Don Hardy Baby, most exciting car you will ever drive.The engine is cool but what about that V8 Vega in the mirror. I had on way back in the day
We have a used machinery dealer coming , along with several guys selling tooling & model engine casting kits, Ignitions, and more.My dad and I went to a show at a VFW?
In York, PA 25 years ago so I could pickup a Kalamazoo bandsaw. I was meeting a used machinery dealer from up state NY.
In the lobby was a Rolls Royce Merlin out of a P51 D. My father couldnt stop telling me about that engine. It was a side of him I had never seen.
It was amazing what talent all of the folks had showing the running minitures.
It was an enjoyable afternoon.
Ok here we go, we did show at the tractor show out at Jefferson Park couple weeks go, several of our members do show at Portland.So you guys used to be part of the show over by the Casad depot? I’ve been a few times, great show.
Unfortunately I can’t make it this year, Boy Scout Camporee in Kendaltucky that weekend.
Does your group go down to the show in Portland? I’ve never been to that one, always wanted to though.
