Just placed my order. WOOHOO!!!! Let the countdown BEGIN!!! 
Looks like I ordered too soon. 
Thanks for the tip, WB!! 
An expensive lesson (all of $7). Patience is a virtue, John. 
I've forwarded the Carlisle email to several of my Cars & Coffee friends and it looks like we may actually have a Charleston caravan this year. Now we gotta wait for the hotel notice to come from Alan or Bill and it'll on for real.
One of my C&C buddies has registered and plans to bring his Morgan +8. It has been in the family since new (originally his dad's) and has had the Rover V8 replaced in recent years with a Pontiac Solstice drive train. Lighter, faster, and more reliable than the aging Rover lump. I've driven it (RHD) and it is a hoot!
Ordered up - Michelle and I are in! Looks like I have to take the Speedster off the market and ditch the Model A instead!
Rick: Bring the "A" along, too. Just tell people it's a street rod kit - nobody will know 
What year is that, '29? Looks similar to my '30 "A" parts chaser truck I had back in the early '70's. Eventually it had a Pinto 2,300cc engine/transmission - pretty much the same displacement as the original engine, but a bit(?) more reliable....
Hiya Gordon! "Hank" is a 1930, restored rumble seat coupe. Not as fast as the Speedster, BUT it does handle like hell!
Hey, 7 bucks is 7 bucks...that's a full tank of premium in the tub!

Only have a two gallon tank in the tub?

No, I mix the gas with gin, rubbing alcohol, and fish paralyzer for an "extra 750 more RPM's" cocktail! 
Amy and I are planning to attend the festivites again next year as well. My SAS will still be several years in the making so we will be bringing my "tweener" that I purchased this October to keep me busy until my speedster is done. It is a restored 1960 MG MGA. I hope it will be ok for us the crash the party again. Even though I don't actually have a speedster in my posession yet, I feel more like a speedster owner than an MG owner.
Looking forward to seeing you both again Stuart...feel free to park that beautiful MG next to me (leave the keys in it!)
OK, time to kick the Carlisle fever up a notch with a rehash of last year's shenanigans...

Looking forward to seeing my knucklehead SOC buddies at Carlisle 2014!
I'm in. The featured marque of the year is "British."
It's starting to sound like it's gonna be a big deal this year - even more than usual. Ah... I love the run up to Carlisle.
I am hopeful that I'll be able to caravan with a couple of the Midwest guys heading to Carlisle? Anyone interested?
Alan,
That is a possibility. This way I can get off the Toll Road in IN & Ohio which has been loaded with construction the past few years. Not sure who plans to go from my area.
Me too, Lane. We do some pretty exotic travel each year but the highlight for me is Carlisle!
How can someone East of the Mississippi (or 300 miles West) own a Speedster and not do the run to Carlisle? Until they do they don't understand how much of Speedsterdom is about the folks rather than just the cars.
Jim ---it wouldn't be the same without you! Great you'll be there again!
Thanks for the heads-up WildBill. I'm registered too. Looks like it's going to be another fun year!
We're in! As long as the ailing mothers are doing ok and the speedster is back together ,we'll be there. My avatar is holding an egg sammich in anticipation .
Me too. It looks like all the usual suspects, which is a good thing!
First time I decided to catch the discount and register this early!
Thanks to The Dude.
I'm registered, however may have to drive the 912 or a new Cayman "S" that's OK right ?
I think we'll let you in, Chuck, as long as you bring Maggie along.
We're booked for the Show and the Hotel. Not sure where we'll be inbound from tho'.
Thanks Lane !
Duh...
I've misplaced Marriott Motel registration info (email) for Carlisle in May
Don't think it's come out yet, Carl.

I dunno, Al.......That looks suspiciously like a Quahog to me...
Maybe we need to do a big event on the shore in New England and introduce everyone to "Stuffies".
From Wikipedia: "Stuffed clams (or stuffies) are popular in New England and consist of a breadcrumb and minced clam mixture that is baked on the half shell of a quahog hard shell clam. Other ingredients typically found in the basic breadcrumb mixture are: meat such as sausage, bacon or chouriço (Portuguese sausage), chili pepper, lemon juice, celery, garlic, spices and herbs. There are many different recipes for stuffed clams; many restaurants in New England have their own variety, as do many home cooks."
Gordon, lets crash at Al and Heidi's place. I'll pick you up on the way!
I like stuffed clams!

BWAH HAH hah!!!!
That really sounds tasty. Let's all crash at Al and Heidi's for the holidays.
Bring it on! You're all welcome. Heidi makes the best stuffed clams on the Cape and the Winter shellfish here is unbelievable. The weather is a little better here than most of New England. Sunny, 45 degrees, bare ground and dry roads. The only problem is that the weather will stay pretty much like that until June. Speedster weather if you dress warm.
And that is an egg sammich getting ready to disappear the day before we were heading to Carlisle 2012.
