Greetings!
And another V8 convention is coming to an end...
Up front I would like to off a Laurel and Hardy handshake and a tip of the
hat to Dan Masters, Conventioln Coordinator Extraordinaire. Dan did a
fantastic job of planning this meet, all apparently went off without a hitch.
The Highland Manor Inn was a great place to say; the countryside and
accompanying roads a real treat; the attendees all great fun!
The Spuriites were here (and needed no bail money!). Mikel Mohr, Kurt Schley,
Glen Towery, Bob McClain, Pete Mantell, Dave Mikels, Jim Stuart, and myself
had a great time. Mikel's dad and brother-in-law were here as well as
Carl,Floyd, Ted Lathrop, Max Fulton, Graham Criswell, Dan LaGraue, Al Wulf,
Martin Harvey.....the list goes on of attendees this year....some new; many
returnees!
Today's activities included an offering of self guided tours in the morning
and tech sessions, the auction, and door prizes this afternoon, and tonight
had us taking a trip through the Great Smoky Mountains to Gatlinburg where we
had a great meal and the same with comaradaire. I was lucky to receive one of
the top door prizes - a custom wiring harness from Dan Masters for my MGB/GT
V8 conversion. (Yep - that new in the box Painless Wire system will be up for
sale!)
We'll be off bright and early in the morning in an attempt to beat a storm
front brewing in Missouri (the windscreen wipers failed - mechanically - on
this trip and all I have is Rain-X).
We're not sure exactly where or when the V8 meet wil be next year....but you
can bet one thing.....I'll be there!
Regards...
