Mini rally. sept 11th at cabelas. its support the troops/familes of troops at 10am. anyone want to meet there?

 

[Rivrdog]

Cabelas, eh? This hobby isn't spendy enuff, we have to meet at CABELA'S, where I can never get out for less than a couple Benji's!

If my M35A2 makes it here to Portland from Gene Maccus in time, I will probably bash it up there. When I was a grease monkey in the OR Air Nasty Guard, I drove many a vehicle, including a few M35s up I-5 to the Defense Disposal Area on Ft. Lewis.

I will defiantly be there

I went last year, we have an event this weekend the 4th & 5th, the Vintage Aircraft Weekend at Paine Field, Everett. I'll see if Jane wants to do something two weekends in a row.

Still nada from the trucker's board in Speedy City. Will keep everyone informed when and if someone picks up the M35 as a load. chances are, it'll wind up in the Seattle area anyway, there's a ton more traffic thru Speedy for Seattle than there is for Portland. If it comes into Seattle, I just store it up there until the 11th.

Scott,

Talked to about a dozen hot rod people in the last three weeks, all of which had issues with local MV Collectors crashing their shows and none had anything good to say about the invaders. If you want to play army truck so bad why don't you enlist? The MVPA shows are for just this sort of thing, as well as the little get togethers. Car shows are for the cars. Reserves are paying good money for people with your enthusiasm.

Medically i can't join any branch of the military. I've tried. Im supporting the troops. I see no difference in restoring a classic MV and restoring a classic car. both are vehicles with different backgrounds.

 

[Ronin Warrior]

Don't thinkyour getting it?

 

[srodocker]

Not really. I've only mentioned the idea of doing a car show at the beginning of the thread to start brain storming more ideas. the current idea of the thread is doing a support the troop/families of troops at cabelas on the 11th.

**** Scott,
I don't think I'll be making this one if it's on the 11th. Don't get me wrong, I would love to. But, We just got back from a camping trip on the 1st, heading to eastern Oregon on the 3rd for a family visit, comming back from there on the 6th. Another mini-camping trip to Long Beach, WA from the 16th through the 19th. If we happen to have the funds, and are not too burned out, we might try to drive to Lacey and join everybody at Cabella's if that's what we are going to call our official "mini-rally". I would really much rather it be like October, but that's just me.

On a side note, where in Gresham are you at Rivrdog? The wife and I live in Troutdale, off of Kane and Stark. We are neighbors. If you need help with retrieval (extra driver, mechanic help, somebody to keep you awake) feel free to let me know.

Mike

Ronin Warrior, joining up won't help the urge of playing army truck. Believe me I know If anything, it has fueled the fire even more.

Scott don't worry about that guy. Those car show guys are just a bunch on snobs anyway.

heh thats kurt. when i took my truck to the steilacoom summerfest 10' carshow the car club who ran it gave me fliers for the next 2 or 3 carshows throughout the summer and told me to bring it

 

[fuzzytoaster]

Car shows here in Texas actively seek out MV's. I know it because my neighbor (relatively) nofearnohope was invited to the local car show with his deuce. The army came out and they did a little show if im correct. MV's are just meaty cars.

 

[Stalwart]

I was un-invited to a car show this year, they wanted my tank and my '09 GT500KR last year but they didn't want my M977.

When we took our British armour to a All British Field Meet, the car owners were ****ty to us, the crowds loved seeing the armor.
