A few weeks ago my wife and I were out cruising in 9189 and stopped for lunch. We sat by a window keeping the car in view and as we dined, watched as several people came over for a closer look. One guy took a particular interest in it and took several pictures. When we returned to the car, we found an invite to attend the 2nd Annual Festival Of Speed & Style - a combination car and fashion show held on the main-street of Alexandria.
While I never intended to show 9189, I thought it might be fun, so I entered and had showcarsillustrated.com make a show board for me - I figured that I could use it as garage wall art afterwords. I also made a scrapbook showing the build progression for display.

A total of 88 cars and 14 motorcycles showed, and while 9189 didn't win anything, what fun! At specified times, all drivers started and revved their engines in a collective roar. There was a ton of interest in Factory Five, and non-stop questions from prospective builders. I also met some nearby current builders who are new friends. Check out these beauties:
