Nationals in the Books
Hello, I hope that all of your have made it home safe, or are almost home safe. ?It was great to see you all again. ?As stated at the end of the ceremony, I am actively collecting VIN's again and updating information. So if you find new cars and owners, let me know. ?I am also going to remove Jon's contact information from the website and add my own unless one of you wants to be the 'contact person' for inquires.? I know we do have at least one new member, Clark Forte, who owns a 68 Fairlane 500 Four Door. ? Once he posts for the first time, let give him a warm welcome. -- ============================================================ I am Linc..... What more could you possibly need to know? ============================================================ |
开云体育I got back home yesterday, no
problems.? Now I get to dive into editing the 900+ photos I took
while I was there.? Give me a few days before I can post our group
photo from after the awards ceremony.

Fortunately, traffic all backed off as I tried to get things back under control.? Once I was able to scrub off enough speed, I was able to get things straightened out.? It still didn’t feel right, so I took the next exit to check everything out. ? Yep, I still had 3 wheels out of four… One had departed company – hub and all.? ? I managed to limp to the next exit, where I could at least find a parking lot with some space in it. ? Fortunately, Cy Schmidt came to my rescue.? After driving all the way to Cincinnati, he dropped off his car from his trailer and doubled back up I-75 to help me with my predicament.?? My eternal gratitude for his help yesterday.? He wound up trailering my car all the way to my house while I limped home on 3 wheels. ? Thanks again for the rescue! ? We are already looking forward to next year! ? Carl and Patti Sharp ?

开云体育Well that definitely sounds exciting and not something that I want to participate in. Glad you guys made it safe and you had a rescuer at your ready. Sorry I didn't get to chat with you I didn't even see you even though I knew you were there. Hopefully we can catch up next time.

Linc, it was like old times having you at the Nats and getting your follow-up email to the registry. Glad to hear you are going to keep it current. Carl, your incident with the trailer really sounded scary, glad everyone and the car were OK. Reminds me that I need to.pull the wheels on mine and check things out. I am using it tomorrow to move house hold goods as we are moving to Washington Pa in the next month?or so Jay On Mon, Jul 1, 2024, 6:19?PM Linc via <linc=[email protected]> wrote:
