Hey guys,

I own a 1981 Ferrari 308 with a Fiero rear end, engine and tranny.
Scurvy told me about your meet in another thread,. Wish I could be there, but Sunday's out for me.
Please keep me posted if you do another one.

Also, do you guys know of any good Fiero specialists in or around this area? I live just outside Richmond.
I need to find a shop knowledgeable about Fiero's to help me with some rear suspension upgrades I want to do.
I can be contacted at timw@erols.com

Thanks

I would recommend me, but I haven't gotten my shop going yet. I'm going to be opening one in the Hampton Roads area at some point. Just gotta get my stuff together and get someone to give me the money to do it.

I can probably make it on Sunday now that's it's 11am. I'm not exactly a morning person.

Anyone else going to make Sunday at 11? Copy below and add your name.

Well, I only got my axle and seals a few minutes ago, so don't plan on me coming. It's too risky to test drive it on a long trip like that. It's over 1 1/2 hours just to get there.

Maybe next time after I have some confidence in this thing. I'm bummed, but having you guys held up for my Purple-Pain would be a bigger bummer.

One bright spot, though: Take lots of photos and I can do a writeup in Domestic Driver for our January issue! Let me know if you are interested.

lets confirm on saturday who is going since some people have a long ride and I would hate to have them do that if no one is going. It's still a on for me weather permitting. Hopefully we get another rainy day. It would seem like Carlisle then.

So are we on for Sunday pending any horrific weather changes? Current forecast puts it at "nice out" for then. Let me know.

just found this, and im down to go, i dont feel like looking through the threads, but when, where, and should we bring leftovers? im in newport news, and can meet with anyone on my side of the water or on norfolk side and get a nice pack of fieros headed out to wherever it is. let me know!

and there was a BUMP in the night

It will be at central park in Fredericksburg, 95 to rt 3west, right at first light Carl Silver parkway, to probably target, but may change that to the expo center, check here on saturday.

got the specific name to the place or physical adress? im going to use mapquest (against my better judgment) and im assuming it will be at 11am according to other posts here.

I was thinking it would be easyest if we just meet at the Ruby Tuesday right there at the light see map I sent. But we may have to send someone to target in case someone doesnt see todays posting. BTW: can someone post the map sent?

Google maps says here.

Thanks doby for the google map... I sent my home made map to all but one of you, (he had no email here). 14 people showed and interest in this meet, and I think we have like 7 or 10 that SAID they are coming. As for me, even 5 or 6 would be worth it. Be really neat if we get 10 or more Fieros there!
BTW: You can see Ruby Tuesday on your right as you come up to the first light after you get off 95. Just make that right and then another quick right and you're there.

Sorry, but the overheating problem was not solved by fixing the direction of the fan. I did get about 15-20 minutes out of it before the temp crept up to 230. Damn!

I'll spend tomorrow playing around, trying to fix the problem. That's why I call her the "Purple-Pain!"

Don't forget to take some pics!

sax, did you try it without the thermostate yet?

I'll be there.

I'll attempt to make it but it depends on how insane traffic is. I think I still have prizm's # but I don't know if it's a cell or not.

11 am, ruby tuesdays. ill be there. btw francis, my email is merlot566jka@yahoo.com. this is my brothers profile. i never registered here since the fiero i bought was for him. but i have a fiero now, but ill just keep using his profile till he comes outa his coma...

see you guys there!!

If it's starts w/ 633 Home,519 is the Cell

quote Originally posted by Francis T:sax, did you try it without the thermostate yet?

Nope. I thought I had it figured out by correcting the fan, but I was wrong...

I sent you a quick email earlier. I'll be working on the car tomorrow

ok folks im going to go wash the gt. and head out, if anything changes here is my number....360-471-0684, name is jon anderson

I overslept. Sorry guys, I only had three hours of sleep friday and it caught up with me.

Sorry guys that I could not make it. I have a basement job that has to be done this week. My car is off the road for a couple more weeks anyway.

I'll catch the next one though.

Well I had a good time, even if there was only 5 fieros. Met some nice folks.

Glad to hear you got 5 Fieros! I was still here trying to fix my heating issue. I hope it was a good time!

Any good stories?

It was a story of hope. A story of loss. And a story of love. But that's what most Fiero stories are like. There was also a girl.

I got a few pics I'll post tomorrow. I don't think any of them are occupied by a girl though. Mainly Fieros.

-- Rodney

Should have advertised there was gonna be a girl there, couldda gotten Fieros from Md, WV and NC probably.

Glad there was an ok turnout, I hope Francis puts something together again, and that I can wake my sorry butt up.

It was good chatting with you guys.
My clutch was almost not disengaging at all by the time I got home. I guess I will need a new slave cylinder again.

Sorry I couldn't make it. This was the weekend my car was up on jacks while I replaced busted rear balljoints and installed new rear tierods. I got the email around 10am on Sunday, so I was kinda screwed regardless. Next up: replacing the entire rack, front tierods, and front balljoints. Then my car should be back on the road.

Sorry again guys, just caught me at a bad time (while getting super messy in the garage). Lemme know when this goes down again (so I can make repairs accordingly, haha). I'll gladly come on down with girlfriend and all

two cars followed me to my place afterwouds and I them took for a nice run on windy hilly river road. I think I went bit too fast for them through some of the turns, then I do know the road and they didnt. A one point as reached the top of a hill I just happedn to back off some, and presto, the was a cop sitting on the side of the road with his car pointed right us. Had I not backed off he would have likely had three Fieros in his his ticket book. The gods must have smiled on us.
And that was not a girl, she was a very nice young lady. And she just got out of the Navy. Her and her BF both like fieros. She has her own but it wasnt ready to bring. Oh your daughter was also a very nice youg lady too.

Yeah, good thing I didn't know the way, or we probably would have gotten tickets. I'd say you weren't going fast enough, really. I was on the brakes way too much. :P It was a fun drive though.

Anyway, I put up the pics I took. They're all above 100K and I don't feel like doing thumbnails and all that, so the link is here. Enjoy.

hey doby, what was the name of that seat cover maker again? I know it was a very short name but at my age, memeory is also a short term item at times.

Iggee or something like that. Jon was the one that got them though, not me. I'm going to be making some soon though, myself.

Try this;

then click into the folders. Doesn't seem to be too many. Sorry I couldn't make it fellas, will be there next time, promise. Was one of those cruis pics on the back end of route 3? (by the park?)

Yeah, the last pic was on rt 3 as we were heading to Francis T's house.

Sorry about the URL. I made a typo when uploading. It's fixed now. The pictures really are here now.
