Power Tour 08

[kwhizz]

To start things off.....a "Old" friend of mine (Corky Fowler) that moved to the Phoenix area years ago called and asked if he could use one of the "Mutts" and go on the Power Tour this year (Of Course)He's driving the 66 Convert with the New engine and a new 700r4.....So he flew in to Milwaukee on Tuesday and spent some time visiting friends he hadn't seen in Twenty Years, and last night we had a Party at the house for the "Old" Street Rod guy's.....Spent the night talking about the "Old" days.........Cleaned up the mess and went to bed.........Got up this morning and left the house at 6:00 am (Corky left later in the day with Gary Lawler and a couple of other friends doing the Long Haul this year)......600 miles to Memphis .......Got in at 4:00 in the Afternoon.......Corky and Gary won't be here till tomorrow, but Charley and Jody will get here a little later today......."And" so it "Starts"........Travel Pic'sfor Today.........LOL

Wow nice car but is it my eyes or is that a survivor car it doesnt look like a restore to me? Looks like a less than shiny rear bumper.I don't have the best eyes so...... lol. Looks like you guys are having a blast! Stay safe.

I talked to the young lady who owns it. YEP, a girl! She even has a license plate frame that says "No, it isn't my boyfriends car". It is an older restoration of an original A4 Silver 440 Automatic Daytona, one of four built.

She told me she had to sell her 4-speed 440-4 Superbird to move up to the Daytona several years back and that she has no intentions of selling it OR restoring it. Just wants to drive it and enjoy it. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Got up this morning in Lincoln with a "Brisk" breeze blowing thru town......we had breakfast and left for Ames, Iowa and it looked like it was going to be a Tough Day driving in the Weather........we drove thru some light rain with the Dark clouds with Lightning just in front of us....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/kwhizz/Power%20Tour%2008/DSC09596.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/kwhizz/Power%20Tour%2008/DSC09597.jpg

as we were about to get into the "Bad" stuff, Scott called on the Radio and said something wasn't right with his car and we should stop and take a look....

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/kwhizz/Power%20Tour%2008/DSC09601.jpg

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/kwhizz/Power%20Tour%2008/DSC09603.jpg

It ended up that the Disc/ Emergency Brake set-up somehow engaged and the pull arm broke, so Scott and Charley dis-connected the system so we could continue on.....Only now, most of the Bad Weather had gone off to the North so we didn't have to deal it at all.......Perfect Timing for a "Little" mis-hap

Flooding along the way...........

We left Rochester at 8am with the knowledge that the Roads were closed in the Mid-Wisconsin area and no one really had any good road information as to how to get there......Jim Parks was ahead of us and was calling Charley with Route info and originally we were going to try and run down the Interstate.....but he called and told us that the Interstate was closed.....After making a couple of "Wrong" turns (Me) we ended up on Rt. 14 and drove straight thru to Madison without any problems.......Beautiful Country so first some traveling pic's........

Leaving the Parking Lot......Beautiful Weather.

Hey, that's my neighbor in the Yellow Coupe. His first Power Tour, and he just told me he would do it again in a Heartbeat. He said he looked for you just to say Hi but never could find you. He found Gary's and Mark's Biscaynes but never did find your Chevelles.
One of the guys in his 'pack' was Brian Rudolph from Godfrey, IL, the winner of one of the Crate Motors.

I tried to post something earlier but the 'puter had a mind of it's own so I'll try to say it again.

Hey Ken...GREAT photos!... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
Didn't you get pulled over for speeding last year because of Mr. Lillard?...how were the cops this year?

[Mr70]

"Walking thru a Swampy Field to get to a Steakhouse for Charley and Shirley's wedding aniversary only to find it was closed".....

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Lillard.
How many years?

[Charley Lillard]

35 and we were walking thru the swampy park to go to dinner. It just happened to be our anniversary. When I take my wife out for anniversary dinner it will be without all you dopes...Except we happen to be on Power Tour during our anniversary each year....oh well.......

My cell phone did a meltdown so I lost all my stored phone #'s. Luckily I have most of them backed up on my home computer...Except when I got home yesterday my home computer apparently got toasted from a power spike. So now unless I can recover what was on the home comp I am kinda screwed.
Was a great Power Tour that really is about the journey and the people you meet. Next year it starts in Wisconsin on June 6th so if you are on the fence about it by all means start planning now and try the journey.

And for the last 4 days I have had a nice ear infection. What ???

[ORIGLS6]

Congrats Sir. Best wishes for another 35! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

(And my sincere condolences to Shirley for her 35 years of 'Charley Horses'. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif) Take care of that Lady cause you probably won't ever find another one who'll put up with your (our) nonsense. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
