So they told me to call back the hotel directly and I did and told them I needed to make the reservation directly thru them. It took the guy several minutes to find the OMC rate but finally he got it done. I plan to trailer to Knoxville TN and spend the night with my son and his wife. I will probably unload and drive from there. So is anyone going through the Knoxville TN area on Thursday the 4th so we can caravan? Good Opeling.

Anyone thru Knoxville?

I'll be. Not sure when though. I'm leaving from Des Moines.

Tom, Google Maps says I will. It looks like a good place for an overnight stop on the 4th for me.
Not sure I'll make it that far though. It'll depend on when I set off from Des Moines.
If you want to try to caravan from Knoxville, I'm game if I make it that far the first day out.
It sounds like you plan to leave Knoxville on the 4th though. Correct?

Roy,
It looks like Ms. Opel and I will be sharing time with all you good folks after all. Register me ASAP.
Thanks.

Tom

Mark I may change my plans and go into Charlotte on Friday instead. So if you spend the night in Knoxville we can go together.

Ignore that remark. I left my email open on my home computer and it downloaded immediately. I will get it when I get home. Thanks.

Well, that is simply great to hear! I have you registered to be in the show! See you then! We will talk before then...

Sawdust:
Hans. I'm trying to reply to your PM but it says your blocking.

[Aardvaark]

Roy. Can we know about how many are registered?

Right now, we have 30 Opels showing up. But 7 just registered in the last few days so the registrations are picking up. I think anything over 35 to 40 Opels would be great! With the way things are picking up, I think that is a good possibility.
Everyone who shows up with an opel, will walk off with something in their hands to show they where here at the 2008 Opel Nationals! If someone doesn't win one of the many trophies, you will still get something!

Roy,

Count me in for Charlotte. I made my hotel reservation for the 5th & 6th. I might even get Kerri to come along. I'm looking forward to it.

I have you down to attend! Glad you can make it. Are you bringing an Opel?

[Gary]

Put me down also. I'll decide soon if I'm driving or flying.

Great to hear you are coming!!! If you drive, are you going to drive an Opel? If you fly, are you going to fly an Opel?

Have you reserved your room at the hotel yet, Gary? You will need to before Monday, August 4th. The hotel releases any un-claimed rooms from our club back to the general public. It will be a crap shoot to get a room then. Rooms are hard to find during the AutoFair event.

Glad you are coming!

Just got the reservation. They tried pushing a higher rate and transferred me to their national reservations center where I got the $99.00 rate.

Driving will be either the wagon or the comfortable Senator.
