Anyone else thinking of going to the Freight House tonight???? If it is only John and I then maybe we will just forget it for tonight what with the threatening rain and such.
BUT:::: Do mark your calendars for September 6th for the 28th Annual Wings & Wheels in Osceola WI (Only 50 miles from St. Paul via my house in Houlton) A very pleasant ride, we drive right in and show our cars for FREE, and get to see about 1,000 exotica, antique, muscle and other types of vehicles. Last year we only had John's SRT6 and my Roadster but we hope we will have more this year.

Our house is only a few blocks from the Stillwater bridge over the St. Croix River. Directions to our house are at:

If you've never been there it is absolutely incredible.
It is Sept 6, 8:00-4:30. Either ride up with us or meet up there later. Just drive right in and we should be up near the top of the hill near the building.
Will that work? Maybe meet here at 7:45 a.m. and get there early. You only have to stick around as long as you want unless you seriously want to try for a trophy which are given out at about 4:00 or so. We will park together to display our cars as a group. There is also a Fly-In at the nearby airport where they have some special aircraft on display. Plus you can buy Motorbooks International publications at deep discounts. Sometimes as much as 80% off. Just Google "wings & wheels osceola photos" if you'd like to get an idea of what is to be seen at the event. Some of the cars there are a once in a lifetime experience. See everything from Model T's to
Lamborghini, Road Runners to Minis, and every extreme of the car and motorcycle collecting hobbies. Possible route from St. Paul:
