EdI am interested as expressed above. I will try and drag Dean with me as well. Can discuss with you at Carlisle.

Reminder, gentlemen:

I cruised over to the usual Saturday cars & coffee at the Hunt Valley mall. Rolled in behind a stunning cream colored Speedster replica and I swear Bridget got more attention than that car.

Yessir, sounds like a plan. I’ll PM you my cell#

Bill, We are thinking about being at the Turkey Hill in Denver at about 10:00.  Does that work for you?

This morning Charlene and I took the cars to the Historical Car Club of PA Spring Show at Linvilla Orchards in Media, PA.

Good deal Jack.Mine sits easy across the back with a couple of bungee cords.Will try to remember the TDREPLICA banner this year.
