Cars & Coffee: Hunt Valley MD

Daaaaaang!  We figure it's a big day if we get 10% of that.

I'm gonna try to get up there with something.

Ed,

    A group of us from Pennsylvania may try and make it next Saturday, I'll bring it up tomorrow at our local C & C.

Chuck

Won't have the Speedster yet, but I may show up with my 39.... look for the ugly ass car with the surfboards on top! (LOL)

I'll have to miss June 1 in Hunt Valley, the NSRA Streetrod Nationals East will be in York with 3,800 streetrods that weekend so I'll have the track roadster there instead.  

I didn't realize how small that car is until I saw this picture.  Wow.

Don't you have another street rod as well?  Y'all could have two entrants.

I'll try to make it with my RSR

York is a great time.  I don't often make it 'til late because it's usually the same weekend as Fords at Carlisle, but this year...hmmmmmm...

BTW Puffinator, I saw your car at the Chesapeake Challenge last year and never picked up on the fact that it was a replica.  If I remember correctly, didn't they move you onto the grass with the "real" cars?

I didn't enter anything at Chesapeake Challenge, neither the concours nor the car show, I just parked my car in the parking lot.  While I was judging the concours someone else put an entry on my car. However it did fool a lot of people.  Two fellows one with the original Speedster and the other with a cabriolet didn't realize it was a replica but once I told them they became very interested in buying a coupe.  Their cars have become so valuable, they seldom drive them.

Yup, I got some off handed advice from a friend of mine with a real speedster to buy a replica we could enjoy rather than a garage queen that we'd be afraid to drive.  That's how I ended up here.  

Bruce, This will be the first York I've missed in so long I can't remember, 20, 30 years? Saddly I have to miss beause of some Jerry Springer BS, LOL...... But I do remember seeing your car, loved it! I've always said there was a track nose T in my future some day.... I hope you have lots of fun.

A group of us from Pennsylvania attended Hunt Valley C & C this morning, fabulous. The favorite car among all the outstanding cars was without a doubt was Rob's RSR tribute. I was parked next to him with Maggie's Coupe and everyone who passed by told Rob that it was their favorite car (and there must have been 300+ cars there).When Rob when for coffee, I pretended it was mine (not really Rob) and attempted to answer everyone's questions (I couldn't). We will attend again next month. Thanks Rob for sharing it with everyone.

Without a doubt.  That Viper Green RSR is incredible.

Thanks guys.  Needless to say, I love it.

NICE! The Holy Grail of long-nose 911's! 

...and that photo doesn't even come close to doing it justice.

Chuck,

Did Posie show up at HVCC?

Bruce,

   Yes, we all drove down together, Posie in his outlandish E-type Jaguar, Italian Joe in his Maserati, two newer 911's, me in Maggie's Coupe, Pete in a 1964 Corvette. Passed many a neat car either heading to or from the York show as well.

Posie's Jag is a hoot. He is too. Seems like a great guy and the car looks like he knows his way around it.

I have to say, Chris's new Vintage is absolutely stunning. There were folks crowded around it.

I posted up about the event with a few pics.

Thanks man.  I was pleased.  That was a whole 20 mile run from my house and it's as far as I've been so far. I have to be out of town for a couple of weeks but when I get back I reeeeeaaaallly need to get someone who knows how to tune these things to have a go at it.  It stalls at idle (sometimes) and surges upon easy acceleration.  It spits back through the carbs at steady speed and does a weird thing that almost feels like a miss, but it's not. It's fuel related.  

Wasn't it you who mentioned a guy who knew these carbs?  I talked to so many people on Saturday, I lost track. I'm sure the right guy could smooth it right out.

Paging Danny P? 'course he's up in NY somewhere.

Or if you want some adventure you could head to North Ave. in Baltimore City. No, really! Montez Jordan is the guy to see--or so I'm told. Been meaning to make his acquaintance so if you want company when you drop by his shop give me a holler.

I recently read an article about Montez Jordan.  But, do I have enough bullets to take my car over there? That's the question...

It's probably fine. I don't think I'd leave it overnight but don't know his setup. He probably locks everything inside. He's there forever so people give respect; break-ins would be the occasional junkie, is my guess. I would not wander around there alone at night without good reason though.

If I hadn't just solved my backfire problem with Wobby's help (and tape) I'd be looking for an appointment with him.

Ed (et al), my son is coming in a couple weeks, and we'll have at least one opportunity to do a Cars & Coffee -- either Burtonsville or up in Bruce's neighborhood -- with both the 914 and the Hoopty.

We'll be fresh back from the Corn Daze bit, and full of piss and vinegar. Up for suggestions.

Anyone going to the Hunt Valley Cars & Coffee this Saturday AM?  I'll have the '37 sedan instead of the Speedster because our son and family are in town and don't all fit in the Speedster.  Rich Moure may be there with his Speedster, need to confirm..     

Bruce,

   Would love to see your 37 at Hunt Valley, but the Antique Automobile Club Assoc. Museum (AACA) is having there 10th anniversary car show. Supposedly Porsche is the featured Marque we are taking our 912 and Maggie's Coupe. Our little group from Hershey will certainly attend Hunt Valley a couple more times this summer. The AACA Museum is less than 10 minutes from my home.

Chuck

Just read that Motorweek is coming to Hunt Valley on August 10th to film an installment.

Yeah, I hate to miss the Aug 10 gathering and Motorweek...sounds like another big day for Hunt Valley Cars & Coffee.  Will have to miss it though - I'll be checking off another item on my bucket list that weekend at the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speedweek.  

Bruce,

   Are you driving to Bville ?

Chuck

No, flying.  Do you know if Posie is going this year? 

Don't think so, he is at the beach in S.C. for 2 weeks I believe.

19652plus2, first, what's your real name?

If you come to Alan's Speedster Palooza, I can take a look, no problem. I love Webers, and carbs in general. We usually get along!!!

Sorry, my name is Chris.

What's Speedster Palooza, where and when?

Chris  Look under events..... 

Eds Nova,

   A bunch of us from Pennsylvania attended today, came by your car several times, sorry I missed you. We met John Davis from "Motorweek". Some really great cars again.

  BTW, check your dialogs. Chuck

Anyone have pictures? I heard this was one of the best/

Thanx for the pics. Glenn went with his Z-car and called me going nuts.

Paul

Pretty cool mix of vehicles!
