Art & Inspiration Are you driving your hot rod or custom to Holiday & new years party's

We plan on visiting my sister on Christmas and loading up the wagon with a table she purchased at a flee market last year when she was visiting us.

If your planning a road trip or just a visit to a friends post a photo of the hot rod or custom you will be driving. HRP

 

5" to 9" of snow predicted for this evening, into tomorrow morning. Then, 8 above for thurs. My model A doesnt appreciate that kind of situation. So, in the garage it stays.

 

No. Can't drink and drive.

 

Well you can but it's not wise, ask me how I know! HRP

 

Not sure what we are doing yet as far as Christmas, but will be driving these whatever it is. Took this pic last night when I had to go find my truck that my son was driving so I could get something out of the glove box. I have a buddy that owns a Napa that should be doing his yearly New Year's eve open house and we may take three vehicles including the avatar if so, since I now have myself and two 16 year old boys that think they need to drive too... Although, I need to verify that he is having the open house considering our new and different rules in today's world.

 

At the best this year's progress isn't worth pushing out of the garage for a photo.
2020 has been a bitch!

 

Nevermind...no open house at our local hot rod Napa. This year is nuts. Looks like the only driving of old cars will be for errands or to work.

 

no
party is at our place

 

Yep!... Going too mom's house for a Lasagna dinner... I don't want to miss that!....

 

I was til I found a broken coil spring last weekend. The new springs don't look like they will be delivered on time

 

I'm going to our annual New Years Morning gathering in Lotus Ca. (close to Coloma gold discovery site)
Usually over by 10:00 AM. Last year had about 80 participants.

 

Kinda-sorta...........Car buddies with wives delivered presents and complete Holiday meals to three needy families today. Ten kids across the three families, ranging from 1 thru 16. Lots of smiles..........

 

Hey, good on you and your buddies! In today's world there are a lot of people who are suddenly needy. I can't wait for 2020 to be over, and I hope 2021 brings better days for all. Thanks for your generosity towards those who are less fortunate.

 

My family is down a car, so I'm daily driving my Falcon if that's anything lol

Sunday I went to our Christmas event,it's each year. The Jr Orange Bowl Parade ,this year was a bit def. do too China 19. Norm all the local schools with marching bands an dance groups ect. are in it. But only wheeled foats an cars this year. We did go more miles around a lot of homes,so they could watch from there front yards an a round the golf greens. If ya know my hot rod,you'll spot it in a few places.

 

You and your pals are to be commended, Seeking out people that need a helping hand at this time of year you guys are great examples of big hearted hot rodders. HRP

 

You bet I am.

 

Nope. Too many drunks on the road in So Cal.

 

I was planning on it, but my brake master decided it no longer has to hold fluid so that scuppered any plans until the new year.

 

If I leave now do ya think I can make it on time mate ??

 

Lot of rain, My sister say's they are calling for some pretty low temperatures tonight and snow, hope to be back on the road for home before they start salting the highway. HRP

metro; has gone up for Xmas period to A$1.46 per litre

Merry Xmas Don

 

I drove my '51 Shoebox around on Tuesday wishing a few friends a merry Christmas and took the '41 Chevy into town today for some last minute grocery shopping. Thus ends my holiday season.

 

We got back home around 10:30 we saw a lot of traffic and saw some snow but we made it home safe & sound.

When we left this morning it was 56 degrees and it's 31 now, I am happy I put a heater in the wagon. HRP

 

Just walking across the back alley to the neighbors.

 

We drove in a Christmas parade. Did not get out of the car.

 

Woke up to 7 inches of the white stuff this morning, so the hot rods will stay tucked away in The Hot Rod Grille garage.

 

It's 9° outside.... BRRRR!....

 

24 degrees here this morning, brrr! HRP
