Rosemarie and I plan to be there with our motor home. Supporting 2 groups: here and the Meyers Manx crew. We bought a Meyers Tow'd online from Reno at Christmas, damned truck caught fire east of Chicago, toasted ours and 4 other vehicles. Lucky for us the truck had insurance, and Meyers still had the molds, so a new body is now in our shop. We're not so lucky with other bits: trans has holes melted through, motor is seized, melted in places, so both need replacing. So much for buying something turnkey! Just what I needed...ANOTHER project!

Good thought Mike.... But if I block the track at pit-in, set the lawn chairs out under the awning with the brews on the picnic table and shrimp on the Barbi there will soon be a huge jam....

Whatcha think Shane..... My Topkick motor home might not set fast time but if I get it parked just "right" (as in across the track) nobody could get around us!

Hey Shane, what gives? The link to your build gallery doesn't show any post apocalypse pics! Holding out on us??? It's too late for embarrassment.... time to fess up! Oops, wrong thread. Can some knowledgeable type move this please?

Perhaps the best North American success story that fits this thread would be Factory Five, although they too seem to be in trouble with some states trying to register non replica models.

They may ballast you, make you drag the remains of Shane's Storker behind you. Isn't the Mallock a bit more aerodynamic than our bricks?

Shane: Maybe you should keep your feet firmly planted for the foreseeable future.... Mother Nature is not in your corner at the moment. If you figure out what you did to deserve such a shunning please let the rest of us know so we can avoid such transgressions!

I'm safe, he's not likely to survive our -20 f temps of this morning. I knew there must be a good reason to live here!

Gee Shane, can't tell if it's the threats or the freezing temps making me shiver. I'll have to make sure Rosemarie snuggles close for the next few nights... Such hardship!

Quit yer whining.... You're alive aren't ya? You can thank Robin and nurse Hilda for that, that and Croc and I keeping your spirits up!

Hang on Croc.... Are talking about his Storker or nurse Hilda biting his ass?

I'm in your corner Shane, just trying to look after your best interests before Robin decides you and your hobby are more trouble than you're worth! Besides...would you trust that beast again after the way it bit you in the ass???

Croc Did you and I both miss Robin's ad to give away Shane's beast? From what I heard it reads: Free to anyone in need of a lobotomy. Has caused enough trouble in our home, time to move it on to the 1st caller. Ask for Robin, Shane does not get a vote of this family decision. Needs small repairs before it can resume it's widow maker role.

I guess any of those would be a better investment than ANOTHER ex-wife?

Croc Maybe we should pass the hat, take up a collection to power his gurney? Of course, 1st it would need a cage!

Ya hear that whine Shane.... Some guys can rationalize anything. But if we pulled any little thing we.would be vilified for life, stoned at the pillory! I tell ya Shane, life just ain't fair....

I'm snickering here Shane... I find it humorous that the 2 least likely to be looking for another car seem to be the 1st to complain when Dundee is slow with his sales post on Saturday. Thanks Croc!

Thanks Warren! Been busy dealing with out of town company so had not gotten to Skip's question.

You don't have to go that far Skip. The farthest east Canadian province, Newfoundland and Labrador, is 30 minutes off Atlantic time.

Has all this risk management talk scared off Dundee? Say it ain't so Croc.... Or can I read your weekly listings while watching the F1 race in a few hours?

Tom Does your bed rise higher than shown? If it lifts the height of the opening then you can effectively double the length of the ramp, cut the approach angle dramatically. Fabricate extention ramps the height off the ramp door, hinge them from the top to flip out when the ramp is down. A pair of jack stands to hold the ramp door up and you're in business. Not many of that style toy hauler are long enough for a Seven....lucky you!

Hurry up Croc, the patient is losing his patience!

Ah....so the shake in the driver came AFTER he realized he no longer had any semblance of control? Don't ya just hate it when you realize you're just along for the ride? Might as well sit back and relax, cross your arms and wait...no brakes, no steering, what's left to do???

Shane: Are you sure the shake wasn't in the driver???

I'm sure you will but I would specifically request you keep us all advised of your route. You would likely get some company or at least keen visitors!
