Sorry kids.

Due to the fact that Turbo Lou, Andrew Graziani, Neal Stewerd, Mean Chicken and a few more don't have Turbo Buicks yet, We need to push this thing back.

The Corona thing was kinda a factor too. Let's have an intervention and pressure these back sliding traders into returning to their Turbo Buick roots so we can spool this planet back up again.

I'm still looking for another Turbo Regal. I did buy a Park Avenue Ultra the other day. Does this count? :rolleyes: Hopefully by August the pandemic will have blown over. We don't want to put our "Senior" members like Lou and Nick in harms way for a car show. :p

Just saw my old car is up for sale. I am going to have to see if I can pull some cash and buy it back....
 
I believe you need to add Reggie West Sr. To that list! He called me back in December and said he was out of TRs and had a new Hellcat red eye! .....
 
Hey Mike,

Any updates on the show? I'm beginning to wonder if it will need to get postponed again since the Covid 19 infection rates are going up again. :rolleyes: I'm still working on buying another Turbo Regal too. I looked at one last weekend but didn't buy it. The guy sold it to a fella in Simi Valley named Nick. I wonder if he's on the board?

More on this in the next day or two.
 
It looks like there is a good chance that we will have to push the event back again. The person that handles the scheduling at Bates is out of town.
Eric and I have been talking and should have some news in the next few days.
 
New Date for Bates Nut Farm car show is November 8th.
Good thing we did long sleeve event shirts this year. ;)
 
Hope it will miss all my rescheduled races? They were all pushed to Oct & Nov! ....

Were you going to look at a GN or T-type? (what color?)
Im in Simi so ill keep an eye out for 'em.
Glad your looking for a turbo car. the Ultras are nice cruzin' SC couches but dont count as a Turbo Buick. :)

Hi Drew,

The car that ended up in Simi Valley was originally a gun metal grey '87 Turbo T Regal. The seller was under the impression that it was a Limited but it isn't. It had been repainted with a poor quality black paint job from the 90's which didn't hold up well and looks terrible. It has T tops and bench seat / column shift. It needs lots of love, I know the guy who bought it got it running but I doubt it's registered and driving yet. Let me know if you see it! :cool:
