Everyone is cool until you get your kid a drumset. That when you learn who your friends really are.

well it's been a while last week i cranked up the torino... after sitting almost a year and some cranking it fired up
so i decided to drive it to a small local show last sunday (last saturday was crazy too with taking the courier to cruise night for a minitruck photo shoot and filming of another brock's garage episode) see the other thread for those details... but sunday i went to the car show... first one there!!!! first time in my life |

nice small show that's nearly unheard of anymore! only 5 trophies... which leads me to this story...
mike went too and hung out for the day as well. later in the day i saw one of my local car buddy's walking around, he was asked to judge cars, he told me that mine was top pick for the musclecar award but the 55 chevy beat me out by 1 point! i told him ok that's cool i don't care if i win or not as long as i had a fair shot at it i asked what was i marked down on? so i try to improve it in the future... he said it was something in the interior... looking on his sheet and said "missing a drivers side visor" "MIKE!!!!!!" i had totally forgotten i removed it back around the beginning of the year and shipped it to mike to get the last autograph i was missing from david soul ( who lives in the UK ) and hadn't received it back yet but any way the last trophy given was pastor's choice... which i received so things worked out well anyway |

Congrats!!!!i known that feeling :).
First trophy I ever got——
Was for my ‘83 Yamaha XJ900RK. I rescued it from being parted out, cleaned it, got it back into really nice condition though unrestored no aftermarket parts allowed for anything that had to be replaced. It was a lot of work, and I just wanted to get an Honorable Mention for it.... all the trophies go to fancy paint jobs and lots of chrome on Harleys, but an Honorable Mention sure would be the icing on the cake. I was awarded 1st Place. Now, there 10 trophies for it on my shelf. :) This is why I’ve decided against a full-blown restoration on my GTS.... I don’t NEED a trophy for a car too. I’m going to make it mechanically sound and safe, get to look good enough to be respectable at local cruise-ins, and enjoy driving it. I’ll put more detailed focus into my ‘69 Torino GT.
