Carlisle

No. It's just that the members don't seem to be interested in attending the show like they used to.

I was there on Saturday, too, and the only other Bradley I saw was probably yours -- a purple GT body with the headlight doors sealed off, no top and a heavy-duty roll cage in the co*kpit. Obviously set up as a race car and not street legal.

I looked for the owner but no one was near the car.

Mine was the ChromaLusion purple GT towing a restored 1962 vintage Blitz F-1000 race kart on a T-tube trailer.

I was there from roughly 12:30 P.M. to 3:30, then got bored and left. WAY too many Cobras, only two MG-TD kits and one original, and only one XKE -- and that sh*thead owner swapped the Jaguar wire wheels for some dumbass mag-style rims. A no-class UGH for sure!

Anyway, Carlisle is still great show, but when the Bradley guys don't come, there's nothing of interest there for me. I couldn't care less about looking at low-budget hot rods, stunt c*cks and foreign cars. BTW, a stunt coc* is the guy who stands in for the male porn star when he's out of gas. That's what I call an imitation Ferrari, Lambo or anything else that cheaps out where an original is still available. My MG is a SC too, but it was the only way I could get one (still a poser and doesn't make it a real MG).

Anyway, sorry I missed you yesterday.

Warmest,.

Hi, Sentenza,

PLENTY of GTs around, Maybe not as many Twoies, but still a solid number. You're one of these owners, so it'll be nice when your car's done and you can get to a few shows yourself.

Several years ago, maybe 2004 or '05, we had more than a dozen Bradley cars at Carlisle. We had a club tent, and several of us, led by Jeff Troester and the Maryland crew, assembled a GTII under the tent, then drove it around the fairgrounds before the show closed on Sunday.

Owners came in from neighboring Eastern states, as well as several others from the Northeast and Midwest. Cars were trailered or driven, but they got there one way or another. Carlisle was a great place to see what other owners were doing up close, gather information and the all-important inspiration to make their own cars better drivers.

I had arranged to have a special Plexiglas ordered prepared by Sun Ray. The gulls were picked up and taken to the show by (I think) Patrick in Minnesota, then distributed to the owners who had ordered them Save the cost of shipping and got several owners on their way with new Plexiglas.

Like I wrote before, Carlisle is still a great show, but without other Bradley owners there to yak and have fun with, I'd rather be flying RC airplanes or racing vintage karts.

Warmest regards...
