WANTED- PT Cruisers for an Evening Santa Parade Nov. 17

[PT_Sean]

Our city (Brampton just North of Toronto) holds a "Twas the Night Before Christams" night-time Santa parade. I contacted the organizer, said that I can probably get 5-10 PTs, LIT UP, to come.

Any takers???? We can make a day of it!!

(lit up- you can either wire-up lights, to run off the lighter or battery (4 3V lights in series, several groups, or 12 1V in series, ...) OR get an inverter (12Vdc- 110Vac) and run store-boughts, OR I can tow a generator and we can all hang off that, ... )

There is a $100 entry fee- I will hit the local dealerships for sponsorship. I may have to tow a small float in return.

I know we are in the dead of heat, so think SNOW, cool off a bit....

They are setting the parade up this month and I need to committ (or be committed!!)

thanks in advance

Okay Marc/Ted/Mike/Jackie/Jeanie/PT1/PTlittlebuddy/ ... I know you are out there!! Time to step up to the plate!!!! >(

Okay- dinner [1]McDonald's[/1] is on me .. How's that??

[ptOntario]

OK, Sean, we don't mind getting committed! We'll be in good company! Sounds like a fun time, although it's a little hard to think of Santa and Christmas after living in a blast furnace this past week.

Count us in, we're game. And by the way, how was the spaghetti and fireworks yesterday? We were sad we had to miss it.

[Kevin/Tarsi]

Here comes santa, here comes santa driving his new pt cruiser, the only problem is the old sled had more power Some how i think we can drive all that way to the parade site after all its only 10 minutes away.Just have to figure out how to put may santa on the roof and all the lights on the car Maybe i will take some off the house, no one would notice it as i have so many on it. .Sean we will be there with bells on and christmas music playing.Is it to early to write letters to santa, I know a few things my baby could do with. kevin

I'd be there if I could. Here's a hint for the lights. Take a standard 50 lamp string (50 lamps at 120 volts) then rewire it so you have every 5 lamps in series for 12 volt operation. Get an accessory plug at Radio Shack (fused of course) and plug it into the power outlet (one of them is even switched with the key). Works like a charm, did it last year. Ho, ho, ho...

OK Sean...commit me! Will probably be bored by then with nothing to do [after 3 months not having to go to work ;-)] May need help with the lights....Me & Electricity DO Not get along...ZZAAPPP!!

[PT_Sean]

My kids politely reminded me that there is a "PT" in BramPTon!!!

RadioA- congrats on retirement! This week right?? Hows the 1:6 paint job??

Rick- thanks for the tip- I was going to try to mass produce some inverters OR get a generator for my trailer, and have other PTs hang orr that (with coiled cables to keep them up off the ground).

Looking around for strobe sets for my PT these days! How many months till Nov?? Better hurry.

[GOLDMEMBER]

Hi Sean I'll come if the paint job is finished by then Woodstock is having a parade on Nov15 as well..


I'll let you know how the mods are going closer to the date
