slngsht Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 My son will be graduating from George Mason with degrees in marketing and economics on Saturday........so I will be there on Friday and Sunday. Arya's brother is graduating the same day. I have left him a message to see if he can push it back to December
BobDrye Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Is it possible to be in 2 places at the same time?
KStier Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Its official...made a downpayment on the red Birkin at Texas Motor Works and should have the car here and hopefully legal by then...
slngsht Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 sweet... hope to see you there. praying there is no rain
gjslutz Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I just scheduled a new taller roof to be built for the Birkin today. That should let a little less rain in. Now if I just have it by Carlisle. Gary
Croc Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I will be attending Carlisle for the first time and just looked at the site map to register - it is huge! So dumb question moment - how will I find everyone? Is the club assigned an area to park cars and congregate? I really do want to meet you guys in person...honestly.....

Croc, please look at the pics in this thread: http://www.usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=2424&highlight=carlisle We were basically in front of the grand stand last year, and I believe we'll be around the same area again this year. you can see the stands in a few of the pics... it'll give you an idea when you get there. I will post a tent number when I get it. See you there! make sure you mention you are with USA7s when you pay. If we get 25 entries, they'll wave our tent fee.
slngsht Posted May 13, 2009 Author Posted May 13, 2009 weather.com says: Slight chance of a thunderstorm. Highs in the upper 70s and lows in the upper 50s. We can always cover the cars... as long as we get there and back dry. BTW, we are at IE100 and IE101
BobDrye Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Yes that would be much better than last year! Gary: Just take the conopy off your RV4 and you'll be fine.
slngsht Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 i have no roof I see that, and i'll raise you a "i have no windshield". I just plan on pulling over and covering up in rain... unless there is soaking rain right from the start. Then I'll take the vette.
RGTorque Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 i thinks ill take the ol wagon to the show seeing that the weather is iffy and the car is no where near done
Croc Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Why are you guys afraid of rain? Do these cars shrink when they get wet?
gjslutz Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Bob, my RV-4 is a VFR airplane and it looks like thunderstorms for the trip over. If I parked next to that turbo of yours with my light 7 it could get sucked in through your induction. Congratulations to all of you people who have children graduating this year. It was an emotional time for me, when ours did. Looking over our shoulder and seeing what we are leaving in our place is the true mark of who we are & what we did. Mine sure as H*** bailed me out!
slngsht Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 Why are you guys afraid of rain? Do these cars shrink when they get wet? it's a byproduct of driving an incomplete car on the road. no top, no doors, no windshield, no engine cover. It might actually shrink.
Croc Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 That description of your car makes me all the more interested in seeing it! Look forward to seeing you there
Al N. Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Gents (I don't think we have any women on this particular thread)- Back from a business trip in Vegas. I'm picking up a new USA7s banner today and will be there relatively bright and early tomorrow, rain or shine. Note that the Club is offering a publishers' edition copy of "Lotus Seven & Independents" by Dennis Ortenburger as a door prize — probably as a very inexpensive raffle. I'll also have club stickers. Looking forward to seeing old and new faces! -Al
slngsht Posted May 16, 2009 Author Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) That description of your car makes me all the more interested in seeing it! Look forward to seeing you there I will be leaving the car at home They have increased the chance of rain to 80% with possibility of large hail dammit! Edited May 16, 2009 by slngsht
