[Spridgets] Fw: Carlisle

[abcoz at hky.com]

Didn’t see many Spridgets there, this year.  But I think the event seemed to be showing signs of a revival.  The car show end of it has gotten to be HUGE.  While the parts vendor numbers are still pretty small, there seemed to be more vendors, this year than last.

So, instead of this probably being my last year of attending, I’m pretty sure I’ll be back next year.

 

Besides, the drive out there and back, from Pittsburgh, is half the fun.

I've not been a perianal attendee at the Carlisle Import show, but whenever I have attended, it's always been very enjoyable event. I would typically travel there on Friday, attend the event on Saturday, and head to Summit Point, VW that evening to attend the Jefferson 500 on Sunday. I'll unfortunately not be available for any of that this year.

Ahhh fond memories .

The Philly MG club swap meet, import Carlisle & sprite spree AND the Infamous LBC rallys.

( and a minister for a navigator......)

And the early years of OSHIT.  hey! I have the tattoo to prove it!   Right Larry..."OUCH"....every time you walked by.

Racing Frank to the Lancaster healey meet....we had to be the 2 loudest LBC'S showing up.  Daniel bringing big rear spridget brakes to America as carry on luggage....

IT WAS ONE HELL OF A GOOD TIME!

And a very prominent part OF All it was Frank.

* dam it actually brings a year to my eyes*

And who could forget "zap screws and liquid nails".

Carlisle was a yearly pilgrimage to get Frank wet.   Muddy shoes, meets under the bleachers and more!

Funny how it seems like an eternity ago...

Yes Carlisle has changed over and over.   But!  The memories.   The people who are no longer with us.   They may be gone, but at least at my garage, they are not forgotten.

See you at Carlisle....what ever the weather provides.

Probably not going to rain....just to spite Frank.
