My friend Paul will be driving the '67, I will be driving the slammed, shaved, and primered Karmann Ghia, and my girlfriend will probably drive the SBC-powered Volvo. We are going to catch up in MI and cruise back.

Bumpity bump

Just set my reservations for somerset and bristol hotels.

Using Holiday inn express in somerset, bristol using microtel:bigthumb

[mustangjon]

thanks holly :)

[Sharad]

I'm planning to make the cruise from Dayton to Somerset. Basically just driving from my dad's house to my house since both meeting places are close to where we live. He'll either be in his '93 GT or his '99 Cobra and I'll either be in my '89 LX or '00 GT.

We (stangbangerz) should try to keep the mustangs together, dontcha think?

[mustangjon]

I'm willing to try to be an unofficial organizer at least for the last 2 legs, I already booked my hotel rooms, Going to meet up with some lincoln guys around the cincy area and go from there. But more the merrier! Also there was talks to run over to memphis sat after the event ends and have a night on bealle street. Then head home sunday. Im staying at the holiday inn , in somerset and microtel in bristol. Was closest to where most the tour people are staying. And near events.

Of course i will be driving the mark, the 71 is still in pieces lol

[Buckeye]

I plan on going to dayton and then finish the tour might add mich if thing permit.
