i was invited by another Mini owner to attend a British Car show in Jupiter Florida, with this being a 55 mile drive one way, it would be the longest I would drive my Mini one way.  Covering 110 miles round trip today she ran like a champ, sadly I no longer have A/C as the condenser sprung a pinhole leak that I noticed while I was there.

I am also still trying to  figure out if my oil pressure is real, I just purchased a oil pressure gauge from Amazon that is supposed to be VERY accurate, so I can figure out if my engine is going or my gauge is garbage.


So on to the car show, I have never entered a car show before, I kind of know the routine, my dad was a Corvette club member and used to show his Vettes in all the shows and now shows a 09 Shelby GT-H Mustang in Shows. I am more of a win a trophy for driving them than parking them kind of guy but what the heck lets do this.... I had no delusions of winning anything my truck is in rough shape for car shows but a fantastic driver that I have no issues taking out and working out of.

The Mini's.

I forgot to take a picture of it, this guy had the original window sticker from the sale of his car in England back in the 60's.










Old vs. new:


My old girl, she had a great shade spot, coming in late has it perks.



Zombie Apocalypse Range Rover.


New Jag Type F, I want..



Sunbeam Tiger signed by Carol..



Sick RSR Replica... I want..





E30 M3 Trackard car.. Talked to the owner he has the engine worked to 230 RWHP up from 200 flywheel. Fun car I am sure.




Man I cannot describe the awesomeness of this car, if you do not know, then look it up.



Sweet bugeye Sprit..


Morris delivery truck, my Grandfather had a couple of these.


I love the Super 7's my sons wants one for a fun car...
