Guys - We're 3 weeks out, so here are the latest
revisions to the agenda:

3-5 p.m. The prototype car is supposed to be at the Chrysler Museum (we'll make sure ahead of time this year) so we could tour the museum and view the orig XFire again as a group. This time slot is a placeholder for now.

The Post Bar :: Auburn Hills, Detroit, Ferndale, Novi We have the entire 2nd floor and group parking is in the restaurant lot.

SATURDAY:
8:30 A.M. Depart for display area, which is the same location as last year (13 Mile west of Woodward) and will again be shared with the Prowler group. Note: Maps with all dining, display, lodging etc... locations will be provided this year. No one will get lost! Be sure to get a parking pass from me Fri or Sat a.m. - No one will be allowed into the display area without a pass.
9:00 a.m - 6:00 p.m. Enjoy the Cruise, lunch on your own.
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Dinner at Brady's Tavern 13 Mile & Southfield (approx 1.5 miles from display area) Welcome to Brady's This place is my sister's 2nd home so she may join us with her Boxster. We have the entire back room and group parking in a lot next to the tavern. After dinner, cruise Woodward one last time (it closes at 9) and back to the hotel parking lot.
SUNDAY
Breakfast and departure for some. Others will provide a XFire escort for Valky as far as Lake Michigan and then tour the western side of the state for a few days. MsGump and Wolverine are setting up the itinerary.
So let me know, sooner rather than later, via a PM if you are interested in attending the Gilmore, Lingenfelter, Deuce of Spades movie and Fri/Sat dinners, so I can relay the info to the Prowler group and confirm reservation with the restaurants.
