Yes.. Make sure you stay in Gulfport /Biloxi area and cruise with the group to Baton Rouge. The drive experience is the best part right along with parking lot time too
If your going to be in the area for power tour on Friday night June 5th, a bunch of us from another forum are getting together at a VFW fish fry to help support our vets

Although I won't be driving a Fiero on this Power Tour, should I bring along my box of spare Fiero parts, like modules, coil, wires, distributor, rotor etc.
Many of you might have seen stuff on TV about House on the Rock and house different and extravagant it is on the inside, and just amazed at how it was built. But i don't know if you realize how close it is to Madison, and it is a must see when you are close. Madison is only 1hr from the house. Therese and I plan on going to see it on Saturday morning before coming to the cruise night. The Doors open at 9:00 am and that is when we plan on being there, and then we plan on coming to the cruise night.
If anyone else would love to join us on Saturday morning we could cruise up there together, and if there is enough of us maybe even get a group rate.
Let me know if you are interested.
If you don't know what house on the rock it, here is a brief description, but you can find more online just by goggling it and there is information everywhere. Its main website is http://www.thehouseontheroc...R_AttractionMain.htm
"The House on the Rock began in 1945 when a man named Alex Jordan had a towering goal: to build a retreat as awe-inspiring as the view from the rock upon which the House would eventually be built. What took shape on and around Deer Shelter Rock is a truly remarkable achievement. The House was only the beginning. In the years that followed, Alex expanded his vision beyond the House and collected and built on a massive scale. In the end he had created the world-renowned attraction known as The House on the Rock."
Looks like Heidts automotive is lunch for sunday.. same place as last year. I am proabably going to skip it, went last year, might swing at home to change bags out, i live close.
dug myself a deeper whole...was trying to change some sensors and stuff out and found a fuel leak, coming from the cold start injector or tube. Going to delete it, drive the car in summer only, and parts aren't available, can reverse if i need to at a later time. But in the mean time the cold injector bolt is completely stripped. Going to try to do the chisel method tomorrow to try to get it out.
Also while in there changing the distributor o ring, where i might have a oil leak, and doing all the fuel injectors. Lets hope i don't screw anything up, first time i have dove into an engine this big, wish me luck
Also lost a set of bolts and screws for the bumper plus a reflector at some point when it was off for repaint. so need to get all that re bought, before i can put it back on the car.
OH and the trailer when i opened it to assemble it was all scratched so have to return it and start all over there again.
If anyone is interested in doing the tour that can't afford it or doesn't have a vehicle. I will have a passanger seat open leaving Chicago early Monday June 8th and at least going to Memphis if not further. I would love the company and to show your what the tour is all about. Alsi will help both of us financially.
We would split gas and hotels, you would be on your own for personal expenses.
I would also be willing to pick u up in St Louis area on the 8th or Memphis area on the 9th if you want to go further than Memphis. I could drop you off on the way home too Chicago sense I would be going by those 2 cities anyway.
Let me know

So who is still in and what stops is everyone doing?
I will be doing Madison thru Memphis along with another Fiero guy who is not on PFF.
We plan to get to Madison on Friday as there are a couple of cool events taking place. Ring Brothers is having an open house and there is a Fish Fry planned at a local VFW to benefit the local VA hospital.
will be at fish fry, madison and champaign with the fiero. after that depending on how much test running i get in before that, i will contiue with it at least to memphis if not further.
If i don't feel comfortable with the car after champaign i am going to jump in the wrangler with the top down as much as i can!
Do you have hotel yet for Memphis? We have 3 or 4 Fieros going at least Madison to Memphis and heard some St Louis folks may do a few stops, so could be some more.

Scott myself and some other Power Tour friends are at the Econolodge downtown. Don't know if they still have rooms or decent rates left. It is walking distance to Beale and also has a shuttle.

I am rooming with a friend so I have an extra room in Memphis I can change the name to and you can charge it to your card or however you want to pay for it when you get there. 2 double beds if not 2 Queens.
I might also have rooms to give up on Birmingham Gulfport and Baton Rouge, will know more by the end of the week.

Larry looks like there is a possibility of me joining you in a daily driver. Had to take car to shop. Not running good at idle and low end has a hesitation. Hope nothing serious won't know more til Wed probably.
Thanks for posting the pics, mrfred! I think I recognize the red Fiero and the white Fiero from the Dells. Too bad it was wet on Sunday. It looks like is was mostly beautiful weather.
If your lady on Saturday has any more spillage, those pics won't be PG.
I'm guessing you didn't drive your widebody?
