Leave Best Buy @ 8:15a
Breakfast @ 8:45a
Leave breakfast @ 9:45a / 10:00a

I didn't make a reservation as the list has 7 people, and there's still some maybes on whether or not they can make it.

Worst case scenario, there's another restaurant across the we can go to if the line is crazy. Mustard Seed [63 Hebron Ave #A. Glastonbury, CT 06033].

O.P. updated accordingly.
Alan, whatever you say is good. Posse "Rules"

The only thing I would add is that you should plan a route that takes everyone though some muddy puddles
(especially "Rodney Dangerfield")

FYI.........Just in case you get hung up for breakfast....'Glastonbury Coffee Shop' is right across the street from Kens ( walk over) . They are an old time Glastonbury favorite, if you need them.

Shouldn't be a problem with all this rain. I'm actually worried about the fact that were parking in grass, could become a "mudpit"

What debacle do you speak of?

FYI if that place is a mud bog, my car is not leaving the pavement.

Congratulations on the new Vette. You are certainly welcome to join us.
No Callaway's I'm aware of for tomorrow. Not many of those around.

Welcome to the forums.
as CT YANK said, I don't think the Callaway person will be joining us. You'll be the 4th C7 there. What color is your 2015?

Don't wait for me at Best Buy. If I'm not there by 8:15 I'll go straight to Ken's for 8:45

Shark Gray, with machined aluminum rims, carbon fiber package and badges. Sorry I can't make it today, but I will catch up with you at another event.

After breakfast there was a bee on my headlight!!!


And on Allen's car and all the rest!!!

The show looked very much like last year only more organized, the imports had there own separate section and we had no music or other nonsense in our area, the show was definitely an upgrade from last year!

There were more Corvettes this year and lots of Mustangs + one hellcat.

Also, one real bee!

Crap, I had it in my head that this show was next weekend. I probably could have made it too. Oh well...next one! Good news is I fixed my gauges and the short in my console, changed the oil, and my new steering box is on the way so she should be in tip top shape soon. Took it out for a few miles today...blow out the cobwebs.

Needed some stuff @ Cabela's and stopped by to say hello around 11:30, waited a while but evidently all you guys were walking around so missed you. When I first got there I thought I was in Japan, never saw so much rice in one place. Good for the kid's, they're car guy's & girls, just a younger generation. Still, nothing beats the sound of a V-8
