Nice to see TeriAnn back, I missed your always interesting and
accurate responses.
The UBSCC had a great showing at the Sacramento Shriners Concours, 17
LBCs, weather was perfect, Casper's only problem was me getting all
the bugs off the front after the drive from Wallace. There were
some great cars there, my personal favorite was a 1953 300S Mercedes
Convertible...awesome after a complete restore...now if I only
win the Lottery...:-), several great Bentleys including one...wait
for it...one SideScreen Convertible!!! I kid you not...the doors
were cut down just like a SideScreen Triumph...now we know Bentley
was not above copying a great idea.
A very nice feature was the " parade of clubs" at the end of the
show, our 17 cars were paraded around the paddock, and each one
was introduced. Gordon Temple's 1949 Triumph 2000 won 2nd place in
the Concours...don't know who won, but my bet was on the 300S.
There were 3 TR3As in line before Casper, introduced as TR3s,
when it was Casper's turn he was first called a TR2...I held up
3 fingers and it was corrected to "a very rare TR3A"...you just
can't win sometimes...:-)
