Howdy folks!
Good news tonight… Finally!!!
- Performance issues are now a thing of the past. I’ve had this blog moved to a load balanced hosting plan and we should be noticing some much improved load times.
- If you have any issues please let me know: [email protected] – and I’ll see what I can do to fix it.
The next thing I wanted to let you all know is that bowtie6 will be at the prestigious 2012 Euro Auto Festival at BMW’s Greer, South Carolina assembly plant this weekend. You can read more about the festival by clicking here. The last time I registered to show my car was there was in 2009. Incidentally, bowtie6 won First Prize in the TR6 class that year. 🙂
If you have never attended the Euro Auto Festival, you need to make a point to be there. There are many, many cool cars in attendance and the venue is amazing. The BMW Zentrum is there and you will see a huge collection of amazing cars. Among them, my friend Michael’s highly tricked out Volvo.
Michael has turned his Volvo into a real powerhouse and basically created a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It has a highly tweaked Ford Mustang engine in it (oh dear, I said the “F” word!!) and many, many cool enhancements. I promise I’ll have a full article (or two) here soon with more details about Michael’s ride.
This year’s “marque” is MercedesBenz. According to the AccuWeather this weekend should be sunny and very nice. So I plan to have the digital Canon with me and I’ll try to take as many pictures as I can. Stay tuned and I’ll try to put together a nice gallery of shots.
If you happen to be there please come by the Triumph section and say hello. bowtie6 is downstairs in the garage right now, all gussied up and ready to go. I have actually taken the hard top off and installed my soft top back on. This top was custom made in the UK for me several years ago and it is a little “different” from the standard soft tops: it lacks the side windows. Click on the “About” menu option to see what it looks like. At any rate, I hope to see you there!
