Michigan club ?

jgenglerj · 11-27-2005

Gang; Anyone interested in forming a group in Michigan besides me? Jim

greensmurf20 · 11-27-2005

i would love a michigan opel club, kinda like what georgia's opelers have done!!! i have noticed alot of recent michigan members in the past 6 or 8 months.

asdasc · 11-27-2005

I think it is time!

jgenglerj · 11-27-2005

We met in June 2002, had 7 GTs there, in 2003 had 4GTs there with others. We met in Raynor Park in Mason (just south of Lansing). Couldn't get any interest after that. Jim

i remember the 2003 meet geting setup for the michigan crowd........i had just joined and didnt have the rustbucket GT at the time roadworthy in time.

asdasc · 11-28-2005

Actually, in 2003 you had 3 more people and 2 more cars, but we got there late and everyone had left!
I would love to try it again when the weather gets warm. Are we all on the Map thing? Maybe that would allow us to pick a good location. I know of at least 3 of us that are close by in the NE Detroit suburbs.

Actually, the place in Mason was pretty good. anywhere near Lansing is pretty central. If the group in the UP wants to come down, we could move it towards Mt. Pleasant.

sounds good to me, hopefully i'll have my car up and running when spring hits.

It's to bad I don't live in Michigan any more, then you guys would have one member more

jgenglerj · 11-28-2005

Gang; Lets try to plan a meet for May or June of next year.We have lots of time to brainstorm. Anyone with ideas, lets hear 'em. Jim

greensmurf20 · 11-28-2005

i always thought frankenmuth would be a good show to make a opel meet out of, usually in may, frankemuth michigan. if i'm not mistaken, its pretty central to the state. i'd think best bet is to find out what/where to make things convenient for everybody.

jgenglerj · 11-28-2005

69GT; Not having your car done is not a good enough excuse to not come to the meeting. Bringing an Opel to the meeting is expected, but not a requirement. Jim

simplemind7 · 11-29-2005

i'm not from michigan, but if theres a good amount of people going i'd probably drive down and meet some of you and check out your cars

baddbrad · 12-02-2005

Well we do have a whole lot better weather the that state up north.

Gary · 12-05-2005

Poof... You are now a "club".

jgenglerj · 12-05-2005

I'd sooner be in Michigan in the spring, summer and fall. You win in the winter, here we have to rest our Opels (keep them out of the salt) Jim

greensmurf20 · 12-06-2005

awesome gary, many thanks!!! i like michigan, the seasons are always interesting, gives a wide variety of things to do throughout the year. snowmobiling is only 2nd to ripping it up in an opel!

greensmurf20 · 12-06-2005

here is a link to the frankenmuth show from 2005. it was featured on "my classic car" earlier this spring. if a "big show" is more for or likings this seems to be a nice place. my only worry is we'll surely not fit in with muscle cars and hot rods, lol, and maybe we'd be better off with our own small opel meet? just trying to throw out ideas and get a ball rolling somwhere at least

i tend to forget to paste my links when i'm worried about a teacher seeing what i'm doing

lets get feedback to what people think....

jgenglerj · 12-06-2005

Gang; A couple of months ago I became curious enough to go through the Opel List and found that there were 42 people registered from Michigan, I personally know of 3 others not on the list with Opels within 25 miles of Chesaning. There has to be enough interest for a club to meet from time to time. Jim
