Hard to believe that it is already time to start a thread for the 2026 Invasion.

Our local hosts, Richard & Mary Spryer, are really on top of things and already have a venue for our Saturday dinner reserved. Lots more details to work out, but wanted to get the dates out there for folks to start planning.

19 months to go!

Damn, that was fast!

I am probably too far to make the trip (SoCal), but Clemmie is running so well, I am tempted. If I can solve my hot running issues with the add-on cooler I bolted in but haven't yet plumbed, it may be even more tempting.

Plan B would be to fly nearby and ride shotgun with a fellow Invader.

It's tempting, as my parents grew up in Boscobel, about a 3 hour drive away.

And the T3 group is awesome to hang with!

Might miss this as it's the same weekend as Hessisch Oldendorf in Germany.

Well I guess we know what we are doing!

Just over 14 months to go.....

I started updating the webpage. None of the links, other than my email, are working right now. Will be adding more content as we work out the details with our local hosts, Mary and Richard Spryer.

Here is the link to the Invasion website for future reference....

can this be pinned to the top of the page, so it doesn't get lost in the fold please?

Added some more Invaders to the list and map tonight. We are up to 15 Invaders with 3 of the 4 body styles represented. Still need a Notchback to attend. Still have over 13 months to go, so there is time.

BTW, Thanks for asking for the pin, Joel. Thanks to Everett or whoever pinned it too.
