I only got back into Opels so that people I'd never met before would like me.
Now I feel all warm and fuzzy, or is that the beer?
Jim
Yeah, that's right Jim, we only like you for your Opels. It has nothing at all to do with the person that you are.

Here's a next to final bump. I'm still planning on heading up the night before and will get to the grounds between 8 and 9. We should try to secure a shady spot for our gang.
I can testify that the Jeff's "stinger" lives up to its name though I was lucky to be out of range when it did.

Weather forecast for Saturday as of now, Sunny High of 95 degrees!!!
Good thing since I'll be installing the wiper switch at the show. Just make sure we get a really good shady spot.

Dave,
I need to do a little digging but won't forget your wiper switch and will be happy to install it myself if you want, no worries. Just hope you don't find rain on the way out, (though your forecast makes it sound unlikely).

Updated headcount, I am bringing the Manta and Mike is going to bring his GT.
Duane, what time do you plan on heading over, still might try to meet up at your place on the way to the show.

I guess we should leave here by 7:00 am to get there around 8:30 or 9:00. I think it would be fun to go together if possible. I still can't decide which car to take though.

Duane...where are you located? I wouldlike to meet up, but if its way out of the way...Im coming from alittle below Philly.
Karl
Hi Karl,
I'm in Central Bucks County just above Doylestown. My street address is 5472 Stump Rd Pipersville PA 18947 if you'd like to mapquest it. It would be great if you could meet us here and join the caravan. Perhaps you could meet at Daves and come here with him.

I am at 205 Carl Avenue, Edgewater Park, NJ 08010. I am 1 mile from Route 130, and within 5 miles of both 295 and the turnpike. If we go to Duane's we'd cross the Burlington Bristol Bridge, onto 95N, then up 611 near Newton, PA. Takes about an hour to get to Duanes from here. It is a nice 45 mph ride most of the way.
