keiser31 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Ohhh man...even FURTHER away from me than the last meet. I'll just have to wait until there's another one on the west coast...unless I get rich. O.K....I have an idea. Everybody send me ten dollars.

Phil 32DL6 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 John...just request a nickle donation every time you give helpful advice. You'll have your airfare in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 John...just request a nickle donation every time you give helpful advice. You'll have your airfare in no time! I was thinking instead of flying, your donations would help me get my '31 ready, get me the gas money and get me there (and back). Do you really think my advice is worth a nickel? Wow! I just may have to give even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 32DL6 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Do you really think my advice is worth a nickel? Wow! I just may have to give even more.Nope...it's worth much more. I meant you give so much even a modest nickle would quickly earn big bucks!Hope your '31 DOES make the trip. But, if not, your welcome to ride shotgun in a '32!

Everybody send me ten dollars.John, it looks like your wait for a West Coast meet just got a little longer. Joe Cozza said that the fellow that was to host the 2013 Meet in Riverside, CA, apparently has health problems and has decided not to go thru with it. I just got a call yesterday from a fellow DB Club member on his way home from the Moline DB Meet. I am not sure it's official yet, but he tells me the torch has been passed to him for hosting the 2013 DB meet near Dallas, Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be in Texas.I don't think it will be in June though.I'm guessing April/ May.Joe C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idrjoe_sandiego Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Vern- you and your car will burn up! It's Africa hot in Texas in June, July or August. For that matter, it is Africa hot in Riverside, CA in July, where the meet was originally located. (For the same reason, thankfully, that's not going to be the venue). And with all due respect, the "kids" argument holds no water. In the last five National Dodge meets I have attended, you could count the kids in attendance on one hand. By my estimate, perhaps incorrect, the far majority of attendees are retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Zetnick Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Wow, the 2013 meet in Dallas!!!That's only about 30 miles from me; can't wait!..and Joe, yes it is "Africa Hot" right now....we actually had a cool front come thru and only supposed to get to 98 today!

Phil 32DL6 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 And...here are some of my toys. Besides 45 years of tinkering with DBs, I'm a life-long flying disc (Frisbee) player, collector and historian. I co-wrote the definitive history of the Frisbee with its original inventor: Flat Flip Flies Straight!Amazingly, each of those early flying discs shown could buy a nicely restored DB.

NTX5467 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Did someone say Wineries?!?! I'd be all over that!

Shannon, John is being modest...You should see his hubcap collection. It can be seen from Space. Nasa had to develop a special sunglass for the Space Shuttle crew when they orbit over Southern Oregon. It's amazing what one 106 year old man can do.

It's amazing what one 106 year old man can do.O.K.....I just HAD to show this shot from Google Earth of my hubcaps...With the price of stainless today, maybe I can sell my caps (which are all stainless) to the scrap guy and have enough money to make the next meet!

keiser31 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) That's so true, Doc. Once I scrap all of those 1967 AMC caps and those 1964 Impala caps, EVERYONE will want them. I'd better hold off on that "scrapping" thing...mmmm....let's see...how much can I get for them in another 100 years??? Wanna buy a hubcap? Oh....I have since moved the caps off of my wife's daffodils at her urging. Edited August 3, 2011 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIClassicGirl Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 :eek: Wow! I even had to put shades on to look at the photo!! :cool: That's some collection! And I think you guys are correct....what if you do live to 206? Of course once you sell the caps....everyone is going to want them!! There has to be some happy medium that you can sell some of each and still make the meet! And I will say Thank You for removing them from the flower bed for your wife!! I have my own flowerbeds and would be happy my husband removed his stuff from my flowers!! This thread has gotten way too commical!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIClassicGirl Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 :eek: Oh you haven't met my daughter! She's not your typical girl. She's an artist. She plays viola & acoustic guitar but also works on her own dirt bike & snowmobile. And she's looking forward to helping me with the car!! She HATES dresses!! And I am not kidding when I say HATES! She would kill me if I made her do that for the meet!! But I think I'm seriously going to look into the 2012 meet. I've always wanted to go out east & this is a great opportunity to do so!
