Chris and Sid, I will send you and e-mail so you do not feel unloved.
I do not remember seeing anything for dues, unless it was attached to the Holiday invite that I did not pay to much attention to because pick one that applies a) I was not sure of my availability during that time period. b) All of the hubub about the lack of planning for the Holiday party. c) The apparent or perceived lack of planning for the Holiday party. d) The location that was closer to the Milwaukee Cobra Club e) all of the above.
For the sake of whoever took on the task of maintaing the new website, I it is 100% self maintaining. To be honest, this forum seems to be the place that this group likes to communicate most.
I think that one of the most successful events for WCCC revolved around semi last minute planning of hey, I am going to be at XYZ, anyone want to join me for breakfast and enjoy that fine smell of the mix of exhaust and fresh air. Many of our firsts were the best because they were somewhat impromptu. Don't get me wrong, planning is great, and definately required in most instances. There is a certain somebody in this group that overplanned and overprepared for a trip from Chicago to London Ohio. A trip that many had made individually or in smaller groups at least once in the previous years. In the end, this pursons planning managed to keep a large group of people together along a long route. There were breakdowns, some split offs, some misqueued fuel stops, but we were all able to keep together with the planning. Without the anal retentive planning of a certain fine gentleman, would we have all made it to our destination in back eventually. Yes. Would it have been more miserable or costly for some? Certainly. One of the keys was that there was a general plan, and plans on how to deviate from it as well.
In any event, I look forward to seeing some old and new friends on the road in the summer (and maybe in a vehicle with four wheels indoors sooner). If anyone happens to be cruising through the South Burbs drop a line on here. I would be happy to put a Yellow target in front of you to follow (once I fix my clutch and work through the pile of hard wood floor that has the Cobra boxed in). Remember, it's about the car, the drive and the friends and family, and all will work out in the end!
