Default Corvette Forum Cruise-In - hope to see many of you there.

Wife and I are attending our first forum Cruise-In. I hope to meet and shake hands with as many people as possible. We'll at least take the 2002 Vette, but I don't think Yvonne will drive her 1973 all that distance (no cruise control or overdrive transmission).

I'll be wearing shirts with Corvette Forum on them as well as my screen name. If you see me, just yell out "Hey Tim" or "Mike Mercury!" or "hey doofas"... I'll know you mean "me"

Please understand I may see you first - but may not recognize you without hearing your forum name. I'm just starting to learn the faces of all the forum posters.

We'll arrive Friday afternoon the 27th. Hope to meet as many as possible.
See you there !

Tim and Yvonne

We'll be there, you'll recognize me I'll be the one with the bored wife and two out of control boys. Probably bring the 73 and the Z06.

I am hoping to make it up. Look for the black 70 and it should be me. Be sure to speak up. I should have my NCRS vette and shirt with me.

Aww....c'mon....bring the C-3!! Those dudes were running cross country long before O/d's made it into Vettes!

I'll be there for the second time with my 540" '67. Year before that we came in my buddy's '65....327" car.

We have a '61 with a 283 2x4 setup making the trip.

And we're all coming from S. Tx!!

There are a couple of other C-3's coming from Dallas..but I have to admit...they do have Tremec O/D's.

Anyway. it will be great to see you, but please reconsider bringing the "cool Vette". We need more of them!

I'll be there With any luck, it will be with Project RamJet. Still have some finishing touches left with the Tremec/ Steeroids install. If not, I have to flip a coin between towing the 69 or driving the LT-1........I'm a BB fanatic so we will see

Just got in about 20mins ago from BG with the Silver '75. 997 miles and in two weeks I do it all over again. I'm draining the oil & tranny fluid now for a fresh change in the morning. My new GM 260hp crate engine purred along with ease and cruised to my expectations

How are you coming? Going through Dallas? We'll be meeting up in Texarkana somewhere around noon on Wed probably.

I am bringing my C3 (with overdrive ). Hope to see many C3 owners there.
Is there any way we can get all the C3's together for a picture on Friday or Saturday?

How many will be doing the car show at the museum on Friday?
