I am sorry but it seems Connie and I will not be able to make it this year. I just got our invitation to the Graduation of my Niece and of course it is June the 7th. I tried to convince myself and my wife she would not miss us but was told that my thought process was faulty. Having been to the graduation of both her siblings missing this would not be right. As usual the wife is quite correct. On the bright side I do not think I will have this problem next year.
All the rest of you have a good time.
John

Paul:

Allen and I are planning to come out and join you this year.

Vickie

Mach1Tom · 05-28-2008

Paul,

If all goes as planned, I will be caravaning with Vickie & Allen in my GT.
I'm looking forward to another Opel meet.

lezliewk · 05-29-2008

It will be great to see you all again, and meeting some new peolple also. Lets hope for great weather

Polker · 05-29-2008

I made the comment that I was about done with it and ready to Colfax. That was my first mistake. My wipers came on in the up position and stuck. Today I was working on the headlight wiring gremlin that arose when I changed a switch. The motor for the wipers started smoking. I hooked up a wire and the fuse panel started smolering...needless to say I am not a happy camper. If we can't get it fixed, we probably won't come. I was so looking forward to meeting people who share the obsession.

lezliewk · 05-30-2008

Sorry to hear about your bad luck

even if you don't have it fixed you can still come over without it. we have had quite a few people over without there car. Any way just a thought. Hope you get it fixed up

willis · 05-31-2008

Hay Polker, my GT is not running either. Why dont you come anyway, I am. I will bring you a fuse box if it will help.

kevinfier · 05-31-2008

Paul,

Add 2 more to your list please. My wife Christine and I will be able to make it.
Anything I can bring?

Kevin

lezliewk · 05-31-2008

Kevin, Just bring yourselfs. I should be OK with everything else.

lezliewk · 06-02-2008

Thomas and amy, I tryed to send you a email but the site would not let me so here is my address for map quest. 300 n.Columbia st. Colfax In. 46035. My cell is 765-430-6921, It is always with me

any way if you need any thing else just call

kevinfier · 06-02-2008

Paul,
Can you recommend any hotels in your area?
thanks,
Kevin

sawdust · 06-02-2008

HOTEL? In Colfax?

Next you will want to know where the local gas station is.

Polker · 06-02-2008

I think I have the lights down to the switchand the healight wires. When I hook up the switch and flip it I pop two or three of the headlight relay fuses. I hope it's not the relays. I haven't even looked at the wiper wires or the source of the smoke. Not a wiring expert by any means.

If we can work them out, we'll bring the car. I have been setting this as a finishing goal since I first heard about it, so it's a little disappointing to get this far and fall short.

Hey Kevin,
As Hans says, Colfax is pretty rural. Paul would know better, but a hotel would seem unlikely. However, Lafayette (home of Purdue U.) is only about 20 minutes? away, and the hotel choices there are abundant. There may even be some closer places, but I don't know the area well enough to suggest an alternative.
Hope to see you Sat.
Ron in Indy

lezliewk · 06-03-2008

Also GAS in Colfax??? Out to the interstate, or C"Ville on the way back to Ill. or Lafayette

Our little store closed a few months back. no gas

sawdust · 06-03-2008

What does the RAIN gauge say?

My weather today is your weather tomorrow.

lezliewk · 06-03-2008

As of today there is a 30% change of tstorms on Sat. Maybe we will be lucky

kevinfier · 06-03-2008

Made reservation for Sat. nite in Danville.
Will see you all early afternoon.
Kevin

saxybiker · 06-03-2008

We are looking forward to it! Stay dry and have a safe trip.

Vickie & Allen

lezliewk · 06-04-2008

Good deal. looking forward to meeting you

Lets hope for the wet stuff to stay away

lezliewk · 06-05-2008

There is still a 30% chance for rain in Colfax on Sat.

But that is a lot better than 70%. Hop
