The Whiff Test

This is my first classic car although I have accumulated years of anticipation and desire for one far sooner. I have very fond memories as a child of driving around in my grandfathers 63 Ford Falcon Ranchero as he ran errands around my hometown. When he would go inside a store I would stay outside and play with his CB radio, turn all the knobs and inevitably slip behind the huge steering wheel and go on a quick day dream drive while making motoring noises through my flapping lips.

Welcome John!!
Welcome over to our website! Thank you for posting your event. We will be pleased to help bring a broader awareness about your show. I suggest, to help, please get as many friends and participants as possible to RSVP on your event and this helps us in increasing rankings on Facebook and major search engines. Announce our site at the show itself and have your happy participants post photos and stories, this helps promote your next shows, as well.
I am looking forward to some great photos (and maybe videos) of your Bel Air, as well as some of the various other vehicles you favor, and events you enjoy, too. We want as many photos as we can get. We can upload 100 at a time! Also, it is good to write about your "wheels" adventures on the blog, as we all enjoy stories from our members.
One of the real strengths of our website is the feature that any member can add events whenever they find one that we have overlooked! You do not have to "submit" through emails or the postal service, etc.
Please invite your family and friends as this helps the site grow and improves your social network communications. If I can help at all with any of your projects, call me at 770-883-0160.
Sincerely,
Mike Thies

A Judge’s View from Pinehurst: Sandhills Motoring Expo 2026 by Mike Thies

The 2026 Sandhills Motoring Expo Concours in the Village was one of those days that reminds you why we do this. Held Sunday, May 24, in the historic Village of Pinehurst, the event brought together more than 130 judged automobiles representing over 40 manufacturers, and from this judge’s point of view, it was a first-class field, a well-run operation, and a genuinely enjoyable day with owners who were proud to…
