Hey guys. I think you all know that there is a show n shine on the Saturday at the Mission CCC but they are promoting this event on the radio a lot. It is to be a fund raiser for the Variety Club.

Originally I wasn't going to spend a lot of time detailing the car but give that this may be a bigger event, I'm going to put some time in detailing.

So, make sure you all have your cars 'best bib and tucker on'.

NOTE: So which one of you cultural Neanderthals knows what that phrase means?

 

I do you silly limey So "take off eh, ya hoser." Besides, you guys representing the club should be cleaned up anyhow (says the guy with the most beat up looking car of the group )

it means your best clothes or look
so i guess you mean make sure they are cleaned up as nice as possible

 

Thats is right Ollie.

But here is the difficult question.

What IS / ARE a "bib and tucker"?

 

Also to all CCC participants. Cory will be driving the Durango to Mission for me as a support vehicle. I'll be taking my tool chest etc etc if anyone needs some tools whilst we are there.

 

That is right DAN!!

A tucker was a bit of lace worn around the neck and top of the bodice by 17th-18th century women, something that was tucked in. the bib was a shirt-front or covering for the breast.

 

Sorry Dan. My mistake.

And well done, I'm impressed.

As you say, a bib is what blokes wore underneath their tuxedo in lieu of a shirt. They would also have 'fake' shirt sleeve cuffs.

More useless trivia and crap.

Why does a man have buttons on a suit jacket cuff?

Also, what are appelets for? You will usually see them on military uniforms and sweaters.

 

what if my bib doesnt match my tucker what do i do then ??
