Well, guys, looks like you will have two crossfires with untested installed wavetracs coming up Saturday morning. I don't have any time to put miles on them since I will be on the road working all week. Crossing my fingers we did it right....lol.... Coupe is insane with the stock tires...roadster going under the knife as we speak...

So in the spirit of saving my marriage and possibly my life, I will be bowing out. Hope the weather holds up, it seems to be cooling down. Post lots of pics.
Regrets,

Final/Final (until we change it) Agenda !!!!

THURSDAY: Gilmore Museum near Battle Creek, MI. This is one of the top five car museums in the U.S. Welcome to the Gilmore Car Museum

FRIDAY:
9:45 A.M. The Prowler Group will depart their hotel, The Hyatt Place, on Opdyke in Auburn Hiils at 9:45 a.m. to meet at the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton, MI by 11:00 a.m. JM - You can meet them there at 11.
Lingenfelter Collection
3-5 p.m. Chrysler advised me today that, unfortunately, the Crossfire concept car WILL NOT be available at the Chrysler Museum. I'll leave this time slot in place for those who still want to visit the musem or do a group shot in the circular drive in front of the museum. I will be there handing out parking passes for Sat. If you are touring the museum, get the 2 for 1 kewp here: Walter P. Chrysler Museum
5-6 p.m. Massive taligating in our hotel parking lot!!
6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Dinner at The Post (approx 2 miles from hotel)The Post Bar :: Auburn Hills, Detroit, Ferndale, Novi We have the entire 2nd floor reserved and Crossfire group parking is in the restaurant lot.
7:30 - 11:00 p.m. Car show and outdoor movie at the Chrysler Museum $10 admission. Note: If you plan to attend, reserve your spot here:
Walter P. Chrysler Museum Attendance is limited to the first 125 people. The director of the movie will be there for questions/autographs and she will be displaying the car featured in the movie. DEUCE OF SPADES, a period hot rod film. Bring a blanket or lawn chair if you plan on attending. Out of towners - PM me if you need me to bring blanket/chairs for you.
Option B - If you choose not to attend the movie, Plan B includes cruising Woodward or tailgating in the hotel parking lot from 7:30 p.m. until 8:29 a.m. Sat.

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. 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. No exceptions.
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. We have the entire back room and group parking in a lot adjacent to and north of the tavern.
After dinner, cruise Woodward one last time (it closes at 9) and back to the hotel parking lot.
9:00 - 9:45 p.m. Courtyard Marriott. Crossfire Program Manager, Scott Wilkins, will address the group here. His presentation includes early design sketches of the Crossfire, why/how it was changed for production, the SRT plan and other key facts during the 5 year run at the Karmann plant. You will have ample time for Q & A.



SUNDAY
Breakfast and departure. The Western Michigan Crossfire Tour Group will depart with the Chicago contingency, break off somewhere around Indiana and then enjoy a 3-4 day tour of Sleeping Bear Dunes, Traverse City wineries, etc...

Housekeeping Issues:
  • Dinner reservations - Need 'em by tomorrow p.m. This is the busiest bar night ($$$) of the year for restaurants in close proximity to Woodward, so the owners I'm working with want an accurate headcount. This is not difficult folks - Please let me know.
  • If you have handheld radios, bring 'em (with spare batteries)
  • Booze - No public alcohol consumption is allowed at the Dream Cruise. Polizia ticket heavily and the fines generally run around $200. Your call.
  • If you are a music fan, the following groups are performing this weekend at venues within minutes of the hotel: J. Geils Band, Maroon 5/Train, Dweezil Zappa, Lil Wayne and George Thorogood.
PM me with any comments, questions concerns.
Weather is supposed to be lower to mid 80's & Sunny Fri & Sat.

If it wasn't for the Michigan Trip afterward, I might have stayed an extra night to see George...

aremann2 - This is your 1st post. Are you an active forum member or just looking for a free place to park at the Cruise?

Bean - In your humble opinion, which set would look best on this beast?

Jim, I am not for changing plans at the last minute. It was just a thought.

George is one of my favorites of all the DVD concerts we have. It sounds like he sees life through the bottom of shot glass, which is ok with me, as long as it is not me

I'm posting this as a community service: A friend has approx 10 sets of NIB Crossfire salt/pepper shakers, the ones from Chrysler. He's stoping by the parking area on Sat. if your interested in buying a set. I didn't ask price but I'd guess they're in the range of $20. See y'all Friday.
