Looks like you're only about 2 1/2 hours away from me. I appreciate you setting this up and would love to make it, but the snow and ice up here this weekend is going to prevent me from getting out and down your way. Boone and Blowing Rock got hit a bit harder than I did over here in TN. Hope that several of you guys can show up and maybe post some pictures, and then plan on another future get together when its a bit warmer.

Worthwhile UPdates: Sunday the Third . . . nice weather is scheduled, Chilly but sunny.
Scouted Location at the appropriate time the other day. Lets park on the West side. (Close to the entrance)
Caution - there is a pot hole from hell at the rear of the restaurant. Avoid the drive thru.
SONICS is next to and shares a driveway entrance with FATZ diner.

Someone mentioned the need for a quarter car wash for the need of a hand job. Several here.
Here is the closest, about 3/4 to a mile down the same street. (Main St.)
Car Wash

Lincolnton, NC. 28092

Fired my car up yesterday, will knock the dust off it today . . . . See You there ......ummmm Hot Dogs.

My car came from Statesville, so I will be there in spirit....

I was there about 1130, well, sort of. I drove past the exit on my way back from sugar mountain. I was gonna stop by on my way home but we left earlier than expecting. Maybe next time.

OK All Done. Nice turn out, nice folks.
Eight cars plus a few other owners.
Couple of NorthStars, one convertible, some awesome exhaust notes.
My small block Chevy car.
Several guys drove a good distance, in from Georgia.
Numerous contacts, a few Leeds on local finds.

Pictures to follow. If I figure out this PIP thing.

Thanks to all, we'll do it again. JIM. WWW.jimsfiero.com

This car is amazing. As nice as the pics look, they don't do it justice. It's flawless, in fabrication and execution.



Thanks Greg! I'm glad someone took pictures.
I was nursing a headache that "woke up with me" this morning, so I didn't think about taking any pictures.

I enjoyed meeting everyone and talking about our automotive obsessions.

I was real impressed with the good turnout and friendly people. The fiero's in attendance were from mild to wild. I was the silver 4.9 GT with no tag. I loved the door panels on socaljim's car, the clean, luxury car feel of spirits interior and clean engine bay, and raydars allante intake set-up, The list goes on and on. The fieros were all real nice, real inspiring, can't wait to do it again.

Nice Flock-O-Fieros. Wish I could have been there to see those in person and to meet those I've been corresponding with from the NC Fiero Club. The Georgia Fieros just wanted to meet with you all and give you some encouragement. We know it's been difficult to keep a NC club together, but you've got some good people there.

Thanks to the Georgia folks who showed up for making the trek. I know it was a long day. Hope next time I don't have to stay behind, again. BTW, did anyone follow Jack home to see where he lives? We're still planning to toilet paper his house aren't we?

Wished you could have been there, Charlie.
I'm happy that Mel is home (she posted on FB last night.)

I got your message late last night. Will give you a call this evening.

Thanks Guys for the compliments. Had great time.Really good to meet everyone. Jim's car is crazy as is Jim. Didn't know there were so many Fiero nuts in this area. Let's do it again maybe in Statesville.(Might be easier for some people to get there) Thanks to the Georgia club for coming out. Know it is a long drive for them.

I vote we have it Winston Salem! that way we can get a bunch of people to help with mine . If we wait till after end of april, I might be able to show up in a Fiero

Here's some of my pictures of this meet....




The engine's in the wrong place, but it's a nice ride...




Check out those FAT tires!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktlGu5CrVLg heres the beast in action. if you are into that sort of thing, check out my other videos as well.

Tell him his backup lights are stuck on...

I sure wish you guys would bring your cars down to Daytona this year.

Yep, Back up lights. I have never been behind the car when running. So, new to me.
But, if you'll notice they did go out as I drove out of the parking look.
Something is sticky I guess.
We'll check it out.

Thanks for posting the video. I've never seen or heard the car from a distance. I Like It.

Rpro, I am going to be at Daytona. Look forward to meeting you. My car is the gold GT. Be sure to look me up.

I hate I missed this!! Hopefully I'll be off of work for the next one!

Do I detect a 3rd engine vent?

Yes, the decklid has been vented. It is the K.Hines version.

Hey Guys when are we going to do this again? I,m ready to get out and have fun.

Not that far to Daytona!! meet up in Linconton or Charlotte ,,Take 77 down to Columbia & 26
take 26 to 95 then down to Daytona,,unfortunately the weather has been very warm,almost hot at mid day
Daytona is a party town at night ,or just hang out with the Fiero gang bangers
a few miles down the road you can find a beach in New symrna beach with few people on it.
Try green mound state park,walk south ,take drinking water ..its hot on a deserted beach
Disney,,Universal or Orlando Sea world (the best)is always a HOOT
How many times will you say ""Im going to Daytona"" before you actually do it.??
another March on the couch in front of the T.V. !! oh well, its the life i chose

I know about getting to Daytona. I have a part-time job delivering cars (and trucks) for a local dealership. I have been all over Florida. It takes 8 hrs from Hickory,NC to Daytona, Fla. My wife and I will be in Daytona for the Spring Turkey Run and the Fiero show. We will be leaving for the show on fri. March 22nd and come back home on Sun. We have a lady staying at our house whil we are gone to feed the livestock and the guard dog. Looking forward to meeting everyone and just having a great time.
Uhlanstan, I have niece that lives in Orlando and works for the Blueman Group. Look me up at the show and I'll tell you more.

I didn't say she was an OLD lady. She is about 40 and is a really good shot. She uses my range quiet often. Speaking of shooting I think I will go practice.
Well I bet by now you realize that we way out in the country and pretty remote.
