QUOTE(tumamilhem @ Apr 29 2014, 08:50 AM)  True Story: 28 April 2014 While hovering over and closely observing 6" from our actual, original Constitution of the United States, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights with my brother at the National Archives in Washington DC, my phone rings. It's my little cousin John in Grosse Point (Detroit). Me: "Hey buddy! How are you? My brother just told me last night you got engaged! Congratulations!" John: "Yeah! Thanks man! That's actually why I was calling you! I would be so honored if you came to the wedding! I really want you to be there!" Me: "Of course! I'll definitely be there for you! Any idea when it will be?" John: "Yeah, actually we have a date set - September 26." ... Me: "Uh...actually I have something on September 26." My bother: "Shut up. You don't have something on September 26. That's like 5 months from now." Me: "Actually, I do. It's that big 914 event I invited you to come to in the Smokey Mountains. It's the 40th anniversary of my car the LE Can Am. They're extremely rare to begin with and there's only a handful left in the world and they're trying to get as many possible left in the country to come." (Deep breath) Me: "Don't worry, John. I wouldn't miss it. I'll definitely be there and really looking forward to it, buddy." So... unless someone has come up with a way to teleport me and my car, I guess there will be one less Creamer at Okteenerfest. I've been looking forward to this since last year, especially with the 40th anniversary. I'm really dying to go, but family first. I hate that I'm going to miss this and seeing you guys and other Can Ams together. Sad to say, it looks like me and 'Valentine' won't be able to make it (again). I wish Okteenerfest was in Oktober. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) With that said, if the Talley Ho Lodge is booked up, there will be another room available soon as I'll (with much reluctance and regret) have to cancel my reservation. I'm going to try to see if there's anyway I can do both, but it's highly unlikely. I'd still like to get a Can Am t-shirt if possible. Even though I can't go. Maybe I can buy just the shirt without registering since I can't go? Please let me know. Sorry again, guys. Valentine and I will miss you. Because this is an important event, and I feel it is important to Valentine, I am willing to travel to FL and bring the car to the show. I am helping organize the event so you can trust me to return it! Like in 20 years maybe. What a great car. |

**********UPDATE**************
This past weekend, Nadine and I scouted out the route and met Steve up at the hotel. A few notes: - The route should be a lot of fun!! A little less quantity of driving than last year, but better quality than even what we planned for (until the govn't screwed us) and much easier to follow - nobody should get lost!!! ****YES WE WILL BE DRIVING TAIL OF THE DRAGON AGAIN***** And the Foothills Parkway, and through Great Smoky Mountain National Park - which we didn't last year.... - Lunch will be in Bryson City, NC. There are a lot of options for lunch, but none are big enough to accommodate all of us, so we're really going to have to emphasize that people split up and explore this nice little town and find a lunch spot. It's only a few blocks long total, so no big deal. Parking is a bit of an issue too - there are lots all over, but none big enough for all of us... A very detailed map of the town will be provided with lunch spots and parking area, so don't worry... - The Tally Ho Inn is nice!! We stayed in one of the "original 8" rooms (see the first post on this thread) and it was really nice. Small yes, but all new furniture, very clean, nice bed, hardwood floors, etc. Would certainly stay in one again! - The hotel has HUGE fields for us to park and display our cars. Almost too big (seriously). Ample parking for tow vehicles and trailers for those that plan to trailer their car, Everything is all together and close by so very easy to get around the property. - Currently, the plan is for a casual BBQ in the field on Friday night after the drive, then use the adjoining Carriage House Restaurant for the Saturday night dinner/awards. they have a private room for us, unless we are too many then they'll close the whole restaurant for just us!! Dinner will be a really good Country style all-you-can-eat buffet. More details as we get closer. At the moment, over half of the hotel is booked with 914 event people!! So...make your reservations quick if you don't want to be left out or staying down the road. We hope to have Registration open soon, so be ready. To get you excited.. here's a little video I did from driving Tail of the Dragon last year..Sit back, relax and enjoy Psychedelic Dragon... http://vimeo.com/73664429 - |

Done, reservation made! I enjoyed making this trip in 2010 with Mistress, my 1973 teener, and this bunch of gearheads. She is an almost all original with 54K miles, but is now at the paint shop for a repaint in beautiful Delphi Green. I just couldn't stand watching any more of the old clearcoat peel off, so at least the same color will be "almost original."

I tried to do the registration thing, but I can't. We want to bring two cars, but the registration form won't let us. How do we do one registration, but with TWO 914s? |
