Mid Winter Reliability Run 2004 - east coast style!

Ok east coasters its that time again.. Let's show those west coast boys we don't need no stinking warm weather.

The date is set for January 10, 2004 the destination is POSIES Rods and Customs in Hummelstown, PA. Plan your route to arrive around 9am.

Here's the lowdown: for those who are new to the HAMB
Each year posies has an "open house" where they show off their latest projects.. Granted most of us aren't into all that billet street rod stuff but.. What else is there to do on a Saturday in January in Pennsylvania?

The plan: we all meet up at posies, hang out and check out their stuff,last year after posies tour, we headed to Terry's rod shop a few miles away (maybe we can do that again? TERRANCE??) At any rate, we'll end our Run with lunch at the Soda Jerk (a retro style diner, near
terrys).

I will meet up with anybody from the philly region who'd like to run together. (we got some great photos of cars running down the road together last year)

I will MOST LIKELY be bringing the 40 this year..(if I get a few details ironed out) So if anyone from philly wants a really long cold ride speak up!

SO WHO'S IN?

 

I'm planning on it. Pray for the "January thaw". It might make good roadster weather.

 

Kick Yankee Dave in the**** for me will ya?

 

I wish I had a hotrod!I guess I'll just walk.

 

I'm in!! I'll bring the ice cream
Clark

 

You guys are*****in nuts! Don't you know it's cold out there? You'll catch your death of pnewmonia!

 

Tommy,If I can figure out why my flathead keeps randomly dropping cyls(it's driving me crazy)But I gotta wait for a warmer day to work on the*****er,it's cooooold outside with NO Garage!

saw, how long of a drive is it from Central NJ?

 

how far is that from delaware...the rpu won't be ready,but maybe i can snag mom's 28

 

Right near Hershey. You do go to Hershey...right?

 

Here's a pic from last year. It was ten degrees out that day.
Clark

 

After these guys got ahold of the food at Terry's I doubt he'll do it again!!!!!

 

Whatever time we were to meet last year,I got there a little before.You guys were already leaving! I guess I have to get there early this time.I want to be in the picture with all of the important people.

 

Yeah, count me in too! I had a blast last year and have been looking forward to this again!

I'll leave work around 5am so I should get to Posie's at 9am. (At least I won't have to be at work Saturday night.)

Bruce Lancaster or long island vic... anybody need a ride?

41Sled- it's just a coupla hours from Jersey. Go to Mapquest.com and get milage and driving time. It should put you in the ballpark. I'll be rolling in from either I-80 or 440/287 depending on possible passengers. Think about it and let me know if you want to follow.

Clark- if you have an extra ice cream, just keep it inside your jacket for me... so it won't melt !

Any other destinations on the agenda?
Bil

 

I might be able to go this year if you guy's don't mind a late model tagging along.

Lulabelle, if your goin can I follow ya down? later plmczy

 

Yeah plm,no problem!

 

.........it was cool........

 

Last year the C-Dan never got above 120 degrees. I had no heater or radio but it was still a fun trip. It was only 10 degrees in the morning..these guys exagerate, It got up to a blistering 34 by the time we left for home again!

The very best part of the day was watching Clark pull up in the RPU eating an ice cream cone. Everyone was talking about it all day. Guess this year there will be a "For Sale" sign on the car.. ..

At any rate, I'm in. May have to bum a ride though. All the wiring is out of the Coupe and I'm too broke to fix it!

Spike

 

If its around Hershey its about a 3 hour drive... Atleast i have a coupe with windows! If it don't snow ill probably go.

steve-

I'm in if I can keep the truck running. Hey Clark, can you post another picture of your truck.

 

i am in...if i can catch a ride with you sawzall that would be great...otherwise i will tag along with a late model....acchhheebbaaa...

 

May I?

Bah, too early for me. I'd love to come out next year - I've got nothing road ready, all my cars are tore apart.

 

If it isn't snowing, I'm in.

 

I.m going , I,m only about 30 miles from posies, my modified won,t be finished so I,ll be in my girlfrends outback, but I,ll be there. later horty

 

I'm in. Will have a car load in the late model. Meet ya at Posies. Terry putting out the red carpet also? He is doing a car for a buddy of mine and I would like to see the progress. I'll have build pix of the 39 if anyone wants to see them. Look for 3 guys with dark blue Rodfather Custsoms jackets on. Thats my crew. See you there!!!
