Too much is never enough!

It was time to go to the local car show again - hurrah! This month we got there at about 5:30pm & the place was already quite full with a line of cars waiting for a parking space. The day was especially hot so Cheryl & Beth went to Woody's Cafe which is located in the church building complex & is similar to Chuck E Cheeses (i.e. food & amusements).

I had an initial walk around & as usual was drooling over most of the cars. It was quite ironic to see a Morris Minor & a Ford Popular (sorry, Anglia) as these are part of the backbone of British hot rodding. The steering wheels being on the 'wrong' side (LHD for the US market) just didn't look right.

As was was making my way past the entrance, I noticed alot of head turning. Not wanting to miss out, I looked around only to be greeted by just a slightly OTT Ford Model T hot rod. Putting a high powered V8 into something the weight of a shoebox usualy makes for a pretty big grin factor but this Model T was also twice blown. Two roots style superchargers had been mounted on top of the engine in such a manner that you probably had to stand up whilst driving just to see over the engine. Very 1960's show car & very cool. Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the car had been signed by Paul LeMat who played Milner in the film American Graffitti - Where were you in '62? This is a cult American hot rod film that was directed by George Lucas & also starred Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford & Ron Howard (Richie from Happy Days) & of course the legendary Wolfman Jack. Yet another good show, but now the only question is how long will it be before I get to show my car there?
