I know it's not pinball, or as fun as PAGG...
But that British car show was fun to walk around for an hour on Sunday. Will that be happening again this year?

Last year I camped too. On Sunday morning, I lay in my sleeping bag, listening to all the British car dudes show up. Then I opened the doors and watched as they paraded in. I swear, every one of them, new or old or whatever, sounded exactly the same: blublublublublublub

At least three cars died on the way in

Just a heads up:

For those that still need a hotel, if you get on Hotwire.com and search for a hotel in Dixon, when you get to the results page, under the filters section on the left, select the "3-star" option, then select "Dixon". From that, you'll only get one option at $84/night.

There's only one 3-star hotel in Dixon, the Country Inn & Suites.

(It should be noted that when I just did this, it was for Friday AND Saturday nights. YMMV for booking just Friday OR Saturday night only.)

I checked with the website and one of the organizers said they have some 2016 leftovers and will be for sale at this years show. If anyone can help me out, it would be appreciated. The theme fits my Texas gameroom well!

According to Priceline and Hotwire, the BW is 2.5 star. I really don't care, I've stayed at both. The CI&S has better parking on Saturday night since most of the British car show guys stay at the BW, but I'll stay at which ever one is cheaper.

A new brewery with taproom opened in Dixon recently. Might offer a nice break from pinball, if anyone's interested.

LOL! Did the same plus my wife probably bought another $100 in tickets on top of my $200. That was a nice Whirlwind! The only other time I put that much into a raffle was when they were raffling off a Tron at PPE. I didn't win that one either.
