Italian Car Day/ Pantera Get Together

Italian Car Day

From 10 to 3 today, they will be having this show. Me and Eric will be up there. I love Panteras. Anyone want to show up? I was planning to be up there between 12 and 1. My bodyman owns a Pantera and will probubly be up there.

Just saw that it's classified as a German Restraunt.

My wife and I just ate there last night with friends - took the Opel too since it is a German restaurant and all. The food is great and the beer very good! I didn't see any mention of this car show though! Why have an Italian car show at a German restaurant? Let's crash it with our Opels!

The Italian car show was fun and I got to have some more Oktoberfest beer that I was drinking the night before. Gene suggested it would make a great location for a future Opel meet . Lot's of cool cars old and new. Here's a few photos. Thanks for posting this Tony - it made for a nice diversion from all the college football on today...

Note: I had a nice conversation with the "Spider Lady" that owns the car whose engine is shown in the last photo (I didn't get a photo of the whole car ). She had those carbs gold plated, then rebuilt them, installed them, and tuned them herself. She also races her car.

Matt, I realize you are still pretty young, so here is something that you need to learn: Post pics of the Lady, not of her gold-plated carbs. Who cares about car stuff here anyway...

Now if it had been an Opel it would have been a different story.

Pantera's are cool. There use to be one in the small west TN town where I went to college.

The parking lot was a car show in itself.
