well, the last week or so has been all about work (you know, that thing called a J O B that gets in the way of having fun!).
haven't done much tear-down in last 10 days but it is coming along...in the middle of degreasing.

Next year? that'd be pushing it, but I'll certainly give it the ole college try! My real hopes are for PIR-ABFM 2013.

Sorry I missed this year's pancake breakfast - always a good show, good chow and great friends!

ciao,

Lou is up to his elbows in GT teardown, I hear! At the rate he goes at it, he should have the GT done and be available to help next year though!

Bob, I enjoyed talking to your friend Guy again this year. We came across each other twice yesterday, and the second time I met his wife as well as a couple friends of theirs from the Bay area that they had run into up here.

That hand built car with the Buick straight eight has been to the show at least once before. It's got a lot of eccentric features, like totally manual wipers, the shifter and e-brake mounted to the outside of the vehicle, dual cosmetic gas tanks, straight exhaust (no muffler), straight axles on leaf springs front and rear, etc.]]> Rod H.

Ugly as sin, but cool!

You really wouldn't believe all the cars that crawl out of the woodwork at that show. Everything from a totally home made rat rod with a Buick straight eight, to a Ferrari.

Chevelles too numerous to count.]]> 29desoto MGB & GT Forum Sun, 22 Jul 2012 22:29:48 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126967#msg-2126967 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126967#msg-2126967 chris MGB & GT Forum Sun, 22 Jul 2012 20:31:44 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126931#msg-2126931 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126931#msg-2126931 DB Wood MGB & GT Forum Sun, 22 Jul 2012 19:54:06 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126919#msg-2126919 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126919#msg-2126919 OldBloke MGB & GT Forum Sun, 22 Jul 2012 19:31:23 -0500 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126916#msg-2126916 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?1,2120955,2126916#msg-2126916 In reply to # 2126898 by PaulP That 4th pic looks like "Ole Fat Dog's" car.

Yep, sure is! Ole Fat Dog came over to our place for lunch after the show, along with his driver of course!]]> Rod H.

The E-Type was following my wife and I in her Mazda last night. I don't know the owner, but he must be local and was perhaps doing a little shakedown run the evening before the show.

Before next year's show I want to talk to the organizers and find out if there's any way we can get the British cars grouped together. There was a group of about five (the ones I didn't get photos of) that ended up together, but about ten others were scattered.]]> Rod H.

Yes, the Citroen isn't an LBC, but I had just to include it anyway.]]> Rod H.

I can't believe you are going to start both cars and drive a block!

Just push them over!

See you there! Still got some of that spruce beer?
Hey, it's almost 10 blocks!

I lifted the keg a couple days ago, and it's tough to tell! There's still some in there, and it could be a half glass or it could be three or four. I've been saving it for Sunday, and it will get polished off then by you and whoever else wanders over after the show. Still have quite a bit of the pale ale too.

Something else. They are doing road work on 99W between Amity and McMinnville, and I got a nice coating of tar on the tires of my GT this morning. Would suggest to anyone coming from the north to take the Dayton/Amity Hwy (233) instead of 18 and 99W through McMinnville.]]> Rod H.

Oooo that sounds tempting. I had some spruce tipped beer the other night. Interesting. I have Sunday off - and new tires!
