Hope you all have some "Great" weather for this show as I've heard some outstanding cars and guests have been there in the past and are expected to be there again this year!!!

 

Just a quick update. It is Sunday, day four. We drove the 3hrs to Moncton from Halifax on friday. Great weather, about 25C and sunny. I forgot how nasty vinyl and shorts in hot sun can be. It is great driving around and seeing that half the cars/trucks you see are older than 1985. We did not really do any festival stuff on friday except for checking in. I was, about, the 1500th car to check-in with almost 2000 pre-registered.

Saturday, RAIN, about 20C. It was supossed to clear up around noon. I left for the grounds at 10:30-11:00. Still raining, rained all day until almost 5pm.

There were still tons of car on show. The gates opened at 8am and when I was talking to one of the marshalls he said that cars were lined up at 7am to get the "choice spot." Me, I am just happy to be here.

Saturday night the city of Moncton closed down about 5 blocks of Main street and only allowed National cars downtown. The whole street was a free car show party. Every bar, pub and resturant had a line to get in. Fun fun fun!

I managed to run into Dennis Gage, he was braving the weather to meet and great fans. The rain did not same to bother him. Although I have seen him pull bug parts out of his 'stash after going for a test drive on TV so a little rain should phase him.

Now for the disappointing news. I walked around for hours. Saw 15-20 Beaumonts, a million Ford Chevy and Mopar. I counted 4-5 OLDSMOBILE. My '68 being the oldest. Two 70-72's, one convertible and one coupe, a later 70's Cutlass and 2 80's G-Body Cutlass and one '83 HO.

I only took a few pics on Sat, Sun promises to be sunny and 25C. Very nice for a show! I will post some later when I have more time. I sould be packing up to go to day 4!

Cheers all!
