Like when I meet new friends (like Herb and José, but not that tattle-tale May), and I get to help my friend, the cafeteria lady! Love, Junie B. Jones

the Whaddup:
I’ll be at Woodley Park, over in Van Nuys for a walk around and through vintage and not so vintage cars, of teh French and Italian varietals. This a non-judged show, from the rough restoration project to the serious concours offering. Some interesting things show up at this show, don’t be afraid to chat up the owners. That’s what they like to do, talk about their cars.
I have an old French car myself, but you won’t see it there this year. It started as a project, became a driver, and is once again a project. It’s the blue Renault R8 pictured above. If you see me driving around in it, say howdy.
If you don’t have a car, plenty will be for sale amongst the rows of gleaming machinery. The intent of this gathering is to provide a meeting place for those marques that get little attention at the fancier concours. If you’re looking to unload the garage or for that special part, check out the swap meet.
The registration fee is the same for both cars and swap meet spaces. A parking area is provided for trailers and tow vehicles. Food will be available or bring a picnic (no alcohol please).
