That's the second article today on how friendly we are! (My Dropjaw Mag arrived!) Sorry you won't make Butler, but we will meet somewhere. Nice to hear your wife and daughter had fun-that makes it much easier to go again!

What a great time! Thanks all that were there to make that possible!
Oh--2 quick answers--swimmster, if you want o bring friends--just let us know and we can work out something ahead of time so everyone knows what is going on--they really should beg, borrow, or steal a VAN tho--
and the count was actually 81 Vans--from CA/AZ totals tomorrow!
Cherish your friends! HUGGS to all! Suzie

If they bring their kids, that;s 5 people total. They're kinda hurtin funds wise for the time bein, so a van for them is outta the picture.. but just hangin with some of you good timin party folks, these guys would fit in oooh so well with you. was all i could think about was how much fun they would have too. they are far looser than we are. the husband would be up on stage for sure in the Mr. contest i can guarentee you that.. He's also always been into the older hot rods.. has built MANY of them.. you guys might even be able to strike up a painting deal with him. he;s done some multi award winning paint jobs on some cars. trying to talk him into just spraying my van for me. He was goin nuts when i showed him the showvans.com site.. so who knows.. maybe a trip out to one of these might sway them to take on a van. He made a 57 chevy 2 dr. permanent convertible that has a stack of trophies behind it out of a totally rotted out 57 4 door chevy. seen pics.. lol.. it's amazing.. You all just don't know how well he would fit in.. hahaha.. ANyways.. tryin to get them to put the time off for Keystone. and between now and then, get him up to speed on what's what. we'll see..
greybeard.. we gotta have a beer together.. wish i had more time to have a beer with a bunch of you.. and it's true.. these van runs are just not long enough.. lolol..
Yeah..... I know I know.... It's NOT a van... But if you squint, It could be a REALLY long van? | | | Re: Flamingo Fest 19 Aug 21-23 2009 | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 3,001 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 3,001 | Those Short on Funds Must always keeps ears and eyes open, ya never know when that Steal, is gonna come down the Pike. I couldn't find a Drivable builder a few months ago for $2500 to $3500 that i wanted, now deals are everywhere, saw a decent 89 Ford Shorty comming home yesterday for $995,go figure.
