Norcross,Ga Sept 6th

[Green67Alpine]

Hey Folks,
Labor Day is just around the corner and the weekend after that is the British Car Fayre in Old Town Norcross. Everyone in the area is invited to come out and join in, our Sunbeam numbers have been growing slowly but steadily for a few years now, we all know there's quite a few Sunbeams in this area (the Southeast) so why not fire 'em up dust 'em off and come on down to Norcross ? After the show we're heading back the the ranch (5 miles) for some BBQ and Sunbeam fellowship.

I'll be there.

About 15 Tigers will be examined at the show for authenticity. Folks are driving, trailering, and just getting them there from all over for the first "TAC" certification in our area.

Two senior inspectors are flying in from the West coast and will be joined by myself, Bill Bulpit, John Kennealy and Pat Deschner.

Hopefully the organizers will honor our relatively small space this year and not turn a blind eye to other marques poaching.

This has evolved into a sizable show and otherwise seems well run.

I'm planning to be there, but likely will be on my motorcycle as my pine is still under construction....


Down with the poachers! I'll bring some goons lol...

 

[Green67Alpine]

I hope the pre registration reflects the Tiger showing.

Let's hope so. Owners have been encouraged to pre-register. Alpines plus the Tigers could add to a good number of Sunbeams.

 

[Green67Alpine]

About a week to go, 10 Tigers pre-registered, with from what I'm told 2-3 on trailers plus another 5 or so Alpines, if the Hillmans show up we'll have about the magic number of 20 Sunbeams.
Come on over join in.

Steve, your car will be there in more than spirit. It'll be there in former engine and transmission.

Anyone going to be there when it starts? I will go to the show and then onto the pull apart that's on Buford highway to get some steering wheel assembly electrical connectors, seats, and other stuff too.

I'll be there around 8:00.

Are you showing your car? If so good luck. My vote can be bought btw....
If I remember correctly it opens at 10, I wouldn't mind getting in earlier though.

 

[Green67Alpine]

I will also be there most likely around 9

Planning to be there....

I've pre registered.

Now to get there,

 

[Alpine66]

Ugh my reply went poof.

Weather still looks good and I'm still on for 9ish. Think it will be a good time.

I look forward to seeing anyone from the forum there, know what Dan and Greggers look like but for the rest of you I'm just going to hold a big sign with SAOCA on it....

 

[Alpine66]

Thanks for the great PIC's.

Sorry I missed you! I Pre-registered and thought they would have a place for me even thought I was a bit later than planned getting there. Lots of heavy traffic around the area.

Saw a lot of great cars ( Mostly Sunbeams)

My thanks to Tom J and wife for and enjoyable afternoon at their place. Best Ribs I've had in a while.

Met All the Wonderful people at the Johnson's.

Had an uneventful trip to the Big City (near by). My Commodore Blue ran great the entire trip. Enjoyed the A/C especially later during the day when it was a bit too hot for the HardTop.

When I departed TJ's it was not long before I ran into a heavy down pour. Only one small leak around the fresh air intake drivers side. Stopped several times for refreshments and made it home in the three hours allotted for driving.

My best of wishes to all,

 

[Green67Alpine]

Good time was had by all (I hope), personally have never seen so many tigers together, wonder why those folks don't come out and join in with the rest of us ? Oh well all you can do is send out an invite.

On another note, HUGE THANKS to SDPace and greggers who after some plying with BBQ and beverages(not really,they were determined) got down and dirty and re-tuned my car, she's running really well now.Again THANKS.

Tom, you'd be surprised by what I'd do for some good BBQ.

I'm glad we could help get you back humming along on all four cylinders. And here's hoping that the tweaking/sweetening process goes swimmingly well.
