Yesterday was interesting

[DrEntropy]

Was invited by BCF member hottvr to attend a museum crawl at this place to meet some of the Alfisti in the area. I'm not too "clubby" and usually that's good for me. I must say the folks I met yesterday are not the types of owners encountered in past similar experiences. Great bunch, beautiful cars. A beautiful Montreal, several Spiders, a 124 and a V-6 Alfetta GT were the cars there.

I parked my rust-rat Spider well away from their examples to keep the rust mites from contaminating any of 'em. :wink:

An apres-museum stop for a bite and then the FUN began. hottvr followed me back to th' hovel, we parked my lump and went to visit a friend of his a few miles south of me, an Alfisti of the first waters!! an immaculate "drop-nose" early GT with a whompin' 2L, tweaked very neatly. Coulda used a drool cup, frankly.

All-in-all a great day!

...oh, and I know you guys'll start barkin' about no pix. I'll have to ask permission to make some images on another visit.
Ya gotta be patient. Mickey's gonna flip.

 

[Mickey Richaud]

Flip, indeed!

Color me green...

Sounds like you had a good day, Doc. The museum has an interesting collection for sure. We definitely want Alfa pics if possible in the future.

My yesterday was good, but in a slightly weirder way. Maybe it's best sometimes that we don't get pictures of our adventures...

[DrEntropy]

Okay, THAT'S frightenin'. :eeek:

You're braver than me, I'd be quivering in udder embarrassment. (somebody had to say it)

They were raising money for the Holstein rescue fund.

 

[DrEntropy]

And just who/what exactly are th' Holsteins planning on rescuing?

Hmmm??

Inquiring minds, an' all that. :smirk:

Well, if you can't laugh at yourself you can at least laugh at me.

We do have a website (no cows involved):

We were playing for the 12th annual Cow Ballet:
https://www.mountaintownmusic.org/

This is a fund raiser for Mountain Town Music, and organization that puts on live music performances all around the Park City area. They've done great things for the town, and Marty and I have done many shows for them. An organization we support, even if it requires a cow suit on occasion.

Yup. Took a ride up Bald Mountain Pass (10,700') and there is already some snow at that elevation.
