Fastiques Donates $2000 to Earth Angel

Fastiques presents a check for $2000 to the Earth Angel Foundation at our Annual Awards Banquet.  Earth Angel is an Ohio based organization that helps make the wishes of children who are either suffering with a terminal or life threatening disease come true.  Many choose vacations with their families at theme parks.  the average cost per child was reported at $8000-$9000.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Years

Fastiques Rod & Custom 2009

(not pictured: myself and my pal Phil)

if we could help one child...

we are a family based club who would do anything to help a child.  our primary charity is the Shriner's Burns Hospital for Children.  we're lucky to have this facility located in our city.  the services provided there are world class and... at no charge to the patients.  seated in the front row is our board of directors (minus me behind the camera).  from the left is Dan our president, Rose our treasurer, Mary our secretary and Joe our vice president.  thru your support of the Pumpkin Run we were able to give the hospital a check for $50,000.  it took a lot of volunteers to pull this off (there aren't that many Fastiques).  this check was presented at the annual appreciation luncheon for our sponsors and volunteers.  to date, Fastiques Rod & Custom has been able to give the hospital over $600,000.  we are a non profit organization.  when you support one of our events, you're money is going to go to support a worth while cause, we have several.

the Guy behind the BS

yep, this is me.  my name is John and i manage club communications.  i DRIVE a '66 concours Mustang GT.  Fastiques love their cars but they don't care much for trailers.  my car may be technically correct down to the markings on nuts and bolts but... i no longer slide under it to polish the springs and drive shaft.  honestly, i wouldn't fit anymore.  i think that is why most street rods are built low, so nobody would look.

Medium Rare Merc

why is it medium rare? no, not the color but the owner. this is club member and vice president Joe Herrera's Merc.  since he lives out of town (Middletown), we don't see it much either.  in fact, urban legend has it that he actually drives it.  look for this car, its owner and other oddities at the Pumpkin Run next year.

Got Fins?

the Pumpkin Run does.  you'd have to go to Sea World to see more fins. sorry guys and gals, Shamu doesn't come in "candy apple red" just black & white.
so if you rather have a splash of color rather than water, see you the first weekend in October.
