Pictures By: Richard “Too Low” Haas

"This is the 5th Annual Uhland Car Show put on by the Gear Heads Car Club and it just keeps getting better.
Uhland is a little "crossroads" community south of Austin, Texas and in the heart of "Don't say it if ya don't mean it" territory.....
The Gear Heads are getting known for their unusual and very cool trophies, as well as good music, good chow and just a plain old good time, with lots of family involvement and some cool vendors! 
This show draws out some of the cars that seldom get seen at other shows and brings out some new ideas in car building. Your reporter has made 4 out of 5 of the Uhland shows and I plan on being there again next year."
