Show: Early V8 Club Ford Picinic

**pbrown** · May 24th, 2009, 04:27 PM

The Early V8 club sponsors a car show in Bellevue each year. This year is will be on June 7th. This is coming up soon so get your Falcons and Rancheros tuned and cleaned. We once had 14 cars at this show once. Let's see if we can do it again. It is very informal and you don't need to have a show car to attend. All are welcome.

We will meet at the Factoria Burger King for breakfast and then drive over together. I believe the show fees are $15 this year. Please try to attend. It is always a lot of fun.

I will be there with one of my birds... This a a great show/picnic where daily drivers are more than welcome. There are also plenty of trees to take refuge against the mid-day sun.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to make it this year...

I'm having some minor surgery late afternoon on the 5th and doubt if I will feel like standing around all day less that 48 hours later.

I'm bummed for sure. Always have a great time at this show and have been to the last 6 or so. To everyone else who's never been...DO IT! It doesn't matter what condition your car is in. If it's drivable, it will fit in just fine.

Can someone commit to taking lots of photos and maybe write a story for the newsletter?

Thanks John. I keep toying with the idea of trying to make it but I'm afraid my live-in nurse (aka wife) wouldn't allow it.

Plus I have Monday off work for recovery and my boss will be at the show so that wouldn't look too good.

Take lots of pictures and hopefully lots of new members will be there to talk Falcon...

I don't plan to try and sneak my car in, John. I'd think they're making enough money off of this show from the car fees not to charge spectators - I don't know of any other show that charges spectators. If it were 5 bucks for show cars like it used to be, I'd drive my car in. This is event is getting too pricey for the (non) working class, imo. And besides, I do have a class there next week I need to go find the location for....

I can go to free car shows at the XXX any weekend - I'm mainly going to see you guys since I haven't been able to make it to meetings.
