Halloween is on a Tuesday after Fish Night, which is in Nehawka on October 27th. This means Sue and I will be there Friday in costume. Is Nehawka ready for a Troll/Punk Rocker/Witch/Drag Nurse/Dirty Old Man/Clown? (Marvin, we thought you were to be in costume. What gives? Ed.) Why not join in the fun? I may be something different this year.

I want to thank all the people who braved the cold to attend our Lincoln Car Show. A special thanks to Fred & Marilyn Meier for personing the registration booth and all the hard work that went with it.

Now go tinker with those cars!


The Formerly

Loess Hills Fun Run

Based on information from Don Namolia
and Bob Weddington

The Triumph Drivers traditionally had their annual Lose Hills Run in October, a perfect time to take a drive up Highway 127 from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Logan. However, the Nebraska Triumph drivers were worried that their event was becoming a bit stale, so they decided to try a new venue and a new event. Please rest assured, the event still involves driving British Cars and eating. There are some things that are sacred among British Auto Operators! The event

this year will be a Poker Run, beginning at 2:00 P.M. at Mahoney State Park on Sunday, October 22nd, 2000. There will be an entry fee of $3 per car, and there is a $2 fee to enter the park if you have neglected breakfast and do not have a sticker in your car already. You are also to bring a covered dish and your own table service. The route will cover several state parks - there are 4 within half an hour of each other - and will be on paved roads. The event will end at Platteview State Park. Sounds like a great time and a wonderful chance for one last tour before the end of the "driving season".


Annual Car Show

The Flatwater A-H Club held their annual British Iron show on Sunday, Sept. 24. The day was dreary and cold. In contrast to previous years when a warm Sunday brought out 80 or more cars, motorcycles, and even British bicycles, this year's show was down to 30 hearty souls and their cars.

The judging was none the easier as all the entries were some of the best examples around. The winners were Peoples Choice, John Ulrich with his '69 MGBGT V8 conversion, Diamond in the rough, Allan Gries with his '68 Morgan, and Ken 'The Banker' Grant, taking it to the bank with the Largest Fluid Leak (54"x17") and the Distance Award.
