Default Michigan C3's - Spring Gathering

Let me try this again with a different title....I KNOW you Michigan people are out there SOMEWHERE!!!

Looking at having a get-together in Flint some weekend next month. I'm tentatively planning for the weekend of the 13th of April. I figure that Flint is a good midpoint for most people. Lansing, Saginaw/BC, Detroit, Ann Arbor, etc... all freeway and pretty central to everyone.

And for more incentive for people to come, we'll have it at HOOTERS! "Delightfully tacky yet unrefined"....much like the lot of us. :crazy:

So..let me know if you're interested. I'll be sure to post more when the date approaches. Hopefully we'll have some good weather and we can get a good turnout. My goal is to get 50 Vettes there of all shapes, sizes and colors, but I'll settle for as few as 30. So tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your neighbors' friends, and your friends' neighbors!

From the looks of things out side it'll take at least that long for all the snow I got to melt around here
4 Days ago I had two wheels off car and I need to turn it around to get other two off to finish job
and I got so much in driveway which is on a hill I'll never get it backed into garage again and I plowed
my drive this afternoon. Twenty more months and my winters will be spent in Arizona with Vette. Steve

Yeah, I know it's a bit of a haul for people out past Lansing. I guess we'll have to have a Jackson/Lansing/Grand Rapids get-together at the new Lansing Hooters sometime, too :p:
