Gentlemen, start your Tivo's.

I'm one of those slugs that doesn't have the Speed channel.

If there is some speedster footage, what are the chances of some one turning that portion into a MPG or AVI for web viewing?

Jerome

I can make a DVD of it and then cut the portion related to speedsters. If there is a lot of footage I'll make you a video creation by steven!!!

Bitchin'

I'm not holding my breath. The article in the local paper mentioned that they keyed in on certain shows and ours wasn't on the list. I was going to go to the premier at the Carlisle Theater last Thurs. but it snowed here. I don't know if they held it or not. The snow date was for tonite but we got more snow last night.

Thanks for the reminder, John.

It will be interesting to see what's in the video. Keep in mind Carlisle has two locations: the one in PA and one somewhere in the midwest (?). They also have no less than 10 events at the PA location during the year, some of which are huge and cover the entire grounds! Of these, the Import/Replicar event is one of the smaller events but, if nothing else, it will be interesting to see what they say and give everyone an idea of what they offer.

Let's face it, the Speedsterowners are the most interesting group of all at Carlisle. If the TV producers didn't figure that out, it's them that came up short. JMHO.

Last year they stopped by Saturday morning and said they would be by later in the afternoon to do some filming and interviews. Either I missed them or they didn't come back but apparently there was some interest. Maybe this year is our chance - bring your sunglasses and be a star!

ik weet niet wanneer we weer naar Nederland komen, maar hopelijk gauw. Als je me je e-mail adres geeft dan laat ik je het weten.
Jammer genoeg kan ik de foto's van jouw auto niet zien.

Huh?

Probably featured will be the "Spring" "Corvettes" "GM" "Ford" Chrysler" "Bikes" "Trucks" and "Fall Carlisle"...there are the large Carlisle events.

Alan,

Think you are right. "Old Cars Weekly" mentioned the program and mentioned the big shows and nada about the import/kit car show but will watch for it anyway. Article said 9PM, assume that is for all time zones.

Bruce

Even Ebert & Roper wouldn't have lasted all the way through that program.
Production values kind of low, even for the Speed Channel.
Not a Speedster to be seen, either.
A yawner.

Nothing but a commercial for Carlisle.

I switched channels halfway thru the Mopar segmant, yawn. That Car Crazy guy, Barry Maquire is about as obnoxious as Joan Rivers. Don't think I'll buy any more of his products. His Car Crazy program is all HIM, shows a distant view of the car and owner and never gives any details to some neat old cars, get the hook!

Bruce

Did anyone else notice that they said the word Carlisle about a thousand times. After 15 minutes my left the room. I hung in there another twenty minutes. Pretty boring. Bruce is right: a Carlisle commercial with Maguires a close second.

The only "surprise" for me was that the guy on the Segway is a friend of mine!

And that was actually more interesting then the rest of it. I gave up on old Barry....he is just too annoying for me? Do you think they will show up this year? Heck no! I think Carlisle must have paid them to come out? Is Barry a slut or what? You would think he wouldn't need the money, but then again I think its all about him being on TV. He kind of the Trump of the autoworld, just wants to be noticed and famous?

I think a better host would be "Mr. Mustache" himself.

Alan,

Exactly. He actually is interested in the cars and not his own image! After all, a guy with a mustache like that had better have something on the ball about cars!

Bruce

Interestingly, I considered getting Dennis Gage to come to Carlisle last year. After reading his site to see the advance information he wanted I gave up as quickly as people stopped watching Mr. Meguiar! I'm surprised Gage didn't include buying him a car to drive to the fairgrounds! Haven't looked this year, maybe this changed.

Don't know what to say about the Carlisle show. The did focus on the bigger shows they run - not many places can say they host the largest Corvette show. Their fall and spring swap meets are also huge. For my nickel, they should have had equal time coverage for each of the 11 annual events over the hour. And yes, Barry is getting too full of himself.

So, in summary, what did Barry do well? He managed to put me to sleep during one of the segments.....can't be all bad. But don't you just hate waiting days for a show with eager anticipation and then get the treatment like last night. Bruce is right. Get the hook, a big one!
