Post up you location, clubs, cars and any upcoming events.
I'm just outside Boston and the cars as pictured in the profile.

Me too.
I got a new battery, it fired right up and I took it out for a spin but that's about it. I was going to get another battery for the blue one but figured why bother, it's not like I have time to drive either one.

Just outside Boston.

I've had my 1974 T/A for 31 years.

The big Bay State Antique Auto Show has been sadly canceled for this year... again.  But the bi-weekly Foxboro cruise seems to be on

Hopefully I'll attend few of them and meet up with some of you there.

Thanks for posting. Marks looks likea great show.  115mi one way on a week night is tough for me to do.

It's August already and I have not attended a single show nor did I make it out to Foxboro... Rain and the new job is not helping.

Next Sunday is the annual Waltham Lions car show.  I went a few years ago nice show and decent turnout.

Jack: hope to see you there.

2022, and nothing to see here. Marks was a huge cruise night here in Northern CT, and happened every Monday night.  It has now gone the same route as the "Hoola-Hoop". It will be missed. It's been a decent summer so far weather wise, but guess there isn't much going on. Tough, when we have-ta work for a living.

I am doing the Corvette brake swap on my 74 (thread in the suspension section.)  I plan to hit the Foxboro cruise night once I am done.

It use to be every other Thursday.

Looks like there is one this Thursday the 14th, next one is August 11, 25, and so on.

I went to a local cars and coffee in Wakefield on rte.38.  Strip mall with a restaurant called. It’s good as it gets.  Regular cruise Sunday mornings 9-12.  About 50 cars.  Nice event to just take a cruise on a Sunday morning.

Wondering about us TAC members, here in NE, that would be interested in a gathering in the spring/summer of 2023.
I'm sure my project 84 301T won't be finished by then, but maybe I'll trailer it for the ones here that might get a chuckle out of it. Plus I'll actually get to put a face, (and car) to other members. (Besides Jack)  :smile:
I know it's a bit early, but I'm just talking out loud right now.

Sounds like a plan to me.

That makes "2" of us. We're on-a-roll.

Welcome back, Jack. I found this thread a while back, and notice there doesn't seem to be much interest anymore. At least in our area. I brought it back to life because now that my kids are older, (and I'm not :?), I was hoping to get back into the hobby, B4 the government kills it totally. Maybe we can all grab hold of it for a few more years, while we're still..."young"..(enuff), and enjoy  what's left of it.
 
So if something does happen next year, I'm not expecting a 50 car TAC pile-up, just a few of us that have never met, and check out our cars. We could just meet up in some parking lot somewhere for a few hrs, and tell a few war stories. As for my ride being ready, I'm sure at the rate I've been going, it'll never be driveable by then, but I can trailer it, if anyone wanted a good laugh, seeing it in person. And Jack, maybe you could get the formy over there too, along with your red car. Like I mentioned, i'm just talking out loud right now. We'll see what transpires next season.
