Are You Into Nines?

The October car show at Life Christian Church was the last of the season. Cheryl didn't come this time so it was just Beth & myself looking at the cars on display. Athough we were in October, the weather was nice & warm so we didn't need a coat or anything similar. The sun was shining for the entire event & the local news channel helicopter put in a few passes, filming the show from the air.

As usual, there were loads of great cars at the show, but there were a few that really stood out. There was a gasser style 50's Chevy that was more of a 'rat rod' than a show car. This still looked cool thanks partly to the unfinished look of this genre of hot rod. The shark teeth down the side reminded me of a WWII fighter plane & probably caused some double takes when out on the road.

There was also a totaly wicked Plymouth 'Cuda with the number plate RU-N29S (are you into nines?) which no doubt refers to the times it runs in the 1/4 mile. With a 622ci V8 (just over 10 litres) I'm surprised that it isn't into the 8's.
