We Might as Well Have a Party Verse II: Omaha Edition
A new FWAHC tradition was started with the eastern version of the "Its too cold to work in the garage, too
salty to drive LBCs, football is over and we are bored so we might as well have a party" party. Jerry and Nancy Needham were kind enough to open their home in Bellevue to the FWAHC. Brave souls, the Needhams.
(No comments on the intelligence of such a move will be tolerated. Ed.)
A few folks from Lincoln made the trip and were joined by the Omaha regulars in a feast and a tour of Jerry's basement. This is more than just a basement, for it contains our esteemed president's storehouse of Bugeye and various other British car parts. We were also treated with the first public viewing of John O'Brien's newly restored little red Bugeye Sprite.
Thank you again, Needhams, for having the courage to allow all of us to invade your home. |
