Yes – it’s been five years since he’s seen a bunny, and that long since I’ve seen him point. I can’t wait to see that again.
You come on down too, Steve!
Dan
Alas, Dick Skinner will not be joining us this year:
Too bad Dick & Rita won’t be there 
But all the others should come and enjoy all the events that scheduled Carlisle Events | Home of the Biggest Car Shows in the Northeast! and if you are not allowed to go on the road alone just bring your wife There is a special entertainment section for the ladies, and of course we have the Miss Carlisle contest.
And to top all that you will be able to meet John Samsen, he worked as a designer for the Chrysler Corp from 1955 until 1976 http://collectibleart.net/JRSbio.html He will be presenting an audio visual program on designing our beloved cars. And if you also like other old cars you might be able to talk to him about his most famous design the first Ford Thunderbird.
If it is enough for me to fly across the ocean it should be enough for you to cruise to Carlisle!
See you there,
Ron
Hi Ron,
I’m saw that I am on the list to be at Carlisle 2010, I just finished changing the oil and finally fixing the oil leak from the drain plug. My plans to have the interior restored to original has been delayed. Still coming to the show, the only thing that would stop me is rain. I am still in need of a fuel sending unit, which I have tracked on ebay, but may wait until the show to find a better deal than $90.00. Also, looking for an original 4 barrel carb that will fit the original airbox, but again the search may be at the show. Hope to see everyone there. If you need some help with getting the group together, please contact me off line at ginog01@comcast.net. Thanks!

There is one more confirmed visitor for Carlisle: Matthew will be coming too. Just last weekend he decided not to go to the Opel Astra meeting in the UK but instead he asked me to find him a reasonably priced ticket to Philly. I found one for him (better schedule as mine 
) and bought it tonight. Tonight he will be dreaming about old cars and philly cheese steaks
Ron
I hope Matthew’s knee flare-ups are completely gone.
It’s gonna be a good crowd at Carlisle.
Aloha friends! Sorry for being non communicative, been on the road the last 3 weeks in Hawaii (work) and California (family vacation) so just have not had much time to talk. Met John Fowlie and M’lissa at a Car show in Fremont, California that I attented with my younger brother.
I did call Dan back tonight to confirm that I have my airline ticket to Carlisle and will be arriving on the July 7th, Weds, at 6:02 AM via the overnight red eye and then won’t depart again till Monday July 12 at 8:45 PM,
I did lose my reservation at the Best Western when I neglected to guarantee it. But have a room at the Comfort Inn nearby in the same town of Mechanicburg.
Was able to make good progress on the 59 this weeked after losing 3 weekends to travel, should have the passenger floor welded in this week.
Then assembly begins next week with the motor and trans installed etc.
Still can’t raise my right arm up without assistance but looking forward to Physical Therapy in Dan’s 50 metre Olympic pool.
Now where is my speedo??? 
I did get a room with two beds in it if anyone is a late comer or want to lower their lodging costs…
John Q.
Alternatively, we could lower your lodging costs, John. I’ve reserved two rooms – Ron and Matthew can be in one, and you and me in the other. However, I must warn you – my room lacks a “no snoring” section 
Dan
Dan, That would keep most of our costs down to be roomies for the weekend! I have to warn you too that I am a CPAP user, so a slight drone of the mini compressor might be comforting to you and your snoring! 
I will call you on this…
John Q.
John, what odd bedfellows we will make! As long as you won’t be landing a 747 in the room, there isn’t much that will keep me awake. Consider it done.
Dan
No 747 landing privaleges here, biggest I have flown is the 727 simulator at the United Flight Training center here in town. I think I crashed it on approach to Ohare… Darn stalll warning devices were inoperative! Leading edge slats were inop too!
Let’s see a 747 engine puts out about 175+ dcB’s so we are safe! Benadryl everynight helps me a lot at night!
A remake of the Odd Couple! 
I will cancel my other Hotel stay. Must appreciated!
John Q.
I think we need to call the hotel to ask for a room on the other end of the building But I am sure we will have a great time there 
Be scared…Be very scared… Naw, we will behave ourselves as to not to disturb the Dutch contingent nocturnal habits.
Ron, Now don’t scare Matthew, he has not met me yet! I guess Dan hasn’t either but what the heck what goes on in Carlisle stays in Carlisle…right?
John Q
Look at it from the other side. You haven’t met me yet
Yowser!!! And me still recovering from Rotator Cuff surgery have no chance against a young Stallion like Matthew. Maybe if I buy you a lunch you will warm up to me?
I do look forward to meeting you though. Hopefully Dan won’t dominate all your time while we are at Chez Morton!
John,
He is still young but he has bad knees so he can’t run away very fast :lol But when you buy him a cheese steak he will certainly warm up to you, you’ll have a friend forever
Within two weeks my feet will be on American soil again (or maybe in the water of Dan’s Olympic pool) 
Ron
That’s where my two feet are right now, Ron. 'cept, when I stretch out with my feet on one end, my head is near the other! 
Naw, you can’t do laps, but it’s 17 feet, methinks. Plenty of room for a respite from the heat. it’s 95 here today. Soon I’ll be cranking up the grille soon for some Father’s Day festivities.
This week I plan to start beating the bushes, Ron – emailing '59 folk within shouting distance, seeing if they plan to come to Carlisle. I’ll update this topic soon.
Dan
