Default [EVENT] ***** Announcing the 5TH ANNUAL LI FALL FOLIAGE CRUISE!!: Sunday, Nov 2nd ***

Well, the Fall is officially here and you know what that means, it's time to start planning the 5th Annual Long Island Fall Foliage Cruise! This cruise is very near and dear to my heart since it was the first cruise I organized for the forum and wow, how time has flown by. Below you can see a few pics of past fall foliage cruises over the years and hopefully, with the great company of everyone here, this one will be the best one yet!!

With the Kerbeck TFT cruise being moved up to early October, it's freeing up the first week of November which is the peak of foliage in Long Island so we should have some amazing colors!!

As like in past years, I'd love to have at least one of every generation and hopefully, with a little luck, maybe we can have our first ZR1 on this cruise. The Fall Foliage cruise was the wolfpack's debut of a Z06 running, hopefully, we can get a local Long Island ZR1 to join us.

I've got a great route planned as well a great luncheon for everyone out on the North Fork in Long Island's wine country so sign up and let's bring in the Fall in style!!!

Date: Sunday, November 2nd


Time: 9 am

Location: Parking Field # 3 at Eisenhower Park, Long island
Click the link below to get directions to the meeting spot:

To Keep with tradition, I'm planning to print up some 5th Annual Fall Foliage Tshirts, if you're interested, let me know and I'll start getting a headcount going here if there's an interest. This year, we might try something a bit different and donate a portion of each t-shirt sale to St. Judes. We could kick off the 2009 St. Jude Hospital donations with this event. I could even put something on the tshirts such as St. Jude donator. I still have to work out the price of each tshirt as well as the logistics. Just let me know your tshirt size and how many you'd like when you post that you are attending.



5th Annual Fall Foliage Cruise Tshirt with donations toward St. Judes:

Humanoid 2.0 - 1 XXL and 1 s
Trumpvette - 1 Med and 1 Lg
MarkieMark - XL
Jersey Jay - XL
Richy1 - Med
NYCHASM - XL
Jwerkjr - 1 Lg and 1 S
Tiggers - 1 XL and 1 S
Bluman - XL
David C3 - 1-XL, 1-L, 1-M and 1-S
6spd98 - 1 Lg
Gearhead82 - 1 Lg
defender90 - 1 LG and 2 S
subfixer - 1 M and 1 L
HWY HNTR - XL and XS/S
OLD-GUY - Two XL
20ngone - 1 L and 1 M
Thegame - 1 XL T shirt and 1 S
Capkarl - 1 2XL
Shop14 - 1L and 1XL

We would be coming down from Windsor Locks - any reasonable hotels in the area of the starting point? If we're coming (my vote) we'd head down Saturday evening.

I'll check and post up the hotel and prices. I promise, it'll be worth the trip down, every year we do the Fall Foliage cruise, it gets better and better.

Hope to see you there!

Good News -- I'll be happy to take those tickets off of your hands.

Bad News -- You're NOT going to let me take those tickets off of your hands.

We can't commit to anything until we get our car back

Alex put me in for an XL shirt and whatever portion being donated to St. Jude. I'll mail you a check when you figure out the cost. Don't know if I'll be able to make it due to Dad's condition.
