Lunch in Hopkinsville, KY, the bonspeed boys Invade Rural America

Ever see one of those movies where the guys walk in a restaurant or bar and everything stops, every single person turns to look. Welcome to Hopkinsville, KY, we drove off the beaten path to have lunch with the owner of BedWood© for Trucks, Jeff Major. Jeff had noticed we were coming close and invited the crew for lunch at The Wood Shed BBQ.

We arrived before Jeff and when we rumbled in the parking lot with four black machines and a Silver Vette it was quite a site. As the ten person bonspeed gang walked through the door all eyes were on us.

A few minutes later everything was fine and we were enjoying Southern hospitality and some fine cooking. After a quick lunch of pulled pork and fries we hit the road once again.

How To Prepare a Mean Z06 Corvette and Thunder Tahoe for Power Tour

First thing you need is one of these really cool bonspeedWheels.com windshield banners. Then you find the center of the glass and lay that puppy down.

Instantly, your car or truck looks sexier, lower, meaner and faster. Despite the high-wind conditions expert car guys Brad Fanshaw and Mark Grimes installed this sticker. A technical install at the corner gas station, but we got it done on both the Z06 and the Tahoe.

If you need any tips on how to accomplish this on your vehicle just ask at any of the tour stops.

bonspeed boys the Who, What and Where Power Tour 2010

Friday morning the bonspeed boys are flying from the Orange County, California airport and heading to the Midwest for the Hot Rod Power Tour 2010. Looking forward to meeting car guys and gals from around the world and finally experiencing an event on our list of To-Do's!

Who are the bonspeed boys?
The original bonspeed boys are Brad Fanshaw and Michael Anthony, the owners of bonspeed. Over the years the group has grown to include a very small group of close personal friends who have participated in helping to make bonspeed the exciting company it is today.

Shown at right and going on the 2010 Power Tour are Brad Fanshaw (left) and Mark Cilani (right). We are traveling with our resident Midwest bonspeed boy, Mark Grimes friend and owner of MAG Motoring Wheels (www.MagMotoringWheels.com). Mark's family is traveling along too, we will introduce you to them when we get to Omaha.


What Do the bonspeed boys Have Planned?
We are planning on having as much fun as gear heads can have without the long arm of the law catching us. We plan on tearing down the back roads, frontage roads and any roads the tour has to offer. We are going to check out the cars and meet as many car people as we can find. I am certain we will eat way too much greasy food and stay up late every night. We will do that while spreading the word about bonspeed Wheels!

Where Are the bonspeed boys Headed?
Ok, before anyone says we are less than hard-core car guys or sissy men, we are only traveling on part of the Power Tour. We would love to embark on a week long adventure into the Southern United States. It would be great to travel the distance and say we are long-haul guys, but when the cats away the mice will play. The bonspeed empire does not run itself.
