Putting Together Car Show w/ Musk. Air Fair (Blue Angels)

Well this sucks. I cannot go to the airshow as my good friend's wife just laid on me that they are having a surprise 50th b.d. party that weekend. I just canceled my reservations on the ferry and the shoreline hotel. Last weekend I had to cancel the oak street show due to a college grad party and now the dorral show is in question. Business and a very busy social life are messing up the fun social Ferrari events big time this year. Hey Frank, save one of those salmon we were going to troll for on our way to Mich!!!!!!!

 

Just made our reservations at The Shoreline Inn. It looks like a nice place and like Andreas mentioned, nice to have a few drinks if you want and not have to drive home. They allow dogs too, but only up to 25 pounds...Looks like 2 of the 3 Shelties is going to have to go on a diet!

 

Great to have you girls for this event. Now the big question: What car will take you there? And the even bigger question: Have you reserved the ferry yet?

 

Well Andreas - looks like we're taking both the Lambo and the GTO
We hadn't figured out the issue of the Ferry yet..
still debating...

If that pile (GTO) in the garage is not done by the time the VA Car Show is here, you will see something in the news about a blonde getting "whacked" by a shorter blonde!

 

Oh man,what a Bummer! Oh well....Yes,will save some Salmon.... I took my kids Downtown the other day for a little Family Day thing....Not too much,as,I can't handle alot of Walking. But,I took them on a Shoreline Cruise,(a Double Decker Boat) from the Aquarium area. The kids loved it. First time that my 7 year old Son was on a big boat. I told him that the Ferry is much bigger,and Faster. So,he is now even more excited about that. It's inching ever so closer...can't wait!

 

That sounds fantastic,Jerry. We are really looking forward to this. We'll be taking the 12:30PM Ferry from MKE on Friday the 22nd. They say it should arrive Muskegon at 4:00PM. Plus,however long it takes to offload. See you then!

 

Sounds Great! Can't wait!

 

I guess I should start watching the Chicago forum!! Hey Jerry, don't forget about us in Michigan who are making the trek to Muskegon.

I'm taking Friday off so I'd be interested in meeting up with the group for the Grand Haven drive on Friday Afternoon as well.

 

Jerry, sounds like a fun idea (I'd love to see the Batmobile), but we really don't have much time: Our ferry leaves at 10:15am on Sunday, so we have to be there by 9:15am.

Maybe a quick visit on Friday evening (say 6pm) might work better?

 

Man,that sounds cool! It would be great if we could check them out. I don't know of any famous cars here....There is a guy with a "Dragula" copy. And,a Red/Tan Mondial Cab. that was owned by Goldie Hawn For Sale at FVM.

Al Capone,and his Parents and other Family are Buried in a Cemetary that is just down the Road from me....If I can remember,I'll bring a Photo of his Grave to give to your Bud with the Capone Car.

And...George Barris is in Town this Weekend at the Volo Auto Museum....

See you in a few weeks!

BTW....Who do we have from Chicagoland going now?

 

Does that make it special?

 

Well,Hell Yeah!!!!........That is.........only.........IF....you are a Goldie Hawn fan. Me?....NO..... I did like Her in "Laugh In",though.....

No,I'm not one of those "Star Struck" types. I have met alot of Rock Stars in my day. Nice,mostly regular Folks. Unfortunately,there are way too many people who view Celebrities as God Like.....Not Me! But,as far as getting a Car that was owned by a "Celebrity",be they real or self appointed.... That doesn't make any difference to me personally.

A year or so ago,there was also a Red/Tan Mondial cab. that was owned by Michael Andretti being offered For Sale. Now,tell me he didn't work that car hard....

But,as sure as ****,if you do have a Car like that,there will be plenty of people who will go gaga googoo because of that. Go figger!

 

BTW.....Jerry,I received the Mail that you sent today. Thanks,but that should be fine. See you in a few weeks!

 

No,Jerry,I was referring to Current "Celebrities",and those people who just can't get enough of them...And just have to know every single thing that they do...whether they read it in the 'National Enquirer',or watch it on one of those Lame TV Magazine shows like 'Entertainment Tonight'. Who cares about "Bennifer" or "Madonna", (she probably doesn't even drive.... ) "Britney Spears", (is she still "In"...?...do We care?... ) or "Brad Pitt".... Or,A Car once owned by "Ashton Kutcher".... Stuff like that.

Now,IMHO,something that has a Connection with something that was/is Historically significant. Whether it be to everyone,or just ourselves,is Cool. Historically,and/or in the Automotive World. Al Capone's Car? Very Cool. The Batmobile? Very Cool. Stuff like that to me is cool. Something from George Barris. Carroll Shelby. The Rat Pack. I certainly do agree with you. The Car is Cool,first. The Celebrity of that car is second. But,I suppose that that is a subject in the eye of the beholder.... But,usually,if the Car is an Old Car,it has that going for it right there to start with.

As I mentioned about the Michael Andretti Car. Cool,but probably driven very Hard....but,definitely not as cool as if it was Mario's....

No,My Son and I would definitely Love to see those Cars if we can. But,as Andreas said,maybe Friday afternoon would be about the only chance we'd have,as,our Ferry leaves early on Sunday...

 

Sounds Great! I will be bringing my Video Camera along for this fantastic event.... Cars,Boat,and Planes....what more can one ask for! My Son is just biting at the bit...."How much longer,Dad,how much longer..."...

 

Tell Jim he has my donation for sure. I MUST sit in the Batmobile.

Better yet: Ask him what number I have to put on the cheque to DRIVE it. I'm serious.

 

Pls post photos I am a huge batmobile fan!
