GTO Man[9:20:23 PM]: How was the show last year
You have received a private message. If it does not open in a new window automatically, [Click Here]
MMRJR[7:21:33 PM]: I thought it was outstanding, with lots of nice cars, good location, and competent judging, but remember, I was just a beginner last year, so what would I have known
montefrazer[7:21:35 PM]: Big concours type show in Milwaukee this weekend, but the weather forecast doesn’t look good.
GTO Man[9:21:48 PM]: THere isn’t a whole lot of info on the Spring Green show ye
GTO Man[9:22:13 PM]: That show in Milwaukee sounds good, Governor’s show I believe
MMRJR[7:22:30 PM]: Roger that, if the weather does turn bad, none of us will be showing our cars on Saturday, and Sunday might be questionable
montefrazer[7:23:21 PM]: Yes, lots of True Classic and rare, seldom seen stuff.
GTO Man[9:23:30 PM]: What is the forecast for Saturday
MMRJR[7:23:40 PM]: Let me ask my question again. I heard about the Amato Ford Show in Mukwonago coming up in a couple of weeks, and I went ahead and pre registered.
GTO Man[9:23:48 PM]: Monte, is that on the lakefront
GTO Man[9:24:06 PM]: Is that an all Ford show
MMRJR[7:24:26 PM]: Saturday calls for isolated/scattered thundershowers, early and through mid day
GTO Man[9:24:37 PM]: I see Ford is going to offer buyouts to all their blue collar workers
montefrazer[7:24:43 PM]: Yes. Vetrans Park if I remember right.
MMRJR[7:25:17 PM]: The Mukwonago show is not all ford, but is heavily slanted towards ford powered cars, with 3 different classes for Thunderbirds
LeMansLady Has entered the room
montefrazer[7:25:49 PM]: Ford and Gm have to do something besides getting rid of workers.
montefrazer[7:26:06 PM]: Hi
MMRJR[7:26:09 PM]: GTO Man, & Big Block, would you guys be interested in this show if we cruised down together?
Garibaldi[7:26:23 PM]: welcome LeMansLady!
LeMansLady[7:26:40 PM]: thanks!!
GTO Man[9:26:51 PM]: Sure, what day is it, is it on the calendar
MMRJR[7:26:46 PM]: Hello Lemans lady
LeMansLady[7:27:15 PM]: Hi MMRJR. How are you tonight?
Garibaldi[7:27:27 PM]: I’m concerned about the weather but all we can do is wait and see
GTO Man[9:27:38 PM]: Sometimes its hard to keep up with all the conversations
MMRJR[7:27:45 PM]: Let Me check, I think it is the weekend of ???
GTO Man[9:28:07 PM]: Monte, you are right about Ford and GM
Garibaldi[7:28:57 PM]: If it gets too crowded in here we have two other rooms too, just right click on the “Go To Room List” and open it in a new window
Garibaldi[7:29:01 PM]: you can chat in two places at once
MMRJR[7:29:02 PM]: Sorry, I accidently logged myself out for a moment or two
GTO Man[9:29:16 PM]: Lokks like it is the 16th, that could work out fine
montefrazer[7:29:24 PM]: Been in their position but had no choice about leaving.
montefrazer[7:30:01 PM]: I have enough trouble keeping track of ONE room.
MMRJR[7:30:05 PM]: I havent been to this show, but I know Mukwonago and would love to make this drive with some other Ford products
GTO Man[9:30:22 PM]: Ford and GM put themselves in this position, now they must dig themselves out
LeMansLady Has exited the room
Garibaldi[7:30:41 PM]: hopefully they can before it is too late
GTO Man[9:31:03 PM]: MMRJR, I will talk with bigblock, a good show for the Tbird
LeMansLady Has entered the room
Garibaldi[7:31:17 PM]: it would be a lot of fun I think
GTO Man[9:31:27 PM]: Sometimes these rooms are like revolving doors
montefrazer[7:31:31 PM]: They need buy outs at the top, not the bottom.
MMRJR[7:31:48 PM]: Yes,actually a Classic T Bird club from the Milwaukee area is the sponsor of this show
LeMansLady[7:31:53 PM]: I oops & logged myself out too!
MMRJR[7:32:08 PM]: Same here, but I am back in
GTO Man[9:32:24 PM]: Hello LeMansLady, that is easy to do
Garibaldi[7:32:27 PM]: glad to hear it!
montefrazer[7:32:37 PM]: Did that when I first got here.
Garibaldi[7:32:50 PM]: so what show are you going to go to this weekend lemanslady?
GTO Man[9:33:13 PM]: It hasn’t started raining yet here in Madison
GTO Man[9:33:35 PM]: Tornado warning for Sauk County, Monte it may be heading your way
LeMansLady[7:33:36 PM]: I think we are going to Spring Green on Saturday & the Juneau on Sunday. Busy weekend
Garibaldi[7:33:41 PM]: there is a tornado watch now
Garibaldi[7:33:50 PM]: Bodyslide is in the clear though
MMRJR[7:33:58 PM]: Wow!
GTO Man[9:34:10 PM]: What is in Juneau
Garibaldi[7:34:03 PM]: have you had any bad weather there lately?
Garibaldi[7:34:21 PM]: you should be able to hear it on the radio playing
GTO Man[9:34:42 PM]: Bodyslide, where are you located
montefrazer[7:34:45 PM]: There has been a warning here for a while. All along the lake down to Illinois.
Garibaldi[7:34:46 PM]: I hope to go to Spring Green too, it should be fun
Bodyslide[7:34:52 PM]: Yes, I’m alittle South of you guys
Garibaldi[7:35:01 PM]: How far away from Madison is the Juneau show?
LeMansLady[7:35:04 PM]: It’s a shine & show with craft fair & a small town festival type event. No trpohies or anything, but it is a lot of fun.
MMRJR[7:35:15 PM]: Juneau is for Sunday, and it is a non judged show, but with great door prize drawings and prizes.
GTO Man[9:35:40 PM]: MMRJR, is Portage a judged show
montefrazer[7:35:43 PM]: I like those shows.
MMRJR[7:35:43 PM]: What is it about Portage that everyone else is heading for Spring Green?
Garibaldi[7:35:50 PM]: sounds like a fun event for a sunday afternoon
MMRJR[7:35:55 PM]: Yes, Portage is a judged show
GTO Man[9:36:16 PM]: How many cars did they have last year
LeMansLady[7:36:13 PM]: You had to ask – how far – I dunno – I don’t keep track when I have the LeMans on the road!! LOL
GTO Man[9:37:06 PM]: What did people think of Stoughton
montefrazer[7:37:07 PM]: What year LeMans? A friend has a 68 LeMans and is just finishing the restoration.
LeMansLady[7:37:10 PM]: Last year my folks didn’t like the Portage show, but I have never been there so I can’t say anything.
Garibaldi[7:37:11 PM]: I see that its just 50 miles to Juneau, not bad
LeMansLady[7:37:29 PM]: It’s a ’64
Garibaldi[7:37:46 PM]: Monte, her lamans is above, refresh the page if you don’t see it
GTO Man[9:38:26 PM]: MMRJR I don’t see your Mustang up above
MMRJR[7:38:43 PM]: Stoughton wasn’t bad, but they should have told folks that it was basically a Show abd
montefrazer Has exited the room
montefrazer Has entered the room
LeMansLady[7:38:52 PM]: Not too many LeMans around – most everyone prefers the GTO.
montefrazer[7:39:09 PM]: Got it now
GTO Man[9:39:23 PM]: It was a nice setting, just not well organized
GTO Man[9:39:51 PM]: Not much difference between the LeMans and GTO
LeMansLady[7:40:19 PM]: very true!! but everyone makes fun of my car
GTO Man[9:40:30 PM]: Pardeeville is Saturday the 2nd, anyone been there before
MMRJR[7:40:28 PM]: I have to wonder about the real number of GTOs out there that are really LeMans. Just like GT350s that are really fastbback 2+2s
LeMansLady[7:40:32 PM]: they call it a poor man’s GTO!!
GTO Man[9:40:58 PM]: They shouldn’t make fun of it, its a great car
LeMansLady[7:40:54 PM]: It’s not a hard conversion to do….
Garibaldi[7:40:56 PM]: I think you’ve got the hidden treasure with the LeMans
LeMansLady[7:41:14 PM]: Thanks Guys – I think so too!!
Garibaldi[7:41:18 PM]: good point MMRJR, a lot of things aren’t as they seem
MMRJR[7:41:22 PM]: LemansLady, nobody I know makes fun of your car. It is arrest me/resell or retail red, what else could you ask for
montefrazer[7:41:38 PM]: I like Pontiacs. I have a 65 Catalina I ned to do something with.
GTO Man[9:41:46 PM]: Just like Z28’s, more now than originally made
GTO Man[9:42:02 PM]: What does the Catalina have in it
LeMansLady[7:42:29 PM]: Thanks MMRJR! They do give me a hard time though!
montefrazer[7:42:52 PM]: 389 and automatic. Was a 2 barrel but I added a Holley.
LeMansLady[7:42:53 PM]: I love the looks of a ’65 Cat!
MMRJR[7:43:12 PM]: I went to Pardeeville last year and it was a great show. There were some issues with not enough judges, but that will fixed this year
Garibaldi[7:43:14 PM]: How long have you had your Cat monte?
GTO Man[9:43:36 PM]: They are a nice car, I have had a number of Pontiacs
montefrazer[7:43:32 PM]: 65 and 66 are my favorite big Pontiacs.
GTO Man[9:44:07 PM]: Pardeeville will definitely be a go
Garibaldi[7:44:04 PM]: Monte, there’s a guy that I see at almost every show with his Cat – http://www.wiscollectorcar.com/coppermine/cpg132/displayimage.php?album=168&pos=22
montefrazer[7:44:18 PM]: Many years. Would have to think a while to come up with how many.
Garibaldi[7:44:26 PM]: How many cars do they get at Pardeeville?
MMRJR[7:44:33 PM]: My dad was a Pontiac guy, but he was generation ahead of me
GTO Man[9:44:42 PM]: He has over 400 dash plaques on the board in front of the car
