. July 2010 Seattle MCA Show, Northwest Get Together Part Two

Amy, I'll be there for the BBQ and Sun. I'll probably also do the Fri. run. I'm busy replacing the trans and pulling the engine to get the engine bay more presentable.

Rob

 

[68 special]

Like wise Rob, I think I'll fast for a day before. Can't believe it's only Feb. I've been looking forward to this since we started talking about it. I look forward meeting everyone and putting faces to names. Must go bust a knuckle or two on the car. You know you have a problem/obsession when you look forward to bleeding, cause you know it's gonna happen.

ROB, I'm coming up to the Seattle/Bellvue show w/ my friend Russ Stearns who one Saturday back in 1981, bought my 1st HCS for me. I saw a for sale ad in the AM paper that Sat and as I had to work, I called Russ to see if he'd come by the house and get the money ($800.00) and go look at it and buy it if it was RIGHT for me. I waited all day to hear from him and finally about 3:00 he came by the Safeway store I was at and said I owned it and it was at his house because it needed HIM (tuneup). He said I got a bonus 'cause it had a deluxe interior which is quite uncommon in HC Mustangs and was a 1 owner car. Marty Rupp in Nebraska has it now. He bought it out of Ernie Gonzales's collection this past year(I had sold it to Ernie years ago when I thought I needed a '78 SA Corvette). AND I'm going to work on my friend David I (di81977) of Boulder, Co. to take his HCS up to the Seattle/ Bellvue show with us, also. See you around, Bob Teets here.

I am very much looking forward to the Bellvue grand national. Getting to meet many of the GT-CS and HCS folk is the icing on the cake. Bob it wll be great to meet your freind Russ as he is another piece of the history of our car.

Tim you are a lucky guy to live so close to so many great automotive and aircraft events. I so wish I could see your event. Back when we had a plane I use to fly to the Oshkosh Wi., man that was a great time. Oh the smells and sounds of those old war birds. Marty

Hooray! My people are coming to the Northwest! Specials will take over Roundup once again!! I'm SO excited to meet you all!

 

[PonyGal]

Hey all,

Sorry I've been away from the site for so long, but I have had one hell of a case of the flu!! Got sick the day after St. Patrick's Day, and just got to feeling human again in the past day or so. Knocked me on my butt for sure!!!

I am definitely planning to make it up to Seattle in July, and I hope to drag Tim along with me!! We'll see...:wink:

 

[limelyt]

Can you smell it.....I think I can......it is getting closer......GT/CS and BRISKET....can't wait!!!!!!

:icon_ecstGary

 

[68 special]

I can smell Bremerton in Monroe!!

Don't rush it too much tho. I still need to get my eng. and trans back in the car, ARGH. Everytime I go into the garage, I see something else that needs cleaned up or painted. I need to put on a blindfold and just put it back in and drive her!!! I'm getting itchy throttle foot.


Bret

 

[robert campbell]

BRISKET ..... and....... BEER!!!!

 

[robert campbell]

Spent today getting the lawn at the Haven Lake Cabin ready. Lots of organic fertilizer, seed, and hand aerating!!! This lawn is like a well manicured fairway at Augusta in the summer!!!

We will sit, eat, drink, and be merry!!! Parking is clean, not dusty, but not on pavement! Long single wide driveway that may require jockeying for those people leaving early!!

I wonder if Steve “rvrtrash” is bringing any fish?

Rob

 

[rvrtrash]

My boys are the fishermen, not me. I'll see what I can talk them out of. I'm working on a plan that should make it possible to be there.
