Event Coverage >>> Adventures of Bad Bob #9-"BONNEVILLE">>>"

The merc came in a tralier they parked next to the Fergersons. There was also a 60s plymouth in the trailer.

 

Anybody recognize this guy? hahaha!


Cool little Crosley...

 

Saltgator!

 

Saturday night we headed into Wendover for the Car Show at the Nugget...

 

"The Boners"...

 

great shots!

 

What a show, Bob! Another stellar job!

 

Cool pics as usual. A trip to Bonneville is on my bucket list!

 

Ok. Where do I begin?...First off, Bob, thanks for the pics! Someday I will be there. and for the record I dig your truck! Nearly all the cars looked badass, but the few I thought really stood out are....
That mint colored Merc.! It looks like is was made to be photograped on the salt. That color against the white salt is f'in awesome! I hope Peter Vincent got a few more pics of that thing for a future book or Rodder's Journal spread! Also, the red '39 sectioned custom, the Bond Bread truck , The Coca Cola truck, the Rollin Bones and of course the blonde in pink. Any more pics of that Coke truck thing?

 

Great shots! Thanks for taking the time to share, although this thread is fast becoming the never ending Bonneville picture thread!

 

Hey Bob, Great shots!! Even though I was there, I didn't realize how much I didn't see! I met you Tuesday morning at the combo course starting line, (I have a 49 merc also). Really appreciate your pictures!!! and great meeting you!

 

May be Cadillac, wouldn't mind finding a set of those gauges myself.

 

well 250 was about 12 years ago right? thats when it was suppose to happened, i had no clue they went up that much in value. man now i wish i would have had a chance to buy it, mind you that he was going to give it to me for a few of grand. the guy was way well off. and this thing just sat in an under house garage, covered!

 

Does anyone have any details on this Coupe? Like that color a lot.

 

Great photos , thanks for sharing !

 

Thank you Bad Bob!

 

Hey! What's up Bob? I would have gotten more shots of the Race Cars,but I didn't have transportation. It's really hard without a scooter,quad,or something...Next time I go,I will have my own scooter,so I can come and go as I please. Since I broke my bike,I had to come and go with the rest of the guys...
Don't forget to post pic's on the HAMB Merc Club!!!

 

"Patiently crouched at the starting line...COME ON! SING!!! He's going the distance...he's going for speed...he's all alone,all alone in his hour of need...." hahaha!

BadBob, thanks for the "Cake" reference. It is now engrained in my head.

 

I couldn't help it....cause she has a smile like the Grinch,hahaha!!!!
