RUFDRAFT Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 I just talked with Snoop and Co-Pilot! They're camping in NC - about 40 miles west of Asheboro (where our State Zoo is). Apparently, Co-Pilot is fending off wild animals while Snoop tends to the grille. (he wasn't sure what he had on the grille - but it was something he ran over on a trail) All are having a swell time. They said the trails could use some rain - as Snoop has covered wife and son in a thick blanket of dust all day! Both said to say "hey" to everyone. They'll be back on board here Sunday evening. Ruf - out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUFDRAFT Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Just got back from a car show in Wilson, NC. StangBanger (SB) and I caravaned out there this morning. Mostly a Vette show, but it turned out about 50/50 between Vettes and others. Good show - some nice rides. (perhaps SB will post some pics later) Judging was...awful. Nit pickers. One of the judges said my interior was "dirty." Another said I needed to paint my "rusty" fuel pump. John lost a few points for little tiny dirt here and there. But - we both scored! I got a Top Ten in my class (the Rufstang is 4 for 4 so far). John thought he hadn't won anything. They gave all the awards out and thanked us for coming. So John walked up to the tent to get his scoring sheets. Then he learned they FORGOT to give him his trophy! During our ride home, John's leading the way. We turn onto an on ramp for an expressway. John slows to a crawl. (Game On!) I pull my belts tight and get up on the wheel. He gets about 3 car lengths because he knew when he wanted to Leave. But - I'm pleased to say the Rufstang carried the flag. Mister StangBanger didn't bang this Stang! Now - of course - we'll hear his side of it!

Yes that was a different type of car show today to say the least. It had nothing to do with how well done the car was or its mods, only with how clean it was. Ruf and I still managed to take home some hardware though, even though they screwed up and didn't give me mine at the awards ceremony. I was wondering why they had left over trophies. BTW Ruf did make a new friend today (to the right of his car). You know how he loves the ladies. Fits in well with the Rufstang. BTW Ruf on our little on ramp excursion the skip shift got me. Since we were turning from a light on to the ramp I shifted out of 1st to soon and then had to go to 4th. Needless to say the car bogged down before it got going good. Ruf on the other hand was probably in 2nd. So he did stay with me up to about 80. Of course I was in 4th from about 20mph. More pics of Ruf's Ride from the show. And one of mine for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I like shows that don't judge on how clean your car is - but on what's been done to it. I'm sure today's show is like a Mustang National show where they get too fussy about nothing. I don't even care if I win - I mostly go to hang out and talk to people who stop and admire the ride. I did a lot of that today! Lots of compliments. Two elderly black gentlemen stopped at my car. One says, "Look at this Challenger!" The other says, "Man, that ain't no Challenger, that there's a Mustang." They continued their discussion after they walked away! Pre-teens using their camera phones on my car! Middle aged guys telling me how it looks like the one they had back in the day. One young blonde said, "Man, that car is hot." So was she. I was parked next to a 1970 Black TransAm - 4.9 Turbo. Immaculate. It was neat seeing the old and the new juxtaposed. One guy 4 cars down from me walked over to talk. He had a cherry '65 red Mustang. His daughter bought it for him 5 years ago after his wife passed away. She remembered it was the car he had when they first met. Time well spent. And the ride home with my Vette buddy was as good as it gets, you hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 He started in 4th gear. I knew it. Thanks for the pics, Big John. 4th gear..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StangBanger Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I didn't start in fourth gear. I had to shift from 1st to 4th because the Skip Shift got me. I didn't get it up to 2,300 before I tried to shift to 2nd as we made the turn. That is why I slowed down. It hardly ever gets me but it did today. I need to get that damn thing tuned out. Fortunately the Skip Shift only is an issue when you start from a dead stop. Your welcome on the pics. I thought you took more pictures than you did. When I downloaded them you only took 4 or 5.

RUFDRAFT Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I have a hard time taking pics with that camera. I'm not used to holding it out in front of me to center the shot. And - it's hard to see in the daylight. I'm used to an eyepiece. Did your car get nasty because of the rain? I had one of your club members with I think a red '95 or so Vette line up with me at Grady White's stoplight. I couldn't get him to run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
