Re: Power Tour 07

Thanks for the shots, great shot of Charley. Lots of California black plate cars in the group. I like the blue Ponitac wagon, what a ride.

Re: Power Tour 07

I agree...thanks for all of the great shots. Looks like you are all having a blast. We made it to my dad's...so we're about 10 minutes from Lake Tahoe. We'll try and get up there today...maybe.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Re: Power Tour 07

My only complaint is that THERE AREN'T ENOUGH PHOTOS! Bruce, get out there with your camera and fix this problem.

Re: Power Tour 07

-------Great minds think alike, Tim. The fella that owns that Poncho wagon needs to get the AC back on there and then he has close to the perfect ride for me. Looks like everyone is having too damn much fun. Charlie looks just about ready to cash in his chips there at the dinner table. Easy to understand as these days are long ones no matter how much fun they are.......Bill S

Re: Power Tour 07

Bill, I didn't even notice the missing compressor on the wagon..........

Re: Power Tour 07

Had a little of everything today.....Sunshine, Rain, Wind, and "Heat and Humidity".......The Drive to Little Rock was pretty Scenic...Getting into the Park was a "Little" unorganized but It's Power Tour and everything works out........It's all over, met a lot of Neat people, seen a lot of Neat cars, ate at a lot of Neat places and it's been a Neat Experience "Again".......Here's some more Pic's

Here's a Picture of Scott trying to figure out "Where the Hell is the fluid leaking from" as Charley is laughing his A$$ off in the background

The look on this lady's face. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif I can just imagine what she's asking him. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif Is this car for real?

Great photos by the way. I've really enjoyed them. I'll have to make the trip myself one day.

Re: Power Tour 07

The yellow '55 didn't have any wipers, either. Must be fun to drive in the rain.

Re: Power Tour 07

good job Ken. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif looks like some nice real iron on the tour, the '65 with the hemi looked cool and some real nice '55's...wish I was tagging along. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Power Tour 07

Re: Power Tour 07

Also......One story (there were many)......Charley, Scott in Stielow's car (Camaro "X")......Me........and Mark Webster were cruz'in from Memphis to Little Rock.......Me and Mark got stuck at a Traffic Light......Charley and Scott were ahead out of Sight........Charley calls on the Cell Phone and tells me to watch out for the Highway Patrol car with Radar in the Median Strip........I look in my rear mirror and say to Charley......You mean the one that just turned on his Lights and was pulling out into traffic....LOL.....So he pulls behind Mark with his light's going and Mark pulls over......meanwhile Charley is still on the Phone laughing his A$$ off........I said, Well...he must want Mark....but as Mark pulls over the Cop comes after me.....Now Charley is really Laughing.......I pull over and Charley is still Laughing as he is a 1/2 mile down the road and wants a second by second report on what was going on ......and Still Laughing........When the Cop comes up to the car ......he said......."What's your Hurry Boy"...I blamed it on getting Stuck in the Red Witch Vortex (Sort'a like when a 747 takes off and smaller planes have to wait a while for the vortex's to clear).......and he let me go with a "Promise" on my part to never exceed the "Legal" posted limit again........it was easy as long as I stayed a mile or so behind "Vortex Boy".....LOL

Re: Power Tour 07

That is hilarious!

Thanks for posting all of the pics Ken! You are awesome https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Power Tour 07

Somehow it is always my fault. If you hadn't been speeding you wouldn't have been pulled over. You didn't see him pulling me over did you ? Two years ago it was Jody blaming me for his ticket. It never ends. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Seriously........The most Important things for Power Tour are a "Sense of Humor" and the "Best" Cooling System that money can buy..........Everything else falls into place.........

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif Hmmmmm........ I recall a short phone conversation that went something like this......

"Ken, this is Dennis. Where are you running?"

"We're South of Rockford nearing LaSalle/Peru."

"How are things going?"

"Good. We had some rain earlier but that's gone, we've got clear skies and running about 80 MPH now. Should be into Springfield around 1 o'clock."
