Pete Phillips Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 A chance to get away from snow? Don't be so sure! Here's my '62 Special parts car after a visit from Old Man Winter in north Texas last night! Actually, Barney is right--San Antonio is 400 miles south of here.Pete PhillipsSherman, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Pete,Not quite as imperssive as Norb's Park Avenue as we can still see the ground but not too shabby for North Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Would you believe another snow storm today..6-8 inches this time. The '62 Special is more covered up than before. I'm ready for some south Texas weather. This north Texas stuff is for the birds.Pete PhillipsSherman, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Pete, that is not at all what I would expect from the Lone Star State. Do you think it may have something to do with the primary Tuesday night?Sunny 40 degrees here today. Perfect for another cruise in the Electra, or as grandson calls it "lectra" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Actually, it started as "rain", kind of a drizzle, then sleet, then rain, then sleet, then some snow, more sleet, more snow (big flakes), which finally ended for us (west of Fort Worth) about 3:30pm this afternoon. Slushy roads, mainly, as temps were still above freezing. Where Pete is got MUCH more than we did! We only had about 2.5" accumulations. Quite unusual for March in N TX!Enjoy!NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Down south in Texas all we got was rain and about 40 degrees outside. It is supposed to be 70 - 75 next week again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxBuicks Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We got 6 inches in Denton, 30 miles north of Dallas. This rarely happens, but makes for some beautiful pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Picture perfect for the Northerners to attend a BCA Board of Directors meeting in TX, almost as good a the BCA BOD meeting in Nashville last year, makes them feel at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 RoyEnough of the snow pics...no snow in San Antonio area. Good WEATHER forecast for next weekend.If time permits were might get to smoke the tires on one of my toys.Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Just a reminder that the meeting will be all business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, right, what was that comment about burn outs? and food, and drink and more, sounds like great fun, other than going to another meeting, but I'm sure Mr. Darrow will run an effectively timely meeting so there more will be more time for food and burnouts and stuff, fun, like that!

HurstGN Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 What would you know about burnouts Roberta? As I recall, it <span style="font-style: italic">wasn't the President of the BCA that did a burnout in Columbus when the hotel folks were all up in arms over tire smoke in the lots. But then that smoke came from the road betwen the lots as I recall. </span> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_buick5563 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: old-tank</div><div class="ubbcode-body">If time permits were might get to smoke the tires on one of my toys.Willie </div></div>Well just to let everybody know, I smoked the tires on my Wildcat because I hadn't gotten enough sleep the night before and was driving too fast/ didn't see the slow down sign at an exit ramp and spun the car 180 degrees. I was OK, the car was OK, and nobody else was around. Anyway, that was the biggest cloud of tire smoke I have ever been responsible for.It was cool meeting people who I only knew through this forum or the Bugle. I met Bill Darrow (Pres.), Paul Meyer(ex Pres./ "42 crazy", Roberta Vasilow "Buick Racer", among others, along with seeing my Texas buddies, Roy Faries "TxBuicks", Pete Phillips- Editor Extraordinaire , Barney Eaton, and Willie Pittman "Old Tank". I'm sure there were others whom I am forgetting (sorry). BTW, on the way back to Austin, Roberta passed me on the highway with Bill riding shotgun, he waved as they went by and somehow I thought it was appropriate to at least try to take the Buick Racer on the straightaway (for 5 seconds...)I missed the board meeting due to the fact that I was helping to install my new (used) auto lift, but I'm really glad I made it for the afterparty. Thanks y'all for the job you do.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I just looked at the pictures that were taken at the BOD meeting in San Antonio. San Antonio looks like a very interesting city. I do not know how many of the waterways are in the city but it sure looked like Venice. To Roberta, Bill and Dick....Thanks for the look at the city and all of <span style="font-weight: bold">youse guys and gals</span> enjoying the great sunshine.Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Steve,Sounds like you have never been to San Antonio. If you get tired of the snow some year, I would suggest a trip down there. There is only one waterway, but it snakes through the city. You can walk it or the boat trip, or both. To me, it beats the usual sun places like Florida. We sure enjoyed our trip down that way some 10 years ago and I was hoping I could make this BOD meeting. Hopefully, I can visit San Antonio again soon. It seems to me a good place for a BOD meeting every March.JohnJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serb Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 The only time I was in Texas is when i went across the Northern part of the panhandle on my way to Arizona. As far as Florida is concerned, I hate it (sorry you people from Florida). I used to have a condo in Venice and I was there exactly once in the 20 or so years. We went to St Pete's about 10 years ago, still hated it but not as much as the first time I was there. Our daughter lives in North Port for about 2 years now and I have not been there. We will have to go there this year.San Antonio looks like a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
