Giving it some serious consideration, I can only do one "away" show this year. I usually go to GM Carlisle every year but this year Im giving the National some thought. I just wish it was a judged meet ... Id love to enter my 77 in either the 400 point judging or the driven judging. I hold no false hopes , but would just like a general idea of what it takes to make my car better. Also Ive done some very mild modifications to the car and I would love to see if the person judging could catch them. Everything is all GM and is all available for my car .... but some of it is not correct for a 77 car  . Well I still am giving it some thought , plus the better half hasnt made my decision for me yet ... so the jury is still out. She likes the Carlisle trip as some of the other members of our chapter also go, but Im going to try to talk them all into Flint too. Dan

Dandy Dave has signed up for the 2008 Pre War Division After Tour as well! (great to have you Dave!) I'm certain Dave's attendance will cause a Holiday Rush of registrations for the 2008 Meet in Flint as well as the PWD After Tour!
If you liked 2003, think of this as a victory lap!
I can just see Dave doing donuts in my front lawn with his '15 with the checkered flag in his teeth.

Well, I was thinking of taking that whole week off for vacation to visit the folks, but now I hear the folks are coming to my house that week, for Buick Camp, like in 2003.  Tents, campers, dog cages, Buicks in the yard every night, so I guess, I'll have to stay here, and welcome all the world's Buick folks to the Flint Cultural Center, and make sure they have lots of fun, kicking tires and doing what we do best, hanging out and talking Buick! See the preliminary schedule of activities on this post Here

Registration #71 if I remember correctly...got a room at the AmericInn...just need to book my flight, which I think will wait until after Christmas. Fly in Thursday, forum breakfast, register, Heritage Centre, then hang out...look at Buicks Saturday, eat, go home Sunday. No car for me.
Suzanne can't come because of our other holiday plans...out to visit her mother to celebrate her 65th, and the first weekend of August will be the McLaughlin-Buick Centennial in Oshawa. I hope to have the Wildcat there, especially since it is an Oshawa-built car.

Stevo and I had a two word breakfast exchange via e-mail. As I get in Thursday, I won't be registered for the meet until after breakfast though...sigh. Dave, I don't know if I'll be able to take your energy at that time of day, what with flying Thursday, then the first night in a strange bed. You don't need to register to just look at the cars. If you want to take part in any of the events / tours / etc. though, you will generally need to be registered.

Does one have to register to be a spectator? I don't want to show any of my cars, just look at the rest. I'll bring one of them though... Aaron, if you don't register, you can't bring your car on the show field, and you won't get a great goody bag with a commerative license plate and car badge, as well as access to the hospitality tent, etc. Just the rest of the story. You can come look for nothing though.

Thriller, you would probably be supprised to find that I am fairly quite until I find a plug to put in somewhere. (Just Ask JD about the upstate meetings that I have been to.) (What's the matter JD? Don't that Pen have spell check??? LOL) Of course around y'all, that may change!  Dave!

Dave? Quiet? That's like saying 10w 30 isn't slippery.
The thing is, one look at Dave's handiwork and you just don't know what to say to the master...
Still I am really looking forward to the breakfast. Does everyone make a name tag showing their forum handle like the infamous Mr. Earl? And Thriller, was it you who said you'd be sending along some items for discussion? What type of stuff are you sending?
Roberta, is anyone making a speech or anything? I think Stevo would be good at that! Right?

JD - last year, a few of us brought odds and ends as "door prizes", we put our names down and drew from a hat...first one there drawn got to choose from the pile of loot. I don't remember everything, but I got the Buick Bad Guy mug  and I think Centurion got an early '50s brochure. Wildcat62 was gracious enough to let me use her address for an eBay buy that would ship to US addresses only...the item was 3 brochures - one is for '41 that I will keep...the other two are for years that I don't own. My plan is to be able to read at least one of them and then offer it up.

I'll find some more goodies, too. I hope to have our DF names on our official badges for the meet, that will also include the schedule of events like in Seattle, on the back and these may be long and skinny so you don't have to take the schedule out of the pocket to look at!

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
