My Morgen's going to the All British Field Meet
« on: September 01, 2012, 01:01:51 AM »
Hi Folks,

This weekend is the All British Field Meet in Portland, Oregon.  A bunch of daft old bu!*ars get together and lie about how great their old British Cars are.  My Mini's and Lotus's are long gone, but lately I have entered some of my automotive paintings in the art show held in conjunction with the Meet.  This year I have a 1933 MG J2 and a 2005 Viper painting to enter.  And I have decided to enter my Morgen as a SCULPTURE!   I figure it will spin some heads as it whines through the display area.  :)

Wish me luck.

And yes, there was alcohol involved in the decision.  (Hey, I'm an old sailor)

TTFN,
Dennis

I'm sure your Morgan will be a hit. Did the grandkids finish painting it?

Post a pic or two when the show is over please.

Hi Folks,

Well, I am heart broken!  My Morgen was only judged into second place!   But I probably  should have expected that.  The featured Marque was MG, and some old geezer had a painting of a 1934 MG J2 that was chosen as best in show.  As luck would have it, I was the old geezer:)

On a more serious note, I really expected to get some inquiry about purchasing, and I had not a single bit of interest in buying one.  I got a lot of compliments, lots of  questions and smiles and such, but not one availability question. 

When I get the photos reduced to posting size, I'll share them. 

TTFN,
Dennis
