EmTee Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 15 minutes ago, Ben Bruce aka First Born said: COME ON!! Drive it! Ha - that was 'Plan A', however, weather up here in late October/early November can include snow or freezing rain (which means salted roads). Not wanting to risk that, together with the fact that I don't want to drive the '38 on Interstate highways, the alternate US/State highway route would take more time. The decision was ultimately driven by my desire to participate in future touring events further from home and my wife's desire to bring her Allante' to FL this winter. Don't worry - the Century gets plenty of exercise! JohnD and I will also be doing some sightseeing in the area. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got your spot all ready on the back side of Buick Pond, cane poles all geared up and night crawlers waiting. You’ll need to bring your own oil and skillet though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Indeed, SAFE TRAVELS on the Buick Highway everyone!!! And thank you all again for coming, some of you for many hundreds of miles, just for this one day event. Currently we have around 40 Buicks coming plus my 4, just the right number to allow time for looking them all over and meeting their owners. It's gonna be a HOOT!!!

JohnD1956 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Wrapped up 350 miles today and overnighting in Hickory, NC. What beautiful weather for a fall drive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 Great that you’re getting to see the fall colors. They’re mostly browns around here due to the three month drought we had at the end of summer. Happy trails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 If anybody is coming, that hasn’t left home yet, if you’re not planning on keeping the August issue of the Bugle, (with my BS&S article) I would appreciate if you would bring it to me. I ended up with nare a hard copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickory is a pleasant stop, 321 south is pretty nice wide open and low traffic until you get to Gastonia. If you need anything from Steele Rubber take Hwy 16 South and they are not far off from the Hwy. But it does take you into the heart of Charlotte traffic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

364nailhead Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) Mr Earl, I really wanted to go to this one day event, to see The Buick Gardens, I just couldn't get the Buick ready in time for the 700 mile journey. Stupid carburetor, plus needs new tires. This would have been a blast!! It would have been a real pleasure meeting you, Rita and Elvis and all the other Buick Friends! Wishing everyone safe travels! No skinny dipping in the Buick Pond! 🤣 Richie Edited October 26, 2023 by 364nailhead (see edit history) 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
