Vallejo, CA luncheon this Thursday

Let's try another, the last one was great fun.

Applebee's in VALLEJO, CA on Thursday Nov.18, at noon. Applebee's is on Admiral Calahan next to Home Depot.

I will be leaving Dixon about 11:20 if anyone wants to drive down together.

Paul and Dale are confirmed.

Dale, girls.....Won't be able to make it this week,,,,The Sherriff's in town. I'll look for you next time



Thanks

Dale:

Although I will driving the wrong kind of car, I will be there.

Bill

Bill, I drive a honda too. Will have the speedster at lunch.

I waited as long as possible, but I can't get out of an appointment Thursday.

Vallejo is too far of a reach for a "wage slave" like myself to stretch a lunch hour.

Have Fun.

Brian.

Me too, but you guys keep us updated on the 05 Knotts agenda!

I'm also too fart o make it.
MM... I'll be sending you a Tupperware container in the mail for X-Mas with something "creative" inside, as it really doesn't belong to us. My kid thanks you for the candy, my dentist for the business & I thank you for the miniature Tabasco bottles. I bought the right funnel (thanks for the specs GB) & now have a big bottle totally full.
My wife misses the Ole Paul & thinks you need to go back to sleeping on our lawn... :O)~R

Ahhh, sobriety!
A little over a hundred days behind me and a lifetime ahead of me... Alas there are many wives and lawns missing the 'Ole Paul'

Juat kiddin' Dude.Next time stop in & say Hi.You usually deliver the paper & stay for awhile. We're proud of you! I'll even drink some O'Douls with ya.:O)~R

Paul, nice exit from applebee's parking lot! If we keep meeting for lunch, we might need a lawyer! That was better than leaving Knott's!

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug!

Paul, Dale:

Thanks for all the advice and great company.

From my perspective (way back there, in no time at all..), I can say right now, I did not order a big enough engine!

Bill

Bill,

The phase (phases) you're going through with the car's build are normal... Second-guessing decisions made and agonizing over decisions yet to be seems to consume all of us.

The first pictures you showed us really were like the best of a traditional re-creation, red car, tannish (cork) interior and oatmeal carpets, black top.

Then you look at a black car and you think, "oh yeah, of course, black is best!"

Well, you're in a win-win situation my friend. The car you had pictured and the ones you saw out in the parking lot are all good. Dale's is the epitome of classic, mine is a driver, both black, his shines nicer, but hey, it's all good.

You think a little like an outlaw so maybe you go back to traditional color combo and buy a bigger motor, a cool compromise, no flaring needed. It's all good.

Oh, and I think you need the speedster, not the roadster. It showed in your eyes, dude!

Bill, did you see how I left Paul and the monster in the dust?!! Man, that felt great! Of course after he got through the traffic he "blurred" me. Street racing is not safe. We were not racing. Paul's car is a LITTLE faster and I know it. I would never do that on the street. We were just a little exuberant, that's all. Really.

I sold my car too soon. I might have to call Henry and order an '06.

Dale: RRRRRiiiigggghhhtt (like Dr. Evil does it). All I know is you and Paul put a smile on all those kids faces in the minivan ahead of me, come to think of it, the soccer mom had a smile on her face as well. Now if it were a couple of Corvettes, the kids probably would still have been smiling, but I guarentee you the mother would not.

Paul: Actually, right now I am ok with what I have coming. I think my track racing experience kinda took the edge off my desire to go extra fast on the street, or maybe it is just old age, I dunno. It's funny though, you are right about what you saw in my eyes. Although the current car is not going to be it, a Speedster Hotrod is definitely in my future someday and it will be a lot closer to reproduction of an EP racer, than a box stock road goer. You know, 911 suspension, maybe a 911 engine or a Type 4 like yours, 901 Gear Box, no hub caps, bumpers, louvers, etc.

Vince: It's all relative I guess. My wife thinks, compared to what I used to spend racing cars in SCCA events for what ends up being a really ugly trophy, an IM Build is cheap! In fact, about a build a year, would still be considered.....cheap.
