ReplyDeleteCraig,
Thank you for putting this together ! Each week we go through it and see what we can go to. My only suggestion would be for you to maybe say which you are going to so that we might have the chance of running in to you and saying thanks in person !
Yeah, I've noticed that as the website has gotten more popular, the SPAM comments have become harder to control.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I don't always know where we're going to be. I'm planning to go to Mecum at some point. Maybe Liberty? Guess it depends on the non-car stuff that's also on the schedule.
I appreciate you checking in! :-)
Craig
Craig,
ReplyDeleteGood stuff each week! We appreciate the news and calendar. we did see your truck in Platte City....or at least one that looked like it!
Too bad I didn't know about your site when I was Kansas City awhile back. Some of these events look pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys!
ReplyDeleteI will be at the Liberty "Cruise Night on the Liberty Square" from 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m with two Camaro's.
