Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Been working with Al to put something together for this year's Fall Vettefest. Al would like to do a "Supercar Showcase" with emphasis on vintage race cars. Dates are November 4,5,6 2005 and held at McCormack Place in Chicago. General entry forms have been mailed or are available on their website http://www.midamericapromotions.com/CVF%20main.htm When sending it in, just note you want to be in the "Supercar Showcase".

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Update on Vettefest. The showcase is for <font color="red"> ALL</font> supercars, with an effort to get several vintage race cars there.

Any car that is part of the showcase will receive free entry and passes, and possibly easy in and out.

Signed up so far.

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

I heard Barnhart's car is apart being repaired after the mis-hap at SCR8.

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Franny Roberts will be part of the dispaly with his Silver COPO Camaro...BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

If I recall correctly, when I talked to Barnhart about 2 weeks ago. He told me he would have the repairs made and be at the show.

Is anyone planning on attending with a non-Supercar? I was planning on bringing my car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

I believe that I am going to be there with my 69Z, I just have to finalize some details on putting the stock exhaust on the car before then.

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Still count me in Tom. I should know in a week or two if I will be done in time.

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Thank you Tom!

Bruce, most often, I drive the truck/trailer myself. Besides, I have my doubts as to Cumby's ability to even find Arizona. And NO...sorry Dear, I love you but I love the car just a bit more. However, you are welcome to make a pass with her at scr9. I am sure she would enjoy a trip with someone who knows what they are doing vs the trips I took her on!

Frankie, The offer has been made to the Old Goat to ride to VF with me. And I think Mr Nelson offered to share a room with him. I still await an answer and any influence you can sway in his direction would be greatly appreciated. I know he does have a bit of a conflict as he and Vickie have to be back in Chicago a few weeks after VF so there may be schedule issues. However, any chance you get....PRESSURE HIM!

I doubt the old fart could make 2 whole trips from Rudehouse...takes a lot out of him...he's just cheap.

FYI:
World Of Wheels is the new owner Chicago Chevy Vette-Fest.

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Was at Morris Carshow/Swapmeet today.
Confirmed by Joe.S/Rodney B./Gary E.

I'll tell ya what,I have never seen so many cars for sale there before.
All the sellers acting like the sky is falling.
A few sold before the ink was dry on the "For Sale" signs.
Was a good Day. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

what did ya buy????

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Yea Mr70, what did ya buy? Time to step up and tell the rest of us what you have been collecting for all of these years. You are always so eager to offer info and to judge any particular car and you are always willing to assist......but we never hear about your cars....what gives? When will you allow us to be privy to your collection? I know figure it must be extensive as you have been a collector for many years. Sorry to be pushy just anxious to see what you have ben hiding/saving/keeping safe.......

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Cars?...Only room for one car in my life right now,unless DC wants to sell. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif
My "was a good day" reference was more about the weather and people.
As for parts,I bought nothing to write home about,just some Delco ignition parts and a few 1970 options.
Although difficult to transport,I did have some of my Dealer items on display at SCR8 &amp; VFest last November too.

Well! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif If I did come up for the second trip, (via AMTRAK)I thought I might hit you up for a car to cruise around town in; (kinda partial to Black Chevelles ya know. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif ) But with a hospitable attitude like that..........................

I guess I'll find alternative transportation! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif


Hey Bruce; since I 'Don't get no respect' from anyone else on this board, JUST MAYBE I WILL tag along with Annie. You know; to help LOAD THE CAR!!!!https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif What's your best offer on a certain Grecian Nova?.........Not that it matters; it's all profit to me!..........Just be advised the deal includes a dually and a trailer....and most likely a very angry little Witch still stuck in the Nova. When she drives it in the trailer, we'll just slam the ramp shut and lock it up. You get the whole shootin' match for one lump sum! If things work just right, I might even throw in a "Belair"!
Arizona is right next to New Mexico and I've been there numerous times. I think I can find ya! (What's your home address?) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif Let's talk!

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Hmmm...Interesting offer. I don't think Annie would be too happy, though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

She might get mad, too! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Both of you are welcome at my house anytime...If you're going as far as New Mexico...you've got to take the extra drive and come to some of the cruises out this way.

I'll PM you my address and we'll talk numbers, my man! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I'm just kidding, Annie! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Always an open door here as well but I dont think Annie would like to visit since I know she would just stay at the Mac Nut factory waiting for fresh Chocolet Mac Nuts to come down the line sill dripping wet after being dipped in the stuff&gt; https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Seriously Jeff, Our Mr. Murphy made quite a hit at SCR8 with two of my favorite ladies. Swiss Chocolate is hard to compete with. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif Vicki just finished hers last week and asked me if there was anything else I could do for Jeff............................ so SHE could get some more chocolate! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Re: Fall Vettefest 2005
 

Jeff, would you please send me the addy for that factory???? Sure, I was born at the nut house but they didn't have any chocolate. The special treats you brought are fanstastic. Between your lovely gifts and the Swiss chocolate Mr Murphy gave me, I figure I am set for almost a year.

Yes, I said a year.... I actually sat down, counted the pieces in each box and have figured out how many pieces I may have each week in order to make the goodies last till I see you both again next year. (that was a hint) Hey, I didn't say I was an addict, I said I am a SERIOUS addict. And for the record, I love you Vickie but you are on your own, you know as well as I do that friendship blows when chocolate is involved.

PS.......many, many thanks to both Jeff C and Jeff M for the very warm and sincere gifts. Vickie and I both very much appreciated your kindness.
