BEANIE & THE B

[Riviera]

Took "Beanie" our 1995 Polo Green to a non-judged show at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum on Sunday. All different kinds of cars. A C2 with almost truck mudder tires on it, C3 and a few C4's. We were the only Z. Coolest cars, (besides ours of course) had to be the Hudson's - about 6 of them including a Hornet, Kommodore and a pickup. There was also a tricked out old Continental with hi-lo shocks on it. For a small donation to the Museum you could get your car's picture taken with two of the vintage aircraft - a B25 Mitchell and a Norseman. We really wanted to get a picture with the Lancaster Bomber as it is only 1 of 3? left in the world today, but as it was flying we couldn't get close enough. As a matter of fact just as Tripler was pulling the car up to the Norseman, the Lancaster fired up its engines. Like a Z, the sound of the Lancaster engines is unusual and unmistakable. Once you have heard a Lancaster's engines in full rip you can recognize that sound for the rest of your life. Tripler is going to post some pics.
