Event Coverage Looking for trailer parking at the LSRU

To each his own. You like A/C and a radio. I like cruising down the road in my Model A and open exhaust. But then, I also look forward to the trip to and from more than the show itself. I guess it depends on if you view these cars as static displays or a form of transportation.

We are happy to have him down! He's getting rode hard because he ain't driving his hot rod, not because he's from PA. And the Roundup gets people from around the world, so to them PA ain't far, neither.

 

Last Hoorah, one last comment. As long as your ride is OHV, you can drive the Seguin-Austin route with no trouble. Now I have to get ready for all the flack from the FLATMOTOR boys. They are a sensitive bunch. Oh, boy.

 

Please tell me I am hallucinating. My buddy is not a bullshitter. Hell, he hardly drinks at all because of driving his rotrods around Austin. So, you have not heard anything on this subject ? I still need to contact El Jefe since he will know about this if anyone does.

 

Oh, shit. Let the games begin !

 

Truth is without "trailer queens" there'd be a lot less cars on display and for most of the public attending, most could care less and don't know the difference. A car show of this caliber should include early sixties and older cars and trucks etc and how they arrived should be immaterial. Having said that, I drive my '29 everywhere but wouldn't consider driving it over a couple hundred miles if that. I don't how involved it is to get a spot in there but there is camper, trailer parking across the road from the show and more info will prolly show up on this message board or by contacting the organizers. Thanks for effort to get here and help keeping this the best(albeit) expensive car show from in a line between Minniapolis and Laredo. I don't have a problem with "gold chainers" unless they claim to have built their ride and didn't. See y'all at the roundup.

 

Show of hands ----- how many of you ragging on Last Hurrah have driven your rod 3200 miles to attend a show? Yeah, I thought so.

 

It isn't the 3200 miles, it is the 52 miles across town.

 

How can you claim to drive it everywhere but wouldn't drive over a couple of hundred miles? The longest trip I've done with mine was from home to Sacramento, then from Sacramento to Tampa in 3 days, from Tampa to home. that trip was 8,000 mi

 

This flatty could make it!! http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=162633 Pete

 

Well, good for you! Texas is big enough I don't hafta leave the state to see anything so that's everywhere to me. My '29 is perfectly capable of the trip but my 72 year old bones ain't no more.

 

uh oh Dave,I think you woke up the trailer Nazis.

 

I believe we can lay that rumor to rest............................. thanks, Ryan

 

I can understand some guys that have cars that are not comfortable or the have ailments that deter them from driving long distances..

For myself I don't own a trailer and prefer to drive to all the shows we attend.

My most recent trip was 2,251 miles last August. HRP

 

Way to go HRP, it ain't a car unless you drive it!

I put 7,000 miles on my avatar last summer and loved every minute.

 

If mine is on a trailer, it's either seriously broke or stolen.

 

I know Texas is big but there's more to see in the U.S. than just Texas. LOL Your only a year older than my 71

 

Moby, you make a good argument. For instance, we used 5 days to get from San Antonio to Huntington Beach in our roadster. We are just too freaking old to do it in 2 days. However, we made it, had a blast, and returned via 70 miles on OLD Rte. 66 out of Kingman, AZ. Besides, neither of us gives a shit what anyone thinks. We will do it again soon, and, again, we don't care what other people do.

I'll talk to him today and ask about his eye color. He really is not a jokester.

 

I saw it 30 years ago on a bare bones Harley Davidson, and Michigan sure as hell ain't one of them...again LOL

 

I agree if it was Detroit area you were in. You should see the west coast of Mi. unless you don't like trees.

Some of us Texans don't much care for leaving the Republic. Buncha Yankees out there!!

 

So do I

 

I drive to all the shows and cruises I go to. My car isn't a trailer queen! I actually just bought the trailer for this trip.
HRP said it all !

 

I put 8,000 on mine last summer including the 3500 round trip to LSRU last year...... and we are all driving it again from the east..... It is a tough trip and my body knows it.......But I still cant wait to go again.......

 

Well made it down 2 1/2 Days around 34 hrs. Hit rain one day, insert in top blew up, had to tape it down. Starter took a sh__ at the show. But all in all we had a great time, awesome show! Found trailer parking at the hotel, hooked up with my daughters from Seguin. couldn't be better! Sorry I didn't get to meet any of you guys on the hamb at the show. Our cars made it on the hamb post. Official LSRU 2015 picture thread. First two pictures, our A's at the Austin Speed shop. Thanks to all!
