I will not be able to attend Carlisle this year and have a show field pass that I will donated to anyone interested in going.

[Al Greig]

Reservations made, arrive Thursday afternoon.

 

[Al Greig]

Bought show field pass today, see you all in Carlisle!

[Al Greig]

I have a VW based kit, 1776 cc engine with a mild cam and a two barrel weber carburetor.  I get about 25 mpg overall.

Put date on calendar, hopefully I will be able to make it this year.

I replaced all of my instruments, including speedometer obtained from Classic Instruments.  At the time, 2011, they sold a adapter for VW, a cable that fit square home in front wheel bearing cap with electronic transducer that interfaced with speedometer.

Also booked Thursday to Sunday

I have been running a PerTronix electrotonic ignition and associated coil in my 1776 since I build it about 20 years ago.  Happy with performance, no regrets. Still carry set of ordinal points in car as backup.

[Al Greig]

Would like to have been able to attend now that we are in NC but on a cruse beginning Oct 6, 2023.  Maybe next year.

Agree with Ed.  When I had my top made about 20 years ago the canvas shop wanted about $150 more than the stock top from MG Magic.  As a plus they inserted a nylon piece at front of top where it goes into the slot in windshield frame.  I have never had an issue with top coming off at speed.

[Al Greig]

Probably worth the asking price just for the grill.  Like the wheels.

[Al Greig]

Also my wife Rose Ann will be attending

Ed

Al

[Al Greig]

VW don’t leak oil, they just mark their spot, sort of like a male dog.

Thinking of booking hotel.  Is there a group deal?  Any additional info on activities?

[Al Greig]

Is someone arranging hotel and activities as per years past?

Will need to pass on Carlisle this year.  Haven’t seen the grandkids in NC for over a year.  They will both be playing in baseball tournaments the same weekend as Carlisle.  Wife and I have gotten both doses if the vaccine and have decided the baseball tournament’s is a event we can’t miss.  Looking forward to 2022!

I have Hagerty with a agreed value if car is totaled.

[Al Greig]

I did but it was back in the 60’ies when white wall tires were the IN thing.
