NO Merve, there is no Tim Horton's rest. in Townsend! Maybe Graham will bring you another cup? or your could drive over to Dayton Oh and visit their store. Some few states have a franchise, but none closer than Ohio. Seriously, there should be a large number of the Blount county bunch there on Friday & Sat. and then our V8 bunch takes over on Sunday! Townsend is beautiful in the spring.
SAFETY FASTER!
Just processed my registration. See ya'll there.
It's in the mail!!
Not sure I can drive that far.....
Where is every one? Only 20?
It's still early, Dan.
When there is snow on the ground, a lot of folks aren't thinking sports car activities.
I would be there this year for sure, but my twin boys graduate high school the same time the meet is in May.
Next year for sure.
Noticed there are more MG/302's registered than BOPR's... I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin...
Guess I'll be bringing the MG-Roadmaster again.
JB
"Noticed there are more MG/302's registered than BOPR's... I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin..."
That won't hold. Where are the LS1s?!
I score it a 7 to 7 tie at the moment. The Avenger has a Buick 90-degree V6, which counts as a BOPR since it was derived from the original 215 design and shares parts (e.g. timing cover). BOPR's would be leading if Roger Williams were bringing his car to the meet.
The MG-Roadmaster has a Buick engine...
JB
You guys are talking like politicians... 302 is one motor choice. You can combine the BOP 215 & Rover variants of the V8. Starting to say V6's & big blocks are the same engine choice requries me to go get my boots. All in fun -- but I'm still just sayin :)
I am definitely attending the meet! I am trying to get commitment from other family members so I know how many to register.
Regarding Risk's comment "It's still early, Dan. When there is snow on the ground, a lot of folks aren't thinking sports car activities." I spent last night in doghouse for spending too much time on the Spitfire. Something about my turn to cook dinner!?
Bring'um ALL, Phil! Tn is beautiful in the Spring.
"Tn is beautiful in the Spring."
Yeah, the flowers & trees are all abloom.
BRING YOUR ALLERGY MEDS!
You Ford guys are just whining cause you only have one engine. Boo Hoo!
JB
Correction, there are a FEW. The Turbo 4 cyl.(Dale), and Maybe a Super Coupe T-Bird in another Brand. Just that the 5.0L is so plentiful and adequate in the "Bounce per Ounce" category. Have you "Driven A Ford Lately"?
Jim, Maybe a Blackwood?
"Maybe a Blackwood?"
:-0 :-)
Ain't no Hot Rod Lincoln! ;-)
Blackwood's Blackwood engine is a little sour and needs to be replaced with a BBB....
I am now officially registered for both events. The bad news is I will probably be alone this year. (You'll have to put up with my lack of adult supervision.) The good news is I have a spare reservation at the Talley Ho for the 15th-18th that I would be happy to try to transfer to someone. Talley Ho and Highland Manor were both booked for the 13th & 14th, but the Econolodge still had rooms.
That's one I'm not sure even I would attempt.
But the good news is I have a fresh set of injectors ready to install tomorrow and then (hopefully) all will be smiles and sunshine. We'll see.
JB
Sent in my electronic registration (Nice, Dan!!!!!) and PayPal payment tonight (3/14).
I'm looking forward to meeting more of you guys. I attended one other meet in Durham, but at that time I was just trying to learn a little about modified Mgs. I purchased a 74 BGT that Pete Mantell had converted to 3,4 V6 for the previous owner. I dove it to Bellview foe MG 2010 but was not able to attend the Indy event. I am joining the Rallye to Reno in Ocean City on June 4th so the event in Townsend will be the shakedown cruise for the 7-8000 mile trip in June. I'm taking a round about northern route back from San Francisco to NC. I've been doing some work on my car this winter with assistance from Ken Nicks in his fine facility in Jonesville, NC.
1973 MGB-GT 3.4 V6 5spd A/C completed:
front suspension serviced, new tie rod ends, gators & shocks, new floorpans welded in sealed, truck bed liner applied and interior covered in Hushmat, carpet installed, radiator and heater core serviced at radiator shop and re-installed, had to do the heater core twice since I pinched the demist cable under the rubber block the first time, LED tail light/brake/indicators and front daytime running lights installed, added third brake light, changed 90 weight oil in differential, upgraded heater fan motor to a higher cfm unit from a Fiero, new gas tank & fuel filter, new wheels and tires, new spark plugs etc.
to do:
radio, cruise control, rework exhaust system for more ground clearance, front end alignment, etc
I have not been active on this forum but I will check in more frequently, I do hang out over at the MG Exp aka lawnvett

PJ it will be good to see you again. Sounds like a nice car you have. I know that Pete does great work so it should be very reliable for you on those long trips. See you in the mountains.
Thanks Bill see you in May

Went to the Tally-Ho site, no rooms left. I guess I will be staying down the street. Is there an offical registration form for the event?
take care, Dave
Dave,
You can find the entry forms here - either on line with PayPal or mail in. http://www.britishv8.org/British-V8-Meetings.htm
See you here,
Dan
How many registrations to date, Dan.
Maybe I should rephrase that.
How many paid registrations do we have for BritishV8 2011, Dan?
Rick,
33 so far - see the top of this thread for a complete list of entries.
Unfortunately, Roger Williams had to cancel due to circumstances beyond his control. He sends his regrets. He had purchased airline tickets and made reservations, but, alas, it is not to be. He and Alex are deeply disappointed, as I'm sure we all are.
Damn.
Too bad, won't be quite the same...
JB
HEY! just a little over 4 weeks now! seems like the weather is breaking and the mountains will be beautiful. appears a few will arrive early and take in the BCBC show also.
SAFETY FASTER!
I'm waiting on a head for the truck, won't get it back for a week and a half. Hopefully that'll give me time to put it back together and get the bugs worked out. Dropped a pair of exhaust valve seats.
So other than Steve is there nobody else who can help get the Roadmaster ready? A shame really.
JB
Ok, since I have precious little time to shake down the car my wife didn't want me to drive it -- promised her I'd trailer it there & back & just drive it while there. Up side is that gave me the opportunity to invite my dad to join me on the trip. He's in good shape but at 71yrs old & with something like 29 pins in his hip from when he shattered it a couple years ago I didn't think he'd enjoy the trip from TX in the MG. Even though he'd hinted at being interested, I hadn't invited him before. So add one a guest to the registrations Dan... I just filled out the form & paypal'd his fees (the shirt's for me though ;) ).
Rob,
Got him on the list. I think it's great that he's joining you. He won't be alone - there will be several of us " over 70" there, myself included.
I would suggest we have an oldtimer's club, but none of us would admit to actually being old.
I'm over 70", actually just under 74". ;)
Carl, by that standard I'm not sure my dad is even over 65... any more anyway.
I always get confused. I can never remember if I'm 5'6" or 6'5" It's one or the other.
No more procrastinating. I'm officially registered. Might ride my Harley, though.
I'd bring my old ironhead sportster if I could find room on the trailer.
JB
Just spoke with Dan and have had to cancel out for this year.....way to much happening in out lives right now with our home up for sale and staring construction of a new one. Going to miss seeing friends and driving the great roads in the area in the finally finished MGB.

Phil, sorry to hear you won't make it. Was looking forward to seeing you and your car. Oh well, we'll see you next year!!
Dang it, Phil! I hate it when life gets in the way fo our fun!
I ordered a cooling fan today, unfortunately I'll be out of town until May 12. I plan to get it installed that evening then drive to Tn. with Darly and Ken on Fri. 5-13. Let's hope for on time flights, ups deliveries and no install hassles.

Finally found coverage at the pharmacy for Sunday, so Jean and I will be in late afternoon (rather than on Monday, as I was anticipating).
Heck, my Blazer showed up that Blackwood on the autocross :))))
Steve
Some of our guys have had to cancel due to other obligations. but we wil still have a great meet. probably several new attendees will discover "The Spirit" Looking fwd to seeing you all!
Mr Dickel and Margarita will help provide the entertainment :)
SAFETY FASTER!
Want a rematch?
JB
Mike, Rick Kelly...............I hope you and all the other guys have a great time! The plan was to leave home today, take my time going to Nashville, picking up Mrs. Phil (Pam) at the airport on the morning of the 10th, spend a couple of days playing tourist, then meet Kelly and Richard Woodley in Chattanooga for a drive over the Cherohala to the Blount Gathering and the v8 Meet. Kind of bummed that I'm not on the way but there's always next year.
We will soldier on, life throws us a curve and even a nuckle ball sometimes. good luck in your duties. Mr Dickel and Margartita will try to uphold your duties w/o Mr Moosehhead.
SAFETY FASTER!
Dang it Phil. I was looking forward to seeing you and your B too.
