The group seemed to have a good time in spite of the rain. My husband, son and I got there at 4:20 this morning. I parked my HHR with my husband's group of Chevelles and 55 Chevy's. I did go and visit the group and had my HHR there for a short time. There were a lot of really great cars there and it was fun even though we had to dry the cars a few times.
Sorry that some of you were not able to make it today

 

Beckey haven't seen you around here for a long time.

 

Wow, came home and was so tired I couldn't see straight. Had a bite and put myself down for a NAP...9PM the dog jumped on my bladder to show me what HER problem was. So much for my Saturday night - Today was incredible, folks. True spirit and sense of humors!! It rained, We wiped, it rains, we wiped again, it rains again, we just laughed and enjoyed the show...

There was only one longer rain session, and I didn't see anyone wimping out - the day was long and warm and wonderful!! Photos - oh YEAH, we got photos, video, the whole 9 yards. This thread is going to FLOW with photos, but there will also be slideshows of the whole shebang. Nowhere can you see that many excellent vehicles in one place, not anywhere I've been anyway.

Thank you all - and I mean all - for showing up at the ungodly hour, for the comraderie, and the fun. We really represented, didn't we?? And Beckie - so nice to see you again, for as long as we got to borrow you!!

HotrodBob, there will be many other occasions!! And JT'S HHR, you were sorely missed, but I bet it was coming down in buckets in your area.

 

Slideshow links are pretty much all I have time for today, as I am suffering in vinyl gloves and vaseline with a flare of finger tips contact allergy - happens everytime I clean/do projects/change of climate, etc. Very sore right now.

I hope others will come in with some real photos for those who don't have the patience to follow these links.

3500 cars - - here are our 6 (sorry we didn't catch shots of HHR-Delyt's when it was with us):

It seems that there was no "Class" for HHRs so that's something we'll have to address... so no winner, I actually don't think it crossed any of our minds anyway.

47 LX's showed up to beat out the Corvette clan and really got their goat when hubby's group had to borrow some of their "extra" space.
Note the winning Magnum was a gorgeous concept - red car with several colorations of reds, blacks, and grays, with smoking flames, as if driving right into the fire. Front wheels same design as back, but "blackened". I loved it.

We didn't get out and around the show as much this year, so the slideshow below will only give you the flavor of what we saw - hopefully there will be others too.

Rick supposedly making a necklace for his daughter.....yeah right

 

Well beside the cloud bursts we endured it was a great time. Great seeing everyone. No comments about Rick and Paul's Prostate exams, we know they had the blood test but the smile on ther faces we beg to differ. Thanks all see at the next one.

Todd(Uma) & Kris

P.S. Rick hope your daughter got her necklace...

 

Todd,

I'm still not over the prostate exam, The Doc said she would take me to dinner and a movie. I had a great time hanging with the gang and My daughter loves the necklace that Daddy made for her.

Good Bless!
Rick Johnson

 

You can make one for your wife next time

We sure had fun, didn't we. Wait till you see the video my hubby made of our little cruise around the fairgrounds route. First he does a little walk-around and then the cruise... apologies for the misspellings of Harvey, Bud. So he's not infallible, but this is our 19th anniversary today and I have NO COMPLAINTS!!!

What a great day it was!

Despite the rainfall and several rounds of drying the cars I think we all had a blast.

It's like we were having our own little event and there was a car show going on around us. I thought the time flew by with all of the fun and great conversation. This is a great group of people to hang out with and I look forward to our next get together.

Bud and his wife absolutely get the long distance award for making the trek down to OC under less than perfect conditions.

BTW: The winner of the Ricoh color printer we gave away was the owner of Pteazer! He came by to pick it up today driving a custom PT and he is a really nice guy. I had seen him on TV before (The "Ride's" HHR build off) and I recognized him immediately. What a trip!

Cheri/Mitzkity thanks for getting us all on board for this event!

P.S. The video on You Tube is Awesome!

 

Charles, I don't get around here as much any more. No time for it. Work is CRAZY busy! Lots of O.T.....But it was great to see some of the HHR's owners on Saturday. I hung out with my husband and son with their Chevelle group. They did let me park my HHR with them since it is a Chevy.
