The only information I can find is the date of the event on jenseneast.org. Can anyone tell me what the scheduel is? I've sent unanswered email and text to hosts Don and Kathy. I'd like a little more information before I submit registration with $125 per person.

Hey Sander! I replied on the Jensen-cars list, but just in case you see me here: I'll try to get hold of Kathy tomorrow and see if I an have her contact you. It would be great to see you there! I can guarantee it's well worth the price: this will be our fifth in a row we've attended and they are always great.

Bump: so, who's in for Jensen East 2018? This is going to be a good one (not that they aren't all good) but special in a lot of ways. I hear we are going to have a sizable contingent from Britain making it a part of their USA tour.

Great news !! The program looks really interesting. Mark and I just sent in our registrations....and really looking forward to this event...and the visitation of the Brits with their Jensens...won't that be great!!! Plus seeing all my Jensen friends again. Presently I am repairing some damage to my muffler hanger on the Interceptor and Mark is addressing some fuse block problems on his JH, but barring a catastrophe, we will see all of you there...

I don't see any problems. I'll have my Interceptor problems with the mufflers fixed and while the EFI system will not be completely installed, I'll probably still be running with the carburetor...no problem. Mark is installing a new larger fuse box in his JH and is now convinced that he is at mortal risk unless he installs sway bars on his JH. Although he's driven it for years without them, he now is becoming paranoid, I think. Insists he can change over the a arms and such to accommodate the front bar and while I think it should be done by professionals, he insists he can do it alone,,,I only foresee a big mess, but he is adamant that he can do it. I'll just sit back and watch the catastrophe of removing the front suspension without knowing how to do it... You probably know what I am talking about. The factory installed many front ends with the fitting for the sway bar reversed, requiring they be switched so the sway bar can be attached. I want him to take it to our usual front end pros, but he refuses...I have a suspicion, that while he is coming to the event, he will be riding with me in the Interceptor. Frank

Greetings from Down Under By sheer coincidence I will be in the north east of the US in the first 3 weeks of June. North Carolina is but a hop skip and a jump away; I once drove 6 hours for a round of golf with a mate and then went home again... So there's a (albeit remote) chance we may drop in.

Chris: That is just great. So, unless Mark is not driving his JH, you can ride with me in the Interceptor...I'll even let you drive. Frank

No, problem...I'll be here to guide you. I remember the first time I drove in the UK. We rented a car in London and I drove the wife and children down to Sussex to visit distant cousins. I had bad time keeping on the "correct" side of the road...and when in a taxi sitting up front I was quite nervous as I had no brake to press on or steering wheel to hold on to...weird feeling, indeed.

Which reminds me - does anyone have a contact email for Don and Kathy? I need to get some $ to them but haven't used cheques (=checks) in years and I suspect their bank may be nonplussed with one in $AUS. Our Tour de US is shaping up nicely. The Spender in Chief has worked out that all being well we should be able to squeeze in a couple of days in North Carolina. This all came about when my daughter landed a working holiday in Wisconsin over the northern summer; she 'accidentally' booked herself a week extra in NY on the way there. My wife and I were going to go to Yulara (Google that...) but for a few more $ and a lot of frequent flyer points we get to check out the Land of the Free.

She'll be working as a camp counsellor teaching photography at Camp America somewhere near Milwaukee (which of course is IN Wisconsin; not enough coffee this morning - but which narrows it down to a million places I suspect!).
