I must agree.
For me, it was the camaraderie and friendship more than the event itself.
A meeting of friends and acquaintances, (usually in the rain & mud).
Searching for parts in the early days and trying to get rid of parts in
more recent years ;) Lunch with friends and dinner at the "Steak
Place".
Frank bringing home cars that he didn't know exactly how he had acquired,
and didn't have a trailer for ;) I was usually the closest so a quick
trip home to get the trailer and then to Tom's River with his latest
acquisition. He did that a few years in a row.
He called it PennsylRAINia because every time he came here it rained, even
for some of the rallies we staged.
I'll miss Carlisle Import, but I miss the "Spridget crew" more.
Those of you who are going, have a GREAT time! Stay dry!!
