tiki-pool-party.1-of-2

The Tiki Pool Party has become one of the major events at VLV, and will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It is a great opportunity for girls (and guys!) to show off their vintage swimwear.  New to VLV18 – The Pool Party will begin early, at 9am, on Sunday!

CABANAS AT VLV

As you know, there are a limited number of cabanas at the pool for VLV and the hotel is getting a lot of requests so here is the plan. A cabana for Friday, Saturday or Sunday will be $250 for a day. That includes guaranteed entry to the pool area for 10 people. Between now and March 8th please send an email to cabana@vivalasvegas.net On that day we will randomly draw winners who will then be able to phone the hotel and deal with the payment.

Don’t forget that the pool party will be for 3 days this time and you will automatically be entered into the drawing for all 3 days. The hotel also hopes to have even more cabanas installed by then.

Please only use cabana@vivalasvegas.net for entering the draw. If you have questions please email tom@vivalasvegas.net

My Belstaff RoadMaster II Jacket for sale on Ebay right now

BELSTAFF JACKET OPF MINE FOR SALE- VERY RARE TO FIND THESE DAYS.

 

 

TIME LEFT RIGHT NOW:   

1 day 5 hours (Dec 30, 2013 17:41:41 PST)
Well Here is something that you really don’t see that often and when you do, they go for a lot of money to collectors etc.

 

Above is the link that I have for my Original Belstaff Jacket that I have had over 20 years and used to wear in the City of London when delivering to places on my Dispatch bike.

 

 

This kept me warm and toasty in the winter months, and I assure you, this is a really good warm jacket that you will be glad that you own.

 

 

I now live in Southern California, so never need to wear it in the lovely sunny weather that we are blessed to receive.

 

 

So, I thought I would bung it on Ebay and someone else can get miles of smiles out of this wax proofed Belstaff jacket that has so much style and charisma as well as doing a superb job to keep out the elements.

 

 

Belstaff is the BEST all weather jacket in the world-barr none.

This is the Roadmaster II and I love how warm it feels, all the pockets have brass snaps that seal everything up, with a strong zipper this will keep the wind and the rain out.

 

 

 

 

I did have a belt but cannot find it, if I do, I shall obviously put it in with the jacket, but other than that, this is a great buy and look on ebay right now, there are a couple on there the same but want $700 plus for them.

So- mine is a great deal.

 

 

Grab it whilst you can, this is great for the TON UP rider as Rockers wore these a lot too.

 

 

This is a medium size, it still fits me but I am now 185 pounds and even though it fits, I would boil like an egg in it if I rode it in the SoCal weather.

 

Thanks for looking, hope someone enjoys it as much as I did.  You can email me at carpy@carpyscaferacers.com or call or text at 714-598-8392

 

 

MOONEYES CHRISTMAS SHOW THIS SATURDAY DEC 7th

Well, it is that time of year again and the MOON-EYES Christmas party is all set for this coming Saturday at the Irwindale Drag strip, I shall be going with Dakota and maybe if I can get Jennifer my girlfriend to come along, that would make such a great Saturday for me.

The Mooneyes show is a big event and one you really should try and get too, admittedly parking can be a royal pain in the arse, as there is only really one road in and be prepared to be sat in a traffic jam for a while, as I have done every time, but once in, you can chill and just walk around the show, see the Hot Rods, Custom Cars, Custom trucks, Low Riders and Custom Cycles that are in the show area, the parking lot will have many cool rides too, so always some great eye candy to be had by all.

http://bangshift.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Mooneyes-2013-Xmas-Party-Schedule.jpg

 

 

 

Then there are the Drags that will be running all day, if you want to see and hear Classic iron racing each other over the 8th mile, then this is the place to be for you.

There will also be cool sounds coming from the bands that will be banging out their tunes and much to see, as there will be many Vendors to show you what they have and offer.

Good food, good sounds and the amazing sounds of the drags makes this a MUST see event of the year.

People attend this show from not just California, they get people from all over the globe and I have not been dissapointed yet, I hope to see some of you out there and just relax, and make sure that you take your camera, as there will be a huge bunch of amazing rides there and plenty to show your family and friends back home once you are done.

Check all the vendors out as this is the best place to find all your low brow and custom stuff, great for Christmas gift buying and of course, supporting these local vendors helps them too.

Everything from Tee shirts, Hot Rod parts, Custom artwork, pinstriping, and the girls can find all their clothing, bags and make up, so it covers everyone, mum,dad, kids an all.

 

Now- the Gates open at 6am but I will be up there probably about 10am and I really hope I get to see some of you out there, it’s an awesome social event that needs to be publicized as much as possible and this is the best show at this time of year.

Hundreds of entrants guarantees that there really is something for everyone at this event.

See you there!!!!!!!!
