Fenders on Front Street
I happened to be perusing the Cruzin' Magazine calendar this afternoon and realized the annual car show along the main street in Issaquah is this Sunday. I've always enjoyed this show for its variety of cars.
Just thought I'd mention it in case y'all were looking for something to do.
Besides, it gives me an excuse to show off our test session on Friday with the Blue Blaster. Somebody filmed it and put it on You Tube. No big deal other than the engine held together and we got to try a couple different props. If you have no interest in hydroplanes, ignore me. But I hope I'll see some of you on Sunday in Issaquah.

Went to the annual Fenders on Front Street Show this morning. Wonderful assortment and variety of cars. Lots of the local cars I'd seen before, but even at that there is so much to see. I have to say hat having this on Fathers' Day is a great idea. Saw lots of, presumably, Dads with their kids telling them all about the cars.
There was some activity over at the XXX as well, but I didn't get over there to see what that was about. Great weather too.

I wish I had spent more time there myself. There were a number of cars I found of particular interest and would have liked to talk to their owners. Like that Volvo P1800, the little Porsche 550A and the Triumph people. The DeLorean group was interesting. I used to wonder how these people used to pick out the best one in a show. I suppose they have their process, but they all still look alike to me. Interesting cars though and worthy of any show.
Oh, Keith, Thanks for the photos. That Auburn replica must have a story associated with the paint job.

It was a great turnout, John. Almost too much to see everything and then there was the near-perfect weather.
