The weather was fantastic here in Austin this past weekend and there were a TON of car-related events for Veteran's Day. I managed to go to three good gatherings and had a total BALL!
Here's a few pics below and some links to all the picture albums on Facebook. I put these all in public albums so you do not have to be a Facebook member to look and enjoy, so feel free to look if you want. You may have to copy and paste the links, just an FYI. Some AMAZING vehicles!!
Saturday morning I got up early, tossed my folding chairs into the Roadmaster, and the boys and I drove down to Bastrop Texas for the Veteran's Day Car Show. They closed off the entire downtown, and it was still not enough, had cars spilling over into the neighborhoods surrounding the downtown. Amazing Show. Some highlights were the three gorgeous 55 Cadillacs, the 53 Caddy Fleetwood with factory air, working! An entire line of 55-60 Chevys. 73 Dodge police car. 71 Hemi Challenger convertible. 58 Desoto convertible. 60 Dodge Dart with Red Ram intake. 57 Bel-Air Fuelie, Grand Prix 2+2, and on and on! Around 350 cars at this event!

Saturday night I parked the Roadmaster at home and the boys and I got in the '81 Citation X-11 and took it down to the Top Notch Drive-In for dinner and hanging out. First time I'd taken the X-11 to the Top Notch on a Saturday night. Always good food, cars, and fun at the Top Notch!
The owner of the Top Notch got some Dazed and Confused movie props and they are now on the wall inside the dining area. Cool!!
I love the Top Notch on Saturday nights! Album here:

This was the LARGEST Cars and Coffee yet. Great weather, all the paved lots full, the gravel lot full, and even a lot of cars in the parking garage. WOW! Comedian Steve Harvey was there in his red Porsche Carrera GT. Ha!
The ONE time I drive the Camaro and not the Roadmaster and THIS is what I see at the entrance!!! CLEAN '96 for $4500!
Took the scenic route through the hill country home after the show. 73-degrees, sunshine, T-tops off, FANTASTIC!!
Here is the full album from Cars and Coffee Austin. TONS of cars, so much fun!

There was a huge show for both cars and airplanes at the Georgetown Texas Airport on Saturday at the same time I was at the Bastrop show. This was closer to me but I missed the registration before they filled up. The show was restricted to 250 cars only, the rest were planes. My local car club posted photos, here are some of my favorites, and the link to the entire album is here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.292253970971020.1073741844.239990706197347&type=1&pnref=story
AND this is one event that I HATE that I missed! The "Three Sisters" Road Rally. A bunch of folks from the local car group met up and headed into the Texas Hill Country this past Saturday to drive the Three Sisters, or the Twisted Sisters, depending on who you ask. I've ridden motorcycles on these a few times, but never driven them. Sharing these pics from the local forum, it looks like they had a BLAST. Great views, great weather, great roads! I'm going to make the next trip they schedule for sure. This group needed a Roadmaster Wagon! Ha!
