Default Reno Car and Coffee

Since there is no cars and coffee out here in Reno, I will be at the Starbucks at 191 Damonte Ranch Pkwy, Reno, NV 89521 next Sunday at 830AM if anyone would like to join me. I see a few Vetts driving around here but no one seems to wave or say hello. Maybe we can get enough cars together regularly to start an event here.

I'd also post on the "Events and Regional" forum to help spread the word.

I was a vette owner there in Reno for a little over 3 years and tried to attend several events held by the Reno Corvette club, or whatever they call themselves. Not very friendly, or welcoming.
Mr Bill and Mr Jean were the only two I found worth spending time with. And frankly both those gentlemen are extremely knowledgeable and quite a hoot! You'd do well inviting/including those two...
I applaud your effort and were I there now I'd join you for sure...

Well Thanks Michael, I already told Mr. Jean about this and he said he would try to make it depending on weather and if he has plans that day.

Hi Stranger. Thanks for the kind words. We were sorry to see you move away, as we'd hope to get together more for road trips and other excuses to play. Hope things are going well for you.

I thought I had replied to this thread earlier, but perhaps it was just to Bill or another thread. I may make it over, we'll have to wait on the weather and see what's going on at the old homestead then.

EDIT: OK, I see now that I did post about this before, as there are 2 threads about it. I posted on the other one earlier.

Sounds like it would be fun. I'm taking my 49 truck to a show at the Bonanza on Saturday, but I and a couple of other vette owners might see you Sunday. Are you going, Bill?

That wasn't my post. I hadn't heard about it, but may have to check it out with my old truck.

Here's a link though.http://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_rn=9...w=1280&bih=880
