I'm in for that. an informal prompt to cruze to SB.
I assume your talking about the 11th?

Actually, next Saturday, February 8th. So far, I have the following members:

Scott's 73,
Imariver,

Who else is up for the cruise, can we add Kobra01 and 80COrvette to the list?

I guess it would help if I was looking at the Feb. calendar... not the Jan. one.

I will be at a soccer convention in LA on the weekend of the 8th so I'm out. I am interested in going another time. My wifes B-Day is on the 23rd so a cruise to SB on that day would be nice.

Either way, you guys pick a date and I'll try to make it.

We'll cruise up there on the 15th, buy your wife a double cheese bacon burger, put a candle on it, surprise her and sing Happy Birthday.

Ok, it's official..... Unless I hear otherwise, it's Feb. 15th. I will start a new thread tomorrow morning.

Hey guys, my wife just reminded me that making car related plans on Valentine's weekend could be hazardous to my health. If you don't mind, let's go with option B.

My wife said that you have a very smart wife and you should do what she says.

I'm all good for the 22nd. Since my wife's B-day is on Sunday, we will probably get a hotel room in Solvang and make it into a weekend.

The 22nd is also good for me. And Roland is right, making car plans on Valentine's Day weekend is hazardous to our health!!! Roll call for the 22nd, and maybe Todd and Jeff will be ready by then.

I've wrenched on cars for around 25 years so I know how to do a lot of different repairs. If you need some help... let me know.

I'm in Palm Desert, also with a '73. It's a 4 speed vert . Might need some help from time to time. There is another '73 vert running around out here but have not been able to chase him down yet. Be nice to get some 73's together.
