    Although one or two roadsters are out-a-sight, 400 roadsters would be a bit...boring. No?

    My plain 'ol car will be there, all oiled up and shiny. I'll see if I can park it next to a roadster for ya.

    So how many roadster shows are really "roadster shows". Is the GNRS really all roadsters? Come on, it's just a name, don't get all worked up about a name.

    Spent most the day there today, and saw a great variety of cars. Very nice exhibits!

    And the man only has one of the best looking rods in the PNW. Gives the other guys a running chance at a trophy though.

    The plan has been revised. We are going Sunday. Have a deal going for a box with wheels that gets a lot better gas mileage than the GMC tomorrow right when we planned to be at the show. 10Mpg and 50 miles of driving a day is killing me.

    OK, so I was there yesterday and today and didn't see Gene Winfield. Anyone know where his booth is? E-D- or whereabouts in those halls? I know he's not in that other old hall!

    Not "Worked up", just call it as it is.----I agree, GNRS should NOT be called that.

    More to the "real thing" is the annual LAR show, always 600+ open cars on Fathers Day.Bresides that, ALL entries are DRIVEN into the show!!!!!!!!!!

    Not trying to get a rise out of ya Pop, just saying 400 (or 600) of any one thing is boring. Okay...boring to me.

    Thanks for showing the Photo Lamplighter. Don Lowe has built several fantastic cars over the years and that one is right up there with the best of the bunch.
