Opel's in my yard
I am going to try for June 7th. That is a Sat. I am going to try and get a day that is not to hot and not to cold.It will be as long as someone is here. no time limit. All day long I will supply the food and drink. And hope for a lot of Opel conversation. This is open with or without a car, just interest in Opels. You can even bring something other than an opel. I am about 45 miles North of Indianapolis In. and maybe 120 miles South of Chicago, Just off of I-65, small town,750 peeps, pretty easy to find, zip 46035, for map quest. TX# here is 765-430-6921 for any one who is interested, if you look in my photo's there is past event there Once again I am seeing what interest I get by starting this thread. it is still a long way away, but it will be here before you know it. any one having anything to sell or give away can bring it also. this year I will be giving away an Opel as a door prize, so to speak. I will talk about that later . so if there is any interest in this, reply here and am looking forward to this year.

I had planned to post sooner. I think you have come up with a great time for this. I would think this could be a really great spring event in the midwest. Connie and I should be able to make it unless work gets in the way. |

yard
Hope to have a few more people here this year, It seems to get a little bigger each year, i think we had 8 cars and about a dozen people here last year, I have a big yard that can stand a lot more cars and peeps. Oh about the Opel I will give as a door prize, WILLIS hit the nail on the head as I bought it from him about 2 or so years ago from him
Oh ya , Not just Indiana people. any where is welcome. We have had Ohio, Ill. Mi. Mo. So where ever you are from Welcome

Paul,
Yes, June will be here before you know it. You know that I will plan on coming once a date is finalized. Hopefully, if I have knee surgery in late spring, I will recover enough to drive my Opel working the clutch. June shouldn't be too hot, but you know how the weather can be in Indiana. Yes, lets fill your large yard with Opels. Perhaps in mid September, we could have an Opel gathering at the Apple-Popcorn Festival in Brookston. For the past two years now, Haulinss.com has had a car show at the festival with only one Opel...mine! Take care. I'll call you sometime soon; you need to fill me in on progress on your 71 GT! Hmm, door prize huh? Randy S in Brookston |

Good Afternoon- I have been a member of this board for a while, however I don't know that i've ever posted anything. I would like to come to your event this summer. I live in Valpo. and have always liked the Opel GT. I have several other cars and am thinking of adding a GT to the stable. Are there typically cars for sale at your event? At 45 miles north of Indy, are you close to Crawfordsville??
Thank You- Geffen928 |

I am just off of SR 52 two miles north of SR 28 in a town called Colfax, Pretty easy to find. just go to map quest and look for zip 46035, Or call me at 765-430-6921.
This is open to any one that likes Opels. not just ownersand you can bring anything to it, Or just yourself. I think someone had one for sale one time. You just never know. Valpo is north if I think right, Easy to get here, stright up 65 to 28. if you need more info just post or call
