    It was, it was horrible. Even though I won the best "Old School" award, I probably wont go back. Get there at 7:00am to not even be judged until 4:00 PM and awards at 6:00PM after everyone left, literally. There were like 18 people there. Plus myself and my family all had to pay for "parking" each even though I also paid a $35 entry fee. $100, 5 hours of driving (in a BRAT with no AC), 11 hours of sitting in a parking lot (without a shelter for shade) dehydration and a nasty sunburn later I got a plaque in front of 18 people.

     

    I wont be back.

    I warned you about the sunscreen. :-) I went with my BRAT two years ago. It was way too hot for me and the whole setup was, IMHO, weird. I figured I was just too old. LOL.

    JCCS Neo-Classic Magazine Win for a BRAT

    in Members Rides

    The Japanese Classic Car show was a few weeks ago. I just wanted to share the award my BRAT won with the USMB members. We won the award from Neo-Classic Magazine (Japanese magazine). They picked their favorite from the 400 or so cars entered into the show. I guess it's a pretty big honor. :-)

     

    There is also a write up from Ben Hsu at Japanese Nostalgic Car. http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2014/10/17/2014-japanese-classic-car-show-part-06-trucks-vans-and-wagons/

     

    There was some really awesome and unique cars at the show. But there were only 3 Subarus entered, a Subaru 360 Van, a 1978 BRAT (a member here) and my 1979 BRAT. Would love to see more next year.

    Jump seats mounting frame

    in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's

    They come up once in awhile on eBay and Craig's list (and here, of course) but you just have to be ready with cash and be willing to spend it. When I see them I try to post them here so you guys/gals all know about it. 

     

    I had to buy a 2nd seat of seats (which were junk) in order to get the frame. But, now I have exactly what I want. 

    Remeber the 2 High dollar Brats?

    As I recall, the red one was relisted after the initial sale in that link. The description was made a little clearer as to the issues with the car. I think it sold for ⅓ less after that. 

     

    I do recall the one from an airplane hanger, a silver gen 2, selling for like $14K. I'm sure those links are in the "for sale on eBay" area but they're probably off eBay now. 

    I'm taking a survey

    in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

    Must be incredibly rare, didn't know there were any gen 3 verts, 4 doors, even more different. For those that liked the "styling" of the K car! ;)

    Oh, it's not a "vert". It's a glued on carriage top. The top, along with wire wheels and the luggage thing made it a Roadster", at least according to the badge they put on it. I presume it was after market.

     

    So, you need to take the survey!
