Hi Larry,
It is amazing and fun how many of those responces you get when you take a
Bugeye to a none British car show. We get quite a few at British Car Days
but a lot more at shows with Hot Rods. There is a simular show every
Thursday evening in La Mesa (eastern side of San Diego). The police put
bags, which say show cars only, over the parking meters for about four
blocks. Then they patrol the area to keep an eye on the show cars and chase
non show cars to the side streets. It is a lot of fun walking the street
looking at cars and having dinner at one of the side walk cafes.
