Barring some miraculous progress, the Rotus won't be done in time for this one. Hopefully for '23
Those looks like some good runs you have planned.

Jamador, you don't need a Seven to attend. We have always been open to all. Get some ideas. Make some new friends. I will say that the number of Locosts/sevens are dwindling at The Gathering. Last year we had a Jag a few MGB's (myself included), a Vette, a bunch of DF Globlins and more. I've even driven my Ford Escape once. It is a great driving and social event.

[JAMADOR]

Definitely true, but those drives probably aren't as enjoyable in a Malibu

Plus, a 12 hour drive each way. We drove to the KCMO area earlier this year for a wedding, long drive through a lot of nothing between Dallas/KC

[trialsmangasgas]

Those are not good dates for me. I was just wondering this morning if anyone was going to put one on. Russ

[FieroReinke]

dates are certainly negotiable. It wouldn't be the same without you Russ. Is the following weekend better? May 19-22.

[FieroReinke]

Jamador, as Chuck said, its a good chance to see other builds and get ideas. There may be open seats to go for rides or if someone is nice enough, to drive one. I will most likely have an open seat for most of the weekend as my wife usually stays with the kids.

I am also trying to get my brother to commit and bring his crazy TR8 and my local car club which has some interesting old cars.

[JAMADOR]

Not ruling out attending, depends on how the next few months go & what our schedule looks like around then.

[trialsmangasgas]

May19-22 is a lot better. I should be able to make that. Russ

[FieroReinke]

I revised the first post to May 19-22nd.

[FieroReinke]

We are 3 months out. Any more interest in another gathering? So far we have serious interest from the following:

FieroReinke - Locost
Trialsmangasgas - Locost
Ross - Goblin
TheNuker - Goblin
Tim Moland - Goblin
Dave - E-type Jaguar
Tim - TR8

I have also mentioned it to my local old car club and I expect a few of them to join on a few of the days but no commitments yet. I also expect a few more goblins to join us. It would be a shame to only have two Locosts.

[trialsmangasgas]

Come on guys and gals. I know everyone is itchin' to get some road time in after all this covid crap. What better way to self distance that driving down a twisty road on a nice warm day. Let's show these Goblin guys we are more than them!!!!! Russ

[Tailwind]

Hi Chris: Mary and I are definitely interested in a Gathering. The dates suggested are fine with us, but we are pretty flexible as to when. Glad to hear it will be a bit closer.

Bill

[FieroReinke]

the first reservation at the Holiday Inn has been made. Hopefully lots more of you can join us. It should be a fun time.

[Juliandz]

If i can work out some details I'll try to make it over for at least part of the time with my locost
