It was orsum as you say. Its great to see how much care and attention, not to mention $$$$$ some people spend on their pride and joy. The Parade took nearly 2 1/2 hours to pass.

did anyone see "the" Toyota!
paulap, Apr 2, 3:02pm
I did look out for it.lol

But there was something there worse than that but I won't say what it was because the owners might be on here and be offended.

I took about 350 photos and I could have taken 3 times that amount.

And has anyone got a copy of the photo of the car backed through the back of the garage. I saw it at the Boat Club having a beer. Thought it would have been in circulation by now.lol

Im sure I saw "the" Toyota - it was pimped up as a 46 Ford or was it a Chevy!

I liked the Kermit Green light truck that a guy built from scratch. He started with 8 sheets of panel steel. It was running a 5lt Ford.

Umm that is the one I disliked.lol

Saw it in the parade and didnt really like it.
Had a close look at it later on and it was perfect. Very unusual but the guy built it from scratch, not just modified something else. Credit where its deserved.
