Anyone going to British Car Days in San Diego?

[tdskip]

Anyone going? It was a hoot last year....

 

[Monark192]

Yes - will be there with our Midget.

 

[tdskip]

Cool!

There are a couple of us going from Orange County. Are you going to be displaying the Midget?

 

[Monark192]

are you bringing a Spridget?

 

[Grantura_MKI]

I will be there again. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

 

[tdskip]

Simon - I'll be in a BGT since the Bugeye is in storage (temporary).

Grantura - what are you bringing?

 

[Grantura_MKI]

Probably the 1959 MKI /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif. This show is heald at my home, so I could bring down a few from the shop, but the organizers will charge me for every vehicle that is on my own field /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif! See you Sunday morning.

 

[Monark192]

Sorry tdskip, I missed your question. Yes the Midget will be on display - look for the red 1974 car (with 73 bumbers) and several rust bubbles in the paint on the bonnet.

 

[tdskip]

See you there guys!

I'll be in a BGT running for the 'best beater' award.

 

[Grantura_MKI]

I won that award year before last! Nice bit of kit...wash bucket, shampoo, tyre dressing, etc.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
Cheers.

One of these years I'll have to convince the wife that we need to take a vacation down to San Diego around the time of this event. "Honey, the zoo is fun, it's warm down there. Oh look, what is that, a car show? What a coincidence..." /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tdskip]

Great time of year to come on down Drew. It isn't too late!!

 

[drooartz]

Not this year, but might try one of these years. Other than picking up the Tunebug, I've not spent any time in the San Diego area. Sure looked pretty, though the snow/sleet/hail/rain we had that day didn't make it that much fun for driving with a Bugeye on a long trailer with no lights in CA traffic.

 

[Grantura_MKI]

You could test drive a RHD car as well! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

 

[tdskip]

Ohhh - if Drew can't make it I have dibs!

 

[drooartz]

No chance this year, as there's no funding for any road trips for a while. Might have to try for next year

Though the offer of a drive in a RHD is really tempting!

 

[Grantura_MKI]

Nothing like dangling a carrot? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

 

[drooartz]

Got to put the funds into Bugeye improvements for now. Might make a nice motorcycle trip next year, though. That's a long drive in a Bugeye, and not very pretty for most of it.

 

[Grantura_MKI]

Sorry, Drew. No non engish bikes allowed on the field. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif Best to bring the bug. I did the midwest and back in my B in 3 days. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

 

[drooartz]

Knew I should have bought that new Bonneville... Maybe if I can get the 1275/5-speed by next year I'll give it a try.
