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[9:31:27 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

MMRJR[7:33:58 PM]: Wow!
GTO Man[9:34:10 PM]: What is in Juneau

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?

[/spoiler:fe8138b3ca]

[circletrack]

I missed it this week due to being out and then the storms! Hopefully next time is better!

I did see a question about Pardeeville ~ it’s held in Chandler Park and is one of the nicer shows around. The first year they had around 100 cars and last year well over 200! This year we anticipate it being even better. It’s a beautiful park with lots of tree and shading. Nice door prizes and awards.

[Garibaldi]

Sorry missed it! I saw that you had come on after everyone had logged off. The weather is a pain, even for “virtual” shows! :doh:
