I understand I am right with you spending 9-10 bucks a gallon ---- it's like a Prostate exam every time I fill up!!

 

[PatrickStapler]

General joke with the vintage guys...we spend more money to go slower.

 

[PatrickStapler]

It makes me happy to see all you guys in the B2’s and 350’s out there beating on them instead of keeping them in plastic bubbles in the garage. Especially you Bill with car #18. Wow that’s a low number.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Spending more money to go slower is kind of you , because it gives so many of us more time to watch those vintage beauties go by, to reminisce and allow us to listen to those glorious sounds coming out of that Hi-Po 289 songstress!

@TMSBOSS will be less anxious about parking next to me in the paddock now. I primed my hooptie trailer this weekend. I might even have time to paint it before Heartland.





I finished this side tonight.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Much better. Hope the trailer come out as well as the DIY project you put in it!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Heh, don't be intimidated by TMS, I also have a Hooptie trailer compared to his!! I guess I will have to park far away from you now, as your Hooptie will be looking fine and mine is more of a Pooptie now!

 

[TMSBOSS]

Bill. His car is the DIY project mentioned and it’s gorgeous. Before and after pics show some real talent and attention to detail. The challenge will be meeting his own standards. Should be great when he is finished.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Oh, I know his car is gorgeous , I have told him so, just joking about his Trailer reference, as my trailer is a hooptie compared to yours too, ha. I think your read the thread too fast ( you are getting really quick in your two trackcars so it must be carrying over ) because both of us are just commenting on our trailers. His Mustang is my ERA and too die for with many of us Motorheads in our 60s !!

 

[PatrickStapler]

You guys are hilarious. I am very doubtful the trailer will mimic the car. It was more a matter of satisfying my wife ...@TMSBoss you have met her...

I will say sleeping in the trailer was her idea not mine, but as soon as I agreed to it, the list came out....

 

[TMSBOSS]

No comment on satisfying your wife. That' s your job. May the force be with you.

 

[PatrickStapler]

Got some color on it yesterday. Had hoped to finish it today, but woke up to 15MPH winds and thunderstorms headed our way this afternoon.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Spray from up wind. LOL

Looking better already.

 

[PatrickStapler]

LOL. The neighbors already complained I got paint on their car. Really, 50 yards away...and oh by the way, you weren’t home when I started spraying...I checked before I started because I anticipated it. The conversation stopped there. .

 

[TMSBOSS]

Nice neighbors. Send the Mrs. over to smooth things over.

 

[PatrickStapler]

....right???

 

[Bill Pemberton]

How many cans of Krylon have you used by now??

 

[PatrickStapler]

LOL...half gallon so far.

LOL...half gallon so far.

Krylon? I was thinking Sherman Williams with one of those fancy special auto application rollers! You gonna pimp the trailer out with 24's?

 

[PatrickStapler]

Heck no...I just bought new tires for it last year.
