Multi-Marque Concours on the Green 9/7/13 NJ

[MMW]

While at the C&C on Saturday I was invited to this. Not my type of event but I'll give it go. Even gonna get my car judged. I hope the file I'm attaching works. It's the flyer if anyone is interested. Put on by NNJR PCA at the home of Robb Francis. I've invited my friends & hopefully they will attend also. No need to be a PCA member but I was told it is pre-reg only. Spectators are allowed also.

If you are logged in you can open it. It's a PDF file. I don't know why I can't get it to come up otherwise?

Just got back from this. Interesting event, about 100 cars? Mostly Porsches & about 30 others? I did not know what to expect but now I know not to have my car judged. Others spent hours cleaning & polishing when they got there, one guy had a battery powered vacuum & I did see someone with a toothbrush cleaning. Nothing wrong with that but just not my thing.

Some beautiful cars. I got a new digital camera so I was picture happy. I'll just post some of them.

Having trouble getting them to load on my end. Maybe files are to big? I'll figure it out. (had to resize) Thanks wifey!!

Hemi prowler, super nice.






Super charged 57 ford







Lunch. Awesome pizza from a wood burning oven in the back of the truck.

Here is the garage of the house we were at. I guess mine needs some upgrades. Yes that is carpet on the floor.





All in all a good day. Had some fun. Other cars that showed you've seen in the C&C thread. Ferrari, Arial atom, Maserati, etc. The only disappoint was no 914s at all. Maybe I need to get one to bring around.

Hey Mic,
That was a great group of shots, Thank you! Not a bad turnout of some really nice 356's. You're right the toothbrush and Q-tip crowd is a whole other world unto guys like us who get more pleasure out of really using their cars for the original purpose. BTW your car was no slouch and looked right at home with the rest of them.
Really liked that Prowler with the Hemi V8 shoe-horned in it! That's the way they should have built it in the first place instead of with that V6 nonsense! Great photos, thanks again! Justin

Interesting read on the build of the Prowler. It doesn't matter what kind of car/brand, good craftsmanship is awesome to see & appreciate.

Very Cool! What a labor intensive conversion that was; and done with care taken not to damage the paint. Lots of challenges to make that one happen. Thanks mic! Justin
