I'm giving away one free ticket to the Palos Verdes Concours this Sunday

[Hugh R]

First PM or post gets it. A $35 value, I'll give it to you on Sunday at the show.

[Zeke]

I'll take that and be glad to see the show!

[Hugh R]

We have a winner Milt! I'll PM you my cell phone number and call me on Sunday when you get there. If I'm judging a car it may take me a few minutes to get to you.

Just realized that this isn't in OT, sorry about that.

[Zeke]

I don't' do PM's, but I'm sending you an email (I hope you take them). Thanks a million!!

Too late I know, I'm just around the corner from that place!

For reference for next year, where did you guy have to park? How were the cars?

Geeze if I knew you were going to be in my hood I would have offered to buy you both a beer or a soda.

[Hugh R]

I get prefered parking since I'm a judge, its somewhere near the club house. Scott, its this coming Sunday, September 16 you can still make it.

Wish I were there in sunny southern Cal to drink it all in with y'all






Take pictures

I wish to publicly thank Hugh for his offering a ticket that wasn't going to be used. As it turns out, he had a couple more when I got there. Funny story about this: I called him cell to cell upon arrival and told him what I was wearing. I walked in from the parking with another gentleman who was wearing almost exactly the same green shirt and long tan pants. We were both hanging out near the will call ticket booth when I asked this guy if he was looking for Hugh R.

He was!! So there we were, the Bobbsey twins waiting for our host. When Hugh reached us, he gave us each a 2nd ticket and said do whatever you want with it. (So, you see, Jeff, you should have called and gone with me!) I gave mine to the next guy in line (who looked re markedly like Chip Foose. I even told him so. He was with his son and I like that, take your boy out to see some cars).

Hugh was very, very busy as a judge in the Jaguar section, particularly the XKE's. 2 hours later, he and his committee were still pouring over the cars and I really couldn't interrupt. So, I excused myself and moved on. These guys work hard at this judging stuff, I can tell you that. Better not have a single light not work!

The concours was stellar, but this was not a year for Porsche. None on the green. The dealer display including the Turbo cab was good. The rest was outstanding and Shelby cars (and the man himself) were a focus. You folks have to make this a destination next year. Get there early, it's been discovered.

It's for a very good charitable cause, as well.

[Hugh R]

Milt, glad you enjoyed it! Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk with you more. But as you said, we were very busy. Judging 9 cars in two hours is not a lot of time. I did the XKEs, and there were some nice ones. The difference between 1st and 2nd was 0.5 points, and the number two car got that deduction because of a burned out tail light bulb that the guy swore worked last night.

By the way Milt, you look just like your avatar, (seriously).
