2013 DETROIT AUTORAMA.. Goin', Showin' ?

You boys didn't drink enough "medicine" over the weekend. Now you'll know better for next year!

 

How is your daughter doing? Did she see a doctor and if she did can you tell me what he thought she had ?I don't think I'm ever going to shake this...

 

the momma came home and was sick within a day,,,doc said it was streph throat..and ya she's still sick..told her i could swab it for her

 

It was goin around Ron, in addition to being violently ill on sat, monday evening I started coughing and sweating, I made it until thurs night before I spent a solid two days in bed with flu symptoms. Richie was also coming down with the same thing a day before me.

 

My daughter's back to work, she had a very sore throat. Now my grandson is down, he has a very bad cough, doc says it's the croup. He has missed the last few days of school. Doc said he can probably return to school Thursday. So far I feel Ok

 

Hey Andy, wasnt Saturdays "flu" self enduced????

 

That's the best one yet Frank.

One of the big thrills for me at this year's Autorama was to have the roadster chosen as one of the celeb's pick on Saturday evening. Just so happens that he was Roy Brizio. How cool is that for a kid from Thunder Bay...

ron it deserves to be picked...really liked it at the show,,,,sweet roadster

 

Thanks, I really appreciate that !!!
Ron

 

Here is one of my favorite pictures of the roadster at the 2013 Detroit Autorama. I must have given my seminar on Riley Two Port heads and other banger stuff at least 200 times during the weekend. I appreciated the interest in my effort to bring something a bit different to the show.

"I have been wondering if anyone else brought home a rotten cold from the Autorama like Myles and I did ? My doctor said I have a viral infection and have been under the weather since returning home. One hell of a way to finish off an amazing time at the show and thanks to all that made it so memorable.."

I bought home a rotten hangover and probably need another liver transplant...
Damn basement.

Hey Ron and Myles...it might be time for a '2014' thread, eh ?

Just completed the last leg of the Detroit Autorama Experience with the Ghost Rider Roadster. When Myles and I left Detroit after The Greatest Show on Earth in March, we returned the whole package again into storage just outside of London. After this was done I flew back to Thunder Bay (sicker than a dog). On June the 13th my wife and I flew back to London to celebrate my Birthday and Father's Day. On the 26th we drove the package back to Thunder Bay via Sarnia, Mackinaw City, Superior Wisc. then up the north shore of Lake Superior to home. We made a three day mini vacation of the ride back which was great except for the one hour, I- 75 roadside wait, for the torrential rain storm to pass. One heck of an experience !!!
We brought the roadster to London last September for a Street Rodder photo shoot then it went into storage waiting for "The Show", so it is nice to have it home again! On the trip home, my wife asked me if it was worth all of the effort ? What do you think my response to her question was ?

Ron, You were in Sarnia? That was right across the river from our house in MI.
Wish I would have known. I'd have bought steaks!

 

Oh, now you tell me
Maybe next time...
Ron

 

I finally unloaded the hardware from the Detroit Autorama the other day being very careful not to give myself another hernia. I used the chain fall in the shop to remove the celebrities choice (Roy Brizio) from it's carrying container. Have you ever won a trophy that you needed to do that ? Anyway I am still in one piece but I have a feeling that Joan is not going to want it displayed on our coffee table in the living room....
