Default Un-expected

I go to my share of car shows and meets. Never have the intention of winning, just love the cars and people. Today I was awarded first place in my class, I think it's a little more special because it's 9/11. It is my first, and to be fair not that much competition !!!! (I will take it however) The Gilmore Museum is also a special place !!!! (300 plus cars) Very sorry I am horrible with a camera so no pic's (I will work on that for next year)
