Who's going to Bonneville?
« on: June 09, 2009 4:21 pm »
Been throwing it around.....again! Just wondering who is all going from around here.  Tom, I think you're going. Right?  Heard a few other on here talking about it.  I checked on rooms and there still seem to be a "few" left.  Most seem to be scarfed up already.  Thought about camping at the bend but don't own a camper and tenting for a week doesn't sound all that great.  Just so I have the dates correct.  They are Aug. 17-21.  If this isn't correct let me know. Thanks in advance.

they may not make a 20 second pit stop but they seem pretty persistant and are surely are  some resourcefull craftsmen

they told us
« Reply #6 on: June 11, 2009 6:38 am »
that they were going to help a couple of other people out

they have a 68 to 72 Chev bus with diesel power and will be living in it on the salt
should be painted a blue color  it was under destruction a couple weeks ago but many bodies were slowing putting it together for the trip to Bonne
thats all I know
technology may have escaped these guys, the guy we got the car from did not even have axcess to a cell phone, but could build a quite decent car with a minimum of tools and money
