Additional Coshocton Pics... I hope

Post by Brian Harris »

I'll start with some baby birds, and add a comment or two if I know anything worthwhile.

This is Greg Minnich's bird, one of the younger members and an intense enthusiast. He won BOS Driven among the baby-birds.

Image

Some additional friends I first met at the 2008 NE Regional, Doug and Karen's baby.

Image

One of these pair belongs to Mr/Mrs Runner, who had to overcome a leaking lower rad hose (his persistance and assistance from other attendees... Greg Minnich and Frank from BC to name a few) in order to make a 200 mile trip back home.

Image

This baby was extremely nice, though I dont recall if this was the E-code that won BOS-trailered.

Image

I think this was the high point trailered non-baby entry... AWESOME

Image

Here's some more Square Birds...
Image
Image
Image
Image

A very nicely detailed and tastefully creative SB that I first saw last year in Dublin OH.
Image

My fellow Michigander's in-da-house, the Elzinga's...
Image

Here's a few of the Bullet Birds competing...
Image
Image

This is Roger Noll's 63, who was very courageous and "volunteered" his car for the Judging Training/Seminar on Thursday.
Image

A couple of SR's... an "M" and *cough, cough*, the Rangoon is mine :mrgreen:
Image
Image

That's it for this string... I post another with the competing and display SENIORS, and then I'll upload/post (takes awhile) some pics of the Style Birds that I took.

Cheers... Brian

Here are the SENIORS...

George Ebel (sp?), with whom I had the honor of co-judging Operations, and his high-point 63.
Image

Three Style Birds and serious contenders...
Image
Image
Image
Image

Looks like I might have missed uploading the one between the two white vehicles... sorry
Image

And lastly for this string is a 1970 beasty, manly, musclely, etc., that I covet... Mark, you're gonna sell this to ME, right? :shock:
Image

Tomorrow I'll try to add the remainder of pics (mostly Style Birds).

Cheers... Brian

I wanted to give this one its own post. The convention couldnt have started worse for Jerry and Dusty... as there trailered into Ohio they came upon a road crew painting stripes on the highway... theirs was an open trailer, and well, you can almost imagine where this story goes.

They were troopers, as is the ilk of many car enthusiasts. They got to town, found a power washer, applied some loving care and sweat equity, and by sundown she was back to black.

So as not to under report the potential heartbreak, the whole side of the car, it's windshield was covered and in some areas CAKED with the white reflective ashphalt paint, along with the trailer and their show quality tow vehicle.

They were great peeps to be around, and they have my admiration... here are Dusty and Jerry and their beautiful Stylebird.

Cheers... Brian

Opps!!!! I mis-remembered his name as Jerry instead of Terry. :oops:

I have lots of stories (no dirt though) to fill a Scoop... and no, I'm not voluteering for your old job. :lol:

Terri, you need to change your sig... it's missing a title, and the vote was both official and final. ;-)
