If you get anything big, we could probably just put it in the bed and I can store it for you until you can come up and get it. Just a suggestion.That sounds like a good idea. Quote Selected

I don't think we have that many attending do we? Man I hope it doesn't rain. If that's the case we might have to forgo the junkyard and probably even the car show. :(Keep in mind other customers may be there too. I'd guess we have about 10 or so attending. Talked to an F-body friend of mine tonight, he may go too.It won't rain. But if it does, I'm still going to Mars! Quote Selected
May 20th = A Success!! Reply #21 – May 21, 2006, 11:28:35 AM Well, what began early as rainy ended up as a wonderful clear sunny day. And I have the sunburn to prove it along with others that attended.We had a total of 11 Fords 1 Acura and 1 Ram In attendence representing our board were myself andCougars2go, Karl and Debbie in the IntegraMercoug302, William in his '96 LSCMotormenace, Ben in his '86 TCThe Lincoln guys really came out making up the majority of the cars there.One Way, Rick - '90 LSCOldSchool1, John - '84 Mark VIIChip89LSC, Chip - '88 LSCmarked, John - '90 LSCHixHonor, Jack - '85 Mark VII Bill BlassRadie842, Mike - '00 Town CarGadget73, Thain - '86 Town CarThen there was Chris in a 2003 Lincoln LS, who is not associated with any of the message boards. He was in the area because his wife was at a convention at the hotel next door to our meeting place. He saw all of our cars and introduced himself and even brought his car over to join the crowd.The Ram was my dad since he ran support and parts hauler duties.We met around 9 at The Cookery and cars just kept flowing in. After Breakfast, we headed over to the yard where it seemed everybody found what they were looking for. Unfortunately Karl had a bad experience with the owner of the yard who thought his stuff was worth a lot more than what it should. Karl, I don't think you were the only one of us who he tried to overcharge. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. Unfortunately, most of his inventory is slowly being eliminated. He had a total of 4 fox thunderbirds, all of which were '87-'88 TC's and 2 fox Cougars. One 4-eye Turbo XR-7 and one '87-'88 LS. This was a dissapointment and a far cry from what he had last time I was there. He managed to keep all of his Lincolns though as well as dozens of fox Mustangs. I did find that the yard had some cars you usually don't find. I saw 5 '55-57 Bel Airs, 3 complete Corvairs, about 5 Jaguar Xjs' and a couple Porsche 924's. All of these cars with the exeption of the Bel Airs could easily have been fixed. One of the Jags looked like it would start right up and drive out. All that was wrong with it was a broken gear selector. The most heartbreaking for me was a 1969 Cutlass 442 that had been totaled and still held it's original motor and all the badging.Once we left the yard we headed back to The Cookery and some parted ways while Rick, Thain and myself headed up to the car show at the Fox Run Shopping Center. The show had a pretty good turn out of around 100 cars considering the Ocean City show and Kahunaville show were going on at the same time. There I met a guy who had a '93 Cougar XR-7 5.0 Supercharged. His car was super clean and he said he was thinking about joining Cool Cats. We'll see what happens there. I have more pictures that I'll put up later but here's a couple links and two of my pics. Thanks to everyone who attended!I would also like to extend an additional thanks to The Lincoln Mark VII club for supplying refreshments and to Rick, One Way for aiding in the organization of this event.The day in picturesBreakfast meetJunkyard run Quote Selected

Reply #23 – May 21, 2006, 11:19:13 PM Looks like a good time....I went my junkyard over the weekend and I asked if I could buy those "plugs" that go over the screws on the door handle and for a seatbelt cover thingy since mine for some reason is brown? hmm..they told me 100 for both things. I laughed and told them to stick it up their .....Looks like you guys had a blast. Thanks for the pics :) Quote Selected
