Carlisle 2010 Trip Report
This was the most stormy Carlisle All-Ford Nationals in my fours years of attendance. But, we didn’t let that get us down. We still had a great time. This year I tried something different with my use of twitter to post pictures and short updates as the show went...
7-up Car Lost in Fire
This year at Carlisle we again saw Nick P. who, while not a member of this site, has joined us the past three years with his ’90 7-up. He informed us that he lost it in a garage fire earlier this year. He mentioned that it was on the...
The New 2011 Mustang V6. 0 to 60 Fast. F to E Slow
I’ve been seeing this commercial every night during the evening news. We usually record the news on our DVR, watch it later in the evening and skip through the commercials. Except for this one. I always stop and watch this in its entirety. Sometimes twice. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh4HE9bNHK4 “Custom vehicles. See...
Five-oh on the five-oh
Late last year I posted that I was almost at 50k miles when I put my car away for the winter. I haven’t driven it much this year but, earlier this month, I went for a ride and thought I would be back well before I hit 50k. It...
TWF Club Sticker
You may or may not have realized that I have been, in a sense, ‘absent’ from this site for a couple of weeks. No forum posts, no blog posts and no tweets. I was away on vacation for 10 days and then I returned to a need to get...
An observation on how new feature car people find TWF.com
The April 2010 issue of Mustang Monthly has an article in the Late Model Corral that mentions this site. It is a very nice mention that provide a good overview of the site. It does state that, at first glance, the site seems oriented toward 1993 cars. But, it’s...
Cruise to Carlisle 2010
Joe over at 5pt0joe.com has put together some details on a cruise down to the 2010 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals on June 3, 2010. He has a page devoted to the topic. Joe and I did the drive together last year and it worked out pretty well. His banner graphic,...
A Large Collection of Scanned Car Brochures
Ron E. emailed me to tell me about a web site which has a very large number of car brochures and other car-related articles, images, wallpaper and other digital material. If you like cars, you’ll find something you like on this site as it covers many years, makes and...
50k miles – not this year
I have been following the discussion in the forums from new member gokstate74 who has 45k on the clock. I mentioned in that thread that I am close to passing 50k on mine. When I filled up on the day I put the car away for the winter I...
2010 Carlisle All-Ford Nationals Registration
Tom G. (noac) yesterday brought my attention to the fact that registration for Carlisle All-Ford Nationals for 2010 is open. I don’t know how long it has been open. I have tried to get to the registration form quite a few times yesterday and today and have experienced a...
