Forward Look NON-Technical Discussions -> Miss Belvedere - The Unearthed Tulsarama Plymouth! | Message format |
Nathan D. Manning![]() |
| ||
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Location, Location, Location... So far, a few sites have been mentioned for this gathering. Las Vegas, Nevada seems to have become the most popular place. Meanwhile, a few members feel that '57 Heaven in Branson, Missouri would be a more centrally located. Still others indicate that "Wherever Miss Belvedere Is..." would be the best place for us to get together. Of course, when it comes to the geographical EXACT CENTER of the United States, Topeka, Kansas looks good. All of these locations (and a few others) are included in this poll. That said, hopefully we can find a solution that will benefit nearly ALL ForwardLookers... "Domestic & Foreign" alike. Enjoy! -NM Edited by Nathan D. Manning 2007-11-20 1:15 PM | ||

Central USA makes sense.. Everyone had No Choice with Tulsa, As it was the Unearthing or Rebirth .. But i problem i can see is , If you chose West US then people will come from Central and West only, Chose East US and you will get East and Central members only, But go with Central as before and you will most probably get the Most People show up, I realise the East and West have to Travel further But Neil and others drove from Cal and Dick Whelan drove from New York, Dick ain,t gonna drive to Vegas and Neil ain,t gonna drive to New Jersey, SO Central makes the Most Sense,,, Wha Ja all Reckon.. ??????????? | ||

I also could go Branson, about the same distance for me either way. Middle of the country would probably get more folks. My .02 Ray | ||

Vegas is 24 hours, lots of lodging, food, liquor and women. If it is decided that Vegas is the location for the reunion, I would be willing to help out planning and arranging events. | ||

Posts: 19146 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: bishop, ca | "Central USA" makes as much sense, as Nantuket (there was an old car from Nantucket...) due to that newly-discovered transportation called AIRPLANES. And, boys-and-girls, the price of gasoline is going to be $4.00+/gallon, by next spring. And, people are always making excuses about why they "can't" drive their cars over X-miles/days...to a destination. And, air-fair, in addition to being FAST, is not going to be particularly expensive. My main problem with Branson, is the same as for Tulsa: CLOSING-TIME (and, maybe: 'dryness-of-county' ???) I don't want to get rousted, from a bar, or a parking lot, because of the local blue-noses/laws. This is supposed to be a PARTY (if someone wants to call it a night & go to bed at 11PM: FINE ) , but hard-core car-people have been known to stay up, socializing, even after midnite. Gentility has its place; but, I want to have some rowdy FUN,and FUN is abundant in VEGAS. | ||

Expert Posts: 1590 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Scottsdale, AZ | I vote Sin City. But if it is Branson, how far from Monett is it? My brother lives there. And do they have some music that isn't C & W some of the time? 50's and 60's are great by me, I'm just not a Country fan, and if that's all they got...............I'm staying in the car with Oldies blasting! LOL Mark, OF COURSE MY CAR WILL BE DONE! LOL (you might have to sit on an orange crate though! lol) My neighbor and I have been busting our humps this holiday weekend, hoping to get it in epoxy primer by Sunday! Delivered the engine parts to Phoenix Engine Rebuilders on Wednesday, got my gas tank from Big M, fuel pump from Robert, Pulley from Bruce, etc., etc. Blowing all my cash before I realize it!

It's cheaper to find one drunk, that way you only need to spend a few bucks to keep her that way ![]() I don't think a date has be officially set for the reunion but if it is after July 08 I will be able to participate in all the adventures legally. I will be 21 in July. While its not impossible to enjoy the Vegas night life as minor it sure is difficult. We need more votes for Vegas! Edited by 58-Savoy 2007-11-24 12:28 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3589 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: Blythewood, SC | In all sincerity, I will NEVER NEVER fly again. It costs too much money to be treated like sh!t and presumed a terrorist. Nope, not me ever again. Not going to happen. So, that means I have to drive. Angie gets two weeks of vacation, and it will take over a week to get there and back by car. Vegas isn't worth it to me. But I'm just one guy. You will have just as much fun if I'm not there. Vegas does sound fun. If it is where everyone wants to go, then GO!!!!!!! | ||

If it is where everyone wants to go, then GO!!!!!!! I'm just about certain you can count me OUT for a Vegas reunion, too. Central U.S. makes much more sense to me... but no way in Hell am I driving out to Sin City. In my opinion, it would be just as ridiculous as holding a get-together in Saint David, Maine (Check a Map). Nothing against Vegas (or St. David, for that matter)... but they're pretty far out if you don't live less than 5 states away. Sure, I could fly in... but what's the fun in doing that to hang out with fellow CAR FOLKS?!?! If we were a bunch of airplane enthusiasts, anywhere would be great... but by and large we're CAR PEOPLE. That means DRIVING there would be half the fun. To me, Vegas does sound like a Helluva great time for a vacation - but not a car event. If I ever do fly out there, I'll probably look up KennyJ and try to do lunch or something, but when it comes to an official ForwardLook gathering there, I'm out. Of course, like Brain, I'm just one guy... So, that makes two of us who are geographically impaired when it comes to a Vegas get-together. -NM Edited by Nathan D. Manning 2007-11-27 2:37 PM | ||

Right now, I have had firm "OK's" on Vegas in late May/early June from John Fowlie, Mike Bond, Mark (1959 Fury), Clive Reeve, and Jimmy Johns. I haven't heard back from Steve Mopar-to-You, or Dave (Swept 57). Ron Mog & I are good for that time, then, there's Jay Eldridge. If Jay could give us a firm date/place in Vegas, I think that we could get more-definite committments. Hey, east-coast 2009 is doable, too, but, we need to begin somewhere, with this 'deal'.... | ||

Maybe we have an Eastern US meet in someplace like Atlanta, Memphis, Charlotte, Daytona, or someplace over here. Then we can all meet, and all drive, and I don't have to go through Alabama ever again. Split the group. Twice the fun.

Expert Posts: 2338 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: central oklahoma! | i'm out for vegas. i won't fly, same reasons as brain copper. time is short, too. a week is the absolute longest i can ever get away from the office. i voted for tulsa, but would vote for anywhere in the central u.s. i also like the route 66 thing. however, neil has an excellent point, and that is "enlightened" hospitality. soooo...... NEW ORLEANS! as far as "sinning" is concerned, it makes vegas look like an amateur. waaaay more experience! it is also centrally located (albeit southern), and they're looking for business. downside? HOT AS HELL in the summer. VERY NICE in the winter. hmmmm......... i also like kansas city, oklahoma city, or dallas/fort worth. branson is cool with me, but it is definitely NOT a "party town", unless you party like you were born in 1927. i won't even mention stroud, although i'd love to have you folks again. by the way, we're up to 4 wineries in the city limits now, and sell on sundays. ![]() | ||
