I went to Pontiac in 2003 and Topeka this year. I want to plan for next year and I don't mind driving a few days to get there. The drive, in the car I love, is part of the fun. So all you folks out there in parts unknown land please persuade me to come to your event .

It hasn't been decided yet but I know St. Louis is under consideration....

Will there be another Daytona show? That's if the hurricanes ease-up and if there is anything left?

I was hoping for Florida or Texas as I have not been to Texas and Florida would be a nice drive and new roads to go on.

I fought for bringing it to Texas, but that notion was not well received. Oh well, I tried.

Btw, the annual POCI convention for 2005 will be July 12-16 in Greenville, SC... www.poci.org

Bump for more input

San Juan Bautista is going to be THE big one. People will come from Canada, Mexico, and the East Coast!

It could happen...

LETS BRING IT TO ARIZONA!!!!!

.......... what? why are you all looking at me like that?

The Michigan Fiero Club is returning to Frankenmouth (sp?) next year. The Capital City Fiero Chapter is heading it up. I tried to find the web site for it but I couldn't find it. It is scheduled for July 29-31, 2005.

Hey Songman...........just tell em we will have the big to do in Delano, CA. enough said....he he he he. Be there or you'll be left out.

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

laguna seca????id be there in a heart beat

prob super super expensive though

The Daytona Show is a "MUST DO" event on the 3rd weekend of March every year, especially if you live on the East coast. I'm sure there will be enough of Daytona left for the Show to go on.
It's early enough in the year to get away for a weekend for a warmer climate after the winter months, even if you live in Georgia

Daytona Show - March is too soon for me but I'd love to be thier !!!! Maybe ???

Laguna Seca - way cool but your right - $$$$$

Stimpy - San Juan Bautista was fun but too short of a drive - great food though !!

ARIZONA, interesting for sure. Lets talk about this one more. Need race track, drag strip and a good hotel and parking lot.

Keep them coming. Looked at CFOGI web page but could find nothing for 2005 scheduled

I did find a complete 3800SC in a yard in Delano though! haha. My gardener is from there and his family owns the yard so he lets me in on all the good stuff! Even a wide spot in the road town has good stuff every now and then. haha

So you will be at the Coast Run in a couple of months? Right?

Colorado would be beautiful but our "club" isn't that organized.

...Perfection....

Last year, Chris West and I were talking about doing something in Colorado and wondering how many people would actually make the drive. I used to live in Colorado Springs and I am a big Breckenridge skier so I love Colorado!

Yeah, Chris and I discussed that as well. I don't think you'd get many people from the west coast, and the show in Topeka was only 100 cars (I'm sure they were expecting more). Colorado is beautiful, but I don't think you'd draw many cars.

Ahh, we'll fix that. Last year we lingered around the hotel for way too long, and wound up leaving too late in the afternoon. This year I am planning on an earlier departure, lunch at a location TBD at the southern end of the route, and a northern loop will be added. Plus, did y'all do the Carmel Valley Road leg of the trip?

everyone come to greenville... make fieros known here!!! i think a convoy of 200-300 would get the point across

Carl,

I know many areas were discussed, and we are still researching sites. But as for now, I think the general idea is to keep it centrally located in an attempt to not make it impossible for someone from either coast to make the show. It's hard to try and make a show for everyone and still make it accessible to anyone that wants to come. As Jen said, I believe St. Louis is being looked at closely right now and more will be posted as plans are finalized. Look for the month of July though if that helps.

Hope you all can make it next year and I'll let you know when things are decided!!

quote Originally posted by kooljess: Oh yeah.......looking forward to the coast run in November. Had breakfast with Chris West this morning at Paradise Cove and he mentioned that last years Coast run someone had a birthday. Hey, maybe we can celebrate that birthday again this year in San Simeon.

Yeah, we read about the breakfast thing but already had plans. Maybe another time...

Seems like I did hear about someone having a birthday on the actual day of the Coast Run last year!

St. Louis would be awesome! That's only like 4 hours away for me, and I could make that! Or maybe Jefferson City (he he he, that's only 2 hours).

Well , there is always the "Run For The Hills 10" Next year !!!! Songman can vouch for that !! You've got plenty of time to plan for it , since it was just this past weekend. Go ahead and mark your calendar, especially since you want to drive a little ways to get here. Would be one of the "Most Fun" weekends you'll find.

Absolutely Ronnie! The RFTHs is still one of the best events I have ever been to. With a little different planning we would have made it this year... As I was looking at the pictures I could clearly see in my mind two years ago in the rain at the very same locations.. And it was still a blast! Maybe by next year we'll have the 355 ready for a cross country trip... Of course, I'll be pushing for Rie to take a day or two off in April to come down to Ed's Swap Meet too. I hear it may be the last one! haha

So, I guess my list of the Big 3 is pretty clear. In no particular order.

1 California Coast Run
2. Run For The Hills
3. Ed Parks' Swap Meet

To me the Big event doesn't have anything to do with the number of cars. It is all about how much fun you have and how many friends you get to see, meet, and hang out with.

What? Westfest didn't make the list? *sniff sniff*

You still haven't been to Dells Run in Wisconsin then? It's definitely one of the biggest if you're looking at in terms of friends & fun

Don't forget Carlisle (May 21). PA Teh Day is always a good time too

quote Originally posted by fierobear: What? Westfest didn't make the list? *sniff sniff*

Not to worry! It's #4! The swap meet and the Run For The Hills are things that were a regular every year occurence for me for a long time... And the Coast Run is mine so I have to like it...

Maybe I should have done a Top 5 list! haha

Yeah, dammit, equal time for Westfest!

I can't believe that the whole country didn't want to come to Texas...what's up with that?

I can only make it to one big national show per year and it would be great if that show was in Texas. I'd like to make it back to Daytona next year, but I don't know if I can attend Daytona and a National show at the same time.

After I get the Chop top completed maybe I'll take a poll to see which show I should go to

That run is great.
Carmel valley leg is murder on the tires though.Hoping for some road repair.I guess I could drive alittle easier.

Details when they get finalized

I'm def. in on this show; I made the 20th and Wheatstock... def. up for another.

Hopefully, they can finalize soon... I have to put in for vacation around Jan. 15th, so I need to know by then... It's still possible to change it, but at my age, several people have way more seniority than I do at work, and they get first shot. I can't bump them off a weekend, unless I've picked it during the vacation pick in January.

KEEP US POSTED!!!
