Cool barbershop in LaMesa, Dapper Jays, hot rod style in every way

 I haven't been in m any barber shops, because about 1/2 of my adult life was in the military, and those military barber shops were without any adornment of humor, pride, or history
 I've never been in a shop that is a straightforward place for guys to hang out til a chair opens, have a beer, read a Playboy, Maxim, etc etc


Can you see what is wrong in this picture?


Car and bike fans urged to check out Cleveleys Classic Vehicle Show

FANS of classic cars and bikes are being invited to Cleveleys later this summer for a full-throttle show in the seaside town.

The Cleveleys Classic Vehicle show will see the one of the main streets in the Lancashire resort, Victoria Road West, closed off from 10am on Sunday, August 19 for a gathering of classic cars, sports cars, American automobiles, hot rods, modern classics, kit cars, motorbikes and specialist vehicles. The entrants, of which there are more than 100 registered for the show so far, will be parked along the main street up to the town's promenade.

Russ Larcombe, one of the show's organisers, told Life On Cars:"The show's aim is to draw people back to the town to enjoy a great day out amongst the displays and entertainment and visit the impressive and modern sea front promenade at Cleveleys.

"The event is being managed by The Thornton Cleveleys Association of Trade and commerce assisted by ukwheelsevents and the Lancashire Vehicle group. It is supported by several local businesses."

In addition to all the automotive action live music from a variety of bands will be performed throughout the day, while over the beach and weather permitting there will be an air display of radio controlled aircraft .

To register your vehicle or to find out more about the event go to the show's official website at www.thecleveleysclassicvehicleshow.com

Some cool things I found at Sping Fling 2012



 Tubs and huge Mickey Thompsons. Awesome



 the above is a 66 or 67 Charger speedometer, the design is unsual among speedometers, and looks so cool when lit up in the dark

















Compliments to the guy that fixed up a 72 Barracuda... but why the cartoonish exhaust? Looks like something from "The Mask"


 Thank the car gods he didn't put on a wing of any design. This airfoil is fine


Kenny Wayne Sheppard brought both Mopars to Spring Fling
