I am looking forward to finally putting faces to these names. I will be there for the Bluebonnet Cruise, BBQ, and Sunday to stare at all the bugs...

by **Bill K** » 17 Wed Apr, 2013 10:25 pm

Looks like some chilly nights, but still a great forecast. I wish you all a grand time and just ask you don't use up all the fun and save a little for me for next year. OK?

by **Bryan Porter** » 18 Thu Apr, 2013 6:20 am

On the road at 7:00 this morning.
Happy Birthday Bill.

Well, we thought that we were going this weekend! The last minute emergency struck! My wife and I will not be seeing you guys this time. I will try for the Blast in May and see if that can happen. Have fun and there is now a room available at the Peachtree Inn on S. Washington.

Sorry, hope to try again in May!

by **BrianB** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 8:31 am

Sorry to hear that. My buggy is now pretty much ready.Just needs a good wash tonight and load it on the trailer for a lift off around 8am tomorrow.

by **johber41** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 1:40 pm

Have fun guys! From the looks of the registered cars, there are quite a few modified bugs coming in from Mexico. I would have loved to see what they have done with them.

by **RobertB** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 3:31 pm

Hello all,
Ronnie and I are getting in Saturday late afternoon/evening, and staying at the Peachtree. Is there a group gathering or meeting place, just to socialize and hang out? Hope to see everyone again.

Bob & Ronnie

by **BrianB** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 8:33 pm

Stop by the Oakwood RV park and look for the buggy's.

by **BrianB** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 8:34 pm

Marcia and I will get in around 1ish. Shopping, some German food then a beer at the campfire!

by **TXRnK2** » 19 Fri Apr, 2013 9:46 pm

Well buggy in shop for transmission. We will be coming, but only for Saturday. Still want to meet everyone...looking forward to it. I'm (Kim) sad. I was so looking forward to this. So we will be coming in our truck....white ram 1500 sport.... If you see us please introduce yourselves. We will be with friends looking for you all.

Hi there Bob. Great to hear from y'all.

Brian is right, best chance to catch up with us on Saturday is checking in on us at the RV park. You can't niss the campsite, with all the buggy's around it. I'm not speaking for everyone, but past years most TMC people pass on the Classic scheduled events and we do our own thing.

by **Faron** » 21 Sun Apr, 2013 9:46 pm

I was at the Classic today, even after all these years of being in the club. I only recognised one person, so I said hello to Corey as he was putting his Buggy on the trailer to go home. Sorry guys!

by **yoboy** » 21 Sun Apr, 2013 10:11 pm

Thanks to everyone that stopped by the Man cave at the campground, you guys made it a fun time. The cruise on Saturday was great, thanks to Bryan for leading.... Cant wait til the next one!

Also a special thanks to our old buggy friends that stopped by to visit, it was great to see you guys again.

by **CoryN** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 8:23 am

Thanks to the man cave proprieters!

We really enjoyed the weekend with y'all

Cory

by **Ken** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 8:29 am

Congratulations to Cory, the Blair's and Bryan. They are Texas Manx Club winners that I heard about.
Any others out there?

Great fun, all weekend. I saw lots of cameras, so we are waiting anxiously for all the pictures to start coming in.

by **Bryan Porter** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 5:37 pm

Well we made it home safe and sound.
I was in the motorhome and found I still had some moon shine good for Bryan!!!!!!
We had a ball this weekend it was great seeing everybody can't wait till the next time.

by **yoboy** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 8:08 pm

Richard, be sure to get your buggy to me for that upholstery job before that moonshine wears off....

by **cdmartin** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 8:26 pm

It was a great time in Fredericksburg. Thanks guys for all of the cooking, and for the laughs. Sorry we had to leave out early Sunday morning. Congrats to Cory,Bryan and Gloria for their winning buggies. We would have loved to have seen the club represented so well,again congrats.
The tour was great Bryan. Charley and I enjoyed the ride through the hill country, and the scenic views were beautiful. Thank you! Looking forward to the next get together.

by **GregR** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 8:39 pm

Great weekend, saw some old friends, missed a few friends and made some new friends.
Bryan led us on a super cruise (even found a port-a-potty in the middle of nowhere)

Congrats to the winners, especially Cory, the patience and hard work paid off.

Here's a link to my photobucket from the weekend, warning, there's lots of pictures....

Dangit, I thought I posted right after Faron but I get home, go on the site, and see there's nothing here? Man, it's getting scary, forgetting things all the time. Probably still in an open window at work; oh well. Yepper, we had an awesome time this weekend and it started with that awesome cruise, followed by some great fellowship at the Man Cave, hosted by some really nice folks that really did a good job making everyone comfortable. That was a gas! Thanks guys! We can't wait to do it again and are looking forward to the next time we all meet. There's a bunch of photos we took too and they're getting uploaded to the Photobucket and we'll get those out to you guys when they are done. Awesome job on your photos Greg - I mean, really well done! Missed ya Bill - Happy Belated Birthday sir!

Cheers,
Richard

by **ScottR** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 9:15 pm

I had a great time this weekend at Fredericksburg and put some faces and names to all the posts. Being a newby at this stuff was ok because I made my way through. Can't wait til we all meet again.

by **cdmartin** » 22 Mon Apr, 2013 9:36 pm

The pictures are great Greg,thanks for sharing!

by **Faron** » 23 Tue Apr, 2013 7:48 am

Thanks for posting the pics Greg, they look great.
Did anyone do much talking to the person who owned the White kit car that went on the drive with you? I am not sure but I think they live in the same area I do. I understand there are a few kit cars that look much like it running around, but.... It would be cool if they were the same people.

I live on the South Side of Canyon Lake, in the neighbourhood near Comal Park.

by **GregR** » 23 Tue Apr, 2013 9:31 am

The MG is Tom Collelo (spelling?) and I think they're from Baton Rouge....it's for sale

by **Faron** » 23 Tue Apr, 2013 10:31 am

It's cool that the Classic brings people in from so far away!

by **BrianB** » 23 Tue Apr, 2013 1:57 pm

Had a great time as usual. It was great seeing everyone again. Congrats to the winners. See you all at the Round up and various other shows this summer.
Of course me being one of the last to get in my buggy to leave the itchy thing wouldnt start for like 15 minutes. Thought I was going to have to go and ask Mr Porter for an award :mrgreen:

Stupid Photobucket... couldn't be the user, could it? The camera battery quit right before Bryan and Billy walked up to get trophy's. Sorry guys..

by **johber41** » 23 Tue Apr, 2013 9:18 pm

Nice job with the pics Richard!

by **Ken** » 24 Wed Apr, 2013 8:26 am

Great pictures Greg and Richard. I think its cool seeing the cruise pictures from different perspectives.

Angela had our camera and I think she took some good shots also.
Can you tell from her show pic's that she is planning a baja build?

I Hate These Shows! . . . . . Every time we go, we see something we like, then it customizing time.
I just spent 4 days in the garage ripping out the back seats, designing a storage area (trunk) and then building it. Now I'm off to wander aimlessly thru the aisles of auto junk yards looking for some kind of a latch. Only kidding about hating shows

Soon to be done, it's looking pretty good.

by **GregR** » 02 Thu May, 2013 8:22 am

Glad you had a good time Bob. As far as a latch, check out a Marine supply store. That's where I got mine, and for what good it does, it also locks.

by **BrianB** » 02 Thu May, 2013 3:30 pm

Pictures or it didn't happen. You know how we are all voyeurs and like to see pictures of any upgrades or builds!!

You know what I think would be great... if Bob started a thread in the Members Projects section...

Hey Bob, why don't you and Ronnie come cruise with us Saturday?

by **RobertB** » 02 Thu May, 2013 7:39 pm

OK, I can take a hint. I take some pics and start a thread.

Ken, thanks for the invite, but this Sat is out. The buggy is apart, still working on the trunk. No seats because the carpet is next. Also, Ronnie is working all day, but I do want a rain check.

Thanks
