Default [MCV] Keep October 25'th open...

We have once again been invited to the Bellevue Cruisers cruise-in. I guess we didn't wear out our welcome the first time around! :lolg: :lolg:

Update : I have spoken with the event coordinator, and we are all set. The Nashville Corvette Club will not be able to attend as they already had some previous plans, but there should be a few of the other area groups (Western KY possibly, Clarksville, etc). There will be a large 9ft screen with American Graffiti playing, door prizes, etc.

Location : Bellevue Mall (I-40 and Hwy 70)
Time : 5pm - 9pm Possibly a before hand event..stay tuned.

It will take place the same time as last time (5pm - 9pm). If there is interest, we can meet prior to the event for a late afternoon lunch/snack.

Official Press Release :

PRESS RELEASE

How does one join (become a member) the MCVs?
1) Read this section.

2) Whenever someone announces an [MCV] event...show up.

:lol: :lol: :yesnod:

My exam should be over by 3 pm, but you see, afterwards we must fulfill tradition by taking everyone out to a bar, getting likkered up, and then starting a bar fight.

<kidding> But there is a celebratory dinner afterwards.

Doug, there's something weird about your signature.

Every time I try to open a thread where you were the last person to post, my browser locks up! I just made the association over the last few days. Odd...is your sig animated or anything?

:lol:

So your the culprit! Let's get him! :lol: :lol: :jester

Yes, there are a few threads that I have been unable to open (MCV related). I wasn't sure who it was. If you wait long enough, it finally loads (30+ seconds). All the other threads are fine. This thread as far as I know is still fine though, so it might not be you.

Let me know if it is better now. When I went into my signature under profile, I had to refresh twice. I believe, but not positive yet, that it was the large Wunderground Weather Banner, so I inserted a smaller one from their site.
I'm sure you guys will let me know if this works... :smash: :lolg:

Wunderground, yep, that would cause it. I had it on my sig for a while, and removed it for that reason. It comes up super quick now! :thumbs:
