05 Mustang GT. White with red stripes (Known as Peppermint Patty or the Candy Cane, depending on who you talk to:rolf)


Their classes, if I remember correctly, are pretty broad, I was really suprised when I won, as there are some FINE cars there. Last year there was a Grand National (bone stock) that looked like it got put in a bubble when purchased and never taken out. I mean it was SOOOO clean, I think it had 11K on the ticker. That car was just neat to see as you never see them unmolested anymore.

If you go to the photo section and look under "few more automation pics and coffee meet", you will see some HDR pics of my car. It really doesn't look THAT good, put Madison Dave is a master with his camera!!! The green fox is boosted91pony and the red Firebird is HeatSeekerWS6, both BCM people (and personal friends:thumbsup) as well.

Funny Dave doesn't take many pics of his car, but his is an 04 Bullit, very nice as well!

Borchardt's show like many have like all these specialized classes until you get to things built after 73. The it's 73 and up Street Machine. Which ends up being like 50 cars.

I know what you mean... but i think just because its sucha big show that all classes have a ton of cars... My dads class pre-?? whatever vettes always has 30ish cars or so... but its still a cool meet!!

I know they said they so many late model Mustangs showed up together last year that they were going to make them their own class. Which is cool. Cause when it's participent voting and a whole group shows up together it kinda skews the votes a bit.

Not that a plaque means that much to me anymore. My car never does well in shows anyways unless they are actually judged shows.

Judged has it's drawbacks as well I have found. Home cooking, no matter how it's done (either by participants grouping together, or judges voting for one of their club members cars) sucks. At least when it happens, it's usually totally obvious:rolf

FWIW-I didn't even know that show was going on until I was driving past it, lol. Glad I did to, so many nice cars. Does anyone else remember that GN??

No, it was parked right next to the building. There were 2 nice ones there though, I know the one you are talking about, it had some mods.
