Wish Me luck! 444-544

I just heard the details of a big local car show on the radio...it's TOMORROW and I have a ton of things I need to get done around the house now that I'm semi-mobile again.

For those of you who didn't catch it, I broke a whole iliac wing off my pelvis last November, and surgery wasn't an option. So it's still broken, no sign of healing yet. I can move around with less pain now, so I have several months of chores to catch up on.

ANYWAY...the big local car club is hosting a charity show tomorrow, all day long. Live bands, a 'poker walk' (which I'll stay out of!) and some awesome prizes including a Chevy 350 engine, a Chevy Turbo 350 trans, a complete 5,000 watt sound system, etc.

Luckily, I spent several hours last Tuesday washing the Volvo and getting the tree sap off it. Then I covered it, so it should be reasonably clean now.

At the moment everything is still installed on the car - I'm not in the middle of one of my week-long fix-it jobs that would take anyone else about 10 minutes.

The last time I entered my PV544 in a show I got 'Best Classic' against some great cars, including an incredible '66 Shelby Cobra (clone) and a gorgeous Model A.

The worst I can do is have some fun and talk cars all day, right? No way to lose this time!

Best of luck! Your PV looks incredible, and like you said: the worst-case scenario is that you will have a fun filled day!

I've envied your car for quite a while now. Have fun and don't do any climbing ;)

Hey, go with confidence -- it's a great looking car. Have a ball and the very best of luck. I'm also ready to go on the road, that is, as soon as the mud in my driveway dries enough to let me get to one
