Since the farm truck will only hold two people, the Princess
decided to exercise her red ’94 Mustang GT.
We let Haley chose her ride….I think she liked to ride in the farm
truck! There were about 40 special rides
that visited the Q and one real special one was the red Jeepster with the Buick
V-6 engine, some very interesting hot rodding going on right there. There was a nice red slammed C-10 that I didn’t
get any info on….next time. A red ’31 Ford
sedan with a raked radiator….I have never seen anything like that and it piqued
my curiosity. One of my favorites was
the black BMW Z3 Coupe M….I know I know….a Beemer is not a hot rod. I just like these little station wagon like
coupes…. I also liked the black 1950
Ford coupe with the flathead sporting 3 2bbls….it was a nice throwback.
We stayed till the end then cruised to Freddy’s for a late
burger….sharing more of our crazy lifestyle with Haley.
Saturday we were going to cruise 60 miles one way to the Orange
County Cruisers monthly cruise at the Burger King in Orange, VA. We were a
little apprehensive about the weather, they were forecasting severe
thunderstorms MAYBE in the LATE afternoon.
When the appointed time came and no one else showed up to make the trek….we
decided to visit the cruise in N. Stafford at the BK on Rt. 610 incase the
severe weather materialized. We haven’t
visited this local cruise for a few years, something else is always on our
agenda. We found some good parking spots
that backed up to grass and quickly shut down the cars. Yes the Princess was driving her Mustang….Haley
was riding in the truck….again! hehehehe
The Princess & Haley scooted inside BK….to get some food while I
went to the two Gary’s running the cruise to say Hi. We caught up a little then a guy wanted to
talk to me about the farm truck. We were
engaged in a lengthy conversation when two other guys walked over to the
truck. We all started to talk about the
truck and their tide….that’s the way it’s supposed to work! Richard, one of the guys, abruptly said he
had to go? I had been talking facing one
way for about 45 min, I asked Richard why was he leaving so soon? He pointed behind me….I turned around and the
sky was black! It looked like a haboob,
the massive sand storms in the Middle East but black as coal. I said my goodbyes and retrieved the Princess
& Haley from the inside of BK then we made a mad dash for home!
We arrived about 10 min before the sky opened up and dumped rain
in trash floating proportions….whew… So
we didn’t have much of a cruise….time for pizza and a movie!
