I'll bet that if Wolfgang finished his car and came to Carlisle everyone would also come just to see it and him.

If Wolfgang brought it to Carlisle on a trailer I would take it home and finish it ... I'm just hoping he leaves it in his Will for me :~)
Carlisle Weekend.... Respond here by this coming Sunday pm if you are attending as I'll need a head count to confirm our pending room block which has a minimum room count requirement. Alan
Count me in for sure. I will bring the Magnum if it is ready or my Lotus Evora.
Alan, Glenn and I made our reservation awhile ago. Supposedly we got the discount.
That is when I posted re: Greta is now the contact person. Paul
Alan
Headed that way for Carlisle
We'll be there.
Including Schu (above) 4 TD people (plus moi) say they're coming: Bill Ascheman's a go. Bill and Audrey Haas are also coming, as well as Al Greig. There's a fifth TD guy as well, but he's booked into another hotel already.
Count me in.
Count me in.
Carlisle 2023 ..... Paul & Glen, Bruce & Norma, Dale S, Jimmy V, Ed, Chris, Phil, Kelly
Estimate: 9-10 Rooms ...... 2 - Speedsters , 3 - Spyders 3 other TD's & 2 - Misc.
I will not be able to be there this year...
Hey folks I just spoke to Greta at the hotel. We are set, hospitality room is as usual, invoking "Speedster Owners Group" should get you in with us. Call the front desk at (717) 766-9006 and if there's trouble or questions check in with Greta Bowring directly (717) 458-0531
She says currently Paul & Glenn, Al Greig, me and Dr. Clock are booked in our room block. If you booked in Courtyard by Marriott Mechanicsburg already and are not any of the above people you might be leaving a couple of dollars on the table.
By the way, if you're coming, bring friends. No Speedsters, Spyders or MGs required. If you're on another car enthusiast board on Facebook or elsewhere, let them know.
... I was wondering. So we are on, if even a little thin. Will get on the room list pronto. All winter refurbs should be complete by then. At least that is the plan.
Kelly, what refurbishments are you doing besides the transmission and carbs? Whatever, get er done.
Hi folks,
A little late to the party ....
Susanne and I are headed to Europe May 14. Some touring, but ultimately for a wedding in Dresden Germany, with an add-on to Stockholm to see some of my family.
While I might make a day trip, the full Carlisle weekend is off the table for me this year. I'll miss seeing everyone!
Paul
@Paul Mossberg, if I haven't already said so, congratulations.
Refurbs: rebuilt trans, renewed half shaft CVs and bearings, new rotors at rear, new tires, repaint the front end (road damage on Carlisle trip last year, plus road rash) poly-film thing on front end, front wheel bearings, Magnaspark dizzy and coil/wires, carb balance, timing. Minor, nit-picky things . . . The usual 20K mile maintenance (??!)
Oh yeah, just the little stuff.🤪
will be looking to @edsnova for updates and assurances that he has his head in to this and we have some sort of adventures planned.

@El Frazoo Bruce Stumpp has posted some information on the Speedster Facebook page about the weekend.
Thursday, May 11, all are welcome to join me on The Bank Run.
Leaving the Courtyard by Marriott in Camp Hill at 9:45, we'll take a spirited hour-and-fifteen minute tour over country roads to the First National Bank Museum in Columbia, PA, where Nora (daughter of the original museum conservators) will give us the $10 tour of the only mid-1800s bank in America that's been preserved in its original building, followed by lunch at Hinkles, a 124 year old restaurant and former pharmacy.
After that you can retrace the scenic route or hustle back to the hotel on the highway.
More later.
Maybe not a good day on which to advertise a bank run...
You may want to make this a separate topic under Events.

Au contraire mon frère - the joke is ripe, like a pomegranate.
All goes well I will be ready for the run next year this time, until then I may need to visit just to keep my momentum going on the project and check out the other cars from the site.
I plan to get some photos up on a thread soon of status to track it and get some feedback.
@Michael McKelvey posted:You may want to make this a separate topic under Events.
Michael. It's on the Thursday of the Carlisle weekend, so not really a separate event.
Early arrivals for the weekend may want to participate. Sounds like fun.
You're right. I didn't realize it was the same weekend.
In past years a number of people arrive on Wednesday.....
I'm afraid that Chris and I started that trend (arriving on Wednesday) when I was event organizer just so we could tie up any loose ends before everyone arrived. Once word got out we were getting there early a whole bunch of adventure-starved people started showing up Wednesday, too. That might be when we all discovered the Caddy Shack restaurant, over at the Armitage Golf Course in Mechanicsburg. It was light years better than "Hoss's (sp) Steak House" in Carlisle.
Gordon, so we'll see you on Wednesday ?

Cool so it is Greta. I am waiting for her to call me back. I am hoping Carey will have my Magnum GT finished in time to bring it. It should really zip with the Suby power.

I pulled up behind a blue Z with two white stripes the other day. Had a personalized plate: Z VIPER. When the light changed I found out why. I hope I see it at a C&C this summer. I’d love to see how he wedged a V10 in that engine bay.
In related news, the guy that welded my cookie cutter was building this:

Um... Wow!

Did you gentlemen ever see "Blue Mamba"?
This car was built about 10 years ago in a tiny little farm town less than an hour from my front door - which I think is pretty fantastic.
The link is to an article with some build photos. It's a SEMA car, so not my bag of chips... but it's also a V10 Ghia, so how can anybody not love that?
I'd happily roll it.
