Default hey Minneapolis...

I hope the mods don'tmove this. We are trying to arrange a dinner cruise for those CF members in the minneapolis area. I am unsure how to search the forum to find all members in the metro area and that is the reason for the thread. PM me if interested in taking part in this. After I get and idea of people interested, I'll set date, time, and location of the gathering.

you used to be able to search by location, they said they were working on a fix. I think that was about 4 years ago now.

Hey MN_Chopper.

A few years back we got slapped for posting non-event stuff for other MN members to see here in Great Lakes, so we started our own regional forum.

I'm in Shakopee. Definately up for something.

However, I'm going to be in between my C5 and C6Z for half of May/June.

You could ping 1 BAD BURB, AJ's always up for something

Became an annual tradition with the forum folks...each spring someone hosts a giant wash and wax at their house. Basically foks show up with their Vettes and wash/wax all day along with eats and beers.

Most folks have never done stuff like using clay bar, Zaino, getting swirls out, and Waxapallooza gives the not so experienced together with experienced and get a clean car.

Actually, it's mostly Vettes but don't really care what car you bring.

I missed this year, but normally a porter polisher or two shows up giving folks a chance to polish out mistakes too
