I'm working on a little item about the BABE Rally and can use a photo. The first person who delivers a good, high-resolution photo to my in-box wins. And ideally you're the photographer so getting permission to use the photo isn't a problem.

You're quite welcome, everyone knows Im the BABE rally ho so anything I can do to get more GRMrs there.

And of course I have a standing offer of freeing up a seat or two for any staff members that want to come along.

Tom and I have been discussing it. I picked up a sweet 1980 Dodge Aspen for $250 that would be perfect for the job. It really is more of a time/schedule thing than anything else.

If it has a 79 build date you qualify for the American Iron class as well

Make the time, its worth it :) I didnt miss 3 wedding anniversaries in a row for nothing.

The early entry deadline is fast approaching (Jan 3oth I believe) after that it goes up another $50 so why not pull the trigger now :)

A Roadmonster would be a lovely cruiser on this event. Keep in mind with vehicle selection there are some ummm..."unpaved" portions of the route.

It can take it! And we'll still be comfy :)

I dunno about being gone for a week and a half, though... If only Little Lugnut would tolerate a solid 9 days in the car. Of course, I am making the assumption that the Buick would survive the entire event and my little one wouldn't have to hoof it to civilization!

I'm not sure grandma and grandpa would be up for nearly a fortnight of 2 and half year old.
