Bob http://klingbergautoshow.org/ Bob, that looks like a great show. I'm going to be on vacation with the wife so unfortunately I won't be able to attend. Frank, it took me 10 years of going by Bob's spot at Hershey looking for him before I gave up. Then at Pebble Beach last year this good looking dude shows up and introduces himself as Bob. We you get the Nash running Ed and I will come down you can drive us around the yard sitting on milk crates. Will be my first ride in a prewar Nash. I have a few I need to tick off the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Frank..no worries. Just like to know the active pre war car guys around me. We are a rare breed. I haven't met Bob in person yet. I will try for the meet in Kinlgberg but I have to be at the new museum that week and I am not sure I will be home in time for the show. I have made a handful of friendships from this site, and some are now close friends. I actually knew AJ's mom and dad well from the CCCA in the mid 1980's but had never met him until the mid 2000's. He became an instant close and trusted friend. Last year we discussed doing a meet in centeral Mass for the local guys on the forum. I have been so busy we never got it past the talking stage. Maybe next summer we can get a informal weekend based out of a small hotel for a few days drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I never met Bob either. E-met him first on Hamb, and over the years know he is exactly one year ahead in age, works at resto shop, afraid of electric wire fires Bob, not to fret, My kid had the 32 Ford out and was beating on it,. The tiny battery I borrowed from his project truck slid back hard in the oversized tray. He said it pulled the hot wire off the booster electric pump...which all of that is next to the circa 1920 Cad 20 gallon tank. He does not scare easy, just like his Dad A local down-n-dirty truck shop/tow service owner once told me about "unneeded worry"..... he said: "doing that,.. why not live under a rock" (for staying safe at all times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Bob is the MAN. He's the one that pointed me to the Cusik-Schumacher special that ran in the Vanderbilt Cup and eventually got me to the origin of my Stutz. Frank, the best thing my mom ever told me (and I was about 12) was that 99.9 percent of the stuff you worry about never happens. I started keeping track and she was right. Of course, that doesn't mean something you are not worried about doesn't come up and bite you in the rear end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Connecticut State lottery in your/our state way back, had the slogan "you can't win if you don't play" I said "you can't lose if you don't play".
