[This message has been edited by mrfred8 (edited 07-20-2014).]

OK. I booked. Now, I'd better see some of you all that I've met online. And I hope there'll be some of you that I've met in person.

Top Gun Anthem



also
Danger Zone

How about Road of the Gypsy from Iron Eagle? Or the theme from Bloodsport? Or El Debarge's Who is Johnny from Short Circuit?

Make sure everyone checks out the schedule. Fierorama is a 3 day event this year. Hope to see lots of people at the Friday Night cruise night and the Saturday Morning Chrome and Coffee. We need to show the car community in the Chicago area how cool Fiero's are.

How much do you need? I could load enough music on an USB stick to last all day without any repeats

Thanks for the offer. I think we are ok, I went thru the top 40 for each year and grabbed a good sampling. Guaranteed there will be something played you wont like .

Fierorama Weekend is only a week away. Remember we have FOUR events besides the main show.

Friday - Cruise Night
Saturday AM - Chrome and Coffee
Saturday Afternoon - Cruise and museum tour
Saturday Night - Pizza Dinner

So try and join us for as many events as you can. See the first post for more details.

I ordered mine - isn't there a way to arrange pickup at Fierorama? I don't need it mailed to me if I can pick it up at Fierorama, which I would think most people would do the same?

EDIT - Time to print up another batch. There's no reason they should be sold out before Fierorama.

Only a few more days to get out your Best 80's clothes. For many of us, we don't have to look any farther then the back of our closets. For you younger folks, here is a tip from Mark, many Halloween shops are open already and have 80's costumes.

Look forward to seeing everyone for Fierorama Weekend, 3 days of fun.

Other than big hair and jean jackets, what do '80s clothes look like?

I won't be sporting hair. My kids got it. At least, I had hair, and then I had kids.

Just signed up for the event. I'll have to dig out some of the old 80's rock cassettes I have taking up space in the basement storage..lol.
I'm hoping to have my car there. I bought it as a project and just got it running. But a lot of the parts used for the 3800 swap were included so I'm not sure who made them or what they were initially from. If anybody could take a look at the car and offer insights or suggestions that would be great. This is my first time working with a modified fiero. Thanks!

Great, look forward to seeing you. There will be plenty of people around that have experience with 3800's and can probably help you identify what you have.

They have mullet wigs.



Aviator glasses, which are apparently back in stores and popular.

Packing up tonight, leaving first thing in the morning. Not sure what time we will get there, roughly 9 hrs without delays (food, gas, border crossing)

Heading through MI from Sarnia, 69 to 94 to 80 to hotel. somewhat )

Don't have any 80's clothes, nothing from back then would fit me now.
Which Fiero Enthusiast does this remind you of?

Great look forward to seeing you this weekend. I have PM'ed you my number, if you have any questions about the weekends events or need anything give me a buzz.

HAPPY FIERORAMA FRIDAY. We are keeping an eye on the weather for the cruise night tonight. If the cruise night does get rained out, we will just head to restaurant near the hotel and have a nice dinner and an impromptu cruise night. Keep an eye on facebook and Pennocks for details. See everyone this evening! Schedule for the weekend is in the first post if you need a reminder.
