Carlisle 2021 After-Action Report

Thanks Bill

Great shots, Bill !  I hope you felt welcome, we were all new here once. Next year there will be more people and more cars. (I hope)

Me too Al me too !

Next year, the massive Canadian contingent will be there... 

Glad you enjoyed your first SOC Carlisle gathering.

Great shots, but I can't figure out why Lane was smiling so much.

Bill, thanks for sharing those Carlisle pics!  We were bummed we couldn't attend this year, but next year for sure!

Outstanding pics! Seems like everybody had a good time. That's great.

I enjoyed the closeups of faces.

thanx for pics...makes me feel better......thought I was the only "old" fart on here

The Spyders are multiplying!  Is the gun metal gray with red interior DrClock's latest?

What is the Morgan looking polished aluminum/brass car with skinny motorcycle tires?  Interesting for sure.

Thanks for saying so. It's a kind of photo, and camera, that I like a lot because I can do them from across the room without flash and without butting in for a posed photo with a plastic smile.

I was in line next to him at the entrance and shouted through the passenger window to ask him where on the grounds he would be. Kind of a steam-punk look, especially as he was driving with goggles on. He was parked with the Triumph contingent but the engine was a big BMW flat twin. The hood badge helped me google and find https://www.pembleton.co.uk/ . It looks like it has no front brakes; a relief to read that the front brakes are present but mounted inboard.

Talk about a Morgan clone.  The four wheeler is different, but the three wheeler really copies a Morgan three wheeler.

Those are just well-earned smile lines.

Great pics. I will probably never make it across the puddle for the meet in person, so this is a perfect way to get to see faces and the vehicles. Thanks!

Great pics, Bill.  I enjoyed getting to know you a bit at dinner last night, although it was mostly Carey an me talking 🥴.

I enjoyed myself; you both have better stories than mine, and I was pleased to hear that your punch-list for the car was so relatively short. Vitally important, but short.

Bill I think that was Lane’s grin when he got the car you captured the moment beautifully

So happy to see the video @Chris MacDonald and the pics @wrkinprogress. I was bummed to miss this years show and  great weather. With sports season pushed I was preoccupied with my son's track meet and prom activities.

It does appear that the camera adds 40# to one's photo or is that Covid comfort eating?  My wife keeps asking when "I'm due" to give birth.

I’m calling mine the COVID 19#

Yeah, I'm looking like "Pudgy the Whale" these days, and I LOST 10 lbs. !!!

Bill, those are some fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing them.
