A December Cruise to Reagan Library!

Rock-a-Billy...Look, it has taken me years on this site building my reputation and earning the horns I wear on our runs and on my icon, and now you come along and try to ruin it for me.....Now I'm going to have to be twice as bad to prove you wrong...

Partly cloudy and 35 degrees (windchill in the 20's) here in Wilmington, DE today!!





I hate you guys.

OK Vince.....you are an evil, creepy, mean, dirty, maniacal, intimidating, shifty, insipid, scandalous, shady, calculated, perverted, horrific, putrid, nasty individual...YET, WE STILL LOVE YOU!!!!

Now go take some Tylenol PM and hit the sheets bro!!

Man oh man!!! That was too much fun! Billy - you and Nina ROCK! Thanks for putting together a great run for the group. What a great way to start the Christmas holidays by hanging out with this group - rain or shine it don't matter.

Gerd played Santa Claus and had some cool gifts for everyone on the cruise!

To the Carlisle 2008 SOCers that toured the Harley Davidson plant and saw MUSBJIM get kicked out of the tour and escorted off the premises...just be glad Billy wasn't there!! They would have frigging shot him on the spot - or at least Tasered him.

Warren - we're bummed we couldn't hook-up! I got your message while we were in the library but had problems trying to get in touch with you. We missed you & Karen on this run.

I'm still fumbling my way around on this new MacBook laptop. I'll post my pics from today's cruise as soon as I figure out how to do it!

Later!

hmmmm.... The Weather Channel says it's currently (at 7am in LA) only 44 degrees in Los Angeles and the high for the day is supposed to be a whopping 58 F !?!?!? No wonder you'se guys and gals were chilly yesterday!

Geeze!!! It's gonna be warmer here in the good Old Southland!! (as long as you stay East of Atlanta and that cold mass in the middle of the country). We're currently 49F with a forecasted high of 64f!!

Thank God we have the Gulf Stream only 60 miles to the East.

Wow.....We're gonna be warmer than SoCal.... Nyahh, Nyahh!!!!!

I'm taking Pearl out this PM to go shopping - should be nice!

Seriously, sounds like Y'all had a great time and THAT's what having Speedstahs and Speedstah friends is all about.

Don't know what happened to that 64F. I was down at the Vintage Races at Roebling Road in Savannah, and it was chilly all day. I doubt it got above the low 50's. In Charleston the high was 51F. Kinda nippy.

One more thing, we have another new member, Scott M the spyder guy,
He was zooming by the rock store last month when we were on our Malibu cruise, turned around when he saw all the speedsters, and is now a member of the madness...In the picture of us by Air Force One, he is in the middle of the upper row..Joseph is to his right....
You fit right in dude....

Now I am confused. Did some of you make the Ojai run? Karen and I were tooling around all the highways between the 23/LA Ave corner to Santa Paula looking for you guys. We would have gone straight to the library, but thought you had already left and I couldn't remember where the fire station was. We finally figured it was too late and headed to Ventura, but no speedies. My fault, I should have called when I left the house, should have left earlier, and should have left my new number. It looks as though you guys had a really good time at the library. Sorry I was such a wimp about the weather, it would have been fun. Billy, you're right, Vince is truly a nice guy behind all the BS. Dam, did I say that?

Billy, thanks for putting this event together. I had a blast.
I made it home via Hollywood just before dark, car and artwork intact.Tamera wasn't even upset. She IS a keeper!

I am still working on a date for a screening of "King of the Mountain"at my place. I'll let everyone know when I have all the renovations done.

Joseph, give me a call when you are ready to take a look at your car (714)376-5634. We'll put it up on the lift, and figure the suspension out.

Here are a few pictures:

Thanks again everybody for a great time.

I punked out yesterday. Nothing like a rainy, cold dawn and a sciatic nerve to keep me in bed. It looks like I missed a great time. It was cccold at 6AM here and remained damp and chilly all day. It seemed like it was not as cold or wet on the run from the reports, but then I see the pic of MUSBJIM in shoes and SOCKS! A truly frightening weather indicator! I am sorry I missed the run. La Jolla is right down the road, let's do it!

Hey, lets all bring our tents and we can camp out in Will's back yard.

Hey Warren, this was called the Reagan Library run....
I think we stayed at the Library longer than planned and then some of us had things going on in the evening, so we cut short the day,
I didn't get your message until I got home and looked at my phone,
sorry we missed you....You are a trooper to say the least....

'HO-'HO-'HO!

You guys are awesome.. and Will you are correct Sir.. I have NEVER seen Jim in anything less that short pants and thongs (shoes) It must have been cold for him to be wearing SHOES! ... OMGosh... BTW Brandon did well in his first wrestling tounry here, and Dad was very proud! See ya all soon..

Speedster "D" Merry Holidays to ALL....... yes GERD and Vince too!

David, I am really, REALLY glad that you clarified the "thong" statement.

I had a really great time with you all this weekend. This truly is a great group and I am very happy to have come across SOC that fateful day in Malibu. I have some photos which I will post here, if anyone wants actual images let me know which ones you'd like. Thanks again Billy and Nina.

P.S. My pre-cruise rain dance was a blessing. Thank god I didn't need to use my top (aka tonneau cover).

Cheers,

Scotty

Cool pix Scott...thanks for sharing..you rock my Scottish buddy! Did you see the x-mas tree from Scotland at the Library? Had bottles of Scotch and haggis (sp?) as ornaments!!

And you have to drink a LOT of Scotch to then take a bite of that Haggis! Bleeaack!!!!

Great photos, Scott. You did some really cool editing on those.
It was a really cold ride home, but I wouldn't have missed it.
Great hanging out with everyone.
Let's do this again soon.

Robert, when is movie night? what are you refurbishing? Do you need a hand? Good to see you last Sat.

what a weekend Sat with the speedster group and then sunday at the FOX NFL studios in LA

last one

Gerd, those cardboard figures almost look real....good work...

Vince,
Bloody Marys at 8:30 am in the Avocado room.

Hey Mark,

I am replacing the standard metal stair rail with a custom one that I am going to fabricate. I will definitely let you know if I need a hand, thanks.
I am aiming for January for the movie night.
I will post something in the events forum as I get closer to nailing down a date.

I, for one, am looking forward to living vicariously through Robert....loft, artist, no kids, rocker, teacher, hot blonde.....this dude has it all!! :)

I can't argue with Rock-a-Billy on this one....

Thanks Billy,

I am sure there are quite a few people who wouldn't mind walking in your shoes too!

Movie and bar hopping soon! I promise.

Thanks Robert....hope we are invited to the shin-dig!

Absolutely! everyone, speedster, spider, or whatever you're driving is invited.

Congratulations on the sale.

RB, thanks...will join the ranks of the S(O)C again in Spring....

Billy - Just because you sold your car, it doesn't mean you're out of the SOC (despite what the 'O' stands for). Once you've been assimilated into the collective, you're in for good.

Thanks Lane...sounds like a cult....I love cults!!!
