Yeah, it was tough (about an hours worth of work and minor disassembly of the inside latch) but I managed to squeeze them in there. I won't be doing that again though.

I didn't get to meet Paul. I found his Mustang on the field Saturday, which looks great by the way. I was actually heading to my car Sunday and spotted him leaving. Sorry to miss you.

I was wondering what was going on with the parking. Last time I went in '04, we had plenty of space and this time there wasn't. I thought it was weird. Was it like that last year?

Either way, next year marking the 40th anny of the Cougar and if there is anything special for us in Carlisle, we should have some great spots. I should certainly have the car finished (motor and paint) by then.

I want to thank you all too for the support and ideas for my motor problem and solution.

I had to swing through your area and was quite impressed with Cougars2Go cars.

However, I was disappointed with the swap meet as I was digging for the MOtorsport Grille (the 'cool' one) and came up dry. Although, I did see my old Lightning there for sale in the for sale section.

How in the heck did Karl get all 3 cars down there anyhow?

I didn't get a lot of cougar or t-bird pics, but I got some. I did manage to get some of a SWEET '83 TurboCoupe that is for sale. The owner's name and # are in one of the pics. The car needs a good home.

My wife has found she has a penchant for mid to late '50's luxo-barges. Here's one she really liked. 5.0 HO mass air AOD. Kinda makes it real easy to work on too.

Thanks for the compliments folks

I drove one, my wife (Debbie) drove one, and
4thqtr (Andrew) drove one. I've got to put it out there that Andrew was a huge help the whole weekend driving one of my cats and hanging in there on little sleep.

That was my first time entering a car into Carlisle and I did it with three "feet." Having to keep three cars clean for three 120-mile round-trips in the rain was quite the challenge. Again, thanks to Andrew and Debbie, I was able to get all three clean and set up by 11, 11:30 or so Saturday morning.

Will and Les' cars looked like they weren't even rained on before they even touched them.

Great photos too guys!

Here is one I have from Saturday night where Zach, Andrew and I took care of some things on Zach's car in my garage. We made it to bed around 2am :crazy:

Yup.
The red and blue started last year and I'm sure it will be an attraction for a long time.

We shot video from our vantage point but haven't posted it yet:

wow that pic is awesome with the storm in the background. Did you get any more shots of your full car with the clouds in the back. Ha that'd be a bad ass wallpaper.
