So I'm in San Diego this week for my job. 59diamond saw me post about being in San Diego and invited me over to look at his 1960 Bugeye.

All I can say is WOW! Makes me want to go out and find a Bugeye! What a cool little car and in just superb condition!
I'm attaching a few pictures! Enjoy! (And nice meeting you Bill)

It was a pleasure meeting you.
I can't take a lot of credit for the condition of the car. I am only the caretaker and most of the credit goes to Scott for putting together such a beauty.
I would also like to thank Bill M for helping me keep it in good condition.
It will be at the Polo Fields in Del Mar on Sunday for the combined opening day of polo and a car show to benefit Wounded Warriors.
The show is on the grass so it should be a great atmosphere.
Since I have owned 60 FROG it has garnered about a dozen awards and I hope to get another one on Sunday.

Well I won another Trophy. There were six peoples choice awards, among the various categories..I had the most votes in peoples choice so I got a bigger trophy then the others.
I was lucky I went by myself because this trophy is about 4 feet tall and I could barely shove it in the boot. N.ow my problem is convincing my wife to let me display it indoors
