Once I get more info, I'll start a thread for next year.

One thing is certain, we've got to get a spot ON Woodward. Hopefully between those of us that are local or fairly local, we'll get a great spot (we will have to start working on it ASAP).

If we had 19-20 Crossfires attend this year, we should be able to double that next year, right?

Thanks again to all those that attended.
Ryan, thanks for organizing this year's event, and thanks again for taking the lead on organizing next year's. I hope we do double the number of members we had this year. There were a lot of cars that were from out of state. On my way back home I came across 5 Prowlers that were caravanning back home, and they were from Colorado, so distance hopefully is not a reason not to attend.

So...how about that movie of Roy blasting up and down the parking lot friday night? I'm sure a lot of members would be interested in checking that out! Any chance of it being posted somewhere?

(I still want that exhaust)!

Thumbs up Re: Woodward Dream Cruise - August 18th, 2007 - Motown

Heck, you don't even need to own a Crossfire to be part of the fun. Thanks everybody for letting me and my old school crossfire tag along with you.

It has gotten to the point that Friday night is the same as it was a few years ago on Saturday. The group met for dinner last night, they came south on Woodward to 13 mile - bumper to bumper. We met up with them there. Like big kids, the guys all going over each others cars, some great add on equipment and ideas. We really like the lighted foot panels and the dual exhaust was "roaring"! It is so cool I'm sitting outside with a sweat shirt, blanket, slippers and a dog in my lap! Last year it rained and most years you cook in the heat. It looks to be amazing weather, the pictures should be excellent. Did hear a huge noise, tires and crash. The emergency cars racing by, so someone must of gotten hurt. That is a problem with the fast cars, young adults, some drinking and people walking all over. My husband heard the police are giving tickets to anyone jay walking, which is new this year. The first Cruise I got a ticket for drinking in public, but when I read it over it was a "Royal Oak special ticket" printed for the Cruise and not real. The cop had me going for a minute! Hey I was told who ever posts here owns of the XF, well all right! There will be a lot of pictures posted so you can see the group. A really nice group of people, I'm impressed some drove so far to come.
Sorry Ann that we didn't get to say good-bye to you and Gary; I acknowledge that you are the owner and he is just the other person, taggin' along.

We enjoyed the conversation on Friday night and hope to see you next year.

Roy and Diane

I've added some Woodward pics to my Gallery. I didn't take as many pictures. My camera was acting up. Check them out when you have a chance.

Roy and Diane, We wondered what happened to you. Saw you drive north on 75 never to return!! Just glad nothing happened. I tried calling your phone number, but the Canadian number wasn't getting it. Gary and I also enjoyed Friday's dinner with you and yes we are looking forward to next year. Keep in touch, it would be great for the group to get together without the dream cruise traffic so we cruise Woodward and actually stay together. Shoot we could go from 8 mile to Pontiac in 25-35 minutes.

Just uploaded the last of our pics. The stitched ones were overexposed, I tried correcting the ones I could salvage. I'm sorry about that but that's a good excuse to do it all over next year.

If you are anything like me, it won't work. I would already be wondering what that string was for.
