The time is upon us again! We're all trying to recover from the SXSW music fest this past weekend and we're a tied lot but man are the Kontinentals stoked to see all of ya for the roundup! The weather forcast is steller! low 80s all weekend. So here we go, ROLL CALL! who's rolling in? what are ya bringing? when are you hitting town?
And temperatures in the 60s at night, which makes for great bench racing weather outside the club. I'm bringing an ugly red oxide shoebox and my freshly completed (well about 95% done anyway) kustom Triumph. Can't wait...I've been useless at work today thinking about all the things I have to do before Friday morning.
I'll be there. Bringing nothing unfortunately. The car is a Day late and more than a couple bucks short.
Just wanted to let you Kontinentals know that 40StudeDude (ME!!!), his brother, Dan and a close friend Ron Brown will be pulling into Austin on Thursday from Denver, ColoRODo... We'll be bringing one 1954 Caddy Coop DeVille, one 1957 Ford Retractable and one way-radical chopped 1957 Bel Air hardtop. R-
I'm riding shot gun in Merc50's gold 32 Ford. That way I can get some good pictures of MarkX's "Shoebox Chevy" (that's for you Honest) making the maiden voyage...
The Burwells will be there with the Buick and the coupe... the minibike traveled to Austin last night in the back of my bro's pickup, so it's good-to-go. We're coming in Thursday night, so let me know what's up for Thurs night/Fri morning, if anything.
I'll be flying into DFW on Wednesday and riding down with the whole DFW caravan with OldCarPilot and his better half in their '57 Bel Air.
1 flat gold 50 chevy truck will be arriving with a big group from dfw on friday afternoon. bubbacabra
I will be rolling in the 55 poncho. Anyone arriving Thursday night? My buddy is getting into town Thrusday and Myself and hopefully Jasonic will be heading down the the CC then. Just an early meet and greet. Stubbs for diner, beer for fun. Lets say around 10:00?
Hey Kontinentals, I can't wait to get down to Austin. We will be leaving Wednesday after work and staying at the Clarion Inn. We hope to be getting into town around 3:00 pm Thursday. Well the nasty purple paint that I had on the 50 Merc last year is long gone. I was in a creative mood so I shot my Merc with some Hot Rod black primer. Ron Myers threw down some lines on the hood and trunk. A lady told me the other day she saw my Merc in the Auto Zone commercial. I argued with them for a while. I ended up saying that they were right. I told them it was in my contract not to tell people because it would void my royality agreement. They said they would not tell anybody. (HA,HA,HA,) See you guys this weekend!!! Happy Trails, Mick
I'll be there with pants on.............. No car...only seats for FatLucky. Should be there late Friday night.
I have always wanted to go, seeing the coverage of last years event in street rodder made it hurt even worse.I think I'm gonna move to san Antonio, then i can go.
Im driving my 32 and my father and his best bud are going to drive the merc down...I was gonna bring the 62 but my other buddy could not drive it down or go to the Round Up this year and it's sold out now anyhows. Besides, trying to keep two clean will be bad enuff
Hell yeah krupa, I can almost taste it! We're hitting town Thursday, staying at the Embassy Suites on Barton Springs. I'm bringing the usual: The Lovely Kim The Divine Miss Em Lil' Chesta free beer A $29/day Hertzrod See you scratchers on SoCo late Thursday nite...
My son and I with my two brothers, my sister and her husband and and few kids will be there Friday around noon. We will have the '37 Olds, '58 Belair, and a '53 Pontiac. Its goona be a great weekend!
I will be coming down on friday in my bucket. (59 el camino) Traveling with the caravan from DFW via Carl's Corner. Unfortuantly no fresh paint, repair panels, rust and rust holes just mechanically sound. Ran out of time especially working in New Jersey and flying home to Dallas on the weekends to work on the bucket. Work said might have to work the weekend, uh no you will be while I am in Austin. Do or Die
Big problems in the north. Tuck has tapped himself to that Dodge truck. He is dizzy from the blue lines and can't get out of Canada. The border police have him in chains...... Those*****ing Canadians are crazy. Things are a little messed up. We have a mad scramble to find another rig to tow the roadster and have enough room for me and Max, the girls, and Elvis's Corps. We will miss Tuck, but must move on. We must bring Elvis to Texas. We MUST. I sure hope we can make it.
I'll be flying in on Thurs. with Tikiranch and Monica. I haven't been to Texas in about 13 years and never in Austin. Looking forward to a great time.
Headin down in my out-of-place '64 Cutlass, but it'll get me there!! '27 T next year fo sho! Looks like I wont have my minibike since I didn't get it finished last night, brakes don't work (can be overlooked) but no throttle control, and I couldn't get the engine to run either (but of course, it did when I bought it...) I really need to add some more support to the backbone anyway. Oh (fucking) well!! Maybe I'll scoot back home Thursday night and mess with it some more.
Hey VooDoo man. Hung out with you a little bit at the VLV last year. No casino's in Austin though!! Look forward to seeing ya'll down in Austin!
Well as long as the 57 keeps going my wife, Deyomatic, and I will be heading down with THEM. Viva la 57!
I'm heading out after midnight Wednesday in my 46 Ford Coupe from North Alabama. It's my first trip to LA and Texas. I should be there by sundown. Staying at the Austin Hotel.You won't hear no sweet home alabama here. Mike
Hey bobbleed, you and Max have to visit the 200 pound Wisconsin cheese wheel at Central Market. By the way, I'm bringing along a digital movie camera and a computer - I'm gonna try to post some almost-live film for all you poor saps who aren't coming. Plus, the blackmail pics ought to pay for the whole trip!
