The Head wrote: Vincent, you are awesome with the amount of miles you put on your buggy... but, as of today, I still haven't turned the key to start the newest Manx and also need a place to park it during the night. So.. an enclosed trialer is the way for me.

I'm just yanking your chain... It's all good!

Good news. I have booked a restaurant for the Saturday night dinner, right near the fairgrounds. I have made a reservation for 20 people. I'll need to know how many want to go to finalize this. Thanks! Tom

count me in maybe Dee and Ally.

PS, There may be an issue with Friday nights BBQ. I will post about it when I find out more info.

I"m in for 2 (me and my daughter).

Fri Apr 27, 2012 2:29 pm

We're in for 2.

Friday night is the block party in the middle of town sponsored by Carlisle Events and for show field cars only... keep that in mind as well!

Tom - if you need to do the BBQ on Saturday night, we can drop the restaurant. Tom

How's the dinner work? Is it only open to Manx Club members?
What time will dinner be, roughly? We're planning on heading out Saturday night, with a ~5hr ride home. I'd like to come with 2 friends if it's early enough.

Thanks,
Scott

This year because of the co-sponsorship with Deserter Owners Group and the real Manx Club event on OBX, the dinner is open to any buggy people. I was planning on 7:00 to give folks time to get it together after the cruise on Saturday afternoon. Tom

Hi all, Due to a scheduling conflict the Tj Kustoms BBQ will not be held on Friday. Tom I. has graciously offered to switch days with us. Saturday is the new day for the Tj Kustoms BBQ. All are welcome.
Thank you again Tom I.

Because of the Carlilse Events block party Friday night, which is why TJ Tom wants to move the BBQ to Sat. night, we will skip the dinner this year. Thanks TJ Tom for being so generous! Tom

The wife and I are planning to attend the cruise and BBQ along with some other buggy and deserter owners from Central New York. This will be my first distance trip to a car show. We look forward to meeting all the other buggy owners.

Not sure yet if we are driving or towing the buggy.

We have camping passes. Any suggestions on how we can get camping near the other buggy owners? How does it work if your towing your car without a trailer? Do you have to pay for additional parking for your tow vehicle?

I think you know where we stand on that descision... :P

Looking forward to meeting you! Last shake down trip this week-end before the cruise down next Thursday afternoon.

There are separate registrations and stickers for the car & tow vehicle. Tom

Actually, your trips and stories are the reason I would like to drive it. It's only 4 or so hours from us. Our issue is that we can't afford a hotel and we are unsure of the weather/camping accommodations at Carlisle having never been there.

Fingers crossed - long range forecast for the area is looking good. Rain up until Thursday morning, then clear, cool and sunny through the weekend - a perfect show!

If I'm camping (which I am), it's guaranteed to rain at least once! I can't remember the last time I was able to just put the tent away dry when we got home. :)
