Hey VR I'll be there early on Friday... the crowds get nasty on the weekend and the weather looks to be better on Thursday and Friday Make sure you arrive *really early* to avoid the worst of the road gridlock

I have tried in the past to get ppl interested in a get together at various Carlisle events thru the season... never had any success last year. I always have a hoot.... just walking around and checking out the classic iron, vendors and other sh*t. Have a great time

Oh, yeah... add a line on Charlie's "Chime In" thread pasted to the top if you'd like to join this dysfunctional group

Are you talking about the Compact/Import Car show? Usually it is awfull (in my opinion). Spray can painted dashboards, alteeza lights out the wazooo, fire extinguishers on the A-pillars, painted rear drum brakes, etc.........

I live about 10 miles from there, but I doubt I will go to that show...... There are a few classy cars and a few decent vendors (HRE), but for the most part it is crap with a bunch of skinny 18 year olds wearing size 42pants.

The weather DOES SUCK going into it. I got there a little late last year. But will try to get there a little earlier this year. I love to see the burn-out contest. Last year was pretty good.

Scot, I know what you mean about the rice that goes on down there. But I still enjoy to see people's creativity, yet knock on those who do shitty jobs. Its all in good fun, plus it gives me a chance to stretch my baby's legs. It's about an hour or so drive for me.

Scot-

I'm talkin about the Spring (going on thru this weekend), Summer, and Fall Carlisle shows... not the ricer Import/Compact one. I also usually go to the Chryslers in Carlisle one in July... much smaller and a nice recall of my Mopar youth

Six or seven bucks buys a day of vintage 40/50/60 eye candy for the car buff and then I can smugly drive away in my low-maintenance S

DOH.... Hahahaha... all this time I'm talking about *this weekend's* event at Carlisle... since VR posted it right before the first Carlisle of the season (long winter of cabin fever )

In any event , I AM leaving metro Philly tonight to drive to bucolic Central PA... and ready to enjoy Spring Carlisle for 5-6 hours tomorrow, Friday, April 25th

Thanks for the *heads up* Paulie, or else I might have driven to the OBX tonight
