This is just a FYI to everyone that the 4 seater fiero is finally home in New England. We started the journey Saturday morning at 10:00am and have just rolled in. 2450 miles on the odometer! This was a none stop drive from New Hampshire to Milwalkee Wisconson, load up and drive back. I want to thank all involed EXPECIALLY Boomtastic and MsBeth for making the journey with us. We couldn't have done it without you two! I will post more about this including pics of the trip later today. The keys are getting hard to deferentiate from lack of sleep. So stay tuned! Oh, and the pictures that were posted really don't do the car any justice. Its SWEET! Thanks John!

Robert, it was great to finally meet all 4 of you in person and realize you are just as fanatical as us in Wisconsin! I must admit I was sad when I saw you pull away. I have had a lot of time with that car, heck you already new that just by all the stuff I gave you about the car. My dad looked at me and said "Do you think Robert will finish it" I turned to him (as you were pulling away) and said Oh yeah he had that same look in his eyes as I did when I got it home from the frame shop. He said "what look is that" I said "that look that I have big plans for this car" Well I got to get back to work, I'm glad all of you made it home safe and sound. You know, now that it's home you will probably have to give tours of it (if you haven't allready) Enjoy and I'm lookingh forward to seeing some of those picks posted. Later Fiero John

Same here. It was a pleasure! If you’re ever in New England feel free to give me a jingle and you can come by and visit her. The trip back was LONG! It was cool to see all the people on the highway do a double take when they saw the car. We had people coming up to us at gas stations going "Never seen a stretch Fiero before!" We hit New York State and ran into the storm from hell. It poured thru the whole state. I was glad to get home. 2450 miles in 43 hours! That’s the most insane trip for me yet! Anyway thanks for everything and I'll keep you posted as to the progress of the project. You never know, you might see it at the Dell's someday .

We are so excited in anticipation of seeing this Fiero! I agree, pics please. But more importantly, when can we come by for a cookout and check it out????

Also, since Sept 3rd is Marian and I's anniversary, we were thinking on seeing how many Fiero nuts would like to join us after the Spindles show for dinner??

One of the many stops along the way.

Cool motorized parachute!

Bye bye daylight.

Turning her around. Kinda gives a good perspective on the lenght of the car.

Loading her up. Looks like a regular GT from the front.

Hi Josh,

We'll probably have a cookout some time after Spindles. I got some pics for you as well on the way. Here you go.

And yup, we are planning on going to Spindles. I hope a few others are too.

What a great time we had I finally rolled into my driveway about 8:45 this morning. It is now about 11pm and I am looking forward to some sleep in a real bed (I had to work all day today - ugh!). I haven't had any real sleep since friday night- And Renee you aren't kidding ...we are getting too old for this - so when are we doing it again??? lol. Thanks again guys it was a great time! And so nice to meet John and his dad! Very nice folks! Maybe some day we'll see you both at the Dells? You just never know.

Pics look great! Thanks again Rob and Renee- you guys are the best! (hey Renee - did you find the knife? )

Next roadtrip will be when I can talk Fiero John into giving up that White 88GT with t-tops (cold day in hell comes to mind!) or when Chester gets another wild hair up his a$$. Guess I had better stay out of the hospital, huh?

Look at my eyes and tell me I wasn't dragging a$$ at that point! When I brought the truck back, I noted over 2600 miles on it since I picked it up - *48* hours earlier. I can't wait for this weekend so I can sleep at the car show.

That would be a great idea!!! Try resting up from the trip before you doing anything that would require you to go back - ok

"Speak your mind, Drink your beer"

If you look closer at the speed limit sign in that picture, it actually says "Alcohol Limit .08" (I was so tired I thought it said "Speed Limit 80" only backwards!
It was an awesome time with good friends and now have some more friends halfway across the country! Thanks again John for the awesome car and thank to Eric and Beth for the great "entertainment" and company!
