    I'm finally getting around to posting my pictures from the roundup. Check out my Flickr link below.

    Since my Comet made it's debut at the Roundup I have been to a car show almost every night. I have already put almost 1,000 miles on the Comet in just three weeks. In Michigan you gotta take advantage of the cruising months. I may have to scale back a bit though or the wife will divorce me. She'll probably say it's either her or the car :hmmm:

    The Comet has already won several awards although that wasn't my focus or intent for restoring the car. I just wanted to relive my childhood days and enjoy the heck out of cruising, the awards are just a nice benny.

    At the car show I went to today I even got interviewed by the Detroit Free Press since it was a non Mustang and a Mustang Memories Car Show. So I might be in the paper tomorrow according to the reporter.

    So enjoy the pics I think I captured every car that was at the Roundup on Saturday. Also make sure you check out the surprise appearance by Neil Diamond!!:dance: I included a couple of videos of his performance.

    Thanks for posting these Mick! Awesome!

    You deserve the recognition, after all the hard work you've put in.

    Craig: Pretty good singing man! You actually looked and sounded like the Diamond! Ha!

    If you can sing Diamond, you could probably pull off a good Tony Orlando and Dawn too! (y)

    Actually....I do some Tony Orlando and Dawn, as well as many other artists from the 70's.


    Yes I did. I could sure tell it was almost 100 degree's that day!!
