That was good, thanks!!! We did "Star City Motor Madness" in Roanoke VA a few years back and had a guy with a replica state police car 68 Fury "chasing us" in bumper to bumper traffic with his lights on, etc. People along the road thought that it was GREAT. We even had the REAL Roanoke cops laughing at us. (The Roanoke police are usually really VERY nice for the cruise night and the show, so THANKS to those men & women in uniform and the city too!!!)

Vid's man! I Love that stuff but now I gotta see VID'S!!!

I'd love to see that!

I was wondering who the Blues Brothers were who were pulled over here by the Crown Vic! It's funny because the roller who was there, filmed it off his tv and provided some fairly comical narration!

Steam McQueen · 30th Nov 2008, 05:30 PM

I saw this clip again on TMZ last night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNsniGZRa0A

Apparently they're offering $6,000 to anyone who can identify the driver.

Yeah well, I know what your thinkin' cause forget it, that's that ****in guy from the Buck Town area, real trouble maker type too. But I'm not goin to rat him out completely so good luck TMZ...

TK826 · 2nd Dec 2008, 03:18 PM

Chicago.. Bluesmobile.. first initial "J".

The thought did cross my mind.

I don't get it though.. Why is TMZ so interested ?

Damn paparazzi! Illinois paparazzi!

I hate Illinois Paparazzi!

Steam McQueen · 27th Dec 2008, 06:05 PM

Remember this one we saw for sale earlier this year? An ex-Alabama Brothers car. The guy who bought it started his own site for it!

http://bluesmobile.org/

I'm not sure if he's a member here.

Elwood565b · 28th Dec 2008, 12:45 AM

Thanks, Bob!

This next pic is one I'm not sure if we've seen before. I saw it recently and could not find out where the pic was from.

Does anyone know where this car is? Or was?

TK826 · 1st Jan 2009, 09:03 AM

I'm guessing that the car is meant to be seen front on,
from the other side of the fence.

Some type of amusement attraction, perhaps?

flcl64 · 1st Jan 2009, 08:07 PM

oooh i have an idea!!!! :O take the damn thing down from there, :O(yeh followin me?)
and give it,to me

D >:O lol. jk

but surlusly i want it. :0 and id actually drive it. not put it on a beam over my fence. id rather find a parking place, mybe thru my fence as a joke. lol

Elwood565b · 2nd Jan 2009, 12:55 AM

that pic is a new one on me Steam. to me it seems like it could be advertising for a junk yard or something...dont ask what makes me think that!

hopefully, with all of the members we have all over the globe, we can solve this little mystery.

-Bob

Ghostbluesman · 21st Jan 2009, 07:59 AM

I copied these series of pics ages ago, before I got my car, and I am particularly fond of the graphics and overall look of this BM...I wanted to find the thread again, or contact the owner/member and ask some questions about his work...anyone know who it is?

Rob

TK826 · 21st Jan 2009, 08:29 AM

I don't believe that is him standing in front of it, but both of those shots are of ChiTown's car.

Both before and after, his updated paint job.

I also have a "Who's car is this?" question.

Anyone know the answer to this one? ...

This is the car used on the Wikipedia article.
(I've also included a photo I found of the rear of the car)

It has California plates.., but the photos were taken at the
"Cavanaugh Flight Museum", located in Addison, Texas.

Ghostbluesman · 21st Jan 2009, 12:54 PM

Thanks, tk...I'm hoping ChiTown will weigh in here, so I can ask him a few questions!

Not sure about your Wiki pics...I've seen them floating on the web, but I'm not usre of the car's lineage...
Rob

Billwood · 21st Jan 2009, 03:02 PM

It looks like one that is in Rocky Mount, NC at a party site called MNO (Men's Night Out) it is a private site used for a big party. They have a car set up like that there, it is next to the main stage.

Steam McQueen · 21st Jan 2009, 04:48 PM

Yep. That's ChiTownJohn's car. He's put a lot of work into, loves it, ran it at the Chicago Emergency Vehicle Show last two years. Not the parade, the tire screeching course!

There's some great vids of this car, and John, on youtube.

The dude in the top pic, I'm pretty sure, is John's friend Jerry. Dang cancer got ahold of him, December 2007.

ChiTown has given us a ton of pics to this site. There is no two ways about it ... that is a Chicago Bluesmobile!

I posed the question about that Wiki car once, tk. No responses. Is that car still in or around Texas?

Steam McQueen · 21st Jan 2009, 05:23 PM

Those must be some GREAT parties!

Jake: That's where they got the Uniroyal Girl.
Elwood: Yep

Quote:

The Rocky Mount Uniroyal Gal is hard to spot from the road! She stands about 2 1/2 miles west of business 301 on NC 97 in a private park. You will NOT be able to see her from the road when the trees sprout leaves this spring. The private park is called "Men's Night Out," and is on the south side of NC 97. The road leading in looks like a driveway to an old farm house. The actual park is fenced in and can not be entered. There is an odd looking "Dwarf Elvis" figure over the gate leading to the park. There is also an MG Midget sportscar hanging 30' in the air on a pole behing the Uniroyal Gal. She does NOT have a belly button ring now.

Rocky Mount, NC - Uniroyal Gal

Billwood · 22nd Jan 2009, 09:40 AM

It is a great site, I call it like a Disneyland for drunks, always great music and food . Each site has a theme , a lot of work is done to keep up and improve the area. The guys go there to do this work, thats where MNO comes from. It is hard to get an invitation to this annual party.

TK826 · 22nd Jan 2009, 01:19 PM

Using the above info, I did a little searching for "MNO".

"Mens Night Out"
MNO Lane
Rocky Mount, NC

It seems like an illusive place.
There are several web pages that talk about it, but I have only found (one) page w/ any photos..

Pictures by whitewidow252 - Photobucket

These are the only photos I've found... but, check out the first one, on the page.

* Nice work Billwood

Billwood · 22nd Jan 2009, 03:02 PM

Those crowd pictures don't look like the event, but the car looks right.
