old-tank Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Today I went to a local car show without a car for the first time in years. It was a treat to talk to others about their car instead of talking about mine for a change. Anyhow there were 3 Buicks: a spectacular (sorry Pete for borrowing your favorite adjective) all original low mileage 1951 Special Deluxe 4dr; a recently restored 1963 Skylark CVT; and a recently 'personalized' 1965 Gran Sport 4 speed with dual carbs. I had a long conversation about the Gran Sport and found that this car is driven and driven hard regularly (the rear tires are shredded and have a definite 'smoke stain' on the edges.All of the owners were receptive to joining the BCA and local Alamo Chapter so maybe I can get a ride in one or all of these nice cars.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
variablepitch Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 You know Willie, I've gotten to where I have BCA membership applications in my pickup. Once in a while I'll see an old Buick around and I'll slip an application under the windshield wiper. Hopefully it will work sometime.

Bill Stoneberg Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 What, no pictures ??? I am disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 No pictures?...I did have my newfangled phone that has a camera and video, but did not take any. That's because I'm too cheap to buy the software to get it from the phone to the computer and I am definitely too cheap to pay for sending over the phone network.

NTX5467 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Willie, if you're already paying for a rate plan to email pictures, you might as well use it . . . sparingly, so.Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from elsewhere, I'd say Winnipeggers are cheap. They try to sugar coat it with other ways of putting it, but that's my impression of reality.
