Newsflash! Bob Possel's Pagoda Wins Overall Trophy
« on: January 18, 2009, 14:33:01 »
Hello,

I just got my "The Star" magazine. I was delighted to see a picture of Bob and his Pagoda with a small article. Bob won the overall German Car Trophy at the 2008 Euro Fest in Memphis.  I believe this is Bob's first show with his fresh restoration.  Congratulations Bob!

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the congrats.  Have not rec'd my copy of the magazine yet.  Not sure what it shows, or says (reads)???  Not sure who submitted it?

Just to clarify, I won based on the "Peoples Choice" vote (not formal judging).  The spectators voted my "German" car as #1.  Most of the cars there were British.  In general, lots of nice cars!  My car is a loooong way away from cars like Mike Salemi's beautiful 113.  But it was a fun day, a beautiful sunny day in Memphis, and it was nice to get a trophy.
Bob  :)
