Default Going to Bowling Green!!!

My wife just told me that my birthday present for my 60th birthday, next year, will be an all expense paid 5 day trip to Bowling Green, KY!!! Isn't she FANTASTIC!!! I guess this means I'll have to take her along when I go.

I went by after Thanksgiving last year. I had the place to myself. You will love it in the off season. Easy to take photos of the cars.

Have fun and enjoy yourself!

I was just down there today to scope out the museum. To bad the plant was closed. Still very cool though.

Default Great place.

G'day,

I've been there twice, in 2003 and 2009. Had a ball both times. Was planning to go next year for the 60th, but found the celebrations are taking place at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles.

Well, at least it's a bit closer to Melbourne. See you there in March.

Regards from Down Under.

Congratulations Any time spent in Bowling Green is good time. I have been there a few times and it never gets old. The C7 should be up and running next year. Make sure you do the Assembly Plant Tour as well as the Museum. Have fun

Correct. Plant is closed to retool for the C7s, but the museum is open for business.
