Before any more time passes I want to thank everyone that was instrumental in pulling off the Allpar/Slant Six meet. It really was a fun time and I hope to come back next year. There was a nice variety of vehicles and everyone seemed to take an interest in each others’ rides. Probably the question that surprised me most was whether or not mine was a factory color - though it’s true I don’t see many Plum PT’s. This was the first show I’ve particpated in, but the ones I ’spectate’ at locally have many one or two ‘token’ Mopars, so to be surrounded by them was nice. We got to stay through the awards but unfortunately had to split before the raffles were done. Next year we’ll try to stay to the very end…
I really do recommend it, especially if you’ve never shown a car before. Dave advertised it as a ‘low pressure’ meet and it certainly was, If you’re in the Jersey area definitely consider attending, you’ll have fun. Plus, you’ll put faces to (screen) names that you’ve been chatting with here on Allpar!

Here’s the good news: today the Chrysler fleet people are dropping off a Caliber SRT-4, which will be with us until Monday.
Here’s the bad news: I’m going to be spending much of the day today getting tests and one day next week, at the moment not yet scheduled, in the hospital having some undesirable growths removed. The prognosis is currently good so all should be well, but what with going in and out of medical offices this week, work on the site has been slowed down. This will probably have an impact that shows up next week or the week after, but I thought you should be aware that if I’m not as responsive as usual, and if the updates aren’t as extensive, there’s a reason behind it.
In the meantime, site administration is being handled by the usual crew of extremely competent and helpful volunteers, including Stratuscaster and Bob O’Neill, and my Toolpack staff - all of her - will be on hand; and the web technical stuff is being handled by the insanely good support of Liquidweb.
By the way, we are building up a nice set of videos, and will be posting roughly one or two per week. Coming up next week, I hope - if I have time to edit - will be the Caliber SRT-4. Following that, we will have the A-100, delayed by one week; Bob O’Neill on budget restoration; and then if all else fails, we’ll go to the 300M and PT Cruiser GT. Along the way we have historical videos that we’re going to be posting.
