Thanks Dave.

That's only 4 hours away, but my Challenger is in a state of disassembly right now.

Dave, you were so quick with the answer! Have you been talking to Steve again? Jon, just come to see the cars. Also, there will be many vendors and swappers there if you need parts. I'll be doing some shopping myself.

Sound really cool but don't have anyone lined up to go with me. Please sent pictures if you aren't too busy having fun.

Next year now for sure. It's on the calender. :thumbsup:

The magic of Google Jack. :wink:

I hope that one day I will make it to that or the Spring Fling. I would love to explore that area of the US.

Not before you get your Geordie arse to Dublin your not!! :mrgreen:

RR, Dave can always get to Dublin but if he has an opportunity to get here first, don't begrudge him the chance. Sorry, but I didn't have a camera in the car. There should be photos available of a hand-made one-of-two Swiss mid-engined 426 Hemi car that was at the show. I'll post them when I get my hands on them.

by **Eddie** » 11 Nov 2007 12:50

I would love to see that Swiss car! Mid engined like the McKee Special that was used for RoadRacing? :thumbsup:

That part of the U.S. is the most beautiful! :thumbsup:

Me too!

Hey Jack is that your car in the photo? What's the ribbbon on the hood for? :wink:

by **JackT** » 12 Nov 2007 18:06

Yes, that is my car Jon. The ribbon was hung on it by one of the CPW members at the show - a surprise to me when I got to my car. I think they give out fifty of them to the nicest cars there. The Fall Fling is an exhibition, not a judged show like the Spring Fling, so it is as close to a trophy as we get. Did you see Troy Bray's fully restored brown T/A behind my car? It is NICE!!!

by **Eddie** » 12 Nov 2007 18:11

Sweet Shaker Challenger Jack T, love the colour!! The ribbon is well deserved! :wink:

by **dave-r** » 12 Nov 2007 20:53

I loved Jacks old Challenger but I have liked this one even more since he first showed it to us. Fantastic car. :thumbsup:

by **Eddie** » 12 Nov 2007 20:56

I wonder if that colour is rare among 1970 R/T's I dont remember seeing any at the Nats this year. I like it! :thumbsup:

by **dave-r** » 12 Nov 2007 21:15

I would say it was very rare.

Very cool thanks Dave. I wondered why I hadn't seen really ANY performance models in that colour! Now I know. Jack's car is very special indeed! :thumbsup:
