WIN A CAR!

Every year at the Import & Kit Nationals weekend Carlisle gives a car away on Sunday afternoon between 3 and 4:00 PM. A 1976 Toyota Corolla may not be everyone's favorite but you're included in the drawing for the price of your registration and how many car shows that you attend give away a car? Here's the scoop from Carlisle's website:

"On Sunday May 22nd we will draw the winner for this 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback. It

That was my first car...seriously. There were high heel marks on the headliner :)

Long time ago I did pop up sun roofs as a PT income... a
A pretty 5' Italian girl ( yes, heels too) and installed one in her yellow Mustang II.
A few weeks later, she calls and needs a replacent glass, rolls in the shop and I ask: .........." How did it break? "

"I was in the back seat with my BF, I broke it with my heel"

Love the story, Alan....I remember leaving "cheek" marks on the rear window of my Vega hatchback, if you know what I mean...

My girlfriend at the time hated the piano hinge that made a flat floor when you folded the seat, it left a mark on her back, oops!

Actually, imagine a '76 Roller with modern EFI and crankfire, ala Megasquirt, it would get even better mileage wouldn't it, especially with $4 a gallon BS prices!!!!!!!!

So Danny, what was it you were doing back there?? Oh, I see: Megasquirt. Right . . .

...hopefully it wasn't a premature Megasquirt!

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

NEVER premature!, glad to see you guys are on the ball, so to speak!!

OY!

FRIDAY NIGHT CRUISE MAXED OUT!

We have hit our max count for the Friday night dinner at the Rustic Tavern. The restaurant won't be able to handle any more people but there are many other eating establishments available in the area.

Oh crap, I didn't see an invite to the Dinner, hopefully I'm on the list. BTW I will have a "hall Pass" since Jan will be looking around Knoxville with Mrs Hoss while I'm there in Carlisle.


OOOPS! Senior moment, I see where I sent in my RSVP back in January.

So Sarah and Jan aren't coming, huh? Methinks that Hoss and Nolan are gonna be kookin' for some trouble this year. We'll have to keep our eyes on them just in case they get too rowdy ;-)

Spoken by the Lone Ranger? or is it Lane Ranger, lol.

Why the latter, of course.

"Hi-yo, Silver! Away!"

Says the ever trendy Wild Bill :-) Dig that "murse", Bill!

Bruce - Steve and I have a few things to donate to the raffle. Can you PM me an address where us lowly out-of-towners can send stuff?

High heels would make it the perfect ensemble.

And where the hell's his Hawaiian shirt????

That pic is so old I don't think I had any at that time.
And that Kodak I was carrying has been long gone.

Angela,

I sent you a PM. Thanks for raffle contributions!

Alright, I've made the first step and registered today. A $20 investment in entry fees will certainly keep me from backing out now! I communicated with a few of the Illinois and Michigan contingency and a possible caravan conection is in order. Now my next step...LODGING. I've taken a peek at the Hotel Carlisle where it appears many of the SO.com group stay and hold some activities. However, the place gets some pretty bad reviews. Do you guys trash this place everytime you show up? At this stage, I haven't called to see if there's even any rooms available...anyone have any other choices you might recommend? Or should I just brave the bed bugs and cold, rusty water complaints?

Rich, shur's picy ain't he! But has good taste ...a Beck!

Should this mountain blockader bring a mountain supper? Recommended menu:

Creamed Possum garnished with coon grease gravy
Rosted sweet tater
Buttermilk biscuits, butter and moleasses

All chased with blockade whisky!

Just really hoping for hot water, that's all I ask. It doesn't even have to be clean, just hot. AND, if someone would answer the phone there so I could make a reservation, well, that would be real speciaal. I never ate possum but did kick one out of my garage last month.

Okay, I have totally commited myself to this trip...Confirmation # for the Hotel Carlisle in hand. Arriving Thursday and staying for the duration. Now who was that that promised me one of these egg sammiches?

Egg sammie on me, Rich!

Alright, got my first breakfast paid for...who's next?

I'm really not a cheap skate, just taking whatever someone wants to donate.

Lane, I'm looking forward to checking out your side curtains. Bring them along rain or snow.

Rich,
Ask to see Kelly's "rain hats" too! Glad your coming. You'll surely not regret it. Great event,and lots of fun! Tradition has it,that we all wear hawaiian shirts for the Saturday night dinner. The flashier the better.

Hmmmmmmm, Hawaiian shirts. It sorta snowed here today. Hard to think Hawaiian today.
I'll start rummaging through the back of closet now, maybe it will bring some warm weather.

OK, Gents,
I'll have the RAMPS!They's for the egg sammies!

OK, Gents,
I'll have the RAMPS!They's for the egg sammies!

Should I be bringing my own salt & pepper shakers?

Sorta look like spring onions.
