Would love to have a DTR join us, now we have to work on getting a SB.

My mistake...... The car show will be at the FORD dealer just before the mall.

I'm not familiar with this one, where is it; on Independence or Oleander?

[fastblackmerc]

I'm not familiar with this one, where is it; on Independence or Oleander?

Actually on Market Street. About 2 blocks north of I40.

[SC Cheesehead]

As you turn south onto Oleander off of College it's about 2 tenths of a mile on your left.

Gotcha! Planning to attend. Now if we can just get that (ahem) LEAKER ;) from over CLT-way to attend with his, ah, Black Beauty we should have a good showing if the rest of the gang shows up.

The SENCMC will host its 11th Annual All Ford Car and Truck Show on Saturday, October 17th at Capital Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership on 5501 Market St in Wilmington, NC. We had 100 cars and trucks last on the show field this year. Capital Ford, Lincoln, Mercury of Wilmington, our sponsor, showcased some of their great cars. We had Brian White with Will FM DJ this year playing your favorite music. We had many door prizes to give out as well as the popular 50/50 raffle with Tom Sawyer taking home $375.00 and Tom Russell with Step Up For Soldiers received the other half as part of our donation to his group. This year promises even more as we expand our show field to accommodate even more cars. This year we will also have a variety of vendors on hand, swap meet, car corral and show and shine only as well as more family games such as last years hit "Pony Races" plus other head to head competition.
Many thanks to Doug Barbour and J.C. Edwards for their support.

Join us this year on October 17th for our 11th Annual Show.

[Marauderman]

We're still planning on being there--prolly a few days ahead of time for looking around stuff

[vonirkinshtine]

BUMP!

So, anyone have any idea where they're staying?

[SC Cheesehead]

BUMP!

So, anyone have any idea where they're staying?

I thought you were going to be logistics coordinator again this year.

All in favor of staying at the Ramada again say "aye.".....;)

[vonirkinshtine]

NO! I'm not coordinating that again, lol. Everyone ended up finding their own deal anyways. The Ramada was alright...but I think I can get a better deal elsewhere.

[dakslim]

Hey, got room for a newbie? Maybe I can make it down too.

[shawn.criswell]

We need a DTR and a SB.....

We have black & blue covered.
Reading ya'll's thread, and after mapping really quick, Wilmington is about 5 hours fro here. I gotta check on a couple of other things, but I'm willing to bring my DTR down for now, can't make commitment as of yet, but planning for the 17th.

[fastblackmerc]

Here is a link to most of the hotels in Wilmington.

From past experiences the Holiday Inns are good as are the Hilton properties (Hilton, Hampton Inn, etc.)

I'll be staying at my daughters place. We can setup a car wash in her parking lot. I'll supply the hose & water, you supply everything else.

[vonirkinshtine]

Hey, got room for a newbie? Maybe I can make it down too.

Dak, absolutly! You are more than welcome! :wave:

So, I think I may shack up at the Comfort Suites. I get a pretty good deal there through Amway.

[fastblackmerc]

Hey, got room for a newbie? Maybe I can make it down too.

Come on down!

Any Ford powered cars are welcome......

[Marauder386]

Would be great to have you there. I've got about the same drive from GVL.

If we can get a SB, that would make all four colors, which would be pretty neat.

"...But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Cheshire Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here." :D

Huh?:help:

[SC Cheesehead]

Huh?:help:

Just a little quote from Alice in Wonderland. In another version (Disney I think) the Cat says, "we're all a little crazy around here, and you may have noticed I'm not all here...myself," and then he starts to laugh hysterically.

Just another way of saying we may be a little crazy, but we're harmless.:D

[vonirkinshtine]

Sure why not. I'll buy a round if it means having all 4 colors of MMs (even though I drive a vic, lol).

Hey, without Frank (red Grand Marq), I'll be the only non-Marauder. Crap!

I better! Otherwise I'll be all alone, because odds are slim another CV will randomly show up (unless we actually get interest from CV.net - which is a long shot).

Yeah fastblack, I'll definately take you up on the car washing facilities.

Hey, can you guys start naming off good detailing supplies that I need to make sure I have. I know you've got to be sick of me borrowing stuff.

I've stayed at the Hampton Inn, the Holiday Inn Express and the Holiday Inn. All good places.

Stayed at the Ramada :shake: when my daughter was going to UNCW and didn't like it.

There is always the Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort and the Residence Inn. :D

The SENCMC will host its 11th Annual All Ford Car and Truck Show on Saturday, October 17th at Capital Ford, Lincoln, Mercury dealership on 5501 Market Street in Wilmington, NC.

We can meet for dinner & drinks on Friday, then decide on where to meet Saturday morning so we can all arrive together.

Will also have a hose available at my daughters condo on Friday. I'll supply the water you bring what ever else you need. PM me for address.

For those that don't want to get dirty, but get their ride clean, there is a car wash called Buff Masters at 1202 South College Road @ the corner of Wrightsville Ave & College Road. It's a hand wash place that does an excellent job.

[GordonB]

Can someone post the hours for this car show as well as the 'meet up times at the show'? There is a possibility that I may be in the vicinity of Wilmington, NC on Sat. Oct. 17, '09.

Thanks,

I printed a bunch of registration slips. Will make registration on Saturday faster.

[Marauderman]

Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend this weekends meet--


Ms. M , while packing Tuesday evening , had a tangle with our dog, him going one way , her the other, and fell in the bedroom and suffered some very hurting bruises on her hips, head , back and shines.

We pushed back our leave hoping things would get better by today--but the incident along with the weather is not better --.She is very sore and stiff and to say sitting is difficult is light to actually being able to achieve.

We are sorry and was looking so forward to meeting our new and old friends.

Our hotel stay , Days Inn was very cordial with helping us by returning our pre-paid stay for three of our four days----holding our first day thinking we could make it down anyway...We so appreciate them working with us. We will stay there again so we can personally say thank you again some day.

So everyone ,please do us good and take home some heavy weights for the group..and some pics too please--for us..

[SC Cheesehead]

Sorry you guys won't be able to make it.

You planning to go to SSHS9, Tom?

[fastblackmerc]

Sorry you & Kathy can't make it.

Hope Kathy gets better soon.

Wanted to see that clean engine compartment!
