Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

[Spicy]

Looks as though I won't be making it this year. Going to need to run up to the U.P. that weekend to help send off an old Marine (my Uncle) in the style that he wanted.

Mark my words though, team michigandon WILL be back next year...bigger and badder than ever!

I will miss having you at the rally.

So the rally is three months away. Time to put the old leg out on the corner. I hope to make than the 40 dollars I made last year. LOL

Squirt-truck told us you wanted the position, we've been offroad with you and we know you're competent and safe, so congratulations on the promotion. We'll have a small ceremony at the HQ tent where we smear some mud on your shirt and a marching band will play.

I thought we broke a bottle of beer over his front bumper, and said "GO FORTH"

 

[swbradley1]

I hope it is an empty bottle............

Georgia on my mind: Czech Connection attending????

Several things have come together really nice for this to happen, but I am seriously considering trying to attend somehow this year.

The bad thing is, I now have to start read this thread from the beginning and also all the earlier media threads on this as recommended in post #2, to figure out why.


Whatever,

Don't know how your planning to travel but I've got plenty of camping gear I could loan if it would make your trip easier?

Robo, there will be plenty of folks there to take care of you. First drink is on me.

And the second on me. You will also experience some exceptional Southern Cookin'.

And he gets to try the special cherries.

Anyone near ATL that might get him a ride could potentially help also.

 

[papabear]

All we need is a schedule and I betcha our friend from across the "big pond" gets taken care of.

..... I am seriously considering trying to attend somehow this year...

Hey Robo, yes that's the way: that's what I do every year, around this time... and it usually works out fairly well, somehow...
You have been on here long enough. Now it's time to put some faces to names!

Some of these jokers have a face for radio, or as I like to say, a face only a mother would love.

 

[amgeneral72]

Im coming out of north Atlanta. If I can help Roob let me know.

The capo’s and consigliere of the GA Mafia have already extended an urgent invitation, hard (and unwise) to resist.

Travel itinerary. Flying to the states only for the GA rally seems a bit a waste of opportunity; might as well get some more out of it. I will try to get together also with some military historians and some other knowledgeable people who know more about the history of the engineers in Europe and about the storage depots during the cold war, to get good data for our Cold War exhibition. And do some fund raising for that project and our Czech Emigration Museum.

I might fly into NY or Chicago late September and then work my way down to GA and Florida.

In 1980, when I first came to the USA, I somehow found this company where you can drive the car of somebody else across the USA. Took a brand new Mercedes from NY harbor docks to Harrisburg in one day and then an old Toyota Land Cruiser J40 with a small trailer and a rebuilt engine from there to Seattle. Took me 6 days, sleeping in the back of the jeep between all these large rigs and eating in these truck rest stops along Interstate 90; best time of my life.

The company still exist (http://www.autodriveaway.com) so maybe I can do that again.

Nothing fixed yet, I am still in the planning stage. Thanks for all the fun remarks and offers for help. I’ll keep adding info or questions as more things become clear.

Just a word of warning Robo...once you are a GA Mafia "made man" at the GA Rally you will achieve "Imperial GA Mafia Status".

 

[Robo McDuff]

Should I get scared and take some extra underpants?

Naw...we're a bunch of old softies!

 

[Tinwoodsman]

GA Mafia guys do not wear underpants Robo. It is a sign of toughness.
