Show Time



Today was the annual
Orange Plaza Car Show. My parents entered their '32 Ford (pictured above), and a couple of my friends came down to check out the show. My oldest friend Mark came down from Glendale in his '64 Lincoln Continental, and a bit later, we met up with my local friend Faryal. I hadn't seen Mark in about 5 years, so it was good to see him after such a long time. He had to leave a bit early, so afterward I had lunch and a nice conversation with Faryal. She's a cool chick. ;)

After the show, my parents and I went to Felix Cafe, the Cuban restaurant in the Plaza. This place is a local favorite, and for good reason. We then took a cruise around Old Towne Orange in the '32, checking out the beautiful Craftsman, Victorian and Spanish style homes. It was a relaxing day of cool cars, good friends and classic Orange.

Decisions, decisions.

And here I thought you'd feel honored. How ungrateful. ;)

Ok, how about I send you a couple of other pics, and you can tell me which one you like best, or hate least.

Thanks for posting the photo of the car. It was really a great day. The forecast of possible rain made us nervous and we did have a little mist on our early morning drive to the event (try 5:30 am)but the rest of the day was very comfortable. We had a good time seeing Mark after so many years and it was fun to know he likes the old cars too. Nice meeting Faryal too. We had a good time at the Cuban restaraunt as always. Let me see more photos you took of the car when you have the time. Mom
