There is a gathering of car buffs on the NE side of town at Biff Busbys Burgers. I will try to get some of the BBB regulars to chime in and see if they would be willing to stake out some "territory" at the location. Just let me know.

Ok, so today was the official start of my quest to ready the Formula for the trip. I spent the morning looking over the car and made a punch list of the things I need to get done before the Round Up.
Get the rear bumper repainted - Quotes tomorrow Get the roof and rear quarter painted - Quotes tomorrow Dew Wipes - Waiting for Stu to get some made up Rebuild Door Hinges - Ordered parts from Rodney
When I replace the Dew Wipes, I need to tighten up the mirrors and I'll clean and grease the window mechs.
A few of us went for a little lunch run yesterday and I noticed a slight clunk in the left front. I'll have to get under it and see what's up with that. Hopefully it's worn out sway bar bushings.
The interior needs a detailing too so I have a lot of work to do.

So far I've got 4 new Eagle GT's, another XM car kit, and a new Sony CD player with inputs for XM. I forgot to listen to your Boss subwoofer on Saturday, but I think I will just order one anyway. Next up is to order brake pads for the front, and pick up a spare ignition module just in case. Then check belts and hoses, load up the spare tools and stuff and she's ready to go.
Let me know who you get to do your paint too....If they could knock my car out in a couple of weeks, I might just spring for new colors for the trip.

Well, I have been quite long enough. DARKWING will be there. Needs a paint job bad! But a good wash and wax should do for now. I am looking forward to seeing everyone here in old San Antonio. Weather should be good, clouds of Blake with scattered Kevin about. Ritas at Taco Cabana Friday night?

Despite my earlier posts to the contrary, I can't make it this year. My wife doesn't get out of school until the 12th and we have a family "to-do" in Beaumont on the 15th. Our house is on the market and we can't depart until the 13th or so. We'll probably overnight in Conroe enroute to BMT. I really wanted to meet everyone--hopefully next year?? My car will definitely be finished then. Hope the SA get together is a huge success.
No Cliff, I ain't skeered of any 'maters hittin' my TrailBlazer.

Here’s the link to Biffs’ we had 5 Fieros there last Friday and had 8 show up for the AAFO monthly meeting on Sunday. I think spring has kicked off the Fiero bug Anyway it would be really awesome to have a large Fiero showing at Biffs’ on Friday night.
Looking forward to hanging out Friday evening, where ever we decide to go. Looking forward to meeting everyone, new and the same ol' bunch (SOB's for short) hehe
Looks like we need to show up at Biff's around 6PM in order to get a spot together. I think it should be a regular thing for the roundup, and even other overnight events! Find the "hangout" in the said town of event and let's get a large showing at some of these good ol boy hangouts!!
Looks like I will be there on Friday!

And was told, by that very helpfull person, that yall were meetin in Decatur! So... i'll see yall there! Although... I hope this isnt like meetin yall at Luby's for spring fling
We, my Son and I just picked up a 87 GT for my Grandsons first car. It looks like we may have three genarations of Parkers' at the ROUND-UP. Regreatable only two Fieros. Look foward to seeing you all.
Hotel has been reserved for two nights... registration is in the mail...
Looking forward to Friday at Biff's... sounds cool!
Some from NTFC will be leaving the Metroplex that Friday morning... and will be meeting revin kevin at the Salt Lick (West of Austin somewhere's)... for lunch. From there we will pick our way down to SA... who knows what route(s) at this point... but probably none of it on major highways.
If you are interested in rolling with us... let us know! Make sure to get with me for the route down to Austin... if you plan on meeting in Austin... talk to Kevin to coordinate.
I think so far the NTFC caravan is me, Tom, and Poe.
