Thread: Road trip to L A R S

Tweet

The kick-off BBQ for the 4th Annual Great Greybeard Adventure will be this Saturday here @ my place in OK.
Cars from N.C. , Alabama, Kentucky, Florida, Texas, Kansas (Roger Spears) and Oklahoma,( even had 2 rodders from downunder fly to Orlando FL so they could ride across country with us) will all meet here to stuff their faces with BBQ, then Sunday morning it's headed west to the 50th L.A. Roadster Show. Will be meeting many more goin across the U.S. as there are many tours going this year.
The fun begins !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don, gotta say that I'm still a little apprehensive about heading out on a trip of this distance, having never ventured more than 300 to 400 miles out & back in the past, but with 9,000 miles on the clock it should be OK . I figure that there's safety in numbers, but also know how frustrating it can be for a group to sit & wait for somebody else's problem to get worked out and I don't want to be the source of that kind of frustration.

People who worry get ulcers !
Look @ it as 3 or 4 of your 400 miles trips.
All goin are gearheads and builders (Not zip code gold chainers)
We've had problems in the past and just deal with it.
No big thing to any of us.
See ya Saturday

It'sa sweet lookin' ride Mr. Spears!

Enjoy the ride!


(ps.. don't forget your camera!)

Looks good Rog, it'll look better with bugs spattered all over the front.
Got plenty of clean up stuff here for all, that's usually the drill b4 we chow down.

I'm so envious of you guys and I'm the type who if lived in the LA region would leave a week or two early to drive out east just to meet up with you all and take part of the trip back to LA. Please all drive safely and have heaps of fun and , as mentioned, please heaps of photo's and commentary of your trip. The light blue '34 Roadster is just so right on all levels of the Hot Rod ladder, it is perfection.

looking forward to following this as well- I wish you all the best for out on the road!

.

Thanx for all the support guys.
Some are already on the road, 2 from Florida with the Aussies deceided to drive up to North Carolina and hook up with my buddy Jeff and his wife Tad, they spent yesterday there and are now runnin thru the Blue Ridge Mountians and takin their time 2 hook up with another buddy from Kentucky in Memphis Tn Friday @ noon, then Boogie to OK for the BBQ on Saturday.
Others are leaving 2morrow from Alabama and elsewhere.
And I'm just sittin here waitin for the new 34 to be delivered.

I'll drink to that.. camera's a must.. That's a kool trip you guys are doing..Hope it all goes well for ya..Shiney side up,guys..Have fun.. Will be thinkin of ya,,while we work hard..... hehehe..
I believe the place is crawling with Aussies,and Kiwis now,, might have to join them in a year or three..

You guys drive safe and have fun. It sure would be a great time!

Roger, don't sweat the drive. You will never find a better bunch of motor heads to ride with. Breakdowns happen and all pitch in, some with help, some with advice, and some with wisecracks. Great Bunch! So hit the go pedal and start the Hot Rod Grin. It is a great ride.

Ray, Ya gonna meet us @ the RT 66 Casino Monday morning?

Roger or any of you road warrior's when you get to the LARS if you have time give me a call would love to meet some of you guys.. 530 391-6272 We are headed down Thur the 12th and will be at the So-Cal open house on Friday and then to Waldens later in the day.. LA Roadsters said something about having a Coupe display somewhere on the grounds Sat. so my car may be in that...

And Roger don't worry about breaking down, if you've got that many miles on it she's good to go... and like my friend Phill whetstone always says "if nothing happen's you'll have nothing to talk about"..
