Ya that was really tough but in the end I managed to grab that throphy

Each club had their own activites for their members, the Pontiac Owners Club I'm a member of had about 40 cars show up (including one more TTA) and we had 3 categories, best engine / best paint / best of show ....

Thanks, much appreciated. Always been my goal to keep a stock appearing look and I'm not of a chrome / bling guy so fairly easy to do

Took years of education though There's always the "V8s are better than V6 ... I can get my V8 to run qucker / faster then yours ..." ... but over the years I've written a number of TTA articles for the club magazine so they been pretty good educated and it paid off apparently

Very cool video Jan! What's with the accents though? :cowboy:

Yea I know they do talk funny on this Island ... the further up north the harder to understand them

Any video's from your shows would be great if you can share!

Very nice, Jan. Congrats on placing!

My GTO or Trans Am (if I get it in time) won't be able to place at my show even if they are the coolest cars there :thumbup: because being the pastor of the church it would not be good for attendance next year! Sooo ... someone else's Pontiac will have to come and steal the honors ... (hint KIDSIXPACK) lol
