Thread: Damn, I coulda drove to Don's house---

Tweet

You have already read about my rather ugly 3500 mile drive through rain to see a somewhat questionable East Coast Nationals in Moncton, New Brunswick.
I was setting here this morning, and just for the heck of it, I plugged in "Barrie", Ontario and "Fort Myers" Florida to Mapquest.
Imagine that---its only 1504 miles one way!!!
That really peeves me. I coulda drove to Don's house, seen some really neat "Works in progress", met his sons, had a beer with Don, and drove back for the same price, less mileage, more fun, and seen some real hotrods.----Brian

I bet the weather would have been nicer too Brian!
I know what you mean though. It would be cool to meet him and see some of the work he and his sons have done and are doing. Lots of great folks on this site. Maybe we should start a Clubhotrod car show, and move it around the country/continent so folks could get together and see everyones ride, not to mention have a beer or two! Aside from arguing politics and what a rat rod is, I think it would be a blast!

Iam with you Stovens that would be cool . I got to talk with DA34GUY yesterday and that Guy is unreal just to talk too . If you ever get a chance to just talk to him I highly reccommend it.

I would love to meet you in person Brian, as well as lots of others on here. I have gotten to meet a few already like Gastrick, Hotroddaddy, JRobinson, and a few more. Each one is as nice or nicer than we know them to be on here. Turkey Run has taken on a whole new importance because of looking forward to seeing them again. Next time Brian just keep the steering wheel straight!

However, there is this one guy named Brad who sneaks in and leaves notes on your seat but then splits and goes home immediately.

Brian, the next time head south. I too look forward some day to meet Don and he's sons...........if he would stay around his T.........LOL
I drove 15 hours to see him and the T.
Call me and I will ride with you to the Turkey Run.

I try to make it a point when I travel to meet up with local forum members. A couple of years ago,I met Stu-cool and Califgirrl,had dinner and checked out a local car gathering. Tried to get together with Scooter while in Spokane,but that didn't work out. Makes a trip much more memorable,and I recommend it to anybody to do the same. Too bad I don't have any family to visit in Florida,then maybe I could check out Don and sons too! Hank
