Hummmm.......we should be able to sneak you in but call me tomorrow (my number is in one of my classified ads) and I'll make sure.

That info may be posted on the MVPA website but I didn't read it either.
Just tried the MVPA site for info...found it in "Upcoming Events" but could not navigate the site...it's either down, absolutely worthless...like another MVPA site:)whistle:), OR...I'm a friggin idiot!!

Er...wait...don't comment on that! :roll:

Friday 29 June

Looks like Vendors get early access Thurs-Saturday; everybody else gets in at 8AM. But I could be wrong. It has been known to happen. :cool:

The convention will be open to non-MVPA members on Saturday only, $8.00 at the door.
Questions:

1. Will they have a member list handy, as I am not sure where my membership card is (I am current).

2. I assume clintogf and my Father (non-MVPA members) will be due the $8......... they aren't counted with me I assume.......... (always have to ask).


Gracias!

Somehow Dad forgot this weekend was the convention and now has commitments he can't break.

So clintogf and I will be leaving home around 4:30/5am and hope to be there around 9am.

See everybody there!

More vehicles and vendors moved in today including a SCUD missile launcher.

Elmo and Ellie Mae were reunited (Elmo pulled guard duty in the M927 last night) and are shacking up in the center tonight.

There are some colorful characters here.

Here are some pics,

Convention center is very nice , very COLD , as it was over 100 today !
Temps are expected to bust 100 for the next few days.

We are hoping for a big civilain crowd Saturday (the only day open to the public).

I did an interview with a local TV station today (channel 31 I think) and I stressed that it would be a cool place to spend the day with the family looking at vintage military vehicles.

I was poking along the tables at the show when I spotted a couple of 'possums on one of them. Finally have a face to put with the Wreckerman name! A pleasure meeting you sir, and getting to chat with some of the folks I have met at previous shows.
Good fun so far, and it's just Day 1. ;-)

Cheers

ELMO HAS GONE MISSING,
Not sure if Elmo thought the GIMPESTER was going to show up, on maybe being held for RANSOM, WM is VERY, VERY UP SET, he accosted me first thing this morning when I got there, told me I look GUILTY, said it would have to be a low down no good rat (sorry ment possum) snatcher, and that I was the FIRST of a very select few that fit that description.,

No I do not take Elmo, never thought a possum could mean so much to someone, maybe Elmo is more than a every day possum, more like a STRESS RELEIF possum

When I left about 11:00 hrs, WN was walking around muttering something about LOCKING DOWN the whole place, so a search could be done.
