Hi Franklin,
I'll be bringing the Porsche Bus. I think a few of us will be coming down Sat morning and staying the night.

Anyone know if this is inside like Puyallup or outside? Brrrrrrrrr :huh:

Either way I'm going but it sure was nice to stand by the heaters in the barn and warm up before the next run thru the swap.

Geoff and everyone else,
Glad to hear all you are coming down. We are hoping for a great show and a great day. Let us know when you get in town on Saturday and maybe we can get together saturday night for a pre show party. :D

Directions to Titlow:
I-5 South to Hwy 16 West (in Tacoma), take the 6th exit off Hwy 16, turn left off the exit, follow 6th till you see the park on the right, can't miss it.

See everyone at the show.

Oh yeah, it will be an outside show. Rain or Shine! :D

And, yes there will be a swap area.

Geoff,
Franklin wants to know if you have that stuff in that Franklin ordered, if so can you bring it all down with you. Franklin is going to try and bring the POS to the show so that people can see it. It won't be running however. He is still waiting on some parts and has some more fabrication to do on it.

The show was excellent! Nice setting, live music, decent swap, and they had to close the show area by about 10 am as there was no more space! I was pleasantly surprised. Nice end of season gig.

The show was awsome. We had a better turnout than we had expected. We just wanted to say thanks to all you guys that came down for showing up. We hope that you all had a good time. As soon as I have some pictures available to me I will get them posted. Keep an eye out on our forum for some pictures as well.

It was a great show, Very nice location overlooking the inlet with live music and a large turn out. I wish we didnt have to leave so early but it was still worth the drive.
