Carlisle 2014

I know it's only just ended, but we're ALL looking forward to the next one, same as every year.

 

 

May 16-18 2014

 

 

 

Someone had to start it. And can we please avoid any intervention from the Golf Cart Police this year lol?

 

I'll be the first to RSVP. May be bringing my own keg this time as well, to help the Brickerator out.

Did You Bring Your Kids To Carlisle?

I missed out this year due to circumstances beyond my control. Next year im not missing it but i think i want to bring my son. He will be 4 years old. So im looking for some tips here on how other parents handled it. Here are a few questions.
1. Camping or hotel?
2. Where did you camp or what hotels are decent but mildly priced neat the event?
3. Anything that is clearly not family friendly i should avoid?
4. What did you spend for the event not including travel costs?

Carlisle 2013

Alright so here are some pictures I took while at the Carlisle show. I talked to a few people, some of which I know are Turbobricks members. I am not the most outgoing person out there, my name is Greg by the way, so I did more looking than talking but nevertheless here are some pics from the event. If any of these are your cars feel free to comment, it's nice to put a name with a car. Enjoy. Also anyone else who has pics feel free to add them if you want.

Alright so first off here is my car (to put the name with the car):


And now with the Volvo content:










I loved this wagon







And a little non-Volvo content just because:

Have always loved the datsun Z's








Pretty cool Saab Sonett with turboed V4



Hope you enjoyed!

Anyone From Northern California Going To Carlisle?

If you are, I have a set of 4 Comets that I want to trade for Meteors with another member that will be at the event.  I would compensate you for the effort, of course.

 

Please let me know since the event is approaching.

NYC / Tri-state area morning caravan to Carlisle 2013

Hi all tri-staters.
My buddies and I are meeting up in Brooklyn at 5:30 AM on Saturday the 18th of May to caravan to Carlisle.

Pictured below is the rest stop off the Belt Parkway. 5:30AM Sharp since we like to stop for breakfast, pick people up etc...this will get us to Carlisle by 10AM. If you prefer, you can also meet us on 4th Avenue and 96th Street (see map below - we'll be passing by it)


This is our driving path - figure out where we could meet and we could do it. Just post a convenience off-the-highway adderss and we'll make it happen.

We are taking 95S towards Trenton, then 276 West, which turns into 76 West.
If you want to meet up along the route, give me the address and we could make stops to collect you guys.
