Just returned from Charlotte AutoFair where I met some of the club members who were very helpfull with advice on my recently aquired 73 Opel GT. BQS4 gave me the web sites to visit including this one so that I can begin the restoration of my Opel, many thanks to you Gene, hope to see you again soon.
I am a recently retired "old fart" who now has the time to spend in my garage doing what I enjoy. I own a 63 Nova (older restoration), a 70 Nova that I have driven 28k miles since 5/06 and a "just completed" 70 Skylark GSX clone.
Looking forward to my visits to the list.

Bob;
I just got back myself, about 5:30, but, again, welcome to the Opel Community and if you need help, info, parts, you can get it all here on the site, or at OGTS or you can holler at me, as I'm just up the road in Snellville.

That was a quick response! We are planning to go to "Cruisin the Coast" in Biloxi, MS 10/7/09 if the weather is nice but may be able to make the trip. My plan is to start taking the car apart this week so I was just kidding about tools, etc.. What time should be plan to get there and exact location I can tell my GPS will be helpful. Bring food?

Bob;
You don't bring food, unless you just HAVE TO bring something like cookies cake, or dessert

, Edwin is doing it all, you just bring your own beverages. Time, anytime after 10:30 am, Edwin is there getting things set up. As for how to get there, I don't know if you can input it in your GPS, but, you go up I-75 North, out of Atlanta, headed towards Chattanooga, and get off at exit 285 "Red Top Mountain" When you cross the bridge, take the FIRST road/entrance to the right. The pavalion will be to the right as you enter the parking area. This is Saturday the 3rd of Oct. If you want to trailer you GT, that's up to you.

Your in good company with the GA group and already made contact with one of the greatest Opelers that you could have as a friend.
