This was a really pleasant surprise. We got fliers one day that there was going to be a “muscle car show” and all joked about what that might possibly mean– we were thinking some suburbans, maybe some of the bigger engined dump-trucks, certainly some of the 95-96 ghettoed out Impalas that we see around! But we did not think it would be a proper car show, and for that I’m really thankful to both the organizers and all the local folk that brought their beautiful cars out.
There was music being blasted from a corner, and the day was a little warmer than it needed to be, but the atmosphere reminded me of a nice Sunday show back Stateside. Below are some of the photos I took. I need to find out if there are regular gatherings of car clubs around Kuwait, and what the different flavors might be like. I wish I had spoken to more of the owners, but I was a bit apprehensive for really no good reason!

I am also going to have to go down to the Speed Cycle shop downtown where the guys invited me to go for a test-drive, and where I can buy an Aprilia or KTM and have it shipped back home. This is a very interesting idea for bikes that we don’t get to see there normally. At any rate, this event really made me miss my cars! Also made me think that it’s really such a difference if you have “just a car” vs. having a really “interesting” car.
Hope you get to see at least one interesting car this week!
Cheers,
