Title: My pics from the 2012 Old Town get together
Post by: SuperSix on February 13 2012, 02:10:00 PM: A turbo V8 GN snuck in - Louie L, I believe.

I dropped $20.00 for raffle tix - I won a copy of Kirban's Fact Book #2.

It will make good bathroom reading. Talked to JD for awhile, Phil, the guy that did my machine work was there too - good to talk to him.

I joined the CFGNT club - and talked to George Macedo about having this board as a landing spot for the group - with TBS.com slowly dieing. I will email him a link later..

I took a bunch of pictures - some are so I can "modify" a few techniques I saw. :p Email/PM me if you want a hi-res version.

That's your car? That would explain why it was right next to the tent. :P

Post by: batmansbuick on October 10 2012, 02:02:13 PM: Yep, that was my car by the tent, pretty boring looking GN compared to the others, but Im going for the 'stock appearing' look with a TA49, stock location stretch intercooler, translator, etc. to be a little deceptive.

We have a date for the 2013 Turbo Buick show at Old Town, announcement shortly. We had 52 TB's last year, a record. With more exposure from FB, Instagram, Twitter, I hope to break that mark.

Post by: batmansbuick on October 10 2012, 03:02:37 PM: Old Town is just south of Orlando on US192 in Kissimmee, FL. Its a complex of shops, restaurants and thrill rides. Big car cruise there every Saturday night. The website is http://myoldtownusa.com (http://myoldtownusa.com/)
