2010 Northwest 4-Eye BBQ August 28th.

[Carography]

We brought one last year and we will bring 2 this year!

[NAVYCAT]

Hey Neil, have you decided about doing a drive/cruise during the BBQ? I still say all 50+
4 eyes heading down the freeway would be quite a sight.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I was talking to fantom 2 nights ago about that...example...meet at the rest stop and spill onto the freeway for 6 miles then back roads with no stoplights...total of 15 or 20 miles of pretty roads...just a thought.

[NAVYCAT]

well that sounds great, a good country drive on great country roads.....
and Neil i did fix that problem with the carb we talked about and i just changed the heater core (5hr job)...TOASTY! and i removed the whole assembly to clean it and sure glad i did as the fan and the condensor side was FULL of stuffing and other crap for a rats nest

Hey Neil

Registration will be in the mail Fri July 2nd..

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Perfect !! I knew you would make it. As a side note, I found a new owner for an 80 Capri yesterday, and they will also be there.

[NAVYCAT]

Neil my registration will be sent out soon, also my buddy who bought my 84 RS is coming aswell, he is driving from kansas/texas (active duty army) to meet me then we are driving up north together. he has put a killer motor in the 84.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Outstanding Joe, what about the 2 guys that are close to you that rescued the tan Capri from the JY and blew the motor a week from the BBQ last year, can you find them too ?

[NAVYCAT]

i will be in santa barbara on the 8th for a dr's appointment and i'll stop by their place to talk to them.

I'm not sure if we'll make it this year. I am unemployed right now, and I'm hoping the office will call with another contract for me. I am going to send registration though and tell the wife to book the weekend off. so keep your fingers crossed

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Hey Snake, got your Registration today...many thanks.

[Snake]

Good Deal,thanks Bud..

[WHTLTHR79RS]

So I am writing out invites today and in the process of going through all of my 3 x 5 index cards with the names and info of fellow 4-eye owners, I have tossed out 62 cards for reasons like: moved, sold, no replies for 3 years, crashed cars, passed away, ect. Then I understood that this little gathering is the very thing we all need to keep the Fox cars popular. The cars need us just as much as we need them. I still have in excess of 200 contacts, and more will be traveling long distances this year. I have replaced the 62 tossed with 41 new contacts in the last year....that's the way it works. Time is midnight, fourty-four. Night.

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Joe, I got your registration in the mail today, now see if you can drag along a half dozen others with you....or more.

Why didn't I think to fill out a registration when I stopped by on Monday? Doh!!

I'll get a registration in the mail to you this weekend.

Jerry

(Registration is on the way.)

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I mailed out 46 registrations today, only got 144 more to go, plus the ones that have contacted me on hotmail that I have not made cards on yet....kind of makes up for the 60+ I tossed out.

[At1Maverick69]

Second year in a row that I got an invite and this time around i'll be in the Philippines.. I hope to make it next year with you guys. Have fun all!

[Vannnce]

Will definitely be there Neil even though i just talked to you.
(With my fancy new soon-to-be 302 swap)

[WHTLTHR79RS]

I mailed out another 31 forms today, only 113 to go. You all check out vannnce's ride this year, he's been working on it.

[OldsRocket442]

I ran into Vance at the Bronco board we're on. He's the 2nd cousin of one of my co-workers. Looking forward to seeing his car in person.

[mercuryzephyrz7]

Zephyrs and 'monts allowed too???

[WHTLTHR79RS]

If you look at the 2009 pictures in the big red link below, you will see a young man with his white Capri called "Parking lot hot rod", that would be my younger son, who owned at the time a beater Fairmont that was decorated with duct tape and a shoe box for a hood scoop. I did not let that one in the field. The day after the 2009 BBQ, he bought a 78 Mont 4dr. that is a real survivor, and sold the Capri, so you will have company. I will park you two at the end of the field, pointing at the rest of the line up. You will be in the "official field", however, the count of 4-eye cars reported will be Capri, Mustang, SVO. If you want to attend, send me a PM with your full name, mailing address, and contact number and I will get the registration to you in the mail. I have seen your pics, and the car is very nice.

Neil,

Looks like I will finally be able to make it this year. Now I need to get the beast cleaned up and fix a few things so it is presentable. Look forward to meeting everyone, seeing some nice cars and going for a cruise. Reg will be in the mail soon.

Ivan

[WHTLTHR79RS]

Perfect Ivan, just don't cut the car in two again before the BBQ, OK ???

[ford005]

I need to drop the trans to replace the bearing retainer and clutch to get rid of an annoying rattle, but you never know what that will lead to, LOL!
