If anyone wants PCCA shirts, I plan on bringing all the shirts I have with me to Sonoma and FFF.
I currently have:
Blue Polos - Small X 2, Medium X 3, Large X 4, X Large x1
Black polo - Large x 1
These all have the embroidered logos on the front

I also have T-shirts, which I have not set up in the store yet.
I had to order a few to check the quality before I start selling them.
Men's and Women's T-shirts with the logo digitally printed, small in front like the polo and large, centered on the back of the shirt. They all look great!

I have right now 1 each of:
Mens Large in Royal Blue, Navy, Grey, Black and Cream and 1 each of Womens Medium in Pale Yellow and Sky Blue.

I need to get these up in the store, maybe this week.

It figueres.....i got myself into a legal bind. Assault charge with unlawfully in a dwelling house charge last week from over a year and a half ago. Police said i have their permission to leave the country....BUT ....American customs could send me back across and the boarders BECAUSE the charge shows on their systems......o h, my life is never dull.

Got the new rings in!! Didn't see any smoke and drove it for 100 miles. Checked the oil, and it didn't drink a drop. Yay! Finally not clouding the California skies anymore. Performance is much better too. I think the drive to Knotts should be no problem now.

There will be NO rain.  The temp will be 72 with a gentle easterly breeze and low humidity. Blue skys with the occasional cloud floating overhead. Excellent natural light for perfect photo opportunities and a relaxed atmosphere that eliminates the need to run for or manufactue shade and consume massive quantities of liquids!
In other words; it will be great!!!

Now as long as those "partly cloudy" skies don't decide to shed some moisture we should be good !

The rebuild passed the test today.  Drove the car over 2 hours with no issues.  It will make the 20 minute trip back and forth to the show.  I would like to join in some of the other activities, but my event coordinator has me booked already.

See everyone there at the show.

I would not bother bringing it.  They do enforce it at this show.  The wind does pick up in the early afternoon.  Saw a few larger umbrellas go flying last year and do some damage.

SRT,

I live in HB just down Beach Blvd from the show.  After my freeway trip today, I almost wish I lived further.  Had it at in excess of 65 with no issues and a lot more in reserve.   

This is the most complete the car has been in years and it is still not done.


See everyone at Carrows for Breakfast.

Yeah,

I'll leave the canopy home. There isn't a lot of room in a Runabout as it is with suitcases and tools that I will have with me just in case. This is gonna be a blast!

ON the canopy/ umbrella thing! Last year everyone told me not to bring one so I didn't! BAKED the whole day out in the hot sun. AND there where several umbrellas and such up at other peoples cars! This year I am bringing my umbrella and its stand and somehting to tie it to the bumper of the car! If they tell me to take it down I will, if not, I will sit under it! I would rather have it and get told to take it down, then to not have it and bake!!  ;D
