4 or 5 of us from from the Toronto area are already registered for the event and have reservations at the Continental (oh well, it's convenient!). Leaving on Tuesday and arriving on Wed. after lunch.

Best regardSS,

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

I want to try to meet up with some of the people from here...it'd be great if we can get a time and place together. I'm trying to convince my fiance we need to leave at 3:30 AM so that we have an extra hour to get to Sonic Wednesday night. Yes, I am that pathetic

So anyone else? guion?

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

Caravans are starting to organize. The more the merrier.

Feel free to participate in the forum dedicated to the B.G. Reunion, the "Out & About" forum.
Everyone is welcome to hang out with the SSOA at the Continental Inn during the evenings. Just bring your chair, introduce yourself, and join in on the conversation.

We'll be at the Sonic Drive-in on Wednesday, Sept 14th around 6 pm, then back to the Continental Inn after dinner to visit on the back porch. Hope to meet a lot of you.

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

It's quite possible I'll be going and I'm excited at the prospect.

I have been to BG many times and have enjoyed it a lot...never for a F-body deal though...so that's even more interesting.

The museum, the town, and the Plant are a very good time!

Lotsa old farts like me (55) - as well as a few others on this board (who shall remain nameless!) have been observed at this event in B.G.
Older, younger... it doesn't matter... it's a celebration of the car we love with a lot of really good people!

Best regardSS,

Really? The only real car show I've been to is the Mopar Nats, that was pretty exciting but I really want to make this event.

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

Is high gas prices going to change your mind to come to Bowling Green this weekend?

I've got it pretty easy, I only live about 2-1/2 hours away. I didn't register this year, but I am thinking of driving down Sat. and spending the day in the area.

By the way the weather Saturday is suppose to be awesome, clear and highs in the low 80s. For you guys staying the whole weekend, a chance of rain on Thursday and Friday.

**Paging RP** What are you bringing this year, besides the Silver C6 Z06 you will be riding in on.

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

7 AM Saturday morning, at the little diner next to the Continental Inn, across from the museum...breakfast with Doug, me, poSSum and RP I assume Doug got ahold of him to reconfirm?

Its 10:31 PM right now, the Z is loaded up, and my fiance and I are leaving here at 2 AM Its going to be about 15 hours down there, and 1,030 miles Its gonna be a long ride, and the gas prices will kill us...but ask me if I care.

Any of you guys going...look for a white and orange 30th Camaro with a MA plate on the back and a black "Camaro" plate on the front. I should be somewhere near it!!! I look forward to meeting any of you I can. Now, I'm off to make sure my water timers are set right (just re-seeded my lawn), and get a whole 3 hours of sleep

Woo hoo!!!!!! Gas prices, my a**

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

Maybe next year.

Edit: I know a few that went in years past, they said the turnout wasn't that good and wasn't worth the drive from the detroit area. That, coupled with gas prices just wasn't enough to make me want to go.

Re: Early Poll: Who's going to Bowling Green?

So it's this weekend? Pretty bad that I live an hour away and don't know. I might stop in this year to check it out, stay with some friends I got down at WKU.

Excellent Its 12:20 AM now, and I'm too wired to sleep. When I drove down in '03, I was amazed how well the drive went, considering we left Springfield MA at 8 PM at night, after working all day and having one of my MBA classes. From 3-5 AM, between roughly the PA/OH border and Cinncinati, I drove through some of the worst rain I've ever experienced...a hurricane was running up the coast at that point, and I was amazed how far inland it got. At one point, after going 40 or so through a narrowed construction zone, I-71 (I think...) widened back out, and I pulled into the fast lane to pass an 18 wheeler. I didn't even get to 45 before the rear end of the Z kicked to the right, and all of a sudden I was facing the median in a perfect 90 degree spin I somehow managed to yank it back right, and ended up completely straight again without even needing to re-correct I never gunned the car, and to this day have no idea what/how it happened, but it was the scariest thing ever. On the return ride home, I ran over what appeared to be a body bag at 4 AM in the middle of I-90 in NY. After that, I swore no overnight runs again

With fresh GSCs, plugs, wires, coolant, radiator hoses, thermostat, water pump, alignment and Mobil 1, I think I'm all set for this ride Doesn't seem to be any hurricanes, either!

See you Sat at 7 AM, Doug!
