They have generously offered for us to meet at their place 4 breakfast to kick off this cruise!
Thanks in advance Lothar & Fran for being such gracious hosts!!!


So, who's in?

------------------
RATE ME IF YOU LIKE MY CRUISES!!!
1985 RED & SILVER CUSTOM GT 2.8 V6...IT LOOKS NICE!

Original 18" x 8" Motegi Roja's, 225-40-ZR18's front, 265-35-ZR18's rears, coil-overs, KYB shocks & struts, 2.5" drop, K&N filters, Holley side scoop, upgraded front & rear sway bars, poly, fully loaded, tinted, & some other nice custom stuff...

1985 GT SILVER CONVERSION PROJECT, 3800 SC SII powered, doesn't look as nice (yet), but it sure goes!

I'm in for sure, somehow managed to get that weekend off! Can't wait! Last year was a blast. See everyone then. All systems go for the Fiero too!

------------------

We should be able to make this one.


Edited: The Fiero is hoping to make this cruise.... motor failure ... motor swap in (SLOW) progress

I'd love to do this one again buttttttttt. I'll be just getting back from the Vermont/New York road trip and I'm not sure I can swing this road trip too. Time will tell.

I think I should be good for this one... but that'll depend on what's going on for my birthday.

Hmmm, morning after Grape & Wine Festival - if I'm under the legal limit the next morning I'll be at Lothar's for 9am.

I would also like add my 2 cent suggestion of stopping at 2-3 different wineries this year as there are several to choose from along the route.

Maybe I've just attended too many years in a row

thanks Ryan & all to date!
there may be a new cruise in october, for the fall colours...tbd!

bumpity!

I work most weekends and never know until the last minute but if I can I'll probably bring out my Formula.

Ill try and whip out with the 328 :-) screw work

Getting Closer.....2 weeks from today....Lothar

Darn.. I am in Germany that day. Hopefully you get rained on and postpone for Oct..

Fiero will definately not be making it, haven't even started the swap yet. Waiting for parts to come in from the states and decided to go over the motor thoroughly before re-installing in the SE, plus a couple of mods. We will be showing up at Lothar's in the morning to see everyone, Zoey like car rides too. As for the cruise, haven't yet decided on going now that Zoey will be with us, she likes to work her own feeding, sleeping and washroom breaks

I think I may be able to work this one in after all. If I do I'll will be bringing a recent Fiero newbie along.

I'm working on getting monday off so I can do this run

Getting Closer.....1 week to go....Lothar

Please....a show of hands if you are coming....

Nice to see everyone for the pre cruise, next cruise I hope to have a Fiero in running condition, but Zoey will not be with us then, unless I can find that rare & elusive 82 Fiero with a car seat.

Another GREAT CRUISE, thanks to Nick....we wouldn't be doing this without you. Thanks everyone for coming over, Fiero guys and gals are the best......Lothar and Fran...
