vintage, muscle, rare, fast

Good morning everyone!

No, I didn’t forget to post Friday evening. I decided to take a break from being in front of the computer which is everyday of the week for my college program (and no, having a full course load online doesn’t mean you are sitting playing xbox all day).

I did some much needed gardening which was well timed since there have been thunderstorms most of the weekend. I chilled with Jody and watched some good movies and I got to knit. This is my most favourite needle art and my top of the chart thing to do followed by a close second with photography and hiking.

Now on with the show, literally, a car show.

Anyone who knows me or reads my blog knows I love cars, so when there is an opportunity to attend a car show I’m there. I am not into the new car shows. I love vintage, muscle, rare and fast cars as well as hot rods. My only problem is getting good shots because lots of other people are there, also lovers of beautiful cars.

Through out my life I have always been around cars. My Dad liked odd cars, he had a Commer Cob van and a Morris Mini for running around. He bought a brand new 1969 Chevelle two-door for the family car, don’t think my Mom was too impressed, but my brothers were! Then as a teenager Dad bought another old car, a Mercury Parklane two-door hardtop, this is the car he taught me to drive in….our should I say big long car…..

Throughout my life I have been fortunate to have driven lots of different cars, the fastest was The Black Olds, a 1969 W-30 engine blued and balanced in a 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme two-door body, the biggest was an MLVW, a six wheeled truck I drove in the army, the family car when my kids were little was whatever their Dad fixed in the body shop or came across, the coolest being an Olds Vista Cruiser in my favourite colour deep red.

Well that’s it for today, late breakfast is cooking in the kitchen and I can smell the fresh ground coffee is brewing. After breakfast will be back in school mode to do some homework and hopefully once completed I can get back to knitting and finish my cotton tee shirt.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday, get outdoors, breathe in the fresh air, say hello to your neighbour and remember to treat others as you wish to be treated.
