KELMO Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Registered the green coupe, hoping to bring two cars but we will have to see if that works out. Now I had better reserve a hotel room cuz sleeping in a 1200 could be diffficult. It will be interesting to see how this show goes with other brands now attending. 1 Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Chris should make a new award category, call it "Bad Ass Dude Chillin' on the side, Just in Case" and award it to Chopper Jim. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Chopper, are you going to Williams this year? 2 Quote Link to comment
Chopper Jim Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 We'll be there. Truck & empty trailer I hope.

petercscherer Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 with all those datsuns why bring mister 2 It's the only one that runs! Ha! :D 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Your Datsun does not need to run to be in the show from what I understand. We have pushed 1 or 2 cars over the years. Missus Kelmo and I are trying to decide if we will be a vendor again this year. It is a little difficult to be a vendor and enjoy the show. The idea we are kicking around is to have the booth open from 10:00 to 1:00 in order to have time to see all of the cars. Usually we have Hot Wheels and T-shirts and may add some metal art this year. 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 http://imgur.com/Loc2ebs Well fak, guess I will have to spend another 2 years figuring this out. HA! maybe not, guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. Next I will roll over and play dead.....no wait maybe not yet. This oic is from the Williams show 2016. 2 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Be nice to meet some more of the people from Ratsun!!! Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Thinking about doing the BRE event also, I mean if the Keeper can spend 28 hours in a Datsun, well it should be no problem for me to spend uuhh, hhmmm somewhat less hours in a Datsun. I don't math so good. 1 Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 How big is this show? Have been think about flying down again and actually making it to an event this time. 2 Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Typically it runs between 50 to 80 cars. It fills a pretty good stretch of Route 66. The show runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm and after 3:00 they do the raffle and awards. A lot of people from California and Arizona show up and then some from Nevada, Utah, and maybe Colorado...Oh, and the 4 or 5 of us from New Mexico (not really new, not really Mexico) and let's not forget the one guy that actually IS from Mexico that shows up every year. Hell, RickRat even showed up once. Roadsters, Dimes, and Z's make up the primary attendance but there is always something cool that you don't get to see every day....had a Kenmari and a GT Skyline show up last year and I think a Sylvia (?) the year before. The truck attendance has been growing also. 1200's, 411's, B210's creep in every here and there too. I have been to every show since this started and have had a great time at all of them. EDIT: You said you were thinking about flying down for this. Commercial or General Aviation? 3 Quote Link to comment
