Albuquerque Rumblers Rumbler Thunder 8 Car Show

ummm, i had a little "misunderstanding" with my navigator. she kept sending me west after we left espanola, i guess i should have paid attention to what she was saying when she mumbled something about crossing the continental divide! it didn't help that i took a nap for an hour while she was driving us in the wrong direction. not that it mattered, we were there to take the scenic route, and we did see more interesting terrain than we would have going up the interstate. we ended up going to pagosa springs, and on up to us 50 to get back east.

did see some low lows cruising espanola in the afternoon. like i said, got nabbed for rolling a lil too fast. also had to play good samaritan and chase down some dipshit who took off in his truck at a stoplight on us50 and lost his springer spaniel puppy out the back of his truck and didn't notice!

i saw a 56 or so NAPCO chevy truck sitting in a pasture! marked that one down to go back on and check out someday.

just a couple of pix for the rumblers.

noel's new hot rod:



...and Noel's hot rod nosed into a drainage culvert and high centered after an attempted u-turn i think the linkage between the skinny pedal and the drag link broke. cause he said it didn't wnat to turn left.


it was funny watching the dude in the bare metal shoebox scrape in, literally. he fried a compressor outside the enterance, so had no airbags after he laid it out, scraped it in laying on the lake pipes. gets to the barricade and spews a geyser of coolant all over the place! he scrapes to his parking spot only to be told to tighten up the parking and get closer to the previous car! that car took a beating in that 50 feet or so!

we all saw visions of Great White concerts gone wrong as the "best Beater" trophy was being presented. flaming trophies with nekkid women on them are cool though, even when the flames are coming from the wrong places.

 

Thanks for the pic's.

 

That's funny...that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the flames dangerously reaching the ceiling......hahaha...wait...that's not funny.........I like Great White . I'm an asshole. I wish I had a shot of the trophy I made...I used a whole jar of flake on that fender skirt....half of it is still in my backyard....


Thanks for the Titanium Ray....your'es the bestest!!!!

 

Noel the T looks rad, and tell chops his roadster is looking good too. Sorry I couldn't make it this year, but I had a major work conflict that they wouldn't let me out of. If it makes you feel any better I missed our show because I was underwater in the atlantic somewhere.

 

i know. at least i'm humble.

dude, i SOOO wanted to drink moonshine and sleep with you again! at least it sounds like you were surrounded by seamen.

on a serious note, that ain't a T, i don't even know what it is, shortened dodge sedan or? someone ask noel what it says on the registration!

 

Here's some more shots - mostly shenanigans and fire:

Things are going real good bro. We've been super busy building scoots. Keep an eye out for Hot Bike Mag in July. We worked with Eric and the HB crew and have a cool feature coming out which will be a new direction for the HB mag. Right now, we are trying to finish 3 builds for the ROT in June. I'll call you soon bro...
