Hey -
Hope to see you there. Backroads trip sounds great to me! Cherokee and Cades Cove are very nice.

<span style="font-style: italic">"Am thinking about bringing my '59 Bugeye to the show. Am comming out of Greennwood, SC....anyone else making the trip. I'm assuming up I-26 to I-40 into Tenn....or go 441 through Cherokee and come in through Cades Cove? Any suggestions?"</span>
Depends on if you are driving or hauling the Bugeye. If you are driving, go through Cherokee.

I'll be hauling it on my open trailer. Guess I bring it through the gorge down I-40....however I've made the swithback drive from Cherokee in a car but not with a trailer. Which way is closer from Asheville? Is there registration I need to do? Where does one stay while there?

Thru Cherokee is closer but maybe not quicker. Lot's of places to stay in Townsend including the show site at the Tally Ho Inn. Here's the link to the show regarding registration, etc.

Thanks to the organizers of the show - nice effort, and a great turnout, even though the weather was "iffy". No pictures this time. :frown:
Janet and I drove the TR8 over early Friday morning and returned last night. The car did great for the 250 mile (each way) trip. Had a bit of "fluttering" on the way home, just as we were leaving Townsend, but it cleared up and the car ran great. Checked the mileage, and was pleasantly surprised - 27 mpg while running around 70!

Great show, Mickey forgot to mention that He took First Place with his TR8, a great car. I was there with a Works in Progress display, heh. A finished Door, a rechromed valve cover and a bunch of pictures, had a blast. Met many fine people. 142 cars, 7 TR3's 4 TR4's a bunch of 6,s, and some spits. Curt Curtis was there with his TR3, and a 10' X 10' awning which was WONDERFUL that afternoon.
Sure got the juices flowing again.
Hope more of you can make it next year, very pretty area and a fine setting for LBC's
