[JPMINITUCSON]

Saturday, January 12th
UPDATED 1/5/08 to show new lunch stop and schedule

It's time for the MADMEN's annual trip to the Tubac Collector Car Show this Saturday!

Here is the schedule:

9:00 - Meet-up at the Home Depot Parking lot (near the Chevron Station), I-19 and Irvington.
There is a Starbucks and McDonalds nearby so everyone can get some Java before we leave for the show.

9:15 - Leave for Tubac.

10:00 - Arrive at the Tubac Golf Resort site of this year's show. With over 400 antique and collector cars in attendance
we are allowing more time to see the cars and talk to the exhibitors.

1:00 - Lunch at the Old Tubac Inn, 7 Plaza Rd, Tubac http://www.oldtubacinn.com
We are reserving an area in the Dining Room for the Club so we need to get a head count as soon as possible. Please reply to this post so we can tell them how many to expect.

2:30 - Fun Run to Nogales (AZ) and the Arizona Vineyards. Hopefully no river crossings this year. (Dave, you can leave the pontoons at home!)

3:45 - Depart for home

So, remember to bring some cash for entry to the show and for lunch. Also, bring your camera. We want the RATPACK to drool over our pictures of this great car show.

If you are coming, please reply to this post.

See you all Saturday morning!

Beautiful Day! Over 500 cars at the show displayed on 26 acres at the country club.


We met new members Dorothy and Rex and their Riley 1.5 (sorry I thought they had a Riley Elf). They also have a new MINI. Here is a picture of their Riley:



Here is a beautiful classic:


The Wedge!


Most understated car at the show:


The classic "T", a car that gets better mileage than 50% of the cars in the USA!






1948 Ford Anglia


Mike looks over the MG's.


What a shine!

At lunch we ran into a gal who was selling her Kawasaki. Her name is Ms. Cooper. Had to take a picture next to Smallville.


A nice 2CV delivery wagon:


On the way to Nogales we passed Wisdom's Restaurant in Tumacacori. And they have a giant chicken out front. Must eat there next year!


D.J., Dave, Barney, Jim, Teri, Marsha, Jon


and Patty at the Arizona Vineyards in Nogales.


The wine was great and very reasonable in price. The outside is funky (old and delapidated) but the inside is kinda neat! We saw them bottling some 2008 red stuff.


In the parking lot they had their own car show going on. A couple of Jag's that only needed a little rubbing compound and some clay bar to get them concourse ready.



We took the back route home through Patagonia, Sonoita and Vail.

I can't stress what a great time we all had and hope those who could not make it will mark their calendar for next year's show, January 23, 2009!!!

Looks like an awesome show, and a great time, I'm sorry we missed it. I spent most of the day giving CoopahS some TLC time. Time I'd rather have spent on the road for sure, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Thanks for all the pics Jon!
