Re: Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan
I have booked under the group. My name is not on the list, but I do have a confirmed room at the group rate. Could be because we now do not drive a cross fire. See you soon.

Re: Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan
Hey Guys,
My trip to Woodward is in a bit of jeopardy at the moment as my brother and family plan to visit that weekend and trying to say "I'm just gonna go to the store and get some milk" while actually driving to Detroit from DC isn't gonna work.
I'm trying to convince him to change his plans, but if not, I'll be very disappointed not attending. I'm working at it.
Ichon wrote me last night about joining up for the drive from DC/Baltimore area on Thursday evening (see his note above). If anyone else is planning to go from this area please let us know. I'm booked for Friday and Saturday nights only so i'd have to sort out the Thursday night stay if we leave on Thursday.

Chaz - you and I should meet up in Frederick (70 west) I think thats easiest for us to do. I sent you my number, give me a call when you can and we'll talk.

Re: Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan
Guys - We're 3 weeks out, so here are the latest revisions to the agenda:
THURSDAY: The Prowler group has invited us to join them for a trip to the Gilmore Museum near Battle Creek, MI. This is one of the top five car museums in the U.S. More details to follow. http://gilmorecarmuseum.org/
FRIDAY:
A.M. Time TBD The Prowlers have again invited us to attend the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton MI. A few of us attended this last year and it was incredible. More details to follow. Lingenfelter Collection
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.
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 and group parking is in the restaurant lot.
7:30 - 9:30 p.m. Car show (us & Prowlers) in the Chrysler Museum parking lot
9:30 - 11:00 p.m. Outdoor movie at the Chrysler Museum. $10 admission. The director of the movie will be there for questions. DEUCE OF SPADES, a period hot rod film
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.

Re: Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan
What a terrific weekend of events !!!
The dinner choices for both nights also look great !!!
Jim, You have done a wonderful job putting all this together and organizing with the Prowler club. Looks to be the best Woodward GTG ever.
We filled our room block at the Marriott with reservations for all 20 rooms.
Looking forward to late evening tailgating with everyone back at the Marriott on Friday and Saturday night.

Re: Woodward Dream Cruise & GTG - August 20, 2011 - Michigan
Jim, you have out done yourself this year, great planning.
Molly and I will try to be there for dinner, so mark us as yes and we will call en route and let you know if we are running behind...
**Coupe Owners**
2 Years ago I brough a large canopy and set it up when we were still in the other parking lot. I am sure many can attest to the fact that if we did not have that shade (and another 1-2 EZ up canopy's) we would have fried. This last year was not bad, especially with the drizzle, but if it is dry and hot we will need some place to get out of the sun. There is nice natural shade at this lot, just being proactive.
I am going to bring a 10x10 canopy with us, and I ask anyone else with access to one and room in their car to consider it. If nothing else, I can put it up over FPs car the night before, you know, so his car cover doesn't get any dust on it

Been busy and not keeping up with this thread. I take it that no one is interested in the Durango Plant Tour on Friday AM?
