Mike of Twisted Minds Bicycles put out the word that he was looking for sponsors to get some kids to the San Bernadino (San Berdoo) Lowriders show

Mike covers all the expenses of getting 12 kids from San Diego to San Berdoo so they can go see the Lowriders show, and maybe that will inspire them to something very cool in the arts, automotive, or car show hobbies.

So while he was at the San Diego Car Club Council meeting (2nd Tuesday of every month in the San Diego Auto Museum of Balboa Park) he told us about the three car shows that the Lowriders Car Council is having this year (more to follow in another post). When he told us he's covering all the hotel, food, and gas to get a dozen kids to the San Bernadino Lowriders show... and said he's looking for sponsors for the 8 kids he doesn't have funds for, and that is when
Vince the quick thinking put up his hand and motioned for the Car Council to sponsor the 8 kids. How effing cool is that? Right on Vince! Bravo!

The rest of the members wasted no time in seconding and voting unanimously to fund the kids to the show. Right on, that is how we do it!
Cheers for Vince!

First Tuesday of each month is the Car Club Council meeting, and I made good use of early arrival to get these, from the Museum (Balboa Park Auto)

A quick photo of what the meeting looks like, only imagine 5 times as many people being out of the frame.

These pieces of artwork are on the walls of the meeting room, and the display cases are against one entire side of the room




These display case photos are extra extra large if you want to click on them for details. Nearly all photos will get 1200 wide x 900 tall pixel size, these display case photos are 950 wide x 1800 tall










I'm not sure which I like better

The following series are focused on the temporary motorcycle exhibit at the museum.




Here are a before and after... to show how much of a bland photo a camera takes, and how a minute with photoshop livens it up.






The following series is a good overview (literally from the upper floor balcony) of the regular displayed vehicles at the museum
