Default Sparty?

Hi,
I'm wondering if David Howard has brought his green car to Carlisle? I've looked a bit yesterday and today but didn't see it.
After reading so much about it over the years it'll be interesting to see it 'live'!
Anyone?
Regards,
Alan

Hey, Alan. If you see him, please tell him, "Thank You" from me for the gas cap. I bet he will be surprised. Stay safe, mike...

I haven't had communication with David in over a month, but I know he and GordonM were making plans to go there this year. I'll text them and see if they are there Alan. I'm moving kids on campus the next two weekends - happens every year the same week as Carlisle

I am not able to make it this year. Due to some family obligations and such it was just not possible. I have not heard from David either in about a month. Starting to get concerned about him. He was planning on bringing Sparty but he never confirmed what his plans were.

I know David was doing a lot of overseas traveling for work, Maybe his schedule conflicted with this years event at Carlisle.
Has anyone sent him a PM ?
I'm sure he and Sparty are just fine
and we will hear from them soon
Regards
Roy

Hi,
I see David made some posts in the parts section today... don't know if that means he's in Pa. or just somewhere in the world with internet access?
Still curious about the green car.
Regards,
Alan

A few points you might be interested in knowing:

1) You resurrected a 5 year old thread.

2) Alan has not been active since May of this year.

3) David Howard no longer owns Sparty. It is currently being sold in the FS section by the new owner.

Maybe there should be a warning pop up when reviving an old thread. It is usually somebody new that found thread thru a search and doesn't realize the age.

No harm, no foul, thanks for asking about Sparty. Maurey Katz is the current owner of Sparty and he is not able to bring the car to Carlisle this year. Sparty is alive and well and being well cared for in the Harrisburg, PA area.
Again, thank you for your interest and have a great weekend at Carlisle. I will be there and I will wear a "AllVettes4Me" nametag in case anyone is trying to run me down.
Best regards,
David Howard
