Hi Michelle,
Maybe you will remember this from the Salem International Rally. There is vintage and vintage People with a great sense of humor!

"bear" or "smokey the bear" = trooper
"full blown bear" = trooper with his lights on
"bear taking pictures" = radar trap
"bear in the woods" = speed trap
"do you have your ears on" = question to a fellow CBer asking if their CB is turned on

They also call each other "Driver". I wonder what they call those of us driving "4 wheelers".

Yes I do remember this! You are right these folks have a fantastic sense of humor. Hey, I wonder where I can get one of those signs? I'd love to sneak out at night during a rally and place it in front of another rally attendees rig.....

ok, perhaps I am just dense...but I can't quite figure out just what this sign is supposed to denote...

are they doing the "bunny hop", or something?

The winner of the "East Coast VAC Rally" the Antique White drawing below. Just to let everyone one know, I'm working on shirts both in the "Antique White/On black shirts" and the "Blue Print/on white shirts".

But the "official" logo is the white. Below I'm post an image so it can be place on the forums left side links area. I had to resize it for this post.


Looks to be good time so far.

Hello Paul. I like the original graphic and your intention to make up t-shirts, etc. I do think compressing it makes it too difficult to read as a rally image for the portal page. Does working off an image like this next one make any sense?


Another thing that is not clear is whether this is a VAC-member-only rally or an open AIR Forums rally. Help me out there if you would. Thanks!

Other readers -- please hold off signing up for this rally at this point. Paul and I are working to get a rally link into the portal page left border rotation. That must be done before signups start. Thanks for your patience.

How open? non Vac WBCCI members, non vintage forum members, non members of VAC, WBCCI or forums with vintage, non members of VAC, WBCCI, or forums new Airstreams, WDCU non VAC, etc., etc., VAC but not vintage, vintage but not VAC, or SOB buddies? I think I forgot a some combinations.

You crack me up Chuck. If I do find one of these to purchase I'm thinking your Airstream will be my first late night placement.

[Chuck]

Bahhh!!! thats the problem with you young whipper-snappers today: no respect for your elders.


(for those of you who don't know...Michelle is old enough to be my...um....WAY older sister. yeah, thats it!)

ok, seriously...I couldn't make out the cane in the posted pic; without the cane, it looks like people doing the bunny hop, to me. sorry.

WAY older sister! Hey I'm just 9 years older than you. I'm telling Earl that you are picking on me.......

That would be my understanding....

The only single most obvious thing in the whole VAC club that a non-vintage trailer could not participate in - is the Concourse Judging. And even then - RULES can be changed to have an open category - and hell lets just say have a new trailer with the best looking vintage item inside - whether it be inanimate or human or semi human Now that is thinking OUTSIDE the BOX...Cause you know - ALL of Wally's Airstreams were NEW when he was around!!!!!

[rideair]

With March coming up in a few weeks, soon will be the time for "ANYONE" who owns a Airstream to come and enjoy the "East Coast VAC Rally". So what does this mean. To take a post from "Wheel Interested"

How open? non Vac WBCCI members, non vintage forum members, non members of VAC, WBCCI or forums with vintage, non members of VAC, WBCCI, or forums new Airstreams, WDCU non VAC, etc., etc., VAC but not vintage, vintage but not VAC, or SOB buddies? I think I forgot a some combinations.

So, going back to my very first post:

"My thought is this, in an "attempt" to please everyone:

Sign up for the rally is open to only "WBCCI" members until "March 1, 2008". On "March 1, 2008" the rally is open to "ALL" Airstream owners .

I do want to make a (personal) offer to all "non-WBCCI" owners out their that have a vintage Airstream trailer (25 yrs or older) that would like to attend. If you have a need/want to use the early "WBCCI" sign-up option, if you sign-up for the WBCCI before "March 1, 2008", "I will pay" the added $20.00 dues to become a member of the "VAC" for the first year! But, you "must" attend the rally and "must" become a "WBCCI" member "prior" to March 1, 2008. At the rally, we will fill out the "VAC" paperwork and send it in with a check from "my checkbook"!!!

I can't do anymore than that!!""


So the bottom line is this, if you are someone that likes laid back camping, a little fun, a field trip to "Trailer Buff", campfires, etc.... come on down!

Oh darn I just paid the $20 to the VAC. If I had only waited a few more weeks I would have more money to spend on the trailer!! I've been persuading the hubby about coming to this rally and I really hope I win. I would love to see the vintage units in person. I need lots of ideas on how to get the 56 Overlander ready to roll.

[rideair]

Rhonda,

Since I like to live my by the old saying:

"An honest mans pillow is his peace of mind"

If you just signed up for the WBCCI and the VAC, you have a $20.00 dollar bill coming your way if you make it to the rally!!

Just signed up. Sounds like this will be an interesting event. I am currently working on a 85 Sovereign 25'...but will try to finish a 67 Globe Trotter by then. I will decide later which to bring. It's finally got warm enough to polish. I am into this polishing job 54 hrs. so far with approx. 30 more to finish.

Looking forward to putting a face with some of these Forum members.

Here are a few of the trailers my wife and I have restored:

That's a great offer but not necessary! How about you buy me a drink if we make it!!!!

This is confusing.
So, is it safe to say it is open for anyone in March???

[rideair]

On March first, come one, come all,
With your large trailer or the small.

We are looking forward to having you there,
You can show up in a Blue Beret or just your underwear.

Lets just hope the weather is fine
With all the people signing up, I’m sure we’ll have a good time,

Some will live close, others far,
Some will show up with their Vintage Car.

For me in life, it’s one of my dreams,
So see old cars pulling vintage Airstreams.

It doesn’t matter if your trailer has colors of gray or blue,
As long as it’s an Airstream, we want you there too.

If you want to come, sign up quick,
Wait to long, you’ll get the short-end of the stick.

So, you may ask, “What are you trying to say son?”
WBCCI or Forums, new or old, you’re welcome to come and have fun!




HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE (WBCCI, VAC, FORUMS, NEW/OLD) THERE!!

Love the verse.

Our WBCCI dance card for 2008 is too full for us to attend this rally. I know a number of NEU members will be there to party down. Have enough fun for me too!
