Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Gremlin- animal

That is what I did when I went to the one in St. Louis. I rented a car because I didn't know if the Gremlin would make it or not. While I am glad I went I kicked my butt the whole time for not taking my Gremlin. There is just something about going to a car show without your car in the show. Like wearing dirty socks are something. My plans on Dayton was I was going to drive the Gremlin and my other half was going to follow me in her car. Of course with her announcement she is not going that blew that idea. Then a buddy of mine said he would go with me and we would trailer the Gremlin behind his fancy truck. He got to checking and that is the weekend he is going to some damn island. He didn't offer me his truck or trailer. My last thought is to find out when a couple of guys I know from here are leaving and take off a couple hours before they do. I would go up with them but they all have hot AMC's I imagine they will be running 75 and 80 mph. While I know Gremmie will do 80 to tell you the truth I get nervous when I have it much over 60 or 65.

Terry I understand at the big meet in Kenosha there were people in
Kenosha itself that didn't take their cars out for the biggest ever
meet. All I can say it's their loss not mine. I would have done anything
to have been able to attend such a meet. I was fortunate enough to be at
the 2000 nationals in Ct. but at the time I only had the yellow car and
it was not up to the trip so I drove a rental with my son and one of my
friends. He had 3 AMC's, a 78 Concord coupe, a 78 Concord AMX and a 79
Concord 4 door. The coupe and the 4 door were daily drivers for him and
his wife. But you cold ot get him to bring the really nice AMX to the
show or local cruise night. I can't figure these people out. In Ct.
that's where I met Eddie an Paige.

Your right Doc like I said earlier there are about 6 of us around here that take there cars out. I have been told there are quite a few AMC cars in Louisville. At one time they even had an AMO chapter here. It is not listed anymore. Phil the guy with the 401 63 Ramler and the caddy powered Pacer said the only time it met was right before the AMO nationals and they would talk about going there. He said he has tried for years to get them to come to some of the local shows and they won't do it. He said they bring them out three or four times a year to go to the Nationals and maby a regional AMO show or a Rambler show and the rest of the time they sit in the garage. What a waste to me.

Jim it's the same old thing AMC guy's complain about recognition but try
to get them to take their cars to an event and it is like pulling teeth.

get the to take their cars out FOGETABOUTIT.
