April 4, 200718 yr Spring Carlisle is a good event and I'll be there to send the Maserati through the collector car auction (Friday at about 4:25 PM) and to hunt down some El Camino/Wagon parts. I will probably drop the car off on Thursday or maybe Wednesday, be there for the auction on Friday, and still be poking around on Saturday. Anyone else planning to hit this event?
April 5, 200718 yr Author It is the weekend of the 20th (Friday) but I think the gates actually open on Thursday (not sure). I'll drop the car early and try to do my parts search quickly so I can just enjoy the rest of the event and hopefully meet up with a few of you characters. :AH-HA_wink:
April 5, 200718 yr Hmm...plans are in the making to go visit my uncle in Harrisburg on that weekend. I'd love to go, it sounds like it'd be a fun time.
April 5, 200718 yr on a slightly relataed note, i found out im going to the carlisle meet on the weekend of june 22-24! me and my friends are going down with my friends chevelle... and damn it took alot of nagging my mom to let me go... i feel like a baby.... but it is the weekend of my birthday (june 23rd) so it will be a memorable bday [/Hijack]
April 5, 200718 yr hmm... $150? However I hope it sells Well! And why are so many things happening on 420 this year? where supposed to relax with the gonja plant on that day. Or celebrate Hitlers B-Day.
April 5, 200718 yr Author I don't give "hair" discounts. Thanks for the good wishes,Caprice. It would be nice not to lose too much on this car. My grandmother and Hitler shared a birthday (just remembered that). I certainly hope it's her that is with me when the car crosses the auction block and not him!
April 5, 200718 yr Although Italy and The Nazi Empire where allies for some part so there could be a connection?

April 6, 200718 yr Author I'm guessing that there won't be any other black Maserati Biturbos there, so I shouldn't be too hard to find. :AH-HA_wink: B&BL : I'm going to take it up on the trailer a day or so ahead of the auction, but you are welcome to ride along. The car will hit the auction block at 4:25 P.M. on Friday, so I'll be going back on Saturday.

April 7, 200718 yr I'll be in PA that weekend (confirmed it this evening), though not at Carlisle until Saturday (hopefully). Dad even threw around the idea of bringing the Jaguar to the show.
April 13, 200718 yr My dad gave the big "F-U" to our plans of visiting my aunt and uncle, and therefore, this year's Carlisle. "Your aunt and uncle aren't going anywhere, we can see them the next weekend..." Uh-huh.
April 14, 200718 yr I'll be there Saturday. Bought a 77 Cutlass this week on Ebay which I'm picking up on Thursday in Virginia and then driving it up to Carlisle on Friday. See my post and pics in the Oldsmobile section.
April 18, 200718 yr Author OK, here's my plan: I will drop the car off on Thursday, be back on Friday for the auction, parts shopping on Saturday. Lots of Miles for the Silverado this week!
April 18, 200718 yr Hmm... I'm not sure. I'd love to go, but as mentioned, I can't really trust my Millenia on long trips and I'd have cough up the change for a fill up or two (tank is 18 gallons) of premium. That could be expensive. If I do, I might have to resort to borrowing the Sunfire which doesn't seem very likely. Who knows.
April 18, 200718 yr The weather looks very promising for Saturday, so I plan on coming up. I will send you a PM, Camino.
April 18, 200718 yr Author The weather looks very promising for Saturday, so I plan on coming up. I will send you a PM, Camino. Cool!
April 18, 200718 yr Hmm... If Drew or anyone else west of me plans on going, it wouldn't be too much to stop in Brookville and pick little ol' me up, would it? Anyways, still searching for the possibility of coming. Whether it's with my Millenia, the Sunfire, with a friend, or with another C&Ger who can make a detour to Brookville. It's about time I meet some of you guys.
April 18, 200718 yr Camino... What days is it open? Just Friday and Saturday? Also, what time does it open and close?
April 18, 200718 yr Author Okay, $500 Final offer? Anyway good luck! Thanks man, who knows how it will turn out. The car is loaded on the trailer and tied down, and the trailer is hooked to the Silverado. I'll be leaving in the morning. Got some long days ahead.
April 18, 200718 yr I have been checkin the weather and right now the forecast is 63 and partly cloudy. Gonna be a good day. I'll be on the lookout for any of you, even though I have no idea what you look like, but I know what Camino's car looks like so I guess I'll look for that instead. Can't forget to charge the camera batteries
April 18, 200718 yr I might come up. I will be looking for Pontiac memorabilia. I might as well start early before GM shuts Pontiac down so I can get the real stuff, none of that poser stuff for me.
April 19, 200718 yr (pumping up the tires and spraying ether down the throat of the 1954 GMC schoolbus we converted to the "C&G Express" last year. looks like we're gonna have a busload!)
