John boy was a simple factory worker that spent all of his days and most of his nights working along side a mighty print press. His hands, covered in grease, oil, and ink residue, had long gone shaky as the sound of the press had permanently shot his... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
A few weeks ago, I called John at home. He had his wife screen the call because he was afraid of what I might say. I could hear the shame and disappointment in her voice. She so badly wanted a real man... Maybe she'll be at the Revolution too!
Ot But wait a minute,I thought his wife left him,where did ol John get time to find another so quickly?
I'm coming.....might be coming alone but I am coming damn it! Very excited to attend. I have been wanting to hit this one up for a few years now and I'm finally getting my chance. 22 hrs of driving one way for a one day show......it's gotta be good right!?
Damn! Just what I needed to see this morning. Wish I could make it down this year....MAYBE next year.
Another Omaha resident saying Damn!! can't make it. I was lucky enough to attend the first one at the power plant and it will be my fave show forever!! And now I see the Paladins are performing, you lucky dogs!! ~sololobo~
I've long maintained that the Power Plant Revolution just might have been the best car show ever assembled with less than 150 cars. That was a special day at a special place during a very special time. I'll forever be looking up at that show. The Camp Mabry Revolution has the potential to be just as good... And I think it would have been last year had the weather cooperated. I'm on pain killers at the moment due to a bum shoulder, so my filter is turned low. That being said, if there is one aspect to the Revolution that makes it so special it's this: The show has never really made a profit and no one involved has ever really cared. I've been lucky enough to do this with my brother Keith Tardel, and two of my best friends in the world - Steve Wertheimer and Will Muntz. It's been a perfect storm of sorts in that this show represents a reprieve for all of us - just a way to relax, have fun, and really focus on what's important to us as a group. This show is 100% drive by passion. I love that.
Boss still has not approved my vacation time but like John on Thursday I shall flip the main switch off and climb into my Ford and head for Austin. Could be I will be stricken with a bad attack of Motoring Insanity. The power plant show was indeed just about the best show ever - but I always take the view that the next one will be even better! See you all in Austin.
Chilly or not, last year's show was fantastic. I'm disappointed that we won't get to attend this time around but look forward to seeing some great coverage...please!
Looks like I have to be present for election judge classes that weekend.Guess I'll just have to settle for a couple of T-shirts.
Headin' over from Norway for my first attendance. Looking forward to it. And since I can make $9490 a month on the internet like Debora, I'll be able to pay for my plane ticket while drinking beer. Awesome. Hans
Absolutely, the power plant was an amazing show. Really great cars & an incredible picture location. The weather sucked last year, but the quality of the show didn't suffer from it. I'm looking forward to this years Revolution.
Jeffrey, you will love doing it for each and every mile - I did it last year (and unfortunately cannot do it again this year) and it was a great show, a great ride. I hope to return next year but in my roadster .....
Me too. Please guys, post lots of pictures. "Top 150 hand picked cars" in the country, all in one spot. Epic! Kicking myself already....
