Who's registered for Carlisle? I need to know!

Add me to the list Big Daddy!

Bruce

Please add my name to the list.

Lew

I'm registered and roomed..............

Everybody please note!! Carlisle just notified me - the tent deadline is April 21st (not April 30th) so keep 'em coming!

Me Me Me!

I will unfortunately not make it this year. Too many things on the plate. I will certainly miss the event. It was an amazing cordial way to see our Speedster friends and their cars. The up close and personal attention to detail and more. I for one will miss it. :(

I just registered.

Surely, George will bring his little beauty??

At this point in time George isn't sure about his little beauty... or do you mean my car?

Hmmm never refered to mine as "beauty"

Mike, I'm heartbroken! We'll have to take a raincheck on that beer we were going to share. Would you send your inflatable mechanic along anyway? Just ship "her" to the motel and I promise "she" will be waited on hand and foot, kept out of the bright sunshine and returned safely to Quebec. I'm a man of my word. So there.

Johnny2bolts is added to the list. Come on guys, we're almost half way there!

Ill be there. I will do my best to get registered by the end of the week. Lots of great people and a great time. There is nothing like driving down the highway with a group of speedsters heading to the local saloon.

Tom is the car you recently purchased up and running?

Hey Steve,
John and I will start on it next week. I have every thing to build it now including four wheel disc,wide fives with nipple caps,new tranny,ect. This week Im installing the emblems,lights,and trim. I still would love to have had your car.

The one your building will be cool though..sorry about the temporary hijacking of the thread.

Think eggs Bob :) .....Hope to see you there !

Thanks Bruce...looking forward to matching some faces to the names that I have been reading all winter. The good weather can't come fast enough! I'll be sure to bring down some real beer with me and maybe some other goodies too! First time owner...I have yet to drive the car more than fifty feet from the trailer to the garage!...just picked it up two weeks ago!
I'm still pinching myself...
See you guys in the spring

Bob Carley - are you going to caravan down in your Miata with him? Don't forget, it's a replica AND Import show!


My smiley face is coming---honest!!

Bruce, I think I may be able to go. I just got my class reunion notice and it's the following weekend. I'll try and make a reservation after checking things with my wife. I would love to make the trip, pick up Ben on the way, enjoy the Speedster fraternity and eye candy, and see PA for the first time in my life.

Dealing with insurance after losing a hot water pipe in the slab. Yipee!

Jim,

The water pipe fiasco echos with me. Our old home in Illinois was in a subdivision that had the first homes built with the in slab heating.These homes were probably built in the early 60's. Many of them also developed the same problem as you are having, ugly for sure. The homes were old enough that the builder wouldn't cover jack s***. Don't know what kind of insurance relief they had. My home was on a slab but had the forced air heating and cooling, guess you get lucky a few times in your life. Good luck with the insurance guys, I'm thinking they should come thru even though it wouldn't be considered an act of God. At least it is getting warmer by now so the lack of radient heating for a while shouldn't be too bad, Electric blankets, can't be beat, or maybe a big warm dog!

Bruce

Tom Buchanan is added to the list!

Allan Shapiro is registered and added to the list! He will be stylin' and profilin' in his new Alan Merklin-built Streetbeat creation.

WOW!!! Alan must plan on really working a lot on that baby.

Bruce,

Al

Hey Al!

Weren't you lurking around Carlisle LAST year??

Allen,

Al not starting on your car till after Carlisle will work out nicely. You can feel free to go over every inch of my SB at Carlisle. And I will be happy to point out the few trouble spots I found.

Jerome

PS: One of my favorite pictures from Carlisle '04. Gordon polishing my car before the show. :)

OOPs! Well, I'm glad Al's registered and getting a head start.

Gordon,
You are correct,I was at Carlisle last year.I was the one with the 8.5"x14" pad of paper taking notes and making sketches.I was also sporting my Reyn Spooner "Air Cooled Aloha Shirt".I have lots of photos that I also took of alot of the cars and thier owners.I will be distributing them to the respective owners this year.Anyone that wants a copy,I would be more than happy to accomodate!Last year was a Hoot!This year promises to be even more enjoyable.My wife and I will be staying at the same hotel as the club.We will join everyone for Friday and saturday Dinner.As my Harley counterparts say,"Live to eat,Ride to eat".Looking forward to seeing everyone,and making new friendships.I already have a great friend in Al Merlin(Merklin the Magician)
Al

Al,
Oops,I did'nt intentionally spell your last name incorrectly.I just had to type real fast because I was afraid that this computer would take a crap again.

Jerome,I will bring a list of questions,and my creeper!

Hey Jerome, how did you get Gordon to do that? Whatever your technique is, lets document it in the knowledge section ;-)
John H

I think Gordon was still LOOPY from the night before and thought that this was his car.....

Actually, that's John's picture of my 1946 Ford Business Coupe BEFORE the restoration (and painting it early on my wedding day - but that's another story).

Jerome: I kinda like that picture of you and Kevin sitting at the light with my car in your door's reflection. Just before Carey Hines and us smoked ya! Guess I'll have to bring Chris back again this year, as his faithful Eclipse finally detonated after 106,000 miles and LOTS of quarter miles in the elevens at the drags. You can read all the gruesome details and see the pictures at:

Hope to see Y'All at Carlisle once again!!!!!!

Hey Jerome! come to think of it, I have a stock 1969 VW engine, more or less complete, which I could bring to Carlisle to donate to your "I wanna build an engine" project. Do you want it?

Geez.......

looks like I've started a "Movement"

Next, we'll be doing a movie about "Speedster Life"..............Maybe something like "the Mighty Wind"

Thanks, Cowboy John - Life is good in "Gullah Country"

Bruce, Alan, and John:

Mary and I were just talking yesterday about going to Carlisle, even without a speedster, so you can probably expect us to be there.

I'll have to go ahead and register asap, I guess.

How can I resist another egg sandwich, eh, Alan? And I have to see the Hoss hat in person.

Bob
>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

An ode to Gordon, with apologies to "Sloopy"

Loopy wrenches in a good part of town
And all the jarheads there try to shut our Loopy down
Loopy we don

Hey Bob! Come on down! The Hoss hat is on my packing list for both trips even if I have to pack items inside it to avoid wasted space. I have not taken Gordon's suggestion yet and installed a third brake light on it or side marker lights either. I haven't finished the design for the quick electrical disconnects; I don't want to get whiplash when making one of my infamous quick exits ;-)

Bob

This means we don't have to "egg you on " to make the trip :)

Glad you and Mary will be there !
