So, decided to head to the Scrape By the Lake car show today at Prud'hommes Landing today and enter the car.
Honestly didn't expect to win any awards, hell until I spoke to a member of the SVTOA after we met up who was showing his Focus, I wasn't even sure what class I would be put in. It ended up being "Ford/Lincoln - Other"
The put me in with some rather "varied" competition, including a Ford Flex that was done up quite nicely:
and a Ford Contour, whose only saving grace to me was the fact that its colour scheme matched this boards default colour scheme:
There were some "other" FLM products as well, but didn't get pictures, either because they were too ugly to photograph, or because I got lazy :P
So after the awards ceremony starts a full thirty minutes late, I'm about ready to bail the hell out, esp. when they do all the low rider and imports first. I'm almost falling over at this point despite having nearly three litres of Coke Zero and they finally get to my category.
I'll let the picture tell the tale:
That's the second place trophy in my category, as soon as my name is announced (Correctly, shocking enough) my first words were "Holy SH&#!"
Sometimes it does pay to be different :P (In fact the SVTOA member I was with, his Focus ended up third in his category)
