2011 Moonlight Memories Car Show (Part I), Hatboro, PA

More than 500 specialty cars and trucks rolled into Hatboro for the 2011 Moonlight Memories Car Show. The free event draws between 500 and 600 show-quality cars and trucks and was held from 5 to 10 p.m. with cars lining both sides of York Road. 

These are some of the images I shot that afternoon.  I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them.

This 2-door coupe is a very close retrospective to the first generation Challengers – a lot of elements are common even though the newbie is longer and taller and shares shortened version of LX platform [current Dodges Charger and Magnum, Chrysler 300C]. All 2008 Challenger came with 6.1 liter [370 cubic] Hemi engine that develops 425 HP. Powertrain was equipped with 5-speed automatic gear box. ~ www.amcarguide.com/muscle-cars/dodge-challenger-2008-pres...

Piña Colada For Two

Via Flickr:
Arguably the best recipe for a piña colada is:
* 2 ½ to 3 ounces of rum
* 2 ounces Cream of Coconut
* 2 ounces Pineapple Juice
* Crushed ice (enough to fill the serving glass).

Pour all of the ingredients into the blender and blend thoroughly until smooth. Pour back into your serving glass, top off with a straw and a piece of pineapple if you like, and enjoy!

The act of flagging down a cab is called "hailing"; there's not much to it, just stick out your arm above your head, and pretend you're the Statue of Liberty. When the numbers on the roof of the cab are lit, it is available. Yellow Medallion cabs are the only ones authorized to pick up hails. ~ Mew York City Taxi Cabs

Ingredients:
  • ½ kilo Pork Belly
  • ½ kilo Green Finger Chilis 
  • 1 cup Shrimp Paste or Salted Shrimp
