So I fired up the good old V8 and headed for American Beauty Car Show 2007 at Haapsalu. The wake-up call was at 6 am so I could join the other three american cars going there from Tallinn. It was raining and I thought the day was ruined.

We got to haapsalu at 10 am and the cruise from the castle to the airfield started at 11 am. We had an hour to kill so we walked around and there were so many american cars around us The rain had stopped and sun was starting to come out.

The best part was when the beasts were starting to wake up. A roar from here, a roar from there... I just love the sound of the V8!

And the cruise... I don't know why it is so fulfilling to drive in a cruise... People are smiling and waving, taking pictures and filming... and there were a lot of people gathered on the streets. We had the windows down so we heard comments in style of "look, a wooden car" and such Man, it was great!

Drag racing was good. It's a fun experience to see the special drag cars race - the sound, the speed... wow.
