Good one!

I plan to go to both. I also saw my local cigar company was making an appearance at Blakney on Sat, from 10-3. (Outland Cigars) They tweeted about it but I dont see anything on their website.

Thanks for coming out guys... great to see you all!!

I got a little bit of sun myself... luckily I had some sunscreen on. It was hot when that sun popped out!!

Cool thing was... I stayed till the end, and turns out I won the Ducati/Motorcycle class (the "Barn Find" Moto Guzzi won the Specialty)!! Very cool and unexpected... especially since I had no idea there would be voting or anything until I got there. Just thought it was a Cars & Coffee type of get together (albeit a little more organized). So that was pretty cool. They're sending me a little plaque or trophy or something.

Apparently car is to low and dealer can't do an oil change. Told me I should go to a place with a pit to have them change the oil. That is like Jiffy Lube and Penzoil and what not. Seriously like I am going to trust them with my car.
