Default Met a John Hennessy at GSL Chev City 100th anniversary and SHow & Shine--- Videos....

Took the 69 Camaro to the Show & Shine at GSL Chev City today. They have been in business 100 years in Calgary. Owner Bob Wolfe and his Daughter Ashley (General manager) are clients of my wife and mine. They are real good people. As a special guest, John Hennessey flew up for the celebrations and to help promote GSL as Canadas official supplier/installer of Hennessey Performance products. I got to talk to John for about 15 minutes, he was very nice and excited about the packages he has and developing for the Corvettes/Camaros/CTS-V's. The weather actually cooperated and it was a great time. Parked next to my Camaro was the first CTS-V Coupe in town, the guy had just owned it for 4 days. I had seen pics of the silver one and it kind of looked , but this was reddish/orangish pearl?? and it looked the interior is the motor is ....I guess you can guess that I liked it a lot. They also had a new 09 Black ZR1 that they brought up from the US for sale..NEW 09??? Yes, but even they said when I was inquiring about it, that they would not cover the warranty on it until 6 months and 12,000 kms had past. Anyways, no pics but I shot 2 videos if your interested, the first shows the CTS-V right at the start, even some video of my Camaro...

Yeah, should have mentioned that this morning, the 2 links were the same. Just watched the "new" one, more great cars!!!

To be honest with you, sometimes I get sick of just looking at Vettes

I think the best shows are when there is a mix of everything from Corvettes to 1/2 tons to Exotics to Wall Mart 4x4 Cutlass's
