Desoto

A fellow car enthusiast is seriously looking for a 1957 Desoto hardtop 2 dr or 4 dr (preferably 4), in almost any condition. He's been looking a long time, and could use your help. If you know anyone, or have any leads, please give Ralph a jingle at 207-839-4587, after 6pm please.

To the fellow who asked me at Shaw's Ridge concerning customizing his PT, I tried calling you, but got no answer :o) The info you were seeking is:

Adams Auto Customs

559 1/2 Portland Street

Rochester NH 03867

(603) 332-1255

In case you have not read the home page recently (tsk, tsk), then you missed that I would like to thank all my faithful readers by giving each and every one of them a FREE $100 gas card. Yes, I would like to, but unfortunately, I can't. But it's the thought that counts, right? :o)

The GOOD NEWS: 100% of any ad revenue that HotKarz might accidentally earn will be used to sponsor trophies for the folks, or for prizes during the year.

/

The BAD NEWS: So far, ad revenues this year came to $25. HotKarz spent over $160 on the HotKarz Super Cruise Trophies. So, we're in the hole. But it's comfy down here in the dark. (Is that water seeping in???)

Did I mention that Settler's Green will be using our Vehicle Safety cards this year? It shows they care, so don't be modest about giving them a "thank you". Unfortunately, the organizer has told me that the only class our car fits into - Special Interest - will be populated by every orphan that shows up. They do not give that class the respect they give all other classes. So, we'll be going to the Windham show. And if the Windham show is the same? Well, at least it's closer. If we are going to take an unfair beating, there's no point in wasting any more gas than necessary :o)

Not sure where we will go Saturday. Vineyard Church in Lewiston is closer, and we would likely see more old friends. The Kiwanis Show in Concord NH is a super show that is hard to beat (and they have a class for us besides Special Interest), but it's far away, and it is unlikely we'll see anyone we know. So, right now we are undecided. Last year, Kiwanis gave away over 100 door prizes (about $25 value each), and issued large, full goodie bags. The judging was reasonably fair, the field was very well laid out, and the folks were just great. But it can be a long day without lots of old friends around.

We'll see...
