Event Coverage Thanks to all who attended the Shifters Viva Las Vegas #13 ~ LOTS OF PICTURES!

Dan,

I was so happy that you and Sherry came to Viva, glad you had a great time. Your '59 Ragtop looked sweet in our line-up of rides. Now put Gunnison on your calender, here's a link:

Kudos to the Shifters for the quality of the show. They made a few changes this year, all for the better from where I'm standing. Keep heading that direction guys !

Johnnie.

 

Here's to starting a motion to make VLV 14 a 2 day show!

 

Axle,

I had a great time... hanging out at viva!

I felt you guys (shifters) really rolled out the red carpet for us. It seemed that you really wanted us there.

The funniest part of the weekend though was when Squeak asked me if I had "seen any FREAKS?" then picked some out for me to look at!

By the way a few of us were piled in the model a on friday night and a bunch of shifters guys snapped some pics, anyway to get a copy or a post?

thanks

Chuck Berry was good. We all have to remember that he was born in 1926 - that makes him 84 years old. I'm sure there's people that age that can't even walk let alone get up on stage , sing, and play guitar. Bobby Trimble on drums, Carl Sonny Leyland on Piano - CB's personal bassist was preferred at the last minute . It was a good show.

 

It was great to see the Throttlers out again! Seeing 5 of you guys piled in that model A was classic! I got a pic but it came out a little blury. lets see if it comes out.

 

Thanks for everything, we had the best time ever.

 

Elvis must be Proud !!!

 

I'm going to let the cat out of the bag.



JERRY LEE LEWIS is performing the car show next year !

Make hotel reservations for 2011 now !

 

Great pics thanks

 

thats a pretty cool picture....man we sure had fun

 

That's one serious cat!

I will start saving today

 

Thats stand up ! Kudos to both Kiwikev and club.

 

I may have cryed about 30 bucks, but i forgot how much fun this show is.
Thank for not kicking my ass when i showed up. and thanks for your effort.

 

More great pics !

 

thanks axle, i don't know how i missed that. Thank god i'm only dumb most of the time. That thing is perfect, i cant quit staring at it...what a great find.

 

Thanks again alex, and all the guys from the shifters, you guys are wonderfull hosts. Had a blast getting sauced with your club on thursday night, anyway I am putting up for sale another car, I want to make shure I have the coin to go next year. Though I am always the nice guy, and believe in giving people a chance, I could'ent agree with you and your club more, if a guy respects his car and the work he puts in it, he tends to respect other people, their cars , and him self. thus you avoid the guys that just cause drama and fights. I live in Tijuana, a city that now has one of the worst murder rates in the world, and your show is my vacation I take once a year, I am really proad of you guys, you have the largest and best show in the scene, the quality of the cars was way up,and so where the people,and thats hard to achieve with a show that size. The best to you and all your club, Miguel.

 

Hell yeah the KILLER i'm there for sure.

 

Axle, you guys did a great job as usual ! We had a very good time ,it was an awsome show see ya next year!!

 

I think I'm just about over the trip.....

Good seeing you & Celeste Alex, thanks for putting on the show, you guys did a great job.

Chuck Berry has now been "crossed off the list" as it were...

See ya soon.

 

Dave, can you imagine hearing the killer performing "High School Confidential" ?

 

It was great to see you Miguel but hope more Lifters will think about coming out next year.

 

I did...15 years ago, with Little Richard at home!

 

The Killer Jerry Lee next year ????!!! Very Cool.

Year after that......I VOTE FOR SETZER !!!! They guy LOVES Cars and is the King of Rockabilly in my book. Probably a bit pricey though......

 

No guys not Jerry Lee Lewis....Jerry Lewis is performing....LADY!!!!!!

Seriuosly though Kevan gave me the early news and I cant wait!!!!

 

Hey Axle,
I speak for the four of us that drove up.... Man we had a blast. See you again next year.

 

Why didn't you stop by and say HI? I didn't realize that was your Chevy...

 

Nice selection of cars there, just got too crowded for me, but I do plan on being back next year.

 

Here's a thought for you...If it wasn't crowded,it wouldn't be a successful show!!!!!

 

Duh, just saying it would be nice if there was more space available so that you could see the cars through the crowds of people, no show is perfect and I'm sure that if that many people showed up then next year there might be more room. I said I was coming back.

 

Axel great show,and chuck was awesome.It was funny watching him change up the songs and the house band trying to keep up with him.The killer at viva is amazing.Its still at the orleans right? april 23rd 24th ? i will book now then.
