    Carlisle 2017 Schedule of Events

    This is a new idea (for me,) but I thought it might be useful to put together something of a calendar for this thing. Everyone is welcome to add recommendations. I'll update this list as items are added. I'm also tinkering with a dedicated Google calendar, but in reality, I think this might...

    2017 Carlisle Tent Theme

    This thread is a little overdue. Most years, we attempt to plan a (relatively) coherent tent theme. It seems we're pretty good at it, too. We've won "coolest club" on several occasions. This year, is the 100th Anniversary of the Lincoln brand, and the show is featuring Lincoln, as a...

    LOD New Years in Minnesota

    Ok, so really, it's just New years in Minnesota, but hey, the Lincoln crew is always welcome to join in the fun. Show up whenever, leave whenever. I strive to have extra sleeping space available, but it could get a bit cozy this year. Be prepared to be flexible if you hope to stay the night.

    Holiday decor 2016

    Christmas has sprung. I actually bought this locomotive at my first Carlisle, when a number of us toured the brewery. This is the first time all of these have been out of the boxes..

    FS: FS: 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

    A friend of mine is trying to sell an oddball Caddy convertible. I figured I'd do them a favor post it here, also. I haven't seen the car in person, but I'd expect it to require some reconditioning to be anything show-worthy. If anyone is interested, I can track down a number for the current...

    Ponies at the Pike 2016 - 25-September-2016

    So this thread is being created after the fact, as the few photos that came in from that event ended up in the "post a photo" thread. I believe it needed it's own "archive," as Laurie "Hot Mark" of the Lincoln Mark VIII Addicts worked extremely hard to coordinate the event, and deserves to be...

    Another drone video

    I often "crew" for a co-worker who owns a hot air balloon. The last time I helped out with a launch, someone else was there with a drone taking video. You really get a good feel for the place, and the process. I was working with the Yellow balloon. The location is a "farm restaurant" Called...

    Overheating? Check your radiator!

    So I decided to take a look at my leading theory on my car overheating in traffic on hot days, and or mountain roads. This might have something to do with it: No, I didn't suck in Leo's dog.. That's (presumably) 234,000 miles worth of "stuff" in there. I know I have never looked in there...

    Car stereo wiring and interchange

    I made a little discovery today. Dad had been complaining about the flaky power button on the stereo of his '97 F-150 XLT. It won't always stick "in" and turn off as it should. So this will look like a "truck" post, but it pertains pretty nicely to the 2nd Gen Marks. Hang in there. We have...

    Lincoln Mark III Rockin' the Nürburgring

    A buddy of mine seems to have gotten into watching 'Ring videos lately. I don't necessarily have that kind of time. Today, he sent me this gem. Fast forward to 3:05, if it doesn't go there automatically. It's just a few seconds of that car, but it's cool to see. Edit: the forum doesn't...

    Tent theme

    Normally by this time we'd have had a thread discussing the club tent theme. I noticed we don't have one yet, but it's getting a bit late. I also somehow suspect that our Dear Leader may have a trick up his sleeve already...
