My 84 was originally supposed to be in but I'll be taking the GS because of the painted roof. How many others are in the flag this year? Any repeats from the first flag?

Hopefully I'll see you there. It's always great to be able to put a face with a name!

I thought about taking my red 85 this year, but I was so dissappointed in Carlisle last year, I probably won't return. There was very little to offer the C4 generation in the way of parts or demonstrations. When I talked to some of the vendors, they were more interested in feeding the C5 and C6 generations. Did anyone else see the lack of technical support and the lack of parts for the C4's there last year?

I'm in, as is a friend with his new 2010 Torch Red. Figured it's worth doing at least once.

Yeah, slim pickins for our generation for sure. No tuners, hardly any parts, installation alley opportunities, but the cars are cool and it's great catching up with friends I only get to see once a year.

Yes, but I'm still going this year, very little in the way of C4 parts. I did luck out and find a new in package remote key fob for dirt cheap, so things can be found.

I'm in with my red 82 and my buddy is in with his red 85. We both were in the original flag display in 2008.

I have hard time finding parts for the C-4 most places. I think they forgot about our cars.
