British V8 2011 - Townsend, TN

[danmas]

The Blount County show is on Saturday, the 14th; They'll be eating breakfast and checking out Sunday morning, the 15th. We'll be checking in and eating burgers and dogs Sunday evening.

Kelly's right- it'd be worth coming early and participating in that show.

After Kelly's and Graham's comments about a Timmies being in Townsend, I simply had to make my reservation.
Tried to make a reservation starting on the evening of the 14th (Like to get in early) but all rooms were booked by Blount British Car Club.
Ended up with reservations for evening of 15th thru 18th.

I do want to emphasize that the hotel people did mention that the block of rooms reserved for us, were filling up fast.

Dan...how many rooms did you block?

[Bill Young]

Reserved my room this morning. The Lumberjack will be there.

[Dan B]

I will be staying with my daughter's family in nearby Knoxville.  I know my son-in-law is excited about BritishV8 being so near him.

Reservations made.  Let the thrash begin.  (If you can count ten months as a thrash).

[Scott Costanzo]

Booked!

Merv,
      I hate to burst your caffein bubble, but according to online locator information, and contrary to popular belief, there are NO Timmies franchises in Tennessee.........that Stevenson character owes us big time for the false reporting

[mowog1]

Booked.  Mary Grace was very nice on the phone.

Dan...how many rooms did you block?

Rick,

I blocked out the entire motel. I'll have to set up a back up motel this week.

Mary Grace was very nice on the phone.

Mary is very nice. She's also good looking.

Graham & Merv, did you not see my explanation posted on 7/23/10.  I have to blame either Tim Dickel or George Horton!  I was a bit confused or disoriented.  Looking thru the bottom of a glass will distort your view of reality.    Hail, Hail, The Gangs all Here or will be.
SAFETY FASTER!

[Merv]

Kelly, 1st it was Santa Claus then the Easter bunny, now its Tim Horton's. Next you will tell me that they will convict another one of our Illinois Goveners. Whats next?
Graham, your right that Stevenson guy really owes us !!! BIG TIME!!!.

I have booked into room 144.  Same room I had in 2006.  Really looking forward to it.

Booked for the 15th, leaving on the 19th.  Arriving in town on the 14th to take in some of the Blount British Car Club events.  Staying at the Bunkhouse Inn on the River the night of the 14th.  The place looks like it has lots of "character" and I can fish from the back door of my room.
Kelly, planning to drive in 2011 so can bring a trunkload of Moosehead. :~)

Kelly and Bill, do you know if curb service is available at the Tally Ho??? I really enjoyed the curb service at the Clarion!!

[danmas]

Phil,

Looking forward to seeing you at both events, but you might want to arrive on the 13th. Our local club will have a BBQ dinner on Friday, with the main show being Saturday morning/afternoon. There'll be a banquet at the Carriage house Saturday evening.

For more info on the local show, see http://www.blountbritishcars.org/  Click on the "Annual Car Gathering" button.

Phil, I may have to plan to arrive early too... river or lake behind the bunkhouse inn?  And what sort of fish are in it?

[Bill Young]

Mike, curb service will be available in Tennessee. The Irish gent that accompanied me to Indy is almost gone, but another will take his place before the meet.

[kstevusa]

"Curb Service"  I thought that issue was laid to rest  at Indy!  Those 2 guys making claims regarding Tim Horton's Eatery never heard the old saying, "believe only half you see and nothing you hear"!!  The oversight was explained earlier in a post advising maybe I was not being totally truthful.  A distortion had occurred and I relayed incorrect info.   Cut me some slack!     Thanks Phil,  I plan to arrive on Friday and will be at the Talley Ho.  Bring on the MOOSEHEAD!  Dickel is also to be in attendance.  
SAFETY FASTER!

Dan:
Thanks for the heads up on the Blount Annual Gathering.  I'll likely plan to arrive on the 13th then and take in that event.  I expect that there will be more info and registration information on their site later.

Rob:
Here's a link to the motel, small operation, only 6 rooms.  It's about 3 miles from the Tally Ho. The water is about 50 ft. from the motel door and is the Little River, apparently home to rainbow and brown trout.

Kelly:
See you there!

[Merv]

Phil, thanks for the heads up on the Bunkhouse. As you say, it does seem like it could have a lot of character. People that own it sure seemed nice.
You can skip the Moosehead and simply fill your trunk up with Tim Hortons coffee.

Phil,

Registration info and forms will be on their website in January (I'm the webmaster). The program will be pretty much a duplicate of last year's. It's a really fun show, you'll enjoy it. The local club members are a great bunch of folks (with the possible exception of yours truly).

[kstevusa]

The "Tail Of The Dragon" has re-opened after the rock slide and the Tenn. side is back in business now. There are many different fun rides available to try.  The Cherolaha Pkwy is close as well and the Blue Ridge Pkwy. No shortage of "fun roads" in the area/  Maybe you can arrive early?   Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum is in Sevierville, about 15-20 miles away.   See you in Townsend in 2011!
