3 days, a bunch of friends, 18 hours of driving, alot of cars and one big ass show. Water By The Bridge 2014! (Louisville KY)

We wait, we wait and wait all winter long. We drink, hang out, ski, snowboard, play video games, and wrench on our cars. Maybe other stuff in there too, We all have hobbies to pass time. 

One thing we all hold common is that we are all anticipating our first escapade to a show. 

Water by the Bridge in Louisville KY is the first and earliest event since the weather there although hit or miss, turns a little sooner than ours here so the trek down has not disappointed us for the last couple years. Some near misses, like snow the day after, but so far so good.

With barges lazily rolling by on the Ohio River and a massive park area built of red bricks and huge bridges in the background that are the northern entry points to Louisville, Water by the bridge is an excellent example of the things we wait for all winter.

With an easy 600 cars there this year all inclusive and a brilliant selection of handmade craftsmanship of things that were not meant to be in the original designers eyes, but when put together are a great example of imagination and fabrication abilities, like the Team Eurotrash porsche and the old Mini with a porsche drivetrain stuffed up underneath it, Water By the Bridge did not fail to entertain again this year.

Or Brad from Team Eurotrash's porsche that has the porsche drivertrain removed and a VW VR6t installed....



This car is a prime example of "garage built"

With tons of eye candy on site for folks to walk around and ogle, this show is a great example of how a small gtg at a shop can grow into a large classy event with good planning, good people and good times all around.

And of course, how about some pics from this year?

This was literally just sitting right there when I pulled up in the morning to set up the Eurotrash booth. Not a bad first shot of the day......

Then of course Richard pulled this up so I had to play a bit....











This show is well worth the drive to KY. Big props to Dinah Jean Volante for her time and energy spent making sure this was a blast, well executed, and one not to miss again if you haven't been yet!
Till next time......
