Hello Neighbor!

Sonia, my Ranchburger neighbor.

Don't hit the photographer, Sonia!

Don't you just love it when you go someplace in The Big City and run into your neighbors? We do too. This morning Tall Husband and I went to Houston Coffee and Cars and there were Ron and Sonia, who live three doors down from My Ranchburger. Sonia is an actress (more about that in May.) So here she is... acting as if she were driving that cool 1959 Nash Metropolitan. To see more great rides at the Houston Coffee and Cars April gathering, click here.

Update: Classy Chassis 2009 Best in Show

This Morning, I just learned that this 1948 Delahaye 135 MS Faget Varnet Cabriolet, was awarded the 2009 Best in Show at the 2009 Classy Chassis Show here in Houston. This chic little French cabriolet is owned by Cathy & Jerry Gauche, Houston, Texas.

Tall Husband and I had attended the 2009 Classy Chassis Show early in the day, during the judging and left before the winners were announced. So this morning, the Best of Show was finally posted on the Classy Chassis website. Congratulations to Cathy & Jerry and thanks for letting us photograph your wonderful car.

Yesterday Tall Husband and I attended the 6th Annual Classy Chassis Concours d'Elegance, benefiting Shriners Hospitals for Children -Houston. The 2009 Classy Chassis event's featured marques were Ferrari and Packard. There were 123 entries according to the event catalog. It was a car enthusiast's dream. I fell in love with a little 1957 Porsche Speedster in champagne yellow. Fortunately, Tall Husband is still enthralled with his new red Porsche Cayman; though, I did get nervous when he enquired about the 2009 Bugatti (1.6 million U.S.D. for that baby.)

Come back tomorrow to feast your eyes on more classic cars.

A big Thank you to the event organizers, sponsors and car owners for a wonderful show.
