Atlantic Nationals 2006 (
July 6 - 9, 2006 )
The Atlantic
Nationals is four fun filled days of cars,
outdoor attractions, live
entertainment,
vendors, and cruising; all in one of the most
picturesque venues you will ever see! For more
information on the show please visit their

This year we
were lucky to have a very special guest Courtney
Hansen. Not just a pretty face, Courtney
is no stranger to a wrench and she knows her
stuff
when it comes to cars. She overhauled Streetrods
with Chip Foose and co-hosted Overhaulin
on TLC, writes an advice column for FHM Magazines
and now hosts Powerblock on Spike TV. She
is also writing a book that should be out
in
September. To top it all off she is a SUPER
girl with a great personality. Carol and
Myself were very lucky to spend a few days
with such
a super person. www.courtneyhansen.com
