Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'd love to be there (especially the brewery tour), but I just couldn't manage two big trips this summer...sigh.I'm looking forward to hearing about it and seeing the photos though.

Guest Chucks70 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 With all the rain and flooding in Wisconsin and Illinois right now, you're gonna need a DUCK to get home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 We rode the original ducks on Tuesday when the sun came out for a few hours.Supposed to rain tomorrow - the cars are totally trashed from a week of driving in the rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Thriller Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 LOL...looks like it is going to continue for a bit...should have gone to the National instead - it was drier in Seattle So perhaps right now I'm not exactly wishing I was there, although I would have liked the brewery tour...he said taking another sip from his Gibson's Finest 12 year old...sigh.

Guest wildcat62 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 It was a nice show. 82 cars registered, two no-shows. About 50-60 people on the tours. Was on the SHORTEST brewery tour ever at Sprecher's. 10 minute tour followed by an hour of beer "testing" and sodas. Yummy cream soda! Regional meeting was well attended and lots of people came out to Brookfield despite enough rain to make the animals line up in twos.I know I saw at least two wildcats...skylarks...Had a good time. Thanks to those who came out and maybe we'll see you all down in Topeka next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wildcat62 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Derek, my joke is calling the 72 the red car. You've seen it before...just after the paint job. That's the only way to tell all those blue cars apart. Topeka looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. They are planning a day long BDE style tour and also touring a home that used to be a missile silo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkbuick75 Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Kris Change it back to its original maroon--- then you can tell it apart from the other 2 blue cars--- LOL!!!!!!There is a slight difference in the body styles of the other "blue" cars that is noticable--, especially the one that doesn't appear to have headlights. lol!!!BTW-- with your car living up to its name ("BOATtail")in Milwaukee, did you ever find source of water leak in trunk or was it just from the excessive drenching of WI rainwater?If it is any consolation-- mine was slightly damp also toward the rear by tail-lamps. It has never leaked before in 32 years of ownership. Sure surprised me to find that when I unloaded trunk at home that Sat night. However, we did have a pleasant 2 hr ride home back to the "Southside" with the top down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
