MUNGENAST & TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE MUSEUMS CRUISE<br />
Saturday, June 9, <strong>2012</strong>, cruise director Larry Lester led us from the normal gathering spot at Watson and<br />
Lindbergh to the Dave Mungenast Motorcycle Museum on Gravois. After viewing some awesome vintage<br />
bikes, we were on our way to the Triumph Motorcycle Museum and Grill near Saint Louis University just east<br />
of Grand. There we checked out some more vintage bikes as well as new Triumphs and Ducatis, and some<br />
great food. The list of attendees included Joe Marino in his striking red 246 Dino replica, Larry and Betty<br />
Lester in their pristine Marlene, Joe Messler drove his vintage 1927 Bugatti Type 35, Frank and Sally Garamella<br />
brought their 1929 Mercedes CMC Gazelle, Andre Garamella and Mary came in his 1952 MGTD, and Laura<br />
Zoroya and I drove a Midstates Cobra. Here are some shots of our excursion:<br />

HAZELWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH CAR SHOW<br />
On Saturday, June 16, <strong>2012</strong>, Mike Woodard directed what has come to be one of the best car shows we<br />
attend. As usual, it was well attended. Also as usual, the hospitality of the congregation was unsurpassed.<br />
Imagine checking out one cool car after another while young people offered to get you soda, hot dogs,<br />
hamburgers and funnel cakes! Ummm…Did I say they had funnel cakes?<br />
Mike, son Jamie and his medium blue, high performance B&B Cobra roadster were first on the scene to<br />
establish the club area with a canopy. Joe Marino brought his outstanding V8 powered Ferrari Dino. Andre<br />
Garamella, Tammy and Mary were there in his brown and tan FiberFab 1952 MG-TD, while Frank Garamella<br />
drove his brown and tan CMC 1929 Mercedes Gazelle. I drove a blue Brunton Stalker 1962 Lotus Seven. Also<br />
stopping by to check out the show were members Greg Sacks, Joe Messler, Gary Woods and friend Rich<br />
Thomas. The hot afternoon gave way to some sprinkles that only cooled things off and felt good. Many prizes<br />
were distributed by the Church and a good time was had by all. Check out these pictures.<br />

PRESIDENT DON SHANK’S BUGATTI FOR SALE<br />
Here’s your chance to own some history. Our Founder, CEO, President, Grand PooBa, and all around terrific<br />
guy, has decided to sell his pride and joy. For those not familiar, Don’s car is not a kit. He handcrafted the car<br />
without the help of a kit. Every piece has been lovingly and accurately hand formed with the use of wooden<br />
bucks, fiberglas, polyurethane foam, steel and aluminum. All this is the reason that Don’s 1932 Bugatti Type<br />
55 has been featured in both Kit Car and Kit Car Illustrated magazines. Don used a 1972 Ford Pinto 4 cylinder<br />
engine for easy maintenance, coupled to a 3-speed automatic transmission for ease of driving. The fit and<br />
finish is without equal.<br />
As for price, Don has indicated “make offer”. This could be the chance of a lifetime. Please contact Don for<br />
particulars at (618) 344-5698, shankt55@aol.com . Home address: #19 Red Rose Drive, Collinsville, IL 62234.<br />
