Montezuma Mexican Restaurant

But is it as good as "El Bronco"? Ask Chris, Lenny, and I about that in a few weeks...
LOL!
Yeah, you guys were still suffering the aftermath of El Bronco when you made it to Maggie Valley last year. 
#83 It's called El Rodeo and I like to put my reservation in now. It it's a good place.
Trust me as I recommend Montezuma's
According to Google maps, it's almost an hour away. It may be 20 minutes from Shippensburg, but we ain't there this year.
El Rodeo is only ten minutes. Never been there, but an hour ride after Mexican may not be wise...

Thanks for the catch Danny, a Senior Moment ...I was thinking Shippensburg to Chambersburg .
Danny, Glenn and I went to el rodeo many times but the last time instead of splitting a second margarita we thought a pitcher was a better idea. Glenn wanted to walk back and leave the car there. I talked him out of that ridiculous idea and we made it back but we don't know how. Distance is not the problem.

Blasphemy! Thou shall not speak I'll of "the The Bronco"
While I really feel bad about it, I will not be attending. If I did, I would have to find a new place to live when I got back home.
I got my registration materials today - number 9. I will send them to anyone who wants them.
Michael sorry you won’t be able to join in. I’d like to buy your registration materials. Let me know the cost and I’ll reimburse you.
Thanks,
Marshall
No cost. PM your address.
Carlisle is just three weeks away! Be sure the call the hotel and make your reservations looking forward to seeing Ed's Spyder and Lanes Coupe!
I managed to find some sanitizer for Carlisle. All ready!!
What's the headcount @Alan Merklin?

Chris I get the weekly count from the hotel on Monday's and will post the latest.
Greetings,
I was wondering whether anyone has plans to bring any SOC badges to Carlyle for sale? I'd like to place it along-side of my Stuttgart badge.
If not, does anyone know how I'd go about finding one?
Thanks,
Marshall
The blue ones were originally done in 2006 when my car was built at the show, and were made by SOC folks for SOC folks, so the only way to get one is from SOC folks. Maybe somebody has a leftover. the later "Welcome to the Madness" were done by Rich Drewek for SOC folks, and I don't know if there are any leftovers. I have one that's going on my Coupe. You won't find a vendor that makes them.
That's true - I only made 52 of the blue, "Speedsters Meet Spyders" badge and all of them got scooped up. I guess that makes them pretty rare, but I have no plans to make any more of them.
I was not involved with either of the SOC badges so can't help you there.
You might consider joining a 356 group in your area. If you have one and they accept your replica (most will with no hassle) many 356 clubs around the country have grill badges available to members, like this one from New England:
Carlisle is just 18 days away ! We'll see Lane's coupe, and Ed's Spyder and other recent builds too. If you have not done so, call the hotel and reserve your room asap. Join us for the cruises, socializing, Carlisle show field, the must do "egg sammich" experience and consumption of an occasional adult beverage. Maddie and Ron who bring boxes of munchie snacks will not be in attendance this year so be sure to pick up a couple bags of your favorite snacks to share. Please bring an item or two ( does not have to be car related) for the Raffle. Tickets will be $1 each or an arm's length for $5 this covers our misc. costs each year & Ed will be posting the cruises etc.
Whatever happened to @Rich Drewek and his famous T-Shirts and other memorabilia. I guess with the low turn out this year it may not be worthwhile for him to do it.
Wish we could be there.

Rich is in the excavating stages of building their dream house he designed on a lake.
He bought his own excavator to do the work. At least, that's what he said.
