Hello?  I'm waiting to viacariously live through all of you folks that could make it down there this weekend.  What's going on?  How was the plant tour?  Did any of you drive a car home from the factory?LOL
 
Are ya havin' fun?  I thought about you this morning when I saw storms closing in on BG on radar.
 
I'd ask if ya'll are behavin' yourselves, but then I looked at the attendee list - Micki, Butch, Tux, etc.  Heck, if ebo was there, the town would probably get burned down!!
 
Have fun and share the joy - let us know what's happnin'



I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

Well being the co-editor of SharkBytes does have it's perks????

SRJ just called and gave me a BG update.

All had a great time on the tours yesterday, weather has been good just a bit of rain. Last night a group of 25 went out to dinner. If you have never drove in a large group of corvettes especially C3's and watched heads turn it's a way cool feeling. So I'm sure when the resturant lot was full of C3's it was neat.

They also went to the "Jamhouse" I'm happy bout thatTongue yum yum.
They were at breakfast when they called, I talked to Dave Wright and he is having car problems, may be fuel so they are going to install a fuel pump today (Adam must have rubbed up against him)
Redwing Brian chatted for a bit and told me our beloved Queen was checking on how the AC is spose to work in a C3 Brian had her get in his RED C3 and turn the blower on high then he took her for a little spin......well the spin turned into a real Hot Spin as Brian did a few doughnuts in the parking lot. Well this time instead of her pooch haveing the squirts from Tux's taterfries........Micki did........
Brian said he felt bad for Adam and stayed back in the booth with him most of the day, actually we asked Brian to keep a tight leash on himLOL we do not need a repeat of him laying out on someones hood again. (he's a 2 beer dateRolling On The Floor Laughing)
Guess I'll keep ya all posted.................
Everyone enjoy this Holiday! and be safe!

OK the crew just called in there are about 40 people sittin in the hotel parking lot having a cook out, and Terr, Marshal they lied there are still ribs on the bar be.

I talked to Bob Hamilton for a bit and he said to tell everyone that the food is great and there's a bunch of vettes.

I also got to talk to the Queen, Micki called her husban and said she wants the new Grand Sport she seen being built. "Honey I'm Home and I brought back somethin nice"
Oh baby!
She had brought a remote control fart cushion with her and was about to plant it under some one. Yep she's a keeper!
 
Bob and I decided that Adam has to put together some kind of cruise that we can all get together at......Like a Cruise to Virgin Islands (yeah on a boat) in the winter timeThumbs Up
 
What do you think.....Evil Smileebo

Ok last update for the night.
Adam did not have to go for a ride in the meat wagon yet tonight. He ate at SRJ's BBQ trailer.
The group is now at the Go cart track and Spielman is about to lap the field. He was heard screaming  "my finger is stuck on the governor get out of the waaayyyyyy!!!!!"
Dave Wright is still having car troubles even after changing out the fuel pump. I know he has a crossfire if anyone has any sugestions??
I'd hate to see him drive home on the go cart he's doin burns on right now.
 
I'm sure I'll have more updates tomorrow............Evil Smileebo

OK Sting Ray Jim checked in at breakfast. Another beautiful day. Some of the group was going to Nashville today.

Last night's cookout was a blast. Jim said at least 4 new members were there........lets hope they wer'nt scared offShocked

I talked to Mike (great Pumpkin, I love that car) Micki's fart cushion was so loud some people who did not know thought it was a "Jake Brake" from the highway.

Vette(s): 1982 2-tone blue,383 NO crossfire 1987 black (work in-progress)
Another wonderful time...sure good to see everyone again, and meet some new folks and faces as well.  Sorry I had to leave so early, but porch-sitting and catching up with relatives in Central City kinda had to happen, you know??  Sure turned a few heads on the back roads of Kentucky...it's kinda fun waving to folks you don't even know...it's a way of life in these parts...gotta love it!!  Tops off all weekend...time to scrape the bugs off and get ready for Funfest!!
 
I hope Dave's crossfire woes get straightened out...."engine management" was a whole different ballgame in '82 compared to what it is today...hopefully Dave and Gordon Killebrew can get things worked out...I think he was going to talk with him either yesterday or today..

Vette(s): 1973 Red coupe

    I got home about 2am this morning. Boy did I have a great time with the gang. I hit one rain storm just as I left about 40 miles north of the museum that had cars and trucks in ditches and slowed the rest of us down to 25mph for about 3 miles but after that it was clear sailing. I sure wish I could have stayed another day but things to do at home and it sure is nice sleeping in my own bed. The museum sure has changed with the new addition and it was great seeing all the folks that did make it in.

   Marion and I were working the booth and a fellow from the Neitherlands stopped by. He was working as a volunteer for the weekend. He showed us some pics of his collection of 150 Corvettes that He owns. That’s right, 150. Not toys, the real thing. He told me he got hooked on Vettes when he was 11 years old and he saw a Mako Shark. That’s all it took.

Great stories always come out when you talk about Vettes.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
