Very Cool.. What an excellent show..... I have to take my hat off.. (wait.. Im not wearing one)..... to all the lowlife regulars who put this show on.. it was great. Excellent location, good vibes all day.. great friggin prizes, the best awards I have ever seen and the lining up for trophies and burn-outs was sheer genius..... This show was well organized and well run.... and Im hoping you guys have it next year also... now.. bottom line I hope Andy is 100% well by this time next year and wont need it and you can pick another worthy cause... but bottom line.... this show rocked the f*ckin' house.... Thanks to Max, Thayer, Espi, Jayson.. (all the red-shirts)and all the Lowlife, GFK and DHP regulars who made this show a total success.... Thanks for a great day ladies and gents.

We had a great time yesterday and made a good lump of money for Andy.
I'm sure there will be a better write up here soon, but in the meantime I wanted to let people know we still have event shirts available with all the proceeds going to Andy.

The cost per shirt is $20.
Get your friends together and buy to save on shipping costs.

I have medium through 3X

Drop me a PM here or email me greg@vintagewarehouse.com

I think the show was very inspirational, and showed what can be done when a few people put there minds to it. Thanks to all for coming out. I hope to be able to get everyone together again next year.

The only bad note was David's judging of "Showroom Floor"... I can't believe he didn't pick the 76 Porsche 356 :wink:

The show was a great time for a great cause. I was proud to be a part of it. The trophies turned out great.

Good time for a good guy. Glad i could help out. Seeing the cars that actually won a trophy was a good thing, smokey burnouts was the icing on the cake. Look forward to the next lowlife show, later, The Coconut
