Dieter and you need to get up here at the AutoFair sometime and eat some of my BBQ pork and Baby Back Ribs! I'll show Dieter how to cook!

Roy;
We meet at my house at 8am, and then drive over as a group at 8:30, that way we can be lined up as a group, the actual show starts at 9am, but, cars filter in all morning. As for teaching Dieter how to cook, unless you make some hell-lious BBQ and ribs, Dieter has you beat!!

Ach, I want to go, but my Opel is nowhere near completed, nor am I up to driving one weekend. (Dunno about work and such.)

Man I'm going to bring a car with a how can I say this ..a $%^*^Y 'up front end.
Your Opel will never be done so come on out and have some fun with her

Damn, guess what: I'm going to spend the first weekend of May in Germany - including the week before and the week after...
I'm sorry guys, no free lunch this time, but I'm planning to make it good: As soon as my pool/landscaping project is done, I wanna invite all Opelers to another Newnan-meeting. I'm planning on having that in the area of June/July.
The trip to Carlisle is not in danger. I have approved vacation on TH & FR, and nobody will take that away from me.
Enjoy the meeting!

Now that just confirms my worst suspicions, work really is a four-letter word.
Have a safe trip and we’ll catch you on the flip-flop.
10-4 good buddy I’m out of here!!

Dieter;
All will be forgiven if you bring back a couple of 5-spds, or even a 2.0 16V

Just bumping this back up front, it's just a little over two weeks till the show, so all GA Opelers get ready!!

[wrangler]

Looks like I might make it to the show, but for the wrong reasons, and without my GT... Tax season hit me bad this year and though I had wanted to donate alot of my extra parts to the site, looks like I'll be needing to sell them to save from selling my GT. Alot of extra parts, including complete A/C, rotors, and other misc parts.
I look forward to meeting some of the great members of this site (esp Gene, ty for all your help over the last 2 years) and attending my first Opel event.

Brett;
I'm glad you'll be coming to the show. But, any reason to meet another Opeler is better than not meeting them.

I got a pre-registration form in the mail today from the Orphan Car Show host. In case the rest of the GA Opelers or those planning on coming would like to go ahead and register (please disregard the May 4, 2076 date) I have attached it in .pdf form to this post. If not, I can e-mail direct.
See ya'll there!!!

Gene,
Right now, I plan to come. As you know things could change. But I will go ahead and send in my registration. What do you want us to put down for the "Club Affiliation"? I am assuming you want us to simply mail this to Rick Kamen.

I'm confused about the Ga. law concerting car dolly's.
Do you need a current tag on the towed vehicle?
The Nissan truck can pull a dolly(with a Opel) but I'm not sure about a full sized racecar trailer with a ton behind it.

Roy;
Just put down O.A.N.A, but, it's mostly for like the Stude, Packards, and such.

Dan;
I don't think it matters as to if the towed car is tagged or not, as this is a common way of moving disabled or extra cars about. Dieter brought his Kadett in one year on a trailer, but, I don't think he even has it tagged.

With <11 days till the Orphan show I can finally put down the body tools.
It's time to clean,clean,clean instead of sand,sand,sand
The girl is not perfect but what the hay...after one year of work it does not look like I've made any headway.
After the May 5th. date theres a car show-open house at my place of work
On the 12th. located just across the speedway (AMS).
There's usually 30-50 American Muscle cars in attendance with only one Opel GT this year.
So sad

Dan;
Mention this at the OCS and we'll see if we can't get a few more Opels there...

Just Bumping this back up front. The show is this weekend!!

[wrench459]

Time is NOT on my side for the Orphan car show.
There is just to much to do and no time to do it.
I tell myself
"I own an old car"
"I own an old car"
With that said I could have bought an unknown Opel GT for 5 grand.
Right now I've got over 3 grand in the new engine alone.

I own an Antique car

Good thing this is a hobby and I don't depend on selling used cars for a living

Dan;
Just drop it on a tow dolley and bring it on up....

[BQS4]

Just got off the phone with Rick Kamen, the organizer of the Orphan Car Show, and he told me that there is "3" awards for JUST OPELS this year, so, if you can get there come on down!!!!

[wrench459]

I've got the " Biggest POS" award down pat then
Got the tow dolly lined up
with a errr 4 wheel tandem trailer in the back ground
for backup
