Well, I actually made it to Carlisle and the car is in one piece. We rolled into there around 6:00 PM and had an hour to detail the car after the 300+ mile trip before they kicked us out at 7:00 PM in order to close the building. Road...

I keep getting a trickle of people expressing a desire to join us. Some are previously registered and only recently became aware of what is happening with the “feature” cars. This is very good and I try to keep the people in-the-know at Carlisle aware of this. I email...

For a long while, the list of people attending Carlisle has remained steady at 11. Since the beginning I knew that one of those cars was going to be indoors. Recently, I mentioned that now 2 more of them will be indoors. They are mine as well as the...

In my last post on Carlisle, I mentioned that only two of the four cars for the indoor display had been confirmed. It now looks like all four cars are in place. The scheduling conflict with the owner of the 1992 Vibrant Red cleared and he can now bring...

Things are going well with the organization of the reunion. We had our first 7-up car confirm. This is thanks in large part due to an email that was just printed in the March 2007 issue of Mustang Times: Dear Mustang Times, I saw the news item in the...

I have been in contact with Steve Cracknell who runs the 1990 7-up car registry and web site. It’s the second time I’ve emailed him. The first was after both of our web sites were mentioned in Mustang Monthly back in April 2004. He’s from Canada so Carlisle, PA...

I just received the latest MCA’s Mustang Times (February 2007) and it has a news item on the Carlisle All Ford Nationals which specifically mentions their plans to display feature cars at this June 1-3, 2007 event. The news item states: …they plan a special display of Mustang Convertible...

I would love to have a trailer for my car. Especially, to take it to the reunion next June. The only thing I worry about for that event is having to drive my car in the rain. My car has only been in the rain twice since I have...
