Took a break from the car today (or rather yesterday now) for my b-day. Went out to a friends place for some grilling and beers and then we all went out to the drive in movies at Vali-Hi in Lake Elmo. Played a little bean bag toss before the movies while putting back a few more beers. It was a good time. Now tomorrow (today) I'll do a little more on the car in the morning (scuffing and painting the wheel wells with rubberized undercoating), but since my brother can't make it out to help paint... my wife and I are going to hit up the grand old days over on Grand Ave in St. Paul tomorrow afternoon with our friends.
 
Happy 30th Mike!

Went to that car show this past Saturday and I couldn't believe the cars that were there. Name the car and it was probably there: New Laguna Seca Boss Mustang, Ford GT, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Every BMW in existence (too many), R8's, Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari 360, Aston Martin DBS V12, Aston Martin DB7, Vipers, MG's, Studebakers, Lotus Elise, Lotus Evora, Porsche GT3 RS, handful of Bentleys, and much more. Two SVT Contours were there, one was my brother's and the other was newb's. :)

Here are last months photos, hopefully the new photos are up soon: Photos |
I had a blast. I'll be going again next month!

There was a third SVT Contour there too, but it was in the overflow lot. I got there right at 8 and it was already full, I couldn't believe how many people were there. You're right about the amazing selection of cars, the turnout was really impressive.

I saw the Contours and if your Jag was next to them I saw that too, very nice.

I'll definitely be back again in the next couple months. If there's going to be another Contour presence there again you can count me in.

Here's some pics a friend of mine took.

Great pictures and nice SVT. I was told to get there by 7am to get a spot. I ended up getting there around 7:30 and it was half full. The silver SVT with the ASA wheels in your pictures is my brothers car. I was parked one section over in the British section. There were only 3 jags there including mine in the lot. A XJR and XK that were both in the 2000-2005 year range. I'm not sure how many cars were there but it must have been hundreds.
 
Thanks guys, my friend does a really good job with his photos. We'll hopefully be going back to get more pics again, earlier next time too. There was easily hundreds of cars there, and when some would leave more would come in so there was a good rotation throughout the morning.
 
Yea that was an awesome show! And sitting out front at the end watching everyone leave is great. Some sexu sounding cars!
Well I am busting ass trying to get my csvt done and painted for the july 2nd cars and coffee show. If we got a few people going maybe we could meet at mcdonalds down the block early and roll in together?
 
550 for May, that's pretty amazing and yeah I agree they topped that this time for sure.

I thought the leaving part was going to be pretty nuts but the cops were at every corner. I'm not for sure going in July yet, but if a group of you guys do want to meet up and go I'll definitely try and make it. It would be fun to have a mini meet for C&C.
 
Those 2 silver SVT's are looking great! I love those AR1's too!! I think they'd look even better on my car! :)

Maybe August is when we should all try to make it. We'd have like 6-7 nice tours wouldnt we? assuming me, nick and mike all get ours done that is.
