Tri-state Antique Truck show is coming up!!

https://www.tri-state-antiquetruckshow.com/

Its that time of year once again to start thinking about and making plans for Winchester. The year sure seems to have gone by fast but in this case, that's a good thing. This show is always a great time for all and I look forward to it every year.

Thanks for posting, Marlow!

I hope to be there, as well. Just have a few things to arrange.

I know who else is looking forward to it ...

I'm towing. Deadwrench is currently doorless as we speak. "Hinge" problems. It will be ready to put on the trailer and cruise behind Jim.

Don't be such a GIRL, Joe!!! Doors are for women and small boys. Remember how we drove around on Grigg;s truck with no sheet metal at all???

Man up, lose the man bun and DRIVE the DAM TRUCK

My apologies, Billy!
My envy and greed got the best of me nono
After some serous reflection on this matter, you are correct!”Us” 1- tonner’s do stand above the rest, and being in such an elite group, must set the standards! My apologies!
Sorry John, but as a fellow elite, 1-ton owner, I’m sure you’re in agreement! If not, it’s not the first time, nor the last that you will be disappointed in me! Now, off to the beach!
Sincerely,
Me!

Mikey -- BTW, I'm sorry to report that neither of Pat's Petes are going to be ready for the show (we're having a whole bunch of issues lately with the white one and we haven't gotten around to doing anything with the blue one yet frown ).

Just letting you know. Hopefully, Dempsey can find a ride to the show.

I'm planning to be there ! Looking forward to a break from work. My truck will likely not be there this time though. I'll be in the antique, "stovebolt approved" (1987) camper. It does drive better with all of those expensive new tires.
