Default Caravan 09

Our Canuck portfolio is slow these days - guess we're all enjoying our Zees (or Zads).

I've signed up for the 09 Caravan to the Museum (part of the 15th anniversary of NCM and the official opening of the hugh expansion to it). We depart Michigan next Wednesday with around 100 Vettes in the Michigan contingent. We make a stop at Indy for a parade lap around IMS in our own cars - crossing the yard of bricks should make for a wall-mounted picture. I'll post some picures when I get back. Anyone else you know going from Canada?

Several Cars are registered from across the pond. I will be leading the caravan with my ZR-1.

Wife and daughter will be piloting the Z06. See you next Wednesday, and nice to know another ZR-1 will be in the group.

We should have some fun!

Well I don't have pics, but my ZR-1 only made it to Fort Wayne,Indiana when the altenator gave out. Two other Zroners completed the trip, Bob's '91 and George's '93 Anniversary Edition.

Great trip and very nice people!

Sorry to hear about your alternator, Joe. That is a bummer.

Just returned from picking the car up from Summit Chevrolet in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

What do you expect with a 102,300 mile car? It's running fine now. I only wish it had broke down in BG, I would have left it with Jim VanDorn and let him go through the car completely.

Here's to a few more weeks of Corvette driving in MICHIGAN!

I'll be ready for the Gathering next year.

Glad to hear that the repair went well, Joe.

For everyone, I will be uploading some pictures within a day or so. This was one awesome trip. Many thanks to Joe and others that worked so hard to make it memorable for the rest of us.

Took the car to my club's board meeting this evening. I now have 250 miles on it since the repair, with no issues.

Thanks Bob for the compliments.
