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.

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).

Jim

Gotta get there early for a shady spot.....do we have a total count of opels for the show?
So the 1st one there can reserve an area big enough

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 .

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.

It says it is about an hour and 45 minutes from my house to the show. If i run to Daves then to Duanes, I think it will be alot of extra time. I have to look into running to Daves first.

Duane;

I'll probably take 73W to 662 North to Fleetwood. Are you going that way? If so, I'd like to hook up with you.

I hadn't really decided on a route yet, but that one sounds good to me. We could meet up with you somewhere if you like.

Just let me know what is the closest intersection to either 73 or 662 you would like to meet up at. I pick up 73 in Schwenksville which is right by the restaurant we ate at our last gathering

Thumbs up

I'll be driving to Harrisburg Fri night to stay at my brother's house. That way my drive should be about as long as you guys.

Jeff, I have your GT rim ready to go & will get Duane's case of refreshment later today.
