Who all is planning on heading to Fleming's Pumpkin Run this Saturday. Barring any unforseen issues I'll be there in my truck, which hasn't left my driveway in two years. http://www.flemingshows.com/PUMPKINRUN.html I'll be there with most of the guys. I plan on shooting a shit ton of shots too so if you see a guy in a Deadbeaters jacket with a huge Nikon camera rig, say hi.
I'll be there! Looks like my buddy and I are bringing our bikes. If you see two morons freezing their balls off on vintage cafe bikes, that's us!
Bruce, you weren't even in the question. you're as much a regular at this show as the lawn mower tractor pull and the hit-n-miss engines. My worst case scenario is taking my Triumph if something comes up with the truck in the next couple days (fingers crossed)
Ha!!!!...Joe......it's easy when you just live around the corner!!! Closest show ever to me! Kudos to Harry Fleming! Be early......no reservations...... CB
I dunno if you saw my other thread but i finally took the truck out for a spin yesterday. I'm going to go over it again tonight and see that everything is in order. I'd actually be ok if it was pushed back until Sunday cause that would give me another day to fine tune.
will not be there this year .. first time not going in maybe 6 years? ha .. input bearing fixing time for the nova
Weather could be a bit *iffy* but I am optimistic......here's what Weather Underground predicts: Saturday Mostly cloudy. A chance of showers in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 60s. South winds 5 to 10 mph...becoming southwest in the afternoon. Chance of rain 50 percent. I'm there no matter what......I have a roof!.... CB
We plan to leave 3am from VA, we were going to take the 66 Chevy Wagon BUT it caught FIRE tonight, NOT GOOD, lots of damage, BUT we'll fix it. So instead we will come up in the 64 GTO. Cuzin Brucie look for me, the car is black - convertible - I will have Still Runnin Large post cards somewhere around the car for people to take and read and a press pass on so anyone who wants to say hi can find me maybe. LOL Lea
Leah....you are already on the road, I see...... Will look for your goat! Weather is damp, but not raining, per se........looks like a go for today.......50-50 shot for afternoon showers........but the Pumpkin run draws a hardy bunch! Pics later tonight or tomorrow.......cheers... Brucie
Lea........I looked for you several times......no could find...... Did you make it? Did you see my coupe? CB
we were there. it was an interesting day. my buddy's 53 ford ranchwagon gave up the starter at Wawa when we were getting gas so it had to be push started. no biggie. Then we are about 15 minutes away from Fleming's and my muffler fell off. I'm surprised it stayed on that long as it was just bailing wired on.(didn't have any clamps at 10pm last night) Then the rain comes, that's always fun when you don't have wipers. Hit Target on the way home to get some Rain-X for the windshield(it helped). Pulled over on the road to pickup the muffler that I lost on the way there. found it, only a little bruised (it's a Supertrapp so it's still worth something)Then my truck doesn't want to start, i think the Alt is bad, so some kind folks we met at the Run happened past and offered a jump. After that it was smooth sailing. Now that I know it can make it an hour down and back I've got a little list of things to tackle: muffler, alt/charging issue, wipers, brake lights.
i am really bummed out i missed this show,turned out to be a crappy day weather wise,i locked my self in the garage and worked on my truck
Bruce, I did not see you but I waw there dripping wet till the end ... LOL ... even had to have a Root Beer float despite the chill in the air. LOL The GTO had a little problem we had to get a axle bearing replaced before the trip home. Its been a bad car week ... the 58 Vette had a charging issue coming back from the Dream Cruise in Daytona, the 66 decided to catch fire and then an axle bearing in the GTO. Damn they all want attention this month. LOL Oh well we only have 1 more show I planned to cover in December in Maryland and then the winter fixes begin. What a GREAT SHOW !
Lea......check your regular e-mail........ I am so sorry that I could not find you.......maybe I got too late a start looking down the show area.......I was parked under the two big GULF signs up towards the '50's Diner.....I always try to locate there.......Gow Central! CB
