Santa Clara County Fairgrounds is only good for Off-Track betting and Paintball.(If you're in to that).

I'm so glad I listened to the "words of wisdom" from A32Flathead by getting there early.
(Thanks "English" Dave!).
I was there at 6:45am and by 8:30,the line of cars was already stretching around the parking lot.
Next year it might be a "camp out in the RV" time....

I wonder if the bad experiences from the "other" show in Downtown San Jose had something to do with the increased attendance.
Car all waxed up and no place to go....

I will say it was fun seeing the guy in the '67 Camaro Convertible being told to park his car in the dirt!

 

Thanks for the pics...They were awesome....Your so artistic! Love the Devil
shot!!! We had the pleasure of attending a Strangers show in 06, and these guys sure know who to attract to a show. They were great hosts and there was lots to do there for the whole family
Thanks again for sharing!

 

Great shots Dave! It was good seeing ya yesterday and thanks for taking so many photos!

I swear you and I were standing in the exact same spot while taking several of those pics.

you even took one that I was going to but didn't of the pinstriped running light on the gray and black chop top mopar. I posted about 20 last night , I'll be posting a bunch more tonight.

 

Thanks Brian! I plan on making the '40 LaSalle I'm working on now better, it already sits several inches lower than this one.

 

Nice shot! Right click, save. Thanks Dave. I'll put this one on my website, with your permission.

 

Dave told me I had the hands of a woman. Don't ask me why.


I am officially naming my Plymouth "spaceball" now. hahahahaa.

 

Congrats Johnny.....

 

Great show yesterday it was good seeing all of you guys and thanks for the kind words for my scary paintings.

Gabe.

 

The slide show that A32Flathead posted in post #2 is freaking awesome, great pics of what seemed like a killer ass show..Thanks for sharing.

 

great show , I have a show hangover... lol
while we were cleaning up we were discussing the number of cars that didnt get in.... talk of finding a bigger space etc...
I am sure everybody who worked it is as tired and sore as I am...
with any luck , next year I will be able to park my bike inside! lol
I mean shit , my shovel is smaller (in length) than scotty's mini bike chopper...lol

 

The Stranger's Car Club should be very proud of their Car Show. Great Job. We haven't enjoyed such a laid back, BITCHIN Car Show like this in years. What is so cool is that 99.9% of the cars were driven to this show. 300 plus cars that show the owners talent and dreams. For the cars that didn't get in, YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOOSE. Thanks for a great time !

 

again everyone thats for the support ....i'm going to talk to the park about more space (on the grass)..gorilla dont be a hater, haha....

 

wonderful slide show dave. thanks for the pictures. Congrats to the Strangers, always a good show, wish I was there in person(only in spirit this year). At least the weather behaved. not too hot.

 

that's for the picture's look's like a great show
