Good Guys Rod & Custom show Loveland 6/5 - 6/8 2009

[twobjshelbys]

I went up for a bit on Sunday afternoon and got rained (and hailed) out. I took the Cobra and when I got there it was just high overcast. I looked around a little bit and went into the expo building to look around and when I came out it was raining and then a full blown thunderstorm. That was about 1:30 and by the time it quit at 2:00 virtually every car had left. The show was supposed to go to 3:00. Some friends went on Saturday and said there were about 3000 cars there.

I got a few pictures before it started raining.

Too bad it got rained out. Goodguys puts on a good show.

I left at about 2:00. The rain had mostly stopped - just a little drizzle. The tonneau cover kept the rain off most of the car but it leaked in around the door where there aren't any snaps and the floor was wet. I headed south on the freeway but there was lots of road splash (some from cars next to me) so I got off the freeway (which was a parking lot - people don't know how to drive in the rain in Colorado - and on to Hwy. 34 west hoping to get west of the storm and onto dry pavement. I didn't quite make it. It started raining pretty hard between Loveland and Berthoud, with a little pea sized hail. I could see a low lying heavy black cloud to the south. Once again I though going west would be good.

WRONG

I drove right into some marble sized hail. It didn't hurt the car any but is sure hurt my ears! I pulled under a tree and pulled the tonneau cover over my head.

Here is some that was still in the car when I got home.



Cobras are like motorcycles...

Too bad about the weather, Good Guys shows always attract some fine looking collectibles.

Glad nothing happened to the car in the hail. That would have sucked!

I thought about getting one to put as a spare car in the trunk of the Cobra. It stores flat so the top goes down. You can use the Ford Mustang Spare Timer Inflater kit to blow it up. It's kind of like HSURB's friend.

(OH, did I just Post Whore to my own topic???? Nah).
