Called the hotel to make reservation and was referred to a “Christy Miller’s” voicemail. She’s in charge of marketing and reservations for those rooms go through her. She is off until Tuesday, 12/27.

From the Speedster site: original block of 40 rooms all booked up. More rooms to be set aside for Speedster/Spyder/MG peeps today or tomorrow. Apparently they’re honoring the rate anyway.

Of all the 7 going to Carlisle (so far because I hope more come), who is between Carlisle and Georgia besides Royal? Want to see if I can hook up on the way there and back.

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackWe’re just a few miles south of Carlisle (about an hour and a half, two hours, depending on the route). Would be keen to convoy up with you. There are also several Speedsters coming from that direction. If you want I’ll try to get you with Lane Anderson, who a so cool that my wife has confused him with Paul Mossberg, or vice-versa. I’d love to be part of a wild herd of these things galloping along the countryside.

The Karmann Ghia won’t make it out of the paint shop in time for Carlisle.
But my wife and I are still going! 
We’ll be going in the Silverado. Next year I hope to be going in my newly assembled TD. I say hope because you just never know what’ll get done when all you have is a back yard to work in.Allen Caron

"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackAllen, sorry to hear that your Ghia won’t be making the trip. But the good news is that you will still be there and will have that much more time to point out things that I should/could do to MiGi
. MiGi’s engine is apart right now and I am putting her back together. No surprises so far except that a lot of my “tin” was missing or not installed correctly. I got what I need from my nearby VW junkyard so she’ll be good. Hope to get the engine rolling on the starter motor today. I figgered that would give it a good oil prime before I put in the spark plugs. eh?? Look forward to meeting you and your wife. Roy Allen,
Did you register your Ghia already?
If not, do it. When you get there and check-in, just tell them the car was not ready yet. But you’re driving your truck and have supplies for the Speedster Owner Group club gathering.
You’ll received your sticker and will be able to enter the show grounds with your truck.
That gets you admission for all three days for you and your wife.
And there is always plenty of room to park, on the field, but away from the “show cars”

Paul…I registered the Ghia a few days after you did so we should be good.

Thanks for asking.
My TD is still held hostage by the future ex-wife. I have not had access to it since February 2011.
It’s sitting with a bad engine, with a 1776 long block on the floor of the garage. The long block has been sitting for a couple months longer than the TD. And I’m concerned there may be internal corrosion that is going to mean the 1776 will need a rebuild before it has ever turned one rpm.
So…it’s looking unlikely.

Well the car won’t be ready but I decided I’m going anyway. I need a long break and a road trip to this show will be just the ticket.
I know I’m a late comer but I had a glimmer of hope that my ride would be ready by then so I was holding out to see if I could drive her up. No such luck.
I’ll likely arrive sometime on Friday and would like to put some faces with names so if those already on the roster wouldn’t mind letting me know what you’re plans are I’d love to hook up.
I’m taking the following week to make my way back home so I’ll be in relax mode all weekend.
Anyone know of any hotels that just might have a space open?
Can’t wait
Rocky, what will you be driving up? Maybe you can caravan with some club members.
I’m heading up Friday a.m. from Baltimore.
Look forward to meeting you.
Rocky, We’re leaving from Warner Robins on the Thursday night after work and plan on arriving sometime around noon on Friday. perhaps we can meet somewhere along the route.
