Week 26, 2024 | 33 Shows | All Porsche Show | 18th Annual Motor-Head Show | Freedom Fest | 27th Annual New Richmond Farm Days Car Show
June 24 - June 30 | For the last week of June 2024 we have 33 opportunities to show off your ride including the All Porsche show in Roseville Minnesota.
Welcome Show Junkies
After the severe drought of 2023 we needed the rain … but not every day PLEASE.
And let’s not mention the mosquitos, knats, ticks and various biting bugs.
Anywho, we’ve got another great week ahead with 33 shows scheduled (weather permitting).
On that note those attending the Henderson Roll-In shows will need to enter from the east on highway 19, the road leading into Henderson from highway 169 is underwater.
This week also features 2 events tailored to those with a fondness for foreign sports cars.
It’s Italian Theme at the Cars & Caves event at the Chanhassen AutoPlex (donations benefiting the Ronald McDonald House) and there are several garages with rare and beautiful exotics on display.
And for those of you that love the purr and gentle roar of the exotic sports cars, you won’t want to miss the All Porsche show in Roseville this Saturday. The show is sure to bring out the rare, exotic and seldom seen cars by Porsche.
I remember the first time I drove an exotic sports car …
It was on a trip to northern Minnesota, I was maybe 17 and the car was a 1975 Porsche 911 (turbo?) brown with gold wheels, custom flared wheels wells and it purred like a slumbering cheetah.
And wow did it attract attention as we motored through small towns greeted with smiles, waves and the occasional honk or hoot.
Along the way on a 4 lane road the need to make a quick decision occurred. A slow moving vehicle pulled out into my lane followed by another into the second lane.
Well the itch needed scratching and with an approval from the owner, seated alongside me, that sounded something like this ..
“If your gonna do it then DO IT NOW” … and with that the go pedal moved downward and that little car rocketed forward with a growl and the startling yet controlled acceleration of a cat on the chase.
And almost without input the car darted through the quickly closing gap and we were in the clear again.
The grin on my face must have been a mile wide as I recall a low chuckle from the passenger seat.
Which was shortly followed by a question of our current speed … 85 mph comes on quick.
It was an exhilarating ride and over far to soon, a memory I will cherish forever.
I feel a new itch coming on …
And, for those of us still searching for parts (do we ever stop searching), well you’re in luck as the Sunday lineup includes the 22nd Annual Autofest in New Ulm which includes a swap meet. (Probably should bring an umbrella and muck boots)
And with that it’s time to get back to work mowing grass, turning a wrench or better yet attending a car show.
Have a great week and thanks for joining the Show Junkies.
