I signed up for the boardwalk parade&the poker run.I was going to do Saturday's night dinner,but my son an daughter are going to be with me and the wife.The only way I could get them a ticket to the dinner was to register them for the show.I think that is kinda dumb,so I'm not doing the dinner's.

Maybe we can all meet for breakfast on Sunday!

We are planning a trip up, but will probably take the C-6. Gas is killing us with the '73...

Considering selling the C3... wife will be unemployed Sat. (same day daughter gets married) Her job was suppose to last until Oct 2012 "Obama's Change" didn't work for us. Luckily I got a part time job after retirement.
 Also have a '53 Jag I am trying to restore and that will have to halt.. Anyway we will be up there sometime...We are about 3 Hr away... I can give you my cell and maybe we can get together with you all sometime.
 It's a pretty busy time there if the weather is right... Will you be in the parking lot at the inlet?

Ray

That's the plan...I'm doing the boardwalk drive.

Ray, we'll all be at the inlet but not right away as we all are doing the poker run first! But we all have to be at the inlet by 1PM to line up for the Boardwalk cruise. They might not let you on the parking lot if you're not registered but you can park in the area. You should try to catch the Boardwalk cruise, it's really impressive! Sorry to hear of your situation. Hope it all works out. We are all closer to the same situation then we realize. May GOD bless.

Well now it looks like we will not be there at all ... electrical gremlins in the '73 and a girl decided that we needed to go thru the red-light in the '07. We just got it in April, has 8,000 miles on it...
 We stopped for the turn light at  a shopping center and she plowed into us... fortunately  there wasn't anyone in front so damage is to the rear... that was enough... she was in an Expedition.. knocked out the whole lower panel where back-up lights are, bent exhaust down to the ground,  Doesn't look real bad but that  whole back panel will need to be replaced. Has a couple large breaks in it now. At least no-one was hurt, except for being a little sore.. never saw her coming and being in a turn lane she wasn't  going that fast. she had the most damage. I think my tail pipe may have gone thru her radiator.. she had to be towed. I bent the exhaust back up.. picked up my license plate and went home "pi@#!ed" off. Life is good I guess... we could drive it.... now for the insurance/repairs. She has insurance. Luckily we were in the '07... the '73 would have taken that pretty bad i believe... thanks to modern technology..
 Probably the worse part was, my wife would not get out to look.. and on the way home.. she finally calmed down, realized we were "lucky" turned to me and told me "I'm taking your license to drive my '07". . "Life" is good with us...

Man, Ray, talk about a run of bad luck! Glad you guys were OK! Maybe now you've got all this bad stuff in the rear veiw and things will be on the upswing! We'll miss you guys but we'll catch you at one of the later shows. Hopefully one of us will get some good pictures to post. Best wishes and you guys will be in our prayers. At least the accident was her fault!
