Hershey 2010

Some pics from the Hershey swap meet. Music is apropos, don't ya think? Great weekend, met lotsa people, had a great drive down with Steven (the Enforcer with his 997 GT3RS) and Eric with his 3.2SS RS clone, complete with special cams .... cars cleaed out of the way when they saw the barely legal GT3RS behind them.

Irish Rally Navigator - Berry Meade for president

This guy is so funny, he deserves to be president of ireland. My friend Curt Egerer, in Michigan, discovered the comedy genius of Barry Meade here, and I hope i am helping to popularize him, at the same time.

Metro PCA Spring Fling @ Collectors Car Garage

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of going to Bedford Hills, NY, to attend Metro PCA's spring fling. Got there early, circa 8am, for a show starting at 9h45am (I know, but I was just checking out the joint and figured I'd grab a bite of breakfast in town). Well they had already started, so I pull up to park. Dude says, you have to turn around and park in town and get the shuttle bus. I say, why can I not park here. So he says "do you want me to ask?". I said sure, please. He gets on the radio and says "O'Donoghue doesn't want to park in town, he wants to park here." What a troublemaker I am. Anyway guy says park in rear as people's choice is in front. No problem. Just an inkling of PCA-itis that annoys people, I think. Anyway, they did put on a good show and credit is due to organiser Lee David Auerbach, who is a great guy. He is in one of the pics, when the 2010 GT3RS arrives ... he has a beard and is of generously stocky proportions. Met Jim Garfield as planned. John Lamorte was there with his viper green 73RS. Oh baby, what a car. Star of the show.

Can you say quack, quack !!! Got a nice ducktail shot ...

Met some other guys ... Gerry Murray with his fab 993 was there. Also met Rich from Long Island, and his lovely wife Elke. Working on him to join us at Hershey in 2 weeks.
After it was all over, myself and Jim headed over to Katonah, to have a beer+burger @ Oliver's pub. Very decent indeed. Guinness for me and Pleasantville Pale Ale for Jim.

Here is some video of all the pics. Hope you enjoy.
