I'll be there. Do it most every year, hell of a show, my dad has shown his 54 Chevy there since 2000 & has a 39 Chevy thats almost ready.

Are you in this area??? Would love to meet up if so.

The Car d'lane show is a great one, they shut down the downtown, right at the lake (2 main streets) amazing amount of amazing cars.

Maybe in a couple years I will enter mine, right now the show is 1975 & older but seems to be creeping newer each year. Maybe my 78 will be worthy by then.

I'll be there taking in the sights and sounds. I'll be there on Saturday with some of my relatives. I'm thinking I'll be there early afternoon since I'll be staying in Spokane. Given the year restriction on the cars (pre 75), it'll be interesting to see if any Spiders make it there! What day you plan on going?

Friday night is the cruise, might go down & check that out. Definitely be there for the show on Saturday early afternoon.

Give me a ring & we can hook up....2088197173 Don.

I can't say I ever remember seeing a Spider there.

It was a great show today. Lots of cars, no fiats though, there was a good showing from the local british car club (probably 10 austins & morris's) but nothing of Italian heritage.

I got to meet spidernut & his son on there trip up here, nice guys. (just realized I kept calling you Jim, sorry JOHN)
Great to meet you guys, hope we can meet again on your next trip, hopefully I have the Spider next time.

I took my camera but only got 1 pic, too many people & too busy drooling.
This one was right next to where we were shooting the Fiat breeze, no idea what it started as & how the heck would you change the tires?

Great to meet you Don! That was an awesome show in Coeur d'Alene...I wish my camera hadn't broken. There were some great ideas on custom interiors that would have looked fantastic in a Spider! Good luck with the timing belt, seals and such on your car. I hope to see you next year when we head up here.

I know how that is, got lucky & wife was teaching & daughter working got to do it on my own time schedule (not that either one wouldn't have enjoyed going with)

Life/family got in the way & had to miss "Lost in the 50's" up in your neck of the woods this year (Big showing in Sandpoint Id).

Also missed the "Auto/Boat Speed Show" in Spokane in March, but we still have the "GoodGuys Great Northwest Nationals" in August in Spokane & many other small town shows around the area thru-out the summer.

Again great showing in Coeur d'Alene this weekend, always a good turnout, nice weather & wonderful to meet with another member!
