 Gorden shows how much wine it took to convince Fumi a TC is really a family car. |
Saturday night we recalled our happiest or most memorable times with the TCs. Fumi won first place with her story on how Gorden talked her into thinking the TC was the perfect "family car" to buy. She drove it with children while Gordon had the Volvo station wagon at work. Bill Traill came in second with how he purchased his TC with borrowed money and before he was old enough to have a license. Kay remembers Larry suprising her with a TC key in a blue Cartiers jewlery box. The rest of the TC was in pieces down at Mike's though. Several of us remembered packing the family in the TC's for adventures. Children sitting in the boot area. Clarence even went as far as recalling how Barbara was pregnant with their YOUNG son. Most of us have fond memories of the day we bought the TC (or in the case of some, a basket case of parts). Even those that remembered TC break downs were smiling at the memories. All in all these funny little cars have given us many a wonderful memory. Prizes were also given out for furthest traveling TC from the North, Bob Kramer, and from the South, David & Joyce Edgar. And while not in a TC, Doug & Ilene Wimer traveled the furthest of all, from Utah via Texas. |

Clarence recalls the original event of the cigar incidence: About 20 years ago at a Guild event, we stopped for breakfast. As Barb and I left the restaurant, we met Doug Wimer walking toward us. "Good morning" I said as Doug came up to us. Doug said something like, "What are you doing with that in your mouth?" as he very nimbly reached out and with a swift flick of the wrist SNAPPED MY VERY EXPENSIVE CIGAR IN HALF !!!! I suppose he really did not MEAN to do it...and he was very embarrassed. Ah the GOOD old days! (Barbara said he had a TC Moment!) |
