Chameleon Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 This was a great cruise! It was really nice to see some peeps come out that I haven't seen in a long time! The museum has a lot of really cool stuff, I think we saw maybe a third of it at the most. @Buccaneer, we found your plane! See pic below! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aenigma Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Remember that white vette you guys thought was the first to show up at the gas station so you lined up with him? Just a broken drag car from last night. Lonnie raced him last night. Lol he didn’t even know he was in a corvette club this morning for about 15 minutes 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left him broken at the station and then gave him a 15 minute membership! You two are brutal with new member initiation! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksAO Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Talk about a guy having bad luck. Not only getting beat on the track, broken down and only a 15 minute membership in a Corvette club he was also turned down by a Mustang club that had him surrounded before we showed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccaneer Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 You guys kill me! I did run into Joe at QT a week ago or so by chance and almost missed him in DOT incognito. LOL I have been pretty damn busy for a retiree lately. Trying to get the C3 back together and business is going much better than I would like...for a retiree, but can't complain really. I did get the last piece today to start the assembly, so I may work on it tonight for a bit and see how far I get. I really should track down a blower fan issues, before putting everything back together, but I NEED to get it back together to finish the new tune as well. Always something. BTW...Thanks Mo for reminding me with that txt, I totally forgot about that. Ugh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnU Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Okay, I'm finally catching up: Those on the tour may have seen the two weird helicopter machines at the front of the tour. McCulloch, known for chainsaws, was the builder. He married a woman named Barbra Briggs as in Briggs and Stratton engines! He purchased the London Bridge and moved it to Lake Havasu.... He reportedly sold the extra granite (he only kept the face stones) in Europe to the tombstone trade for more money then he paid for the bridge. Paxton (his middle name) superchargers in Studebakers, T-birds etc. Outboard motors too. Growing up my father had a Firestone outboard motor that was a private label of McCulloch, formerly Scott-Atwater formerly Champion. I'm sure others here have relatives who worked for and have more stories of this unique AZ man.... chide in! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_P._McCulloch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
