I am hoping to drive the Kadett, but time is not on my side. With work and family obligations,it may not be ready.

Can former Opel owner stop by for a beer? I'll bring a clean 84 Rabbit GTI.

A Rabbit? Hmmm, we'll make a special exception for you Kevin. Once an Opel owner you're always a part of our group.

I'm out. Last month, I committed to play in a golf tournament on the 12th.

One of these days I'll make it.....

Well, I just thought I'd ask, there was really no need for the insult.

There was no insult intended, It's just Dwayne's sense of humor coming through.

Sorry for the absence for the past week, but I think we need to start finalizing things for the meet as it's only two weeks away. The current list of attendees looks like this:

Rick
Jim
Todd
Dave
Ron
Dennis
Tom
Kevin
Bob
Gregg?
Jordan & Lottie?
Mitch?

Main dish will be the hot roast beef sandwiches again since I didn't hear any objections. Dave will be bringing some deserts, Rick usually brings pasta salad and hoagies, Todd offered to bring some beverages.

Let me know if I missed anything. Any additional input is certainly welcome as we near the date.

Hey: I think I read my name a couple of times in this thread, but didn't really get a formal invitation! Anyway, I do have my kids that weekend, and would like to know the schedule of activities, and whether other 12 and 14 year old boys might be around. (Private message to Jim: How far is it from Rockville, Maryland to Duane's house?) Are out of towners staying in a hotel? Thanks for the update.

According to Google maps, it's 177 miles.

I stayed in the Courthouse Motor Inn in Doylestown last year, it had the best rates around. Nothing fancy, just a bed to sleep in.

Mitch,

There's no such thing as a "formal" invitation to this event, all are welcome. Children and adults of all ages are welcome to come and enjoy a weekend of food, fun and friendship. My daughters will be here (ages 16 & 13) and Dave may bring his son along. I wouldn't really say there is a schedule of events as we're all a pretty laid back bunch. We tend to let the weekend unfold as it goes along. There will be a lot of Opel and non Opel related conversation, plenty of food and beverages, games for those interested, perhaps a cruise of the back roads and covered bridges and we typically line all of the cars up in the front yard along the road. We usually draw in some passersby and ocassionally initiate some entertaining comments from motorists.

I have attached a list of area lodging for those in need.

Hope to see you here!

Duane

Duane,

Looking forward to the drive out in the GT. Brian & the "Free Kadett" will also be driving out from Pittsburgh. It's looking much better & running since you all saw it last.

Looking forward to seeing you Tom. It will be great to see Brian and the old freebie again too. It'll be cool to see that car make the trip out and back under its own power.

Glad to hear Patrick will be joining us. At least your Manta doesn't have far to go. It should make it......

Hey, what's this "hope" crap??? You're a local boy now, so you're practically obligated to attend.
