Some of us are going to meet at The Lighthouse next to the TravelLodge on south sixth across from the newest Walmart and Golden Corral close to Rt 72/55. We hope to meet around 11:30 am for lunch on Saturday Dec 19. There is a white lighthouse with a red stripe in the parking lot. Anyone in the area is invited to join us.

Justbob, As usual fine selection of a restaurant for smart people to gather. Your 1/18 scale model was tricked out very nicely. I imagine it is easier to work on during the winter. Congratulations to Jim on winning a set of our new mudflaps.Phil, good to see your OK even though the car didn't fair too well. Look forward to next get together. Will be heading to Florida end of Jan. to relax and take in the Orlando 2nd Anniversary party.
Was hoping to have the Orange Crate hopped up by then but not possible.
John, will be in Springfield Wednesday to dyno the donor if weather permits. See Ya All Happy Holidays

We have seen a yellow/black cabrio and a red/black cabrio around town, and another blue/silver one. Does anyone else in the Springfield area navigate to this site?

Ours is blue/black, and we sure do like the 38/45 gas mileage!

We picked this one up at Plaza Motors in Creve Coeur, MO.

Hi Trimkus550,

I have probably seen your car around town when out on errands. There is a white one with a wind-up key on the back of it too. My daughter an I saw it by the train station one day when we went there to pick up our daughter.

It sounds like we will be having another smart get-together some place when the weather warms up. It has a ways to go there! That way we can spend some time out in the parking lot with the vehicles.

We are on our second one now, as the first one was totaled in an accident. That was most likely due to the air bag deploying on the steering wheel, which costs $4k to replace. With being able to walk away from the accident, you become a firm believer in these vehicles!

OK, I'm thinking about the possibility of Saturday March 27 for lunch at "The Lighthouse" again. Hopefully the weather will be warmer. I did go crazy and put a wind up key on my car. I'll take pictures when the snow goes away a little bit.

Sounds like a plan Bob, it's the wifes "B"day that day so it will be her call. Hopefully this snow will be gone and the temps. a little warmer.With a little luck I'll have the Orange Crate all glued back together sporting some new performance upgrades. Testing it all out on the test mule now!

BARNEY O. "BMS" can you smell what's cookin' ???
