Any of those dates will work for me.

The 16th is the only open date for me.

Almost any day is fine by me, could anybody help me figure out my freakin' high idle? :/
I'd really like to meet another Fiero enthusiast who knows what's going on under the decklid better than me.

There's a few of us up in Cedar Rapids if you're ever in the area. Your more than welcome to come on over. I won't be putting my toys away for another month or so.

Yeah, I could really use some help figuring this car out.

It's really different.

Wish I'd known any of you guys were in Cedar Rapids when my Fiero refused to start up again after dinner when I was up there about 2 weeks ago!

Anyways, do any of you guys have a spare IAC?
I need one to resolve my 3k rpm idle problem...

I'm game if I have enough money for gas & get my rack bushing replaced before then. Name a time and place

------------------

Yep. Name a time + place and things to do. Lord knows there's not a thing in Iowa City. *rolls eyes*

-Mulholland GT

The 16th would probably work best for me, Kenton. I've committed to a car show the weekend of the 8th and 9th. It would have to be an afternoon thing for me on the 16th also.
Todd

let me know I will try to make it.

------------------

well, i know this isnt really the place, but seeings how your all from iowa (as am i) if ne one has some free time and would like to stop by my house (hiawatha, right by the DQ on center pt rd.) and try take a look at my 87 2.5L that would be AWESOME!!
i work at a pontiac dealer, and they cant really even tell me anything about the car. so if ne one would be willing to help PM me.

SLOWnSTEADY, welcome to the forum. Send me a pm with what it is doing. I am from the Des Moines metro and do not get to your area that much but I am willing to help any way I can.

Partsman, I would love to see your t-top car. Is it a factory roof?

Edited to clear up my own confusion.

This post has been edited. Option 4 is now officially the Iowa Cruise.

We will meet in Pella on October 16th, at the town square between 2:30 and 3:00. The cruise will begin around 3:15. The route will run from the Pella town square to Maytag park in Newton using County roads T14, F62, and S74. Maytag park is on the southwest side of the city. - rain or shine.

There are a few corners along the route. Pella is an interesting, small town and Newton is on I-80. It is also fairly centrally located between Omaha and Cedar Rapids. I believe that this route will also be the most cost effective for the most people.

I've been to Pella and it is a wonderful community. I would think that the town square would be a nice backdrop and good picture oppurtunity for our little cars. Also if I remember correctly the roads into and around Pella are quite twisty and fun to drive.

So obviously my vote would be for #4

Dan

This sounds cool, I like options 2 and 4, Pella sounds the best! JD

------------------

#1 I have driven on that route many times and it is not really very interesting so let's skip that.
#2 wouldn't be bad.
#3 already been done.
#4 sounds like a nice drive. It gets my vote.

jdee74, I would love to see owners from other states attend and hope to see you there.

I will contact Kevin with the GTs and a few other owners again who are not members here at the forum.

Option 4 in Newton sounds fine to me.

Jordan Creek mall is a bit far from me.

-Mulholland GT

Sounds good! I live in the Quad-Cities so I am next door to Davenport, IA. I have read several threads on the forum about various cruises and would love to participate in one. Update us soon with specifics. JD

Is this on the 16th? My wife into bringing one of my other cars

Dan

We should get a count of the total number of cars that will be there. Last time we had six cars in running condition plus SaLvAgEd's car that we all drove to see. We should be able to top 6.5 cars this time.

[This message has been edited by RACE (edited 09-24-2005).]

I'm up for the drive. Now I have to decide which car to bring. What time you thinking we should meet up in Pella?

Todd, my vote is for the convertible. That is the ultimate cruiser.

I will drive one Maybe a Black 87 ??

If you guys meet at Jordan Creek or in the Des Moines area let me know. Otherwise I wont make it.

Let me know.

Hey Jodi, long time no hear. You would be more than welcome to drive that car on the cruise if you want, for old times sake.

FieroDiva, Lambo's black car used to be yours? You gave up a good one. I hope to see you there.

Kevin, (not KEV from MSP), sent me an email and he plans to attend. There are still a couple of non-forum members that I plan to invite. The high quality and diversity of cars that will be attending should make this our best meet yet.

Like last time I plan to make a video. I hope to have it edited and ready to post within a couple of hours of getting home from the cruise. Don't worry if your car is not perfect. It does not have to be to look good in the photos or video. What will look good is a long line of Fieros.

Hm, that sounds good. What's your method of editing? Multiple cameras yields the best angles... best I've found for car-videos (I used to synch my Z videos up to music and post them online) are shots taken from a fairly low angle, and stationary camera shots work really well. Exterior angles work extremely well. Hope to see you there (if my GT doesn't break down on the way, lol)

Yeah I know it has been a long time. I have been busy being a stay at home mom and we are buying our first house. Busy Busy Busy! I dont know if I will make it or not but I will try my hardest. (Just to drive my old car again) oh and I suppose to see all of you too

Jodi

Mulholland,

I have a Sony Handycam. It works pretty good. Sometimes I wish it was heavier so that it would be more stable.

I am new to editing but am improving with every attempt. It is amazing how my computer suddenly seems slow when it indexes the raw video.

I will try to make it. Saturday October 14 we get back from a Bahamas cruise and might be broke.

------------------

I know of 26 Iowa owners who are also members of the forum. Most have not replied. So far we have 8 owners who plan to attend with 4 more interested. Lurkers are welcome. I would like to see at least 20 cars on the 16th.

There are only two weeks until the Pella to Newton Cruise.

Salvaged, is your car going to be ready this time?

Have a good week.

I think i will be there, so count me in.

As of right now I am planning on coming, although I'm still not sure which Fiero I'll be bringing. I have also contacted a fellow PFF'r and I' beleive he might be coming as well.

Dan

I'd love to be there, but it might be just a bit far for me and my new swap to venture on my own. Just about 300 miles.

Eric, think of it as a brake-in drive. (I'll bring tools just in case).

Bump, it is only about a week away.
