Well, dmich2 here. George Coleman and I arrived in Tippy City about 5 minutes after 4 this afternoon. 12 hours for me from Wilmington, almost to the minute and 662 miles. Great cruising in the morning mist. Nice and cool. Then after I met up with George we did great until we hit WVA, and then rain... Not too bad, if your wipers work correctly...grrrrrr. But only lasted about 45 minutes then it was just overcast. Hit Ohio, and about an hour from Dayton the sun came out and it was hot but a wonderful drive.
The Canada crew was already here. Andrew has new roll bar(s) and Mark has 'Sunny', his '64 V6. Chris and Lissa checked in but no 'Pine... cooked clutch. Jack Bacon and Paul got in, 900+ miles. Headed for Ian's. Brad and Dave did a great job on the fried turkey. Cold beer. Scott (prez) met everyone with bags of goodies. Ian did a great job getting the place ready for us. Bill came with the 'bronze bomber', although he tried to torch it. Make a note; whenever you're adjusting the carb and a fuel line is disconnected.......HOOK IT BACK UP BEFORE STARTING !!!!!!! Can you say, extinguisher. Nice wrinkled paint job. I met Doug Jennings for the first time. Steve Kirk, Mr. 1000+ miles, was twisting another beer top, I stopped counting at 6. Mike Phillips was helping everyone with all their, trip issues. I left around 8 PM and Andrew was cussing a generator bolt, but had loads of helpers. All in all, there's probably around 15 Sunbeams here. There were other members, but I had a few cold ones too, I'm tired, bad with names and a full day scheduled for tomorrow. I'll try to let you know about it tomorrow night. I hope I can get Andrew to post some pixs. Looking forward to lots of shop talk. I need some help with Sweet Pea anyway. And there's a lot of parts to gander at.
Til tomorrow.
