Mitch//pa · 02-16-2015, 07:44 PM

dang i can't make it again this year either

i have my son inlaw's graduation from medical school

can't miss that...
hopefully next year
i really enjoyed it 2 years ago and highly recommend it, a first class event to attend

KGBnut · 02-16-2015, 10:08 PM

I'll be there. Still my favorite show every year.

Just one thing, double-check your dates. This year Saturday is the 9th. I'm assuming you meant to say the rain date Sunday the 10th.

Can't wait!

It is hard to think about a car show when I look outside and see the snow piled so high.

C26Pinelake · 02-17-2015, 07:57 AM

I personally search out this type of show where the cars and parts must meet pre 1931 or specific criteria. I don't go to these shows to search thru handbags and baby rattles to find Model A Parts. Congratulations to the organizers.

Hoping to make it this year! Not sure I'll get my car there though. It's in northeast CT. I drove my car to Milford last year and it took me about 5 hours (with an hour break along the way). I wasn't in a hurry, so I could probably speed it up a little, but I'd have to leave super early still.

1931 flamingo · 04-07-2015, 06:45 PM

Get over tto 84 to rte 8 south to Ansonia/derby.

You'd take yours down Rt 8? That terrifies me! I'm used to driving the quiet corner, with mostly two lane, 45 mph roads.

Are you driving down from New Britain?

1931 flamingo · 04-08-2015, 12:51 PM

Mitch and jojo: Yes, if things pan out. Car still in garage. Need to charge the batt(I think). Been busy at work.
Paul
jojo: I do 45-50 in the right lane. Waterbury downtown is the worst as it's a left hand exit.

Let's see how the next few weeks go, but if I can find a way to get it over this side of the river and it's running well, we can maybe cruise down together (if you're interested). Safety in numbers! I'll let you know if I think she can make it to the show.

ryanheacox · 04-23-2015, 03:47 PM

I was really looking forward to going this year but unfortunately I'll be in Maryland that weekend for an SAE mini baja competition.

Nice pics. But when the title said T&A I didn't think about Fords. Tells you where my mind is.

T&A shows are always nice, regardless of what kind they are.

Bob Bidonde · 04-23-2015, 06:07 PM

Next year, the good Lord willing, I will be there.

pgerhardt · 04-24-2015, 10:55 AM

I have isolated the Ford Barn logo. If you want you could print it out on label paper and stick it on your jacket to identify yourself as a member.

I was going to vend with a friend this year, but Tom broke his hip. It sux getting old! So he will be out of action for a while. My A still has no rear fenders (and tail lights) since I don't want to put them back on until I have refinished the back of the car, but I might just take my F-150 up. If I can't sell I might as well buy!

rowens55 · 04-24-2015, 11:41 AM

A good "T&A" show?!? Hummmm, reminds o my time in the Corps, after hours, o cold one!?! ......ahh, good times!!!!!

Sorry, couldn't hep maself!!!

Cider Mill · 05-07-2015, 06:11 PM

The weather looks perfect! Bring your A or AA!

2manycars · 05-08-2015, 05:28 AM

I was realling looking forward to this show, but I am not strong enough yet to drive that far. I can hope for next year.

1931 flamingo · 05-08-2015, 07:40 PM

Bill: Hang in there ! !
If I had read this this morning I would have offered to get you in a modern car.
Maybe just as well, stay home, rest and get better ! ! ! Hopefully someone there to take and post pictures.

Paul

2manycars · 05-08-2015, 08:05 PM

Thanks Paul, but my trip to and from the VA hospital in West Haven wore me out today, and I was not driving. I am mending, but it will be a few mmore weeks until I am up to long trips.

1931 flamingo · 05-09-2015, 05:39 AM

OK Bill. The main thing is to get better.
