Special Guest coming to the Beach Cruise

Flassh · 02-18-2008, 04:36 PM

If all goes according to plan, I should be able to confirm by this weekend that we will have a very well known special guest coming to the Penticton Peach City Beach Cruise June 20 - 22.

You can't make us wait a week without a chance to guess.

Hints please so the guessing can begin.

dyoung · 02-18-2008, 07:10 PM

el**sa ??

Flassh · 02-18-2008, 09:18 PM

No hints for now - just want to annoy the heck out of everyone for a while. Should be able to release the info this weekend.

You can consider me annoyed

My stab in the dark...... Marc NY. He is going to take his well deserved retirement package and come check out one of the most beautiful places in British Columbia.

Sandy, you're misbehaving. No hints allowed till after the weekend.

Wait till Sue sees this thread - it'll drive her bonkers.

Hmmm - Marc NY does have one of those.

And.... there is the possibility of a very low production SSR showing up.

#23 will be there, but no more trucks for me.

Mike Joy would be a great addition, but he's a wee bit busy with NASCAR in the summer. A pace truck leading the parade on Friday - that would be icing on the cake. Maybe Gmkarguy can make the trip from Texas. He's been officially invited. Can our down south friends from Arizona and California convince him to make the trip?????

so how many guess' can a guy have? my next one, after a lot of thought would have to be:

FREEZER

with #51

That's the trouble with SSR people - not thinking outside the box. Did I, at any point, suggest that our special guest needs to be an SSR owner?

I might have mentioned this guest to Sandy, and she can hardly keep it to herself. She can now expect some PMs from the curious masses begging to be let in on the surprise. But then, it wouldn't be a surprise.

I'm off to Vancouver this weekend for the Home Show, and to do some house stuff research with Iris - Abbotsford World of Wheels is on, and I'm hoping to get there on Saturday. Peter and Cindy's Dragon is one of the feature cars.

I have a moustache,.. but its not me.. of course, I already know who it is.

It's ELVIS! I heard he was working up there in one of the grocery stores.

Take lots of pictures with the King!

:thuimbs

tickledpink · 02-19-2008, 10:00 AM

I thought I would have a leg up on you this time as I too was going to bring a mystery guest.................. Hmmmmmmmmm

So, the game goes on!!!!

You're onto something, but NOT. Last year, the Elvis Festival was on the same weekend. It's been moved to new dates. Otherwise you'd see good Elvis, bad Elvis, overweight Elvis, doesn't really look like Elvis Elvis and many others.

You could come and check it out for yourself. Someone from Texas would probably beat out the Arizona and California folks for Long Distance. And...someone from Texas could convince Gmkarguy to bring the Pace Truck.

That is a classic response Ray.

Hey Ray, what time are you thinking of heading to W of W to see the DRAGN? I pm'd Peter but haven't heard back yet. We're planning on going saturday evening. Do you want to ride together?

Sandy

I got an e-mail from Sue....you have succeeded.

So if I read your hint correctly, there could be a special guest AND a low production SSR???

Could our special guest be a GM employee?

Flassh · 02-19-2008, 07:17 PM

I guess I could tell you our special guest did undergraduate research in quantum physics and has a Ph.D in chemistry. No foolin!!

Sit back, enjoy a can of Pringles and hang in till the weekend.

If scheduling works out, it would be Saturday evening. We need to be back early Sunday, so not sure if we'll stay over in Abbotsford. If we're running late and trying to get home Saturday night, it may not work.

I'm hoping to have ................nope - that's too good a hint for now.

Flassh · 02-19-2008, 08:26 PM

For the supersleuths out there, the cat's head is poking out of the bag tonight, so we can accelerate the hints.

Our special guest actually was involved in the creation of Pringles. There's a clue on the can.

He also was involved in the development of Boost (the nutritional energy drink)

Oh yeah - he also likes cars- Classic case of being able to do what he enjoys doing.

Flassh · 02-19-2008, 08:30 PM

He's the ultimate effervescent car enthusiast - heck, sometimes you'd think he was on Speed.

xs-cash · 02-19-2008, 08:45 PM

Congrats Nace.

REBEL · 02-19-2008, 09:01 PM

Not fair
I e-mailed My classic car to come to Maggie vally this year.

Flassh · 02-19-2008, 09:04 PM

Nace,

Did you cheat and check out the Beach Cruise website?????

tickledpink · 02-19-2008, 09:08 PM

Now I'm sure MY special guest will want to join the SSRfans in Penticton too !! I hope Mike in AZ brings his Polka-Dot Thong ........ Hal is bringing his and we know the Competition will be a REAL HIT this year!!! Are you ready Brian, Wayne, Scott, and Paul??

Sue

xs-cash · 02-19-2008, 09:32 PM
