No sponsor salesmanship advice ???
I have some appointments today. This is a big part of free.
Ehhhh, I have been winging this whole thing anyway. I can pull this off also. Advice will help.

If you are selling something for us....let the person you are talking to know that the vast majority of the Fiero people are very loyal once they find a good dealer/vendor. Word can spread rapidly once a few of us find a product that we like.

Cliff,

I t/w Jazzman yesterday, and he will not be coming to this Ruckus.

I also t/w Loyde. His schedule is such right now that his is not certain he can attend.
He did seem genuinely pleased that you wanted to make sure that he was personally invited.

If I heard correctly, I think PC and her bf will attending.

I have booked a room, if it works out that someone needs a roommate, LMK, and I will cancel my reservation.

-edit-
Your attendees list has Doug Goldsby down 2x. He's a nice guy... but I think I can only handle one of him around
and JohnF is last name spelled 'Fussell'

For those that know me, they know I would rather take an a$$ whoopin than wear a tie. At least I did not take an a$$ whoopin in a tie. I had a good day. It was frustrating but I always expect that. It was also encouraging. I again girded the lions tonight and went back out on the sell trail. Without a tie, . Today...offers hope.
Gee guys, this is fun.

I will await official notice in this, the official thread, .

Hellol All;

Been a little out of sorts lately. I guess I let my job and a little medical get the best of me. I will be there Saturday and Sunday. Whitten Inn confirmed. Sharon may come up for a little with two of the Grandchildren, just depends. We have Grandchildren sitting duty for our Daughter and SIL from Tyler that weekend. Mostly it will be just me. Please come Revin so you and I can hang! I know you want to swing with the old timer....if you can keep up!

Thanks to Cliff and Scott for keeping me in the loop despite myself. Any T-SHIRTS? I will take two of XL. Need Ruckus shirts!

DARKWING,

Mike, you have a PM...in a minute.

I am not a rally veteran but...I see newbs, .
Hazing comes to mind, .

quote Originally posted by cliffw: jccott1, I have you down as coming in a 87 GT. I think I guessed at that. Update the facts for posterity. For the archives, .

His car is an 88 GT

I thought it was in paint.
He said something like maybe only his Indy might be running.
It may have changed, I dunn know.

Looks like one heck of a good time, wish it was closer so I could attend.

Never, never do anything or wear things that you don't want to have to explain to Paramedics, it can get very embarassing. They talk!

Thats all I know.
C'mon peeps, I want specs. Give me others specs if you know them. My first post is gonna be viewed by potential sponsors.

Hey, cliffw, I'm parting out a fully loaded GT (not the one in the accident) and it's got a good d-side mirror. If you'd like it, you can have it. If anyone needs parts as well, I may have 'em. Help moleman get his car on the road

T-SHIRTS = OLD THANG....BLACK IN COLOR = TRADITION..........WITH POCKETS = NEW THANG!

COOL, NOW I WILL HAVE A PLACE FOR MY POCKET PROTECTOR THANG! OR ALL THAT LINT STUFF I BEEN KEEPING IN MY JEAN"S POCKETS.

OF ALL THE THINGS I HAVE LOST, I MISS MY MIND THE MOST!

HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.

On a serious note, I had my hard drive crash and lost lots of my AAFO contacts information. If you see this please send me a E-Mail so I can re-build the file. Send to fierose@gvtc.com. Ken, Heidi, Ron, Juston, Edith, Glen and others, all lost in cyberspace.

Isn't his an 85GT?

No no Blake drives a 98 Infinity Fiero lowerd with a big wing.
Oh yeah and Cliffw mine is an 86se if you want to change it I don't care.

quote Originally posted by fieroseblack: Any T-SHIRTS?

I have been mum on this.
EDIT
Blake had an altrernate powered Fiero I thought. I forget.
He called me yesterday but I was too busy to talk. I called him back but did not reach him. I will call him again today.
It was not Blake I wondered about. I want all the specs.

You and I have chased each other thousands of miles across this great nation... and you don't remember I drive an '88 black Formula?
Shame on you!

Cliff, sorry I missed your call, Jazzy & I were at supper and like an 80+ crotch rocket bike gang pulled into Cabana. It was crazy (and exciting)... like 13 cruisers showed up and started harassing the bikers... it was loud and cool all at the same time. Anyway, call me today when you get a chance (nothin' big, I just wanted to ask one more Q about the Ruckus 'distance' prize). Good luck with the carport. That should keep those hailstones at bay!

edit- to add year for Cliff's list

How could I ?
You were always behind me, .

quote Originally posted by cliffw: You did see I put you on the front page, .

Hah, thanks It has power mirrors, so it'll work for you. The only parts I need are a rear fastback fascia, a left taillight cover, and the red/amber colored section under the taillight cover (left as well)...

quote Originally posted by cliffw: Guys, I am gonna take one for the team.

I just took another one for the team, .
Wifey calls and says "there are a bunch of those little cars at the Inn of the Hills (swanky motel). They are having a car show".
So, I figure I will drive on up and enter, , . I get there and hung my head and tried to sneak off to a corner. I did not even try to get my A$$ handed to me. The show was for 1932 Fords only.
WOW .
Forty six thirty two fords. Truck style, roadster style, original condition. Wow. I spoke with the co-ordinator. There should be sixty three there tomorrow. The reason it is limited to only 32 Fords is because that was the first year of the V-8.
Feeling wounded I showed up at Culvers on an invite from Hill Country Auto Club. They have a show up gathering every Friday night. Tonight, I saw a 69 GTO, a 68 Camaro, a 56 T Bird, a 68 El Camino, a 38 (or something) Mercury, ....I should have made a list. Nice gathering.
Earlier today, I was selling our rally. That's how I got the invite. I am told we can have a 15% discount on munchies, They are delicious. The atmosphere (fellow car enthusiasts) is nice. I again got my A$$ handed to me but did get many compliments. I figure on Meet and Greet night, we will just flood the parking lot with.......
.......(CONTEST POINTS).......the correct guess of the # of Fieros that show up....
......FORTY ONE Fieros. (Forty one being my guess). Post your guess here to be eligible for points.
Also, I stopped in at R&B Classic Motors. To ask if they would bring a couple of cars to our show and shine. Their showroom is a virtual museum. I saw the difficulty of them picking some to exibit. I then asked if they would be uncomfortable with fifty people stopping in. This will be a DO NOT LEAN, DO NOT TOUCH visit. We will see. This would be at the beginning of the cruise.
I would be remiss if I did not suggest it.
EDIT
Culver's has Butter Burgers. Mmmmmm.....bacon upon request, .

We made out ok...just lost a few tree limbs.
But...still no electricity.Living on generator power.

Also,sad to say...looks like I won't be making the Ruckus.Other obligations are taking priority.

Is it me? Am I imagining this...or....did maryjane and Boondawg both disappear of the face of the forum at the same time?
Have they found bliss together ?
Are they one in the same ?
Going to Dallas Monday/Tuesday and then to Houston, down IH 45 and near Cleveland. I am gonna find maryjane.

Did someone say Beer?

I had the good luck to meet TXGOOD this morning . I met him about 2 hours between my house and his, to pick up some Gray Lace wheels.They had good tires with all of the lug-nuts and centercaps. Real nice guy. I traded him cash for the wheels. My wife said I could not buy any wheels, but that I could trade him something for them. You guys have to remember this one so you can use it in a bind if you need to!! Women what do they know of trades and cars?

Where are we to meet Saturday morning for the Show & Shine? I ask, as I will be driving over from Boerne in the Saturday am. I have had a couple of people ask me where, so they can come and take a gander and galk at the cars. You do not know what it is like until you have had your gander taken!

DARKWING,
aka Mike Parker

The Show & Shine is gonna be held at Louise Hays City Park. Under shade trees on the banks of the Guadelupe River at the corner of Hwy 16 and Spur 98. MapQuest level three or four of Kerrville will show it well.
The thing is, I asked the City Parks Dept. for permission to block off a corner. Well, they hem hawed about how they like to discourage car shows at the park. So, I asked to speak with a supervisor. I am still waiting for them to tell me no....
We have a beautiful public park. I pay taxes. You pay taxes. You don't pay Kerrville City taxes but it is not a Kerrville taxpayer park. It is a public park of which I help fund with my Kerrville City Taxes.
We are gonna have a show and shine at Louise Hays City Park. I expect an 8:00AM crowd factor of two or less, plus 41 Fieros, .

Guys, I need help with games. I will post the games on the front page. I will make the rules up as we go along, . I will also need help with making the point system. I hope to have some.....I should have some intermediate prizes but, I am gonna have a grand prize. The points winner winning the Grand Prize.
In a previous post, I mentioned a scavenger hunt type game. I will detail it on the front page. It is gonna take some time to figure it out though and I will tweak it up until the Wednesday before the Ruckus. Those rules will be final. Help me keep them sensible and fair.

Woah I'm only 25 I don't go to bed at 10pm like some of you old fokes I can't wake up that early. j/k

I'm turning 40 next month and I know you don't have to get up if you don't go to bed....just don't pass out while you drive.

So green87...new girlfriend yet?....Bringing her? If not I have someone for you to meet this friday........at the races.

Wow, they are right. Memory gets lost with old age. I forgot it is past my bed time, .
Ok, forty Fieros. I just don't know how you are gonna be able to make up for lost Scavenger hunt points.
There are winners, there are losers. .

Thanks for the update Stephen... The 88GT is presently up (new ign module and tach filter) and the Indy is down (ECM troubles). The chop top is in primer. By next month, who knows which one will be road worthy.
