2009 opel's in my yard

Thought I would start this thread to let every one know that is is about time for Opel's in my yard again. WOW, Time goes by. I am shooting for the first sat in June again. June 6th. Maybe the rain will go somewhere else this year. as before just bring yourself. I will supply the food. you supply the talk. don't even have to bring an Opel. Just the interest. As before there may be some other cars. That is all right. I like all old cars. I am trying to get a guy to bring a 1969 Corvette. The grown up Opel If you will. So start thinking about it

Hey Paul,
I'm looking forward to getting together with you and the other mid-Westers. This is a fun event, and gets better every year. For those that haven't made it to Colfax yet, take a look at the Opels in my Yard group here: http://www.opelgt.com/forums/groups/opel-s-my-yard.html Let's hope that all the rain we got last year bought us a little "Weather Karma" for this year.
Cheers,
Ron in Indy

As the saying goes " Lord willing and the river don't rise" I plan on being there. I know last year I had a graduation pop up on me but I think I have most of the inlaws and outlaws out of school now. Your event is a good time and I hope it continues to get bigger.

Well Paul, I don't think it has stopped raining for the last 30 days, so I think all of that moisture will have to be used up by June!

Got room for one more?

Paul,
At this point, I have intentions to try to make it to your gathering of Opels on Saturday, June 6th. My role as a caregiver for my Mom is something that changes from day to day but as it is today, my brother may be able to cover that weekend. I'll let you know if I can not make it.
