Twice now I have gone to CF get-togethers and been the only one. Most recently: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=811801 Mostly the C5 guys. Had a great time any way. Hope to see some of you at one soon.

I won't be ready to fire up the LS1 for another couple of weeks, Dave is in the middle of a tranny swap, and I don't know about anyone else... I guess they have no excuses. As soon as my car is on the road, I'll be showing it off every chance I get. Look for me sometime end of May / beginning of June.

Great, look forward to seeing you around.

don't feel bad, my wifes 1973 is usually the only C3 that shows at our local events as well.

But, your C3 then becomes unique. :)

I've been pretty busy lately on the weekends, so I haven't had a chance to go to any events. I've noticed in the Great Lakes forum that all the SE MI events seem to be C5s only (e.g. Joe Kools, Stony Creek, etc.). I usually go to T-Birds (Troy) on Wednesday evenings for the weekly "shows" and the Village of Rochester Hills on Monday nights. Maybe I'll run into you at one of these events.

Well is that a bad thing Brian? It should make your shark the center of attention. You kinda have the same status as a C2 now. :cool:

here is a post I started in the OT section, about the earlier Vettes attracting the ladies more than the newer ones:

Motor City. What is T-Birds in troy? I work out that way and live near Fraser. Maybe I can join you? I missed last Saturday becuase of late emergency project at work for our customer.

Let me know bud!

I've missed a few events so far this year with the car in surgery for the trans swap. I'll be out there before long!

Make sure you keep this year's Hell cruise in mind for October. I think we had ~35 cars last year and hopefully we'll have more this year!

Mine is awaiting a heart (eng) and lung (trans) transplant, going to a 5 speed hopefully I'll get started once I get my Formula running. :rolleyes:

C'Mon Tim, just because I drove my 99 to the last 2 CF-Dayton meets and now Yvonnes is the only C3 that show up. Alright, I'm busting out the 81 for the next one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dean; I was so impressed with your new (second) Corvette that I almost forgot about your C3. :banghead:

:cheers:

There were only a few C3s on the Skyline Drive cruise as well. We sure looked good though. :thumbs:

Lets see if we can make our C3's know at T-Birds in Troy Wednesday

They say there were 98 cars on the Skyline Drive cruise,of which I was one of 6 or 7 C-3's.Carlisle wasn't much different.I realize our cars are 20 plus years old and some may not be as nice as we would like,but I still look for them every showing I can,and will be there with mine if possible. :cool:

Big Fish

Redwing (Brian) are you going to CI5? If so, there will be at least 2 of us there! :D

Assuming I get my car on the road yet this week and assuming I don't get an offer to drive something else down, I'll be driving my '69 down for the third time. :steering:

Can't get the time off for this one but I will be driving down to NCM for the 10th anniversary, Labor Day weekend.

I think there is another consideration other than time as to whether or not the C3s show. That is if the event is several hundred miles of driving and requires more than one day to attend, you start having issues with leaving the car unattended while eating, sleeping, meeting, etc. and a lot of these cars are covered by collector car insurance which requires the car to be attended or locked up.

T-Birds is in Troy at the corner of Livernois and Long Lake. They have a band and little give aways every Wednesday when they "officially" open for their car drive-ins (I think next week). See ya' there tonight
