IVO,

I just made my reservation at the Quality Inn tonight. What time are you leaving on Friday? I'd like to follow you up, if you don't mind.

I WOULD SAY ABOUT 5:30 - 6:00 PM. I will try to get a definate time, it depends on work schedule.

Not mine, I might add. I try to work as little as possible.

Default Count me in... but...

I have a dilemma...

Which 'vette do I bring?!!?!? The '82 or the '99?

If I can't make up my mind ... well... I'll have to hire someone to bring the one I don't drive.

I too made a run down the Skyline Drive on Saturday and got stopped for doing 50. Speed limit on the Skyline Drive is 35 NOT 45 like on the Blue Ridge Parkway (so I was informed). Glad thay didn't stop me when I was doing 60 up one of the hills. Anyway we need to be careful on the 30th......I'll be doing 30! PS: Just got a warning, musta been the gray hair. C5 XTC

There's too many C-4 and C-5's that show up and not allot of REAL Vettes....

Yeah, tha'ts kinda what I was thinkin'. At the spring Skyline cruise there were very few C3s and older. Although the ones there were pretty sweet. There must have been 50+ C5s. I won't be able to make up my mind until the morning of the 30th. It's such a tough life.

I was there on Saturday too... and I kept asking, "Where's the park ranger?" I saw him once at Skyland but never on the road and I occasionally found myself exceeding the 35 MPH limit. But I think it was only between mile markers 1 and 42.

Maybe the ranger was looking for the caravan of Z cars that were up there. . .

A couple of questions if you don't mind. First, Got room from a NC resident, sounds like it may be fun.
Second, where does it start, (town?), how far, and where do you end up?

Okay, more than a couple of questions...lol.

Thanks,

Mark

Yes we have room for a Carolinian

It starts up in Front Royal Va, which is near the intersection of I 81 and I 66

Where are you coming from?

You can also take I 95 north to Fredericksburg and then follow route 17

Starts at 9:30 am and ends up down at intersection of Route 33 and the Skyline

E mail me at buydavette@aol.com and I can converse with you in more detail

Jack

any eligible bachelors (in the vicinity of 55-65 years old) have an open shotgun seat for my lovely and single mother? she has a cabin up there near luray and i'll be staying there fri night... and she says "a 'vette ride down the parkway sounds like a great way to spend a sat".

I would like to attend but it would be much more enjoyable with a female companion. If any of you know a girl who would like attend but doesn't have a ride, let me know. BTW, I prefer petite girls. Hook a cracker up
