2012 Pumpkin Run

Alan!!!  We were just talking about how much we missed you and a few of the other guys.  It's great to see a post from you and I hope we will see a few more.

I'll be there providing I get this nagging back issue cleared up.

I am alive and well Troy !

Any cars in the pipeline Alan?

Calendar marked.

Put me on the list ( 2 ). Looking forward to it. Dale

We'll be there!

Hmmmm.....  that might be doable.

OK, Alan,

Likewise, been thinking about you and the PR.  It is rapidly coming to that time of year.  the date is doable (the following week end would not be: 50th High School reunion -??!!-  OMG.).

Will plan to attend.

Add me and my wife Diane to the list

ALAN HOW CLOSE IS THIS PITTSBURGH AND BUTLER

TO PITTSBURGH AND BUTLER PA

gerd, i think about a 3-4 hour drive

GO STEELERS!

Gerd: 3 hours, 160 miles or so.

Alan, will be there, probably the same time-frame as last year, if possible??

My calendar is conveniently clear that weekend! No kids!

Gerd,

 Pitt is 3.0 and Butler is 3.5 good highways for 90% of the trip.

Great that we have newbies doing the Pumpkin Run!  Please email me your name etc so that I add you and your right seater to the list

Al,

Add another TD to the list...and a first timer!

Look forward to seeing another N.J. Replicar Alumnus  !

Great to have you back on the road, Paul.

Thanks Al & Lane.

And it FEELS great to be back on the road.

After the car was no longer held hostage by she who shall not be named, I finally got the new engine built up. She ran for about fifty miles, then died. Turned out to be fuel pump (at least I thought). Replaced that. No improvement. Guess what? The "new" pump, was bad. Pump two went in this week...all better now!

Those wouldn't be replica Lucas pumps, would they???   8-)

They might as well be Leon!

How about hearing from NJ Max, PA Jim Chichi, MD Alan Hais, NJ Joel and PA Lew...it looks like we will have the largest turn out to date for the 5th annual Pumpkin Run !

Max...come here...either Friday night or Saturday morning and we can convoy out.

Alan,

Count me in for the Pumpkin Run! The AACA Hershey Antique car show is the same day but since I haven't built any show cars in awhile I'll catch Hershey on Friday and continue on to Chambersburg in time for the Pumpkin Run. My wife Barbara who enjoyed Carlisle may join me.

This afternoon I was at Radical Motorsports in Ramsey nj getting some parts for my 4S Carrera and what comes in the shop but an Outlaw silver 356 Speedster with a turbo motor. The body  and paint were very nice and it had electric windows.The metal filler panels attached to the speedy windshield frame were ingenious. You don't see many speedsters in North Jersey.

Anyhow I'm looking forward to seeing everyone.

Joel - 356 Vintage Tub.

Joel, was that speedster at Radical Motorsports an IM?, or were the 'filler panels' and window system retro fitted?

Hi Alan - If my CMC is out of the shop by 10/13, I'd like to join you all for the Pumpkin Run.  Where does it start that morning?  If u wish u may send details to my personal email address dsbay47@verizon.net.   Thx - hope I can cruise with u guys. - David Bayne (Camp Hill)

David  PM sent   ~Alan

Unfortunately, I'll have to pull out Alan. Got too busy at work ( a good thing $$$) and the hardtop will not be ready for sure. Have a good one....

Alan and Paul -- Toni and I aren't going to make it after all. She runs the NJ League of Women Voters and this is the mother of all debate seasons and she has a debate on the 13th she has to manage -- the biggest one in the state between Menendez and the other senate contender. It gets taped Saturday and aired Sunday. No, she won't be asking the questions, so there won't be much worth watching. I've got to help with the logistic crap -- up all night Friday baking cookies.

I was hoping hard this wouldn't happen.

My back's killing me too, Mr. Bridges. I think it's this 30-pound gut I got knocked up with when I quit smoking.

Sorry Alan. Sorry Connie. Just have to meet you some other time. Sorry we won't be hanging with the rest of you guys either. I'm gonna hate missing my 847th birthday.

847'th birthday??

Wow!  

Pretty soon you'll be catching up with Doctor Who!

Gordon -- I never meant to live this long or get this old. It was always someone else's idea.

When I was in my 20's I was SURE I was never gonna live this long.

I just seem to keep plodding along in spite of myself.  

Carl,

I don't think the outlaw speedster  that I saw was an IM. It had a VW pan  and a beam front end. Since it was a true speedster and not a convertible I'd say the windows were retrofitted. There were several modifications to the body. There were some Vintage parts but the door panels looked typical CMC. I have the owners phone # but haven't called him yet.

See you at the Pumpkin Run.

Joel

Joel, to my knowedge neither of the two 'roll up windows' speedster crafters use a pan on their replicas...A retro-fit then is very possible, and if it looks as good as you implied than this guy has accomplished something!! Don't lose this him...Hold onto that phone number!!

The Pumpkin run?... Sorry. I get very antsy when I'm beyond AAA towing distance. As it is I'll probably have to medicate myself to handle Gordon's Cider Run.
