Genesee Idaho Classic Car Show

Here are a few of the fabulous cars that took part in the Genesee Idaho Car Show on our annual Community Days celebration.

Charley has provided me with the photo's, you all remember Charley...the guy with the amazing Chevelle (pictured below). Thanks for the photo's Charley and for all the hard work you put into the car show!

Anyone interested in attending the Genesee Car Show, it is always the 2nd Saturday in June. I will post dates and deadlines here on my blog along with all contact information for entry applications as the time draws near.

If you ever get the chance to visit our little town, you will step back in time. Genesee is a great place to live, it's like Mayberry...everyone know's each other and we look after our community. If someone is sick or needs help, meals show up, yard work gets done, farmers have even pulled together and harvested fields for someone when times are hard. I love it here.

I will post more pictures from the car show...there's lots to see!

Let the shopping begin!

Hi Readers...yes, I'm still alive, forgive me for my absence.

Well with Thanksgiving Day firmly behind us here in the States, I can now focus on Christmas!

I found the perfect car to compliment my Cougar XR7! The color doesn't clash, in fact they would be a perfect match. I'm adding it to my Christmas "wish" list, heck, I'll even limit the list to just this one item :-)

1990 Jaguar XJS:

Original MSRP- $55,500.00

Standard Engine- 5.3L 263HP V12

Torque- 288

Do I care that it only gets 13-18mpg? Ummm...NO! It's a Jag, a convertible and I would love every second of driving it!

Ho, Ho, Ho...Santa, I hope you can fit this item into your bag, in fact I'll make it easy on you, just go to Barrett - Jackson "The Worlds Greatest Collector Car Auctions"

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Jaguars. I know about all the "costs" with parts and servicing nightmares and all the other "warnings that fly out of a man's (sorry guys, but it's the men that throw out the complaints!) mouth at the mention of "I'd love to buy a Jag"...but none of that matter's when you want a car out of sheer joy, love and admiration of the beauty, design and technology that went into the vehicle.

So there's my Christmas wish :-)

I hope all of you are happy, healthy and enjoying every day that you are given.
