Hot Rod Barbeque, Year 5: Attention Minnesota and Surrounding States HAMBers!

Hot damn it's getting close, only 4 more days to go! Is there anyone planning on coming that hasn't piped in yet? How about a roll call?


Chris

 

Me!

 

Me, Katie, Liam (and possibly my brother Talin).

Count us and some little smokies in!

 

Hey Scoop, where you saying something earlier about having the truck ready? What kind of truck are ya bringing? Does this mean the family won't be joining you?

Good to hear Liam's health is up to it Cafe.

Alright, who else are we missing? Paso John, Titus, Joeycarpunk, 3034, 63cadguy, natas, four-thirteen...

 

I'm there

 

I am busting major ass on the wagon to get it there. I still don't know for sure if it'll make it, but it'll be damn close either way.

It still needs a front windshield, exhaust system, front end alignment, side quarter glass installed, bumpers, lights, and trim, once the paint is finally all buffed out.

(Damn...that's a lot of stuff.)

We'll still show up with chili even if the wagon isn't ready, though. I'll do my very best to get it there.

We're bringing a couple friends, too.

~Scotch~ (and Kelly, and Melody)

 

Hey Scotch, don't kill yourself trying to get the wagon ready. I DO appreciate all your efforts, though!


See you Saturday,

Chris

 

The plan was to have it on the road before the snow flies. All your BBQ did was light a fire under me to get it going a little sooner. It's all good. I've got plans to rip into the dash over the winter, so getting it back on the road will ensure everything I've done up to this point is solid.

I'm pretty stoked, actually...and I won't kill myself over it...but I'll give it a helluva shot.

See ya Saturday!

~Scotch~

PS - I busted natas' balls about coming over too. He might be there!

 

Everybody's coming,not enough room in the truck so the 50 will be there.I'll bring some pics of the truck to the party.

scoop

 

Thanks a ton on both accounts Scotch!

Cool bananas. See you and the fam in a couple days.


Chris

Just a couple hours away... well, maybe a few more than that but I just can't wait to get this thing started. The list of attendees is growing, we'll have to park in the neighbors yards too!

It starts in a little while oh go d where's the car and where's the dog.So the day of the BBQ oh yes.Jonny's gumbo + scotch's chili plus bonfire = priceless.We should be on time.Now i gotta figure out on how to give tiki a pompador.

 

That's too funny, Stevie.

I just wanted to say a huge THANKS to Chris (Koachwerks) for throwing this party. It was awesome; we all had a great time and are already talking about next year.

Thanks to everyone for making it cool, but especially to Chris and his great family for being such awesome hosts!

Muchos Gracias Amigo!!

~Scotch~ (and Kelly & Melody)

 

Ditto Scotch!I even went back to visit him in the morning(car trouble).Looking forward to next year.Chris your gonna need more beer next year or else I'll have to get there earlier.Scotch your chili is wreaking havoc on my bowels!!!

 

Hell yea that's the famous scotch chili.And Scotch brought the wagon that was kool that's the first time i heard it run.All i gotta say is damb.It was kool to see the Lucky Bastards showed up And The Traditional's too.We where talking last night at the bon fire and thinking there was close to 30 cars and about maybe 40-60 people.We just have to buy the house behind koachworeks place take down the fence and and who knows what to do with the house.Oh Yea thanks again to Chris and Thelma and family to letting us have fun before the summer is over

 

Chris & Thelma, lookin forward to the 6th annual. The 5th was awesome, got some good photos. Enjoyed all the cars! I liked the 49 Pontiac club coupe, reminded me of my 50 Olds a bit.

 

Hey guys, the thanks should all go to you! You're the ones that help make it all possible. Scotch worked until 3 that morning getting that sweet wagon of his road ready. A small glitch forced him to load it up on the trailer to get it to our house. Thanks a ton for all the effort you put into it to get it up here. And as usual your chili was killer!

Scoop, glad I could help you out Sunday morning. I would have felt pretty stupid if I didn't at least have those hose clamps to get you back on the road. As far as the beer goes there is still some left in the keg. The pork, on the other hand, we did run out of. Sorry to those who missed out on a good sandwich.

Stevie,
You, Sheri and Tiki are the coolest people. We really appreciate what you have done for us. Diego is looking forward to having you guys over again too. Oh and I think we had closer 130 people! To some that may not sound like a lot but 30 cars and 130 people is a lot to cram into my small suburbian back yard.

Glad you guys had a good time Rich. Too bad we didn't get the chance to chat more.

Thanks again to everyone. As word spreads this thing is going to keep getting better. See you all at HRBBQ,Y6, if not sooner!


Chris
