let me look at the calendar, do not know if Dee-Dee will make it and not sure if I have anyone on vacation or not.  I might go into the store friday, just got back from a 3 day conference, pretty burned out right now.  Do not know what type of time I am going to need to take off for Lacey's business this summer, should know soon. Thanks for the heads up.  John, sorry got me one of those smart phones now, and the reason they call it that is because it is smarter than me, some how I lost and just found your call from late May, I owe you man.

Thanks guys. Sorry to hear bout your motor Eric. Glad it sounds like you can make it.
Larry, did I say they will have DRAG RACES? That car of yours would burn up any track.
Will give both you a call this weekend.

I am hoping the other NW folks see this sees this, you out there????

Ok John, I am cleared to goClap.  Sounds like my new engine will be ready this coming weekend as well. Should be enough time to break in a bit and just take it easy going down:):) leaving may be another storySmile So what is your plan as I have to book rooms etc. One thought would be to meet around Pendleton about 7 hrs for me and 5/6 hrs for you I think, Wedensday night works for you I believe. Not sure what is there but maybe stay over night or near there and drive to Boise in the morning, please give me your thoughts. So how about Larry, Steve, Glen, Bob, Mark etc any of them interested in joining in plus others, would be a great drive.

Eric, Pendleton sounds great on Wed. The show and shine reg starts at 10 am Thursday so maybe a early day. So maybe meet ion Pendleton and drive to Baker city for the night? Hour and a half to Baker city and 2 hours to Pendleton Thursday morn??
Anything works for me.
Steve is having his gaskets replaced and is out. Bruce is out unless we can talk him into 2 shows in 2 weekends. l Havent heard from Larry or the anyone else. It is hot, I say HOT in Boise this time of year.
We are staying at the double tree in Boise off the Vettefest site.
Should be a great time!

Count me in for next year.  I remember reading about this last year and thinking, hmmm maybe, but then I was just doing front suspension.  Now I'm doing front suspension and engine -- I think I'm a few months out yet.  Sounds like fun.  Hope everyone has a safe and trouble free trip.

Hey John, Thanks,
Booked Thur, Fri and Sat at Double Tree, so will drive back from McCall to Boise with you. To bad about Steves car, hope to hear from Larry and maybe Glen yet and who knows maybe Bruce will need another weekend away:) at a car show. I see other C3s in the area so maybe some new drivers/wheels will join in to enjoy the drive with us. Looking forward to the drive and meeting up with you and Carol along the road. I have a couple weeks off so will leave early to enjoy the drive down and break in my new engine.
The Captain is packed:):):)
Cheers, Beer

Sorry, won't be able to make it. Lack both time and money. Daughter still in college which puts a dent in the fun account and will be on a family vacation mid August.

Thanks for the reply Glen, I understand, my youngest just graduated and my other son is going to UBC this fall and yes it cuts into the fun account. May give you a call on the way down to Boise, I think I have to drive by your place fairly close, if not talk to you another day.
Take care.
