Getting my travel plans together for VCF Midwest this saturday. I think I'm
going to stay in a RedRoof that's about 5 miles east of the vcf location (I
like redroof and the econolodge just didn't strike me).
Since VCFm is one day, are people getting together for dinner the night
before, or dinner the day of the show? Since it's only a 5 hour drive for
me, if people get together the night before I'll head back saturday right
after VCF. If people are going to get together saturday night, I'll head
back sunday morning.
I will be bringing the infamous red trailer, and exhibiting it in a booth at
VCF. See the marks the fire/explosion left on the trailer! See the bullet
holes from the police shooting at it.... *GRIN*
But seriously - if anyone wants me to bring something particular up for
trades, now is the time!

I'd suggest Saturday night after the VCF.
I know at least one other person was interested in doing this. I'll try
to figure out some places we can go in my copious spare time. ;)
Everyone interested in going can just meet up at the end of the VCF, and
then we can go somewhere from there.

I heard that rumor as well. I also heard a rumor that Mr. Franke was put
to shame by another classiccmp member at the main dinner.

Ok, I'll get into west lafayette friday evening, and I'll leave sunday
morning. My only suggestion as to where we go to eat/drink saturday after
vcf.... someplace quiet enough so we can talk and share stories and not have
to shout over loud music :)

New subject: looking for an AMP connector
Hello,
A friend of mine has designed a replacement climate control circuit for
his early '80s Jaguar XJS. (This might almost put this on topic.) He plans
on making kits available at near cost prices, and would like to find a
replacement connector. Does anyone have an old AMP catalog that might
show something like the one in these pictures? A series name or similar
part number would be a good start:

Isn't that sort of thing in the service manual for the car? (Which a lot
of classic Jag owners must have). I know there must be a Jag part number
for it too, but 'proper' manuals for cars of that period tended to list
this sort of info too.
cheers
