| Check out that weird sight on the right; an outdoor theatre loaded with Volkswagons in the day time. No they're not waiting for the premier showing of HERBIE, it's the inaugural VOLKS DOWN in Texas car show exclusively for you guessed it, Volkswagons. The small scale "Bug-In" was held at the nostalgic Showboat Drive In Theatre in Hockley, Texas just NW of Houston. Every make and model and conversion of the popular car was there and although it was a fairly small show, I truly enjoyed myself as did the participants themselves. Hope it makes it back next year. Click on the thumbnails for larger images. Enjoy! |


| You stay on the road long enough like I do and you'll see stuff like the ALL |
| AMERICAN Monster Truck and a wild Fuel Altered inspired '23T Roadster. |

| In case you haven't figured it out yet, I ENJOY LIFE! Yes rodding and racing are a big part of it but I also enjoy my family, my vacations, collecting diecast (among other toys), good music (ZZ Top) and of course eating, especially Barbecue. How much? Well if you check out the Texas Monthly cover on the left, they list the Top 50 Barbecue Joints in Texas (plus a handful of honorable mentions) and I frequent them whenever I get a chance, no matter what the mileage. Of the Top 50 only five got the maximum points and they eventually named one the Best in Texas. Before the magazine was published, I had already been to two of the top five (both in Lockhart) and since then I've "dined" at all five. I just started taking my camera with me and the four pictured below (click on the thumbnails) are my latest. The bottom two are located in Eagle Lake and East Bernard (both Top 50) while the top right photo shows Louie Muellers in Taylor, one of the Top Five. The number one Barbecue Joint in Texas for 2008 is Snow's BBQ in Lexington (photo top left). Interestingly enough, Snow's is open only on Saturdays beginning at 8 am until the meat runs out, usually around noon. Luckily I got there at 9:30 am after a 140 mile one way trip. |
| When you're on the road, you never know what you're going to see so I'm glad I now take my camera with me. After leaving one of the Barbecue places, my wife wanted to stop at a store in Giddings, TX and I just happened to see this well done, four-wheel drive Camaro in the store's parking lot. |

| I'll bet every one of you out there, especially you racing fans, would love to have this Dodge Polara in your garage. Hemi powered, Pro |
