<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Xplantdad</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Again, I'd like to thank all the principals of this show for having the belief that this could be the best muscle car show anywhere...at any time. All you have to do is talk to any of the participants...to feel their excitement, passion and compassion.

For example, Ken's friend Ike (that he met at another car show-at a time when Ken thought he knew all of the &quot;car guys&quot; in his area), was amazed that his car was selected to be in the show...and furthermore...was astounded that he won gold at this show. Ike is now re-energized and has a GTX that he wants to get finished for next years show.

That..and the fact that I was privileged to meet meet Ike and can now call him my friend, too. What is neat about that...is Ken and my car guy 'universe of friends' basically doubled just being at this show.

Thanks again to Bob and Vicki Ashton...and all of the people who helped during move in...and volunteered their time. Bob, thanks for your generosity...

Finally-If you haven't been to this show...You REALLY have to go this! I hope you enjoyed the pics [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] </div></div>
Was nice to put a face to the name when Rusty introduced us Saturday. Said prayers for your daughter and you as I had just a little drive to be able to do so (9hrs).

Super job Bruce. You do a lot for this website and a lot for the hobby.

Thanks again.

Phil Woj.

This is A12Pilot's wife Kelly. She dressed in a 70's get up and did some modeling in front of quite a few cars. Spiced it up a little.
Here she is with Mike and his latest COPO restoration.

Re: Xplantdad's MCACN 2014 pics!
 

This show was truly amazing!!! I had just joined this forum after Phil had forwarded me the link about an &quot;A12 Bee&quot; coming in from TX in the barn find display only a few weeks ago, and during the show met so many people it felt as if I was having a family reunion with people I never even had met before! Truly a stand up group of guys, and my wife LOVED Mike and his latest restoration. Congrats to him on his awards!!!!

I wore my Yenko Forum name tag proudly and a few came up to me that had theirs on as well to chat. What a great time. You know, after a while, it was almost as if the cars weren't even there. I've never had that happen before at a show. An event I'll never forget [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I just can't get enough of looking at the back of a C2. I might have to get another, but a coupe this time.

I think this is how we all felt after the weekend was over. Focused on one thing, and everything around us was a blurr....

Loaded up and headed home. (sniff) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Hi Bruce, it was very nice seeing you and Holly! It must have taken you forever to post all those photos. It was nice reliving the car show from home. Thank you, Thank you

Re: Xplantdad's MCACN 2014 pics!
 

Bruce...thank you so much for posting the MCACN pictures.

For those of us not fortunate enough to make it events such as this, pictures are nest best thing reminding us what we have missed and what we can look forward to.

You &amp; Holly are having too much fun.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Xplantdad's MCACN 2014 pics!
 

Thanks Bruce, it was great seeing you and Holly.. Nobody does it like you.

Re: Xplantdad's MCACN 2014 pics!
 

Bruce,

Your coverage is STELLAR as usual, but seeing all this just makes it hurt even more. This is the first one I've missed and it's obviously the BEST ONE YET.

But given the history of this event, ...... next year will be BETTER, ....... and I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'"><span style="font-size: 14pt">WILL NOT MISS MCACN 2015 !!!</span></span></span></span></span>

Re: Xplantdad's MCACN 2014 pics!
 

Dennis,

We missed you on this round. Hope you can make it next year!!

The virus/bug that many of you experienced hit me Friday night for the second time in two weeks. We planned to leave home at 5 AM Saturday for the trip to MCACN, but I had to cancel at 4:30. It just wasn't going to be fun, ....... or even safe to travel. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
Like most everyone has said; this event is an absolute &quot;Can't-Miss&quot; every year, and not just for the cars, .... but for the fantastic people that attend, participate, support and PRODUCE the MCACN.
I equate MCACN to standing next to a Nitro car. You can see pictures, videos, hear about it, whatever ......... but until you're actually there you don't get the FULL EXPERIENCE!

Hats off to Bob and the entire MCACN Team. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I see a funny correlation here....Hmmm, No Dennis this year and No Furry People this year - Sure seems fishy to me [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
