May 11, 200916 yr I picked up another camp stove this morning ..and some propane. I have a small cast iron skillet too
May 11, 200916 yr Author Ain't never seen so few people make so much babble ..... But anyhow,I'll be there to annoy you all for at least a few hours on Saturday. Not too concerned about food this year but I'll try to bring something cool to share. Sorry for disappearing for a couple of weeks - it was a BLAST !!! Our computer should be back later tonight or tomorrow - or real soon. Then you'll have to deal with me daily again. Looking like a Friday 3PM departure from here (Connecticut shoreline) going to the Pine Barrens area. Romp around , maybe collect some frogs or something with my son , then gravitate towards Carlisle by the evening. You guys probably won't see us Friday night but we'll be there already come the morning. Waffle House would be cool but not necessary. Shake hands , say hi ,take some pictures and then we'll be heading home around noon - 1PM - sorry :-\ See you soon!
May 12, 200916 yr This is looking to be more of a flop for carlisle this year..no excitement ..nothing. Starting to wonder if its worth the 5 hour drive. And I just checked the weather...nice and warm but chance of thunderstorms Edited May 12, 200916 yr by Bucky92
May 12, 200916 yr hey i'm excited and anxious i wish it was friday already.... Matt dont forget the banner
May 12, 200916 yr banner is already in the trunk of the SVX as of 3:30 pm today with my car duster I'm excited. I'm off work so what is their not to be happy about?
May 12, 200916 yr I'm excited too....Only a three day work week this week (I had monday off and have friday off:grin:) and good times coming this weekend. Is it Friday yet?
May 12, 200916 yr Matt, Save me a spot next to your SVX for my Claret. Ill have my detailer, microfibers, etc. The car is far from perfect and there are a few issues and details which I still have to address. Also, is there a car wash close by? I'll be arriving around 11PM-Midnight Friday (have a wedding to go to) and staying until Sunday.

Mikey ..they have spots close to our site where you can wash the car...they have about 8 hoses by the bathrooms. I am almost finished clay barring my Impreza right now...just have to do the roof, rims, and tires and she is done..will just need a quick detail later.

May 12, 200916 yr will claybar get rid of haze in the paint or should I go buy some compound. If Mike is parking next to me I have to go polish my turd a little better before the show.

Depends Matt...if its oxidation..yes claybar will work on it..even if its embedded in the paint it will help. I used it on my craptastic coupe last year before the show and it brough that 26 year old paint back to a decent shine.It also works wonders for bugs and tar. Clay Bar makes the car look like glass...after you follow up with a good wax.: I think she is ready: Edited May 12, 200916 yr by Bucky92
May 12, 200916 yr Yeah... My car has been driven only once since Reading and it could use a bath, though its normally covered when outdoors. It should look okay though.

May 12, 200916 yr Connie, lookin GOOD! Oh, and just an FYI to all coming... Darlingchip and I scored some last minute boneless-skinless chicken fillets that we're gonna cook up and bring with us for Saturday lunch (or dinner?) We actually have about 6 or 7 good sized pieces... should be more than enough for the expected turnout. Anybody heard from the Whirly's? (Thinks of the sweet toolbox-grill)
May 12, 200916 yr will claybar get rid of haze in the paint or should I go buy some compound. If Mike is parking next to me I have to go polish my turd a little better before the show. just let me park my green car beside yours. i guarantee it will make your car look brand new! (in comparison...)
May 12, 200916 yr Matt claybar is pretty easy to use...the biggest most important part..is making sure you use a lubricant. and you have to follow us with a wax right away cause it strips out the old wax. Basically..kneed the clay bar and make it flat...spray on the lube ( which is usually nothing more then a spray detailer.) in small areas..rub the clay bar over the area you sprayed. YOu will feel the bar picking stuff up ..almost a resistance. when the bar moves smooth..wipe off the lube and go to the next area. Never use the bar on a dry spot. and kneed the bar frequently to work whatever you just pulled from the paint into the bar. Do the car in sections..like claybar the hood..wipe it clean..wax it...fender...door etc etc. If you want..I will show you how to do it friday.Its hard to explain for me but I would be more then happy to show you and help you bar your SVX.
May 13, 200916 yr I have off work on Thursday so i will be looking into CB'ing the SVX if everything goes my way...if not then Friday it will be. Thanks!
May 13, 200916 yr Author Hey all ... anyone wanting to meet up at the Barrens Friday evening can PM me. Exchange numbers and all that. We sure can use a support vehicle at the Barrens because it looks like we're going in the FWD 2.2 :eek::-\ Trying to get my Brat ready but ......
May 13, 200916 yr Went shopping last night. I picked up the Coffee and Coffee cups, some hotdogs and rolls, ketchup, mustard, plastic ware, and plates. John told you all about the yummy chicken that we are bringing. Just need to make it threw work for today and tomorrow then it is Carlisle time.
May 13, 200916 yr I just have to make it through today yet at work...and that is not going to be easy... I was going to wash cars tomorrow...but they are calling for rain/t-storms. sigh.
