Weekend stuff

For anyone who's interested;

For old car and truck lovers....This saturday is cruise night at the Sonic on San Mateo in Albuquerque. It typically starts at about dusk. There's typically plenty of cars from several local car clubs there as well as a DJ playing music. People are pretty firendly and its a nice environment.
I'm hoping to be there in my 49 F-1
New Mexico Council of Car Clubs

On Sunday is the annual Albuquerque Museum car show located in the parking lot of the Albuquerque Museum (which is in Old Town in Alb). This is a free car show and features every kind of car imaginable. Everything from old one lung stationary engines, military equipment, stock restorations, original cars, full blown customs and most everything in between. This is one of my favorite car shows for the year.

Here's hoping everyone has a great weekend!

Bobby

Sunday's car show was great. I showed my Bronco, along with a handful of others in the NM4Wers.org "Jeep" club. Tons of cars and other nice scenery too!

Yea, it was good show. Not quite as big as last year though.
If I'd have known you were there I would have introduced myself. I looked at the Jeep stuff just briefly, the old Commando caught my eye as I have a 1967 Commando. I also liked the old long wheel based jeep with the steel top.

Too bad we missed each other, Bobby. My B2 is 2 tone brown and was at the southern end of the Heep line - next to the old fire truck. I had the suspension flexed up on ramps.

OK, I remember seeing it. Do you do alot of wheeling?

My sister and brother-in-law are big into rockcrawling and spend alot of time out in the Rio Puerco. They have a pretty amazing jeep.

I live close to Southern & Unser so the Puerco is real close. I get out when I can but it's never enough. I was in UT wheeling with HappyJack on this site last month, and in Moab with the Bronco Safari.

Who is your sister and bro-in-law?

I know what you mean, I go out to the puerco every so often but not enough

Brandon and Stephanie Rickerman. He hasn't had the jeep out much this year, he's been tearing up the dirt with his 4wheeler instead.

I'm near 528 and High Resort

Haha! I know them! H8PVMNT and Dirty Girl. They are on/mod a local board I'm sure you know of. Brandon's heep is pretty nice. He welded the spring perches on my 8.8. Small world!
