Wheels 'n' Windmills

August 29, 2015

Heard about it, but never went....till Now ! NICE Show ! Very Cool Town, Very Cool cars too ! We met up with Stan & Cindy, Steve, Mark, and Keith there. The host club lets you sign up to park with your club, or party, so our spots were waiting, I like this setup ! and Solvang is pretty Cool.

Stan the "Marlin Man" has a setup for the Flags, America's & American Motors, and it's Awesome. Rarely do you see Flags up, so all the people walking around get to see who we are....OH', and what the hell is AMC ???

Ken Norman has some Beautiful cars, he brought his 66 Ambo Convertible. Unfortunately, he didn't know about putting the club down for parking, so he was about a block away from us. So we actually had 6 cars here.

On the corner from us was the "Black Marlin", or Black Cherry, the one that was at SEMA in 2014, She is BEAutiful ! It was hard getting pix of this car, it was under trees, and the shadows took away the color. They left early, the tree was dropping things that were scratching the clear coat, so I had to scramble to get a few pix as they were driving out.

This little Monster was on the corner between the two Marlins, it's a Wounded Warrior Memorial drag Jeep, Looks Awesome, Sounds Awesome, & Hauls Ass !

Another shot the other way, we are about in the middle of the show. Only 300 cars are accepted at this show, so it's one you need to pre-reg for early, it fills fast ! John & Shelly didn't get reg'd in time, but they came out in their motor home.

There's a lot of Show cars here, Beauties ! and I didn't get all the pix I wanted, the lens on my camera has some chips on it, so here are some that came out.

I bought some tickets to win this Cobra !.....again this year....I don't know why they haven't called me yet to pick it up....

When I was taking pix of our cars, I was on a balcony of a little center to see if I could get decent pix, I couldn't, but when I left to go back to the cars, I heard someone say "AMX", when I turned around, they were a ways away, and looked at me and waived. So, I think they were surprised to get AMC's at this show, and I think they floated a trophy to our group, I was the Lucky recipient !

The cars getting trophy's were Show cars, like the Black Marlin (who did win, but left early). My car is a driver, but it was pretty Cool !

This is a pix of me....running up to get a trophy !
