Variety of Pleasanton Cars

Here's a very small sample of some of the diverse range of vehicles on display at the Goodguys car show. Tattoo Bill's chrome car attracted a lot of attention and the Jelly Belly teams junior dragsters caught my eye. (That photo's for you Sam!)
Guess the rest of them don't need any explanation.





It's been a pretty quiet week...On Monday we worked at our various chores, then off to a double birthday party on Tuesday. We then headed into the Citrus Heights Hills to buy a '65 Mustang. A friend of the owner was there, and he sported one of the worst cases of infection I've seen. He's a stunt motorbike rider and had a crash during their local competitions. (Never realised stunt riders had competitions, so learnt a lot about that!)

Wednesday was "street Legal" races, and we helped the local California Highway Patrol guys, who were doing an undercover sting at the strip looking for stolen cars and parts. Lots of fun! Thursday saw a bit of Mall shopping and the placing of our very own legal California number plate on the roadster.

Yesterday was a cruise on the freeway in the old girl...out to a classic car auction in Rio Linda. Was a bit daunting being surrounded in big trucks etc in an open car, but a thrilling experience non the less. It's great cruising in our own hot rod in the country of it's origin. Not too many people drive their rods to events here. Trailering is pretty normal, and we are determined not to follow that trend...some folk at the auction were amazed we had driven there! Told them the car had been built to DRIVE...not just to look at! One even thought we'd driven it all the way from New Zealand??!! I don't think the level of school geography is very high here!
