All these problems, and more, are solved by simply joining the slo-mo fun of THE TOURIST CLASS! Fun, food, fellowship done right! No screaming, no puking,no chasing equipment around the cabin...just serenity and scenery. All this and radios in the first and last car. "TOURIST CLASS..NOW THAT'S REAL CLASS!"

Yea, but the rest of either haven't grown up yet (Nick, John, John, etc.) - or missed being nuts in our youth and want to try it now (Me, for one).

Ray and Susan's group will not be blown the doors off anybody either, join us on the trip to the museum, wheels through time, then stop in at the Bryson City brewery , then those who want to run can run back

Hubba Hubba.

Gary, I cannot compete with that.




So if you want, you have two choices. Drive mine and I'll hitch a ride with her or you can go with her.

OKAY, I was exaggerating .
You really have one choice.

I'll (sniff sniff) be fine alone.

Franc, if you really believe everything I say, I have some prime swampland in Florida I can let you have.
I'm an old codger just like you, maybe even uglier.

Sounds like the perfect day.......... in a 1957 Buick Roadmaster.

I am sure I will join your class sooner rather than later Johnathan. Looking forward to seeing you and the wife next weekend.

The "West" caravan will be departing the Denver area on Tuesday. I cannot wait to see old friends and make new ones. We plan on arriving at the lodge on Thursday evening. See you all there.

Your chronological age is posted in your Statistics.
The same posts, we all read and enjoy, describe an energetic and fun loving Crossfire friend
Youth and beauty come from the heart.
It shows in your posts.

As my young wife of 62 says frequently, "growing old is mandatory,,,,Growing up is not!"


As for "Uglier?" Sweetie, I look just like my avatar.
A few more pounds, fewer teeth and al little less hair

Awww... Makes me just want to buy everyone a coke! Maybe at CAA5...

You all be safe and have fun.. Nothing like a bunch of Crossfires cruising together and the friendships that they bring..

Next Thursday morning can't come fast enough for me - claybar, wax, 303 on the Top - tomorrow. Then headlight treatment on Sunday.
After that, I'm good to go.

Looks like I'll be all day on the Lil" Red Buggy. Wash, clay, compound and polish. It's been a couple of years since a stem-to-stern detail.

Christ, at my age, I hope I can remember how!

At least the engine bay is clean...

My avatar is the little guy in a roadster upper left on the posts.

That actually IS me in my first roadster.

My signature has Clint expressing my views on the state of our society.

Shouldn't guys ages be expressed something like dog years are? Meaning I just turned 16 in maturity years but am 50 years chronologically.....
