They did their thing at with my car and the L78 Biscayne....I got cold feet so someone else did the talking for me ! Nice blonde !!! It supposedly airs in 3 weeks for the Elmhurst cable area.

I used to get a kick out of watching that show when I lived in Hillside. But now I live further west and Bill's cable waves have yet to make it out by me. I'd love to see it.

Holly cow! That red Biscayne was absolutely beautiful.

Had a great time at the show! Seen a lot of board members, and the site was well represented. Frank's dad is one of the nicest men I have ever met. Great stories he told me and the wife about being a cop for 28 years in Chicago! Finally met Frank as well(AKA: picture poster)! John's douglas yenko looked great! Something about the white color/black stripes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] The nickey ZL-1 was very neat, especially with it's unveiling in Chicago! Steve's COPO chevelle looked kick-a$$ with the torque thrusts. The freshly restored 69 Yenko camaro was one of the nicest restored cars I have ever seen. The paint did not look dry yet! He took the top gun award with the car, and deserved it. If anyone is skeptical about a green automatic car, this one will change your mind! Best part of the show is the end when the cars drive out and do burn-outs in front of the crowd. There was even a waterbox at the bottom of the ramp! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Here here. Let me join in and also say that Frank's Dad is a great guy. I was there with my 2 year old and they were kind enough to let him sit in their 2001 SS. The Magallon family is a class act. Thanks guys.

Now about that blonde...

As usual it was a good time at vettefest. It is always fun to meet new friends and talk to old ones. I also enjoyed driving the Douglas Yenko about 80 miles to and from the show, the weather was perfect. We also played around in the bleach box. All the super cars were great. Those new ZL-1 were to cool and roared like the old big blocks. Bill also stopped by and shot a piece, since he was my old nieghbor and I still help him out from time to time, when ever I have a car at Vettfest he stops by. Next fall should be a great show with all the super cars being featured.( Chicago area alone must have at least 25 of them).

ssl78- Was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. Saw the Yenko though, very nice. I was chasing around my 2 year old so I didn't get a chance to talk much. We're practically neighbors. Hopefully I'll get to say hi during the summer.

BTW Belair 62 was that your red drop dead gorgeous Biscayne? I really wanted to meet you. I wish I had known that was your car. That was one of the only other cars other than the ones posted that I took pictures of. Their was a beautiful blue sleeper big car as well.
