Unique Performancefest III - Sat, Oct 14 - 10a - 3p

I highly recommend you guys take a minute to hit this car show on Saturday (Sunday if it rains). Lots of really cool cars - no matter which way your tastes run, cool folks, and, uh... some guy named Chip Foose.

http://www.uniqueperformance.com/upfest.aspx

If you guys are so inclined, we can meet up at my office - 1750 Valley View - around 10 am and enter/park as a group. Not gonna try fitting a drive in to the same day again, though.

Sorry for the late notice... Funny how October sneaks up on ya!

I wish I would have come, but the rainy weather made for a great inside day. Was it all domestic muscle?

Nice irony... put the ropes up so that you don't touch my car, but feel free to stretch across take one of my cards off of the door. Geez...

The Lambo was the demo car for a mobile detailing service... There was someone there to pull the card off the door and hand it to ya! :-)

Yeah, it's easy to keep some 1500mi exotic that lives in a climate controlled garage looking like brand new. :roll:

Wanna impress me with your mobile detialing service? Show me what you can do to an '83 Corolla with 310k miles! :mrgreen:

Some more personal pics...

First the story. We arrived around 11am and slowly made our way over to where Chip Foose was. When we got there, there was a huge line with a closed gate at the end of it. I saw a guy in a Unique Performance T-Shirt and asked if this was the line to meet Foose. He said it was but it was closed as he was only signing for three hours.

I turned around and told Trina this and so we thought we might try to at least catch a glimpse of him. Another guy in a Unique Performance shirt overheard us and asked if everything was ok. I explained that my boys (and I) were looking forward to meeting Chip but it looks like we are too late. He told me to wait where I was and he'd be right back.

He came back a few minutes later and told us to swing around to the other side near where Chip was. He also told us it was the baby that did it. Katie got us in!

So he snuck us in at the head of the line and we met Chip and Chris Jacobs from Overhaulin' We didn't have cash on hand to buy a poster but Chip signed both boys shirts and even drew a hotrod on each shirt as well! We also got him to sign one of Katie's socks (she lost the other one at the event) for her scrapbook.

This made the boys day and needless to say I was pretty pleased too!
