Update from Barret-Jackson

I'm presently inside warming up and watching a beautiful Jaguar XK-140 cross the block. Despite the weather this year the attendance for Saturday is very high. Itls been clear and cold here (at least by Arizona standards) and I've seen a much more diverse mix of vehicles than last year. So far the photo count is just shy of 500 and I've covered barely 1/3 of the cars here. As soon as I thaw back out I'll start my next round. My favorites of the show so far are the Kaiser Darrins and the collection of 3-wheelers.

Cheers!

Russo and Steel update!

I just got word from a friend on the ground at Russo and Steel 2010 in Scottsdale Arizona. Apparently the storms and high winds tonight (and proximal Tornadoes) were enough to ravage the tents with unknown damage occurring to the cars held inside.

Who knows exactly what has happened right now? Noone, the local law enforcement has forced everyone from the Russo and Steel grounds.

Similar issues were indicated at Barrett Jackson, but apparently the only cars reported being damaged were vendor cars.

I'll update when I find out more.

Happy 2010!

Soo, you may have noticed it's been quiet around here of late. The holiday season is not the best time for getting a lot of garage projects done. In fact, about the only use the garage has seen for the past bit is getting all of the Christmas stuff out, and now putting it all back in. That and hiding presents from prying eyes of course.

Additionally, after signing my daughter up for her first season of soccer I had the brilliant (or not so, as my wife would put it) idea that hey, if the kids are doing it, so can I! Well, 5 games in to the season I took a bad fall, strained most of the ligaments in my knee and bruised the bone on the area where I landed.

Since my knee hasn't been terribly interested in bending, well, it's seriously curtailed any possible time I may have spent out there. On a brighter note, it seems to be working much better now, so as soon as I finish my end of 2009/beginning of 2010 honey do's we should be back in action out there!

Cheers! and Happy New Year!
