The BritishV8 Pub

You don't have to drive your MG/Jag/Healey/Triumph to have fun at the meet... A Toyota minivan works good as a tech support vehicle.

I don't have a V8 British car, just a pile of parts. Would anyone be offended if I were to come on Tuesday afternoon to look and ask questions?
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,
Offended? Certainly not.
Everyone is welcome and your interest is appreciated.

Latest update on my TR6: together and test driven. Good to go.
The story is, I had a new ring and pinion put in late last year. Upon further inspection recently, I wasn't happy with the amount of pinion preload that was there so I had it redone. Now I can sleep at night.
On the road tommorrow for two nights in Nashville, TN. before Omaha.

Dennis: No one will be offended... but if you only come for one afternoon you'll definitely leave wondering why you didn't come for the whole meet. Seriously. Put the rest of your life on hold. It's worth it!

Ken: That's fantastic news!

Rob & PJ, definitely gonna miss you guys!

Leaving early Friday morning for two days of drag racing in Cordova IL Let's hope I do better then I did on the way to our Duram NC event. See everyone Sunday PM.

Best Wishes Dale! look forward to seeing your ride and workmanship.

Dennis,
We would be offended if you didn't come. Be sure to bring a camera and lots of SD cards (or film). You can gain a lot of knowledge from the cars that are there.

SAFETY FASTER!

Thanks for the encouragement. I will come for a look - and bring a notepad.
Thanks,
Dennis

My name is Doug Brown and I live in South Dakota

Being new to this get together I guess I screwed it up!! Didn't understand the registration thing!!!

I do have a room for Sunday night - Monday I'm on a waiting list!

I can only visit for Sunday night, Monday, and Tuesday. When you own, time away can be very expensive!!

I hope that I can participate, though I don't really need to race!! I'm looking forward to meeting the many people I feel I know through this Forum.

I may be able to help many of you when it comes to various forms of metal finishing including powder coating and plating.

Though I'm not officially registered (my fault) I can't wait to tip a few scotch's, light up a good cigar, and talk about building MG hotrods!!

You'll see me - the one wondering around like an idiot

There will be times, as the evening tire kicking and social hour kicks into effect in the hotel parking lot, that a lot of us come across as idiots...you'll fit right in!

Doug...you can register for the event when you arrive at the hotel in Omaha.

Look up Bill Young....or any of the rest of us and we'll get you taken care of post haste!

A group of seven of us (Pete Mantell, Alex Mantell, Graham Creswick, Peter Smith, Dave Kirkman, Mike Moor, and me) will be caravaning to St.Joe, MO on Saturday...then up to Omaha on Sunday with the rest of the Spurious @#$%& who have decided to "play" at the "pre-ignition party" on Saturday.

Most of us will be departing on Thursday morning.

They say it takes one to know one, but I don't believe that. I say if you are one, you won't recognize that quality in another - they will look normal to you.

I'm beginning to worry - you guys all seem normal to me!

Have a great time all, I wish I could be there with you.

Last minute repairs.....oil leak.

Car on lift and diagnosed this evening.

Fix is on tomorrow.

I don't see it; where's the leak?

Rick,
You have a "garage" to die for, good luck with the leak and safe travels.

You call that a leak?! I guess I'll leave my beater, leaker at home.

Wonder if we will be able to meet up with you guys? I think we plan to leave sometime Saturday morning...

Jim

Jim,
We are leaving St Jo/Sidney IL around 8am. Then I-74, I-72, US 36 to St J MO.
You are welcome to join us if the timing is right.

Cheers
Pete
