Church Show

My neighbor Bruce invited me to bring the Trump down to a monthly show his car club is helping to organize (Bruce recently gave me a Triumph clutch puller left over from his Triumph days). There was some cool stuff there, I didn't take pictures of even 20% of what was there. Ended up running into Norton Mike there & my bike ended up parked next to his Ducati 1098 which was kinda fun. Olivia was very well received.

One of my absolute favorites, a 1947 Offenhauser sprint car.



Next up, met a really interesting guy named Lee that came in this '67 Sunbeam Tiger. This car is kind of a hot rod. Ford 302, hand fabricated steel hood etc. He has another with 9,000 original miles, probably the most valuable Tiger in the world.



Lee had a rather amazing story about "smuggling" his Mexican bride into the US as a young LAPD officer on the back of a Norton Commando. His wife later forced him to buy an identical Norton to restore and display in their living room. Apparently the guy selling the 2nd Norton wanted an unreasonable amount for it but Lee's wife talked to his wife in order to "see" that a deal was made.
