HEY Guy's need to know if it's alright to post photo's of your car's with your plate numbers on them or should I blurr them out?
We had lots of fun meeting today at the "chicken Shack".And yes it was snowing.I thought it was a pretty good turnout.There were nine Marauder"s and one C/V Sport and two other cars I believe?
Look for the PHOTO'S in the Photo Gallery later tonight.:D

Okay with me Gary, I've given out my office TX here, plate number's no sweat.

I think it was a great afternoon, weather aside. Can't remember everyone's name just yet, but if you were there, please log in here?

Hey Slowpoke thank you for the pads, really nice man!
I am trying to post our dinner picture at Del's but the site says it is too big.
Any ideas?

Slowpoke

use photoshop or equivalent and change DPI from 300 to 72 - that should shrink the file size so you can load it.

Slowpoke can you send me your email ID? Maybe you can get the file size down. I am not having any luck!

By golly, I think there is one or two left out this way. I know for a fact that there are two A&W Root Beer Stands still around too!

Ya know, the one thing you're gonna miss out on in our next MM owner's meet, is that Del Rhea's Chicken Basket is on old Route 66, the pavement is still there, and you can drive on it! Great backdrop for the photos of a genuine American muscle car!

02-27-2003, 03:42 PM
Well if I had more vacation time I'd love to come.......from here I could catch the 66 in San Berdoo and drive it all the way there:coolman:

shoot--almost ALL of our drive-ins are gone...real estate too valuable and Blockbusters too common....our only A&Ws are in the big malls(it's not the same) and the closest Sonic Drive-in is 150 miles away(near Disneyland--one of the only ones in California)

oh yeah...........no White Castles

LincMercLover
02-27-2003, 03:59 PM
We've got one updated drive in, and two A&W stands around here...

jefferson-mo
02-27-2003, 04:03 PM
The closest operating A&W 'drive-in' that I know of is in Paso Robles which is 400 miles away:eek:

Kids are okay if you cook them right,LOL,well behaved kids are fine with me. I was a single parent from the time my son was 9 months old,if he wasn't welcome I wasn't either. BTW,does the little guy like Hot Wheels cars,if they're safe for him to have I've got some duplicates he's welcome too. I'll save some for Slowpokes "twins" too.
