Sky, that sounds like it was quite an adventure. I know the area of the George Washington Bridge/Cross Bronx Expressway isn't exactly a great neighborhood. Used to pour castings for the Morgan Corporation and other straight bodied trucks. (Aluminum front top corner L & R half-moons.) I was informed that the wooden floors come from hardwood farms in Malaysia for practically every rental truck manufacturer as we know them in the States. At least the floors are definitely solid due to the abuse they are subjected to, however... Regards, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sky... That's pretty ingenious. Is that a rental truck? The only problem you may have is if the truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. U-Haul will send out a towtruck. Under their agreement, if the tow truck operator finds out a car is in it, they will make you unload the car, leave it on the side of the road, or, they will not tow the truck. I asked them a few years ago and that is what the clerk told me. How do you tie it down? as no rental trucks have "D rings". Regards, Peter J.

Hi, Mike... Had the same scenario. I was told by a friend that there was a picture of my TR-6 in the Oct. 2003 issue taken at the Concour d'Elegance of the Eastern U.S. Looked everywhere for a copy (Borders, Barnes & Noble, 2 local newspaper/book stores). In the end, I waited until November and ordered a copy via e-mail. production@carcollector.com Car Collector Magazine, LLC 5095 S.

We're in business, folks... Big THANK YOU TO MIKE JONES, Annual Meeting Chairman... ________________________________________________________________________________ Mike wrote: I have arranged a room for the Discussion Group members to meet for lunch at the Wyndham Franklin Plaza. You will be in Logan I on the Lobby Level (at the bottom of the escalator) at Noon on Friday, February 13th. Box lunches and beverages will be available for sale on the Ballroom Level. If you have any special menu needs you should let me know ahead of time so the hotel can be prepared. Please confirm that this is acceptable and that you will take advantage of this room for your group luncheon. Glad we were able to accommodate you with the untimely closing of St. George's! Best regards, ________________________________________________________________________________ We can gather about 11:45 - 12:00. MIKE REQUESTED THAT I CONFIRM THAT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE DF FOLKS, AND, I RESPONDED THAT IT IS WITH GRATITUDE.

hilgret...Welcome to the Forum... Windows, hood, trunk, (convertible top ?) up. (I used to leave the driver's side window down at a meet in hot weather with the passenger side up. The judges always asked me to roll up the driver's side to check its condition.) Ashtray, glove box closed (if a judge wants to see them, then open them up.) Floor mats in... Remember: The more you display for judging, then, the more items get judged. You do not have to hide anything, just show your car in a natural, here it is, judge it mode. Just my personal advise, make sure the the ashtray, glove box, etc., are clean and as delivered new from the factory in case you are asked to open them. The AACA Judges are very fair. Relax and enjoy the meet. Regards, Peter J.

Peter and others: I feel we should set it for 12:00. That would give us an obvious 45 minutes +/- to meet. Regards, Peter J. -

Folks, the Box Lunch concept is fine with me. For "new" people, Box Lunches are sold at the Mezzanine lobby just outside of all the seminar meeting rooms...you pay the attendants for whatever you purchased. The tally as of today, 1/31/04 is listed below. It is open ended, in that, anyone wishing to join us, please do... Thought the list below may assist you to identify/greet people. (I know what it is like walking into a room and not knowing who-is-who.) There will also be a "sign-in" book in the room, of which, may further help you. Entered our forum "handles" if it helps: --Rick Lay, Athens, TN (Rick Lay) --Jan , Vern, and, Scott Kamholtz, Wauwatosa, WI (Jan K.) --Peter J.

The scenario, of which, this thread paints is exactly the same as what I have been saying considering "odd-ball, one of a kind type castings". If you could find more car owners who share the same problem, get a quote from a reputable shop, enlist car owners (investors) who require the same, and, lower the "set-up, or, tooling costs". Regards and good luck, Peter J.

Wayne... Here are the suggestions, so far: 1. Elephant & Castle 2. TGI Friday's 3. Box Lunch in the quiet corner of the lobby. (We really have only about 50 minutes for lunch due to everyone going back for 1:00 Seminars, so, whatever you folks opt to do, it cannot be a 2 hour lunch) Regards, Peter J. -
Hybrid...glad the bags worked out OK. They are good, no doubt about it. I was wondering, too, about getting the parts in without tearing them. Again, glad that aspect worked out fine. Take care, Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Folks, I am going to incorporate the ideas of Fran Shore, Dave@Moon, and, Bruce Wheeler's into a "menu of choice", if you will, of their good ideas. Please give me a day or so to make some phone calls and I will get back... We could then take a vote on their suggestions as to a replacement for St. George's...

Hi, Sal... My favorite is the Sanson Street Oyster House (if you like really fresh seafood). I agree that the Original Bookbinders closing was a shock to the region. Peter J. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> -
