Post by: EMSjunkie on March 17, 2007, 08:45:49 PM
Been working alot lately, it was a nice day here in Amarillo, and the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration was taking place over in Shamrock, TX. about 100 miles east of here so...........the Mrs. and I loaded up in the little hotrod and struck out for a day of fun and sun. 8)

there was a little car show goin' on, didn't realize I parked in the middle of it, just saw a couple old cars sittin there :? some of ya may recognize the place :D

one of the local C of C folks handed me an entry form and a pen, asked fer $10.00 entry fee, and took my money.

wound up winning "Best Street Rod"  :shock:  :-o  :lol:

didn't wash or wax it, just filled 'er up and headed out.

even a blind squirrel will find a nut once in a while

I noticed he narrowed the pic up a bit to make himself look more svelt.

But even taking that into account I thought he was heavier than that.

I kinda did that once as well.

Had a local car show and dance combo one weekend.

Just drove my 40 down to register and get tickets to the dance.

Went back home until that evening when I went back for the dance.

During the dance trophies were given out and my name was called for one of the peoples choices or something, a gumball machine.

Don't know who stuffed the ballot box, but do remember someone in the crowd wondering aloud about 'what car was that?' 'I never saw it'.
