Interesting Car Show 01/14
 

Peter Volny, organizer of the Concours in the Hills, passed this along to me. It sounds like it will be an out of the ordinary car show and I'll be going to take a look. Come on out for a nice way to spend some Saturday time.

Looks interesting. Should/can we bring the cobras and will there be a place for us to park them, or are the cars to be shown from the museum etc?

Mike, by all means, bring your Cobra. We can try to add a little class to place. ha Pretty sure the Ferrari Club is involved so we should show the kids what can be much more realistic and driveable, rather than just trailer queens.

Should we neet someplace before hand and arrive as a group?

Sounds good - esp if there are a bunch of Ferraris there - we need some Cobras there to give the kids hope.

NYFAIM right?

That's all you need a bunch of kids wanting to touch your car.

65, "That's all you need a bunch of kids wanting to touch your car."

I prefer to drive my car so lots of bugs and gravel "touch" my car so I'll not get too obsessive if someone is actually audacious enough lay a finger on my car. Now, some bubble-bellied, huge belt-buckled cow-poke, leaning over my fender, would be a different matter.

I don't mind the kids touching it - I have lots of windex and it's just metal.

Here's more about the Hagerty Driving Experience going on at this event:

Dang! I'm too old to sign up. Robert, you're younger, maybe you could....

Ok. Who's next. This should be fun to watch. A bunch of kids learning how to drive stick shift in a 600hp cobra. Please video tape it and post. Lol.

I will go without any reservation. We can meet at my house and go as a group if you want. It will take all of 2 minutes to get there from my house. As you recall Karl, close to Defalco's.

Greg, sounds like a plan. Wanna PM me your address?

65, I might be stark bonkers enough to not spaz out if someone actually touchs my car, but I'll not be letting someone I don't know and trust drive my car. Maybe someone has a Yugo, Maverick, Pinto or Rambler the kids could learn how to drive a stick shift.

I had photos taken of my car with a model. They asked me if she could touch the car. I told her yes, but only thing to touch my car is "skin".

Lee, I take back all of the bad things Karl said about you.

I will be there for his one. Karl do we need to register or just show up?

Sorry I am going miss the Harley Davidson get together and road trip on Sunday. Heading out of town this weekend.

Karl speaks...and I thought he was that strong silent type. Ha ha.

Lee

Px Mike. No need to register in advance.

Lee, I am very surprised you talk like that!%/
The only thing I can think of is, that your wife was not at the photo shoot and that you password-protected this Club Cobra account so she can't read what you post here.:eek:
