Re: British V8 2012
Palestine (by the way, it's pronounced "Pal-uh-steen", not "Pal-uh-styne", like the Middle Eastern country) is "wet" - meaning there are full liquor stores in town. Unfortunately, the closest Hooters is about 90 miles away. I sincerely apologize for not considering the Hooters locations when deciding the event location. I promise not to do it again.....

Re: British V8 2012
Brenda & I reserved a room from May 20th to the 24th.
We are both excited to attend our first BV8 meet! We are not going to let another one pass by. Looking forward to see all the swaps, and Rick's Purple MGB GT :-) Calvin & Brenda We will be attending Triumpest 2011 this year in Big Bear. It will be fun as we will try the auto-X out, among other fun things to do. Maybe I can dial in my rear sway bar better. |

Re: British V8 2012
I just reserved our Suite, 20th through 23rd.
Notice to all, call them to register, and be sure to let them know that you are part of the group. I couldn't register on line as it shows there are no rooms available. The young lady told me that they were sold out because of the British V8 car show. When I told her I was part of that group, she checked with her manager and they took my reservation. See you all in May! |

Re: British V8 2012
Stay tuned for an update on an event planned for Shreveport La. stop over Saturday nite, on way to Palestine. Looks like we will have a WARM-UP gathering and caravan the final 175 miles to Palestine on Sunday. Hotel and plans to be announced soon. Saturday should be a great travel day and we can meet up for a parking lot party. Shrevepot has casinos and other attractions. Local MG'ers will probably drop by also. Stay tuned :)

Re: British V8 2012
I hope to see you all in Palastine ! My Jag has come a long way in the last 6-8 months. All the mechanicals are finished. It is getting painted Monday (Dark Gray Metallic). Now for all the "reassembly" - windows, finish the wiring and interior work. It may not be totally finished by May but I plan on driving it to Palastine anyway. Some of the interior trim might be missing but I can live with that. Wish me luck!

Re: British V8 2012
Is it too early to ask about any of the plans for the meet? Tracks, museums, drives, shop visits, etc.?? Only 5 months ya know.

Re: British V8 2012
I'm wondering too. Only thing I've heard is there's dyno time planned... but that was from a round about source so no idea if it's true.

Re: British V8 2012
One thing we've talked about is blocking out something like 2 hours for the BADASS annual meeting but haven't decided on when. I'm thinking it should be early on, maybe in the first or second day but have no real preference as to whether it is say mid morning, mid afternoon or early evening. Anyone have a preference?
