I wish I could, having family in Cleveland and all, but it's my birthday weekend and Judie promised me-er, uh, well lets say, something special.

Mike,

Just drove the car over to C&M for a roll bar and some other stuff.
I don't think it will be completed by the Autorama dates, but if you need help transporting the cars or babysitting at the show, give me a yell.

Chuck Rego, the owner of C&M Street Performance offered to let us display his killer Factory Five if we want it to fill out the group of cars. http://www.cmstreetperformance.com/4sale.cfm?content=3

Thanks Frank---

I'm sure what ever the surprise is --it will be wonderful--
Just think of us--

We should all get together and discuss the objectives and the future of the club.--

Dan-- A "ROLL BAR" are you sure?

Your friend has a nice car, it could sure help make our presentation look professional---especially if Steve enters his--

I'm looking at maybe renting a truck and hauler---I'm going to see what the interest is--

Mike,

I have a friend that would love to help with the car hauling - just for the satisfaction of chit-chat around the water cooler. It would go something like this...
"Guess what I did this weekend.......?!?!?!"

As we get closer, I can confirm. There are plenty of alternates as well.

Truth be told, Dan was afraid to enter his "Mazatlan Tequila Sunrise Hangover Red" car with the potential of such a nice display of yellow cars.

I'm not even going to dignify Steve's comments with a reply... oops, I guess I just did - crap!

Sorry Mike,
I just have too much going on over the next few weeks to be able to make it.

Thanks Frank,
So far things look tough--I mean there doesn't seem to be a big interest in the Auto Rama--but we still have some time---

Which car are you going to show?? Are you showing your Superformance?

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas--

Mike

Mike:
Yep--'ol 725; 427 S/C; guardsmans blue, white stripes, 351W stroked out to 396/485hp, you know the rest! See ya thar! Have a joyous and peaceful holiday and remember our armed forces, serving in far off lands and protecting our liberties! AMEN

Mike,
I'd definitely be interested in the show but my concern is the darn weather... I don't have a way to ship the car in and I'm not interested in driving it to the location..
Let me know what assets you have available... Would love to support you guys..

Thanks Al,

Steve Boardman may have a guy who is willing to help transport--I've got the same problem you've got--
I may go ahead and rent something--
This could be a fun event---

Frank how many Cobra's are going to be there for Dynamic??

It will be the perfect time to share a brew--

Dan, I was over at C & M yesterday.....Chuck said they are using PVC pipe for your rollbar....cause you wanted something a little different.....Happy Holidays

d isham · #15 (**permalink**) 12-26-2002, 10:25 PM

Jack - LOL... that was funny. Dan PVC should look good.

Mike - I think I'm going to pass on the autorama. Thanks for the offer. Car is sleeping soo soundly in storage I really hate to wake her. Drove her hard this summer and I think she really needs to catch up on her rest. Wife, kid & I will certainly make a trip down there for some site seeing though. Hopefully we'll see you there.
