Paul:
I am planning on it. Just looking at the weather. Scattered showers are forecast, Might go anyway. I like it up there. It is a nice trip and the grounds and food are good. BobbyD is not going this time.

Are you going?

 

[Brosky]

Yes, I plan to go Al. Rob will be bringing the Lotus, not his 250.

 

[Trick6]

I don't know your route but maybe we can rendezvous on the Mass Pike. Would you be going that direction or another?

 

[Brosky]

Sorry, but I don't go that route Al. I'm just north of Providence, so I go 95 to 128 to RT 1 right into Brookline.

 

[Trick6]

Well, all righty then. That then is maybe a 45 min drive for you? 1-1/2 hour for me. I will be leaving about 8:30 or so. I should be arriving about 10-10:30. I usually stop on the Pike for a McD's pancake sausage breakfast. Just hope the weather holds up.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I was wondering what you paid to have your bumpers rechromed. They look awesome and would like to get my done this winter. Thanks

 

[Brosky]

Don't forget that they are now serving breakfast brunch at the museum.

 

[Brosky]

Jerry,

I've got to look that up. It wasn't cheap, but they came out perfect. I think that it was around $1,200, taxes and all, but that included welding in pieces on the rear bumper to fill in where the overriders have a slot on 74's only. Tedious work, but you would never know there was a slot on either side.

 

[Trick6]

Paul, if it is raining here I will not start out unless I can get a good weather fix on the day. I don't mind getting caught in the rain. That is why they included the top. But I will not drive out into it unless the destination is sunny. Keep your fingers crossed for a decent day

 

[Brosky]

Agreed Al. I feel the same way.

If it's wet, I stay home and work on my website, which I am WAY behind on.

 

[BobbyD]

We got a 9:40 tee time so I'm waiting until their Day of Triumph in July. Have fun guys......it's a great show.

Boston weather 6/29/08:

<span style="font-style: italic">Sunday: A chance of showers, mainly between noon and 1pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 1pm. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy rain. Areas of fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 84.</span>

See you in July at Day of Triumph. Maybe it will stop raining <span style="font-weight: bold">every single day</span> by then!

Hi Folks,

Just driving thru.

Wish I could go as I`ve never been to the Museum. It really looks like a Great Gathering place.

Weather here in PA is not looking good at all. Wet, Wet & Wetter!

Wishing All a Sunny Day,

Russ

I am planning to go from Hartford to Brookline to the show. I am trying to gather Doppler, satellite and other information to get a guess as to where the bad weather is coming from and when. I am not having much success. Can someone out there give me a link to a weather site that has real time radar of CT/MA or New England area? I need to know where the weather is now, the form it is in, how fast it is moving and the direction. You know, weather stuff.

Hi Al.

I use Weather Underground .

It does have local and regional radar and you can "animate" it to see how things are moving.

Hope this helps ... have a great day at your show.

Matt

 

[Trick6]

Thanks pa. I am on the way.

 

[Brosky]

OK, it was very damp, cool and foggy (yeah, I know, it's New England) driving in, but by the time Al found his way there, it was flat out hot!!!

Al finally did make it and I have the proof below, along with a treat for you Wedge Heads. Al and Erik make a great tuning discussion team. This was before we consumed great sausage sandwiches at the food tent.

And also a smart Sunbeam owner with excellent taste in color for his exterior finish.
