Not to feed the consiracy theorists, (you will meet them) but if it was me setting up an ambush I would have definitely stood behind the fence and posted one or two lookouts/bodyguards in the parking lot with the getaway vehicle.

As for Sunday morning breakfast, there appears to be a good breakfast buffet right here at the hotel.

Hey Ken & Katie,

Rob F, Dad and Brenda and I are going to try and meet up in Ennis where hwy 287 and hwy 45 meet. There is a Taco Bell right off the 45 in Ennis on the west side of the freeway, address 1107 East Ennis Avenue Ennis, TX 75119. We were shooting for 2:30pm to 3:00pm (Sunday). You will probably be going south out on Dallas on hwy 45 to 287 to go towards Palestine. I hope we all can ride in together!...

Brenda and I will get on the road 11:00am Sunday out of Wichita Falls.

Had fun spending time with my son today + giving rides to his friends off Sheppard Air Force Base in our Tr6. Trying to show the younger generation the hobby, they showed a lot of interest.

We here in Shreveport plan on leaving the Best Western Chateau Suites parking lot at 11am to head towards Palestine.

What a GREAT, GREAT meet!  

I'm starting to sort photos...

Can someone please help me with match up a couple cars to their owners names?

I know I met both Ray Holzapple and Phil Marcel... but I'm having a hard time at the moment remembering which gentleman brought the damask red factory MGB GT V8 and which gentleman brought the white one.  

Also, can someone please help me match the pretty little British racing green chrome-bumper four-cylinder MGB to a name?

Thanks!

Bump!

(Please help me match owners' names to these three cars.)









UPDATE:

red GT: Phil Marcell
white GT: Ray Holzapple
green MGB: Barry Glass

One more to identify...

Grabbed a shot of this car from my camera, and zoomed it onto the plate.  "ITSN MG"
Looks like it's from Missouri.  Only MO registration was Bill Young.  He was in the Jag.  I don't remember this car in the hotel parking lot.  Maybe somebody local wondering what all the British cars were doing at Montee's?

That car was previously in Bill Davidson's ownership, I believe.

He sold it to a friend a couple of years ago.

Contact Bill for info if he does not see this thread.

The Orange 74 MGB belongs to Joe Blackwood from Kearney MO.  He was just in Palestine for the day.

Bill Davidson

Awesome.

I've updated the article accordingly and also made a few other additions... including a snapshot of Nick's car.  Have a look, and please don't hesitate to let me know about any errors or omissions.

What article?

I think the article is under the "Meetings" banner as British V8 - 2012

First of the meet articles: <a href="http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/BV82012-TheCars.htm">"The Cars of BritishV8 2012"</a>

Yep, another Blackwood brother! Go Blackwood!! (We should all have matching Lincoln trucks!)
