classes combined into one. Unfortunately, the concours class for trailored cars was mostly a bust. Yours truly found myself with a "queen" on both sides of my Bugeye, with the woman on my right washing the undercarriage with soap and a sponge for gosh sake!. The good news is that our group took home its fair share of awards even with some potential winners left at home. I hope I get these all correct, but if not, I'm sure to hear from you. Leo and Joann Thietje: Second in late chrome bumper MGBs. Pat Koch: Third in MGAs. Ron Birkland: Second in MG TC. Steve and Tootie Witt: First in Spitfires (without so much as a fist fight). Steve Williams: First in Lotus. Jay Fluer: Third in Lotus. |
Jim Danielson and Barbara Rixstine: Third in MGBGT. John Ulrich: First in Bugeye Sprites. The Stork Jag, the Marshall MGB, the Mitchelltree E-Type, and anything Ben wanted to bring were only a few of the cars our members own that "coulda been a contender".

The young man replies "A 1998 Jaguar XK8 Roadster. They cost $150,000." "That's a lotta money!" says the old man, shocked. "Why does it cost so much?" "Cause this car can do up to 160 miles an hour!" states the cool dude proudly. The old man asks, "Can I take a look inside?" "Sure" replies the owner. |
