These are the two hotels we are recommending at this time. Dates are 25th / 27hth. As of right now we are planning a very cool event that will kick off about 8 AM Friday, the 25th. IF it is convienant to come in on Thursday night do try and do so. HEY! It wasn't my idea to make it more than a 4 hour event on Sunday either!

DV..All I can say is, you asked for it!
(BT...buddy, you know me. It aint in my nature to be a stranger! Just the business, Double Venom Cobras and building the new shop in Michigan are taking a little bit of my time lately!)

Nicely said Rick...and I'm sure many others would agree. Many at Capital Area CC have already made reservations for 24-27, but I don't think anyone comes for the sponsors, or commercialism. For a good cause is nice, that and being able to mingle with fellow enthusiasts.

So there it is folks, official approval of two hotels. So who is booking where?

What do we tell the hotels when we book...... group rate that sort of thing?

Mike,
That's a great idea. Count on it, but if possible try to make it a weeknight.
DV

Mike Braatz · #69 (**permalink**) 12-23-2003, 06:08 PM

Ed--
We can make it a week night -- but it will need to be at 6:30 or 7:00 o'clock--- so us Northerners can slide down 71----

Any preferences????

Mike--

rdorman · #70 (**permalink**) 12-25-2003, 06:25 AM

weeknight or weekend makes no difference to me.

Looks like I need to make a hotel reservation.

When you made the hotel reservations, did they give you a group rate?

How does Jan 16th (a Friday) sound? This way if the weather is bad, we won't have to worry about work the next day. If it is, I can put up a few folks at my place. QS& L @ 7:00PM?

You guys don't change dates or plans for me! I will be there if at all possible, but I am still running up North about every weekend, usually leaving early Friday AM. But, if I'm not needed that weekend I will be there!
DV.. winter sucks!

Bill Wells · #73 (**permalink**) 12-28-2003, 03:51 PM

DV, if "up North" as someone said on some other thread is a new business venture of yours in Michigan, where is it and what is it called ? I am always up for a visit to Mich area Cobra or custom shops ! Bill.

Double Venom · #74 (**permalink**) 12-28-2003, 04:16 PM

Bill,
I'd love to have you visit! North is actually northwest.....Pentwater. I know, "where in the hell is Pentwater?"

Yes, we're building a new shop in no mans land, while the main shop will stay here in London. Actually it's my way of retiring

Just a small (40x42) shop that will do just custom

work.

Shells up, main overhead door is in, in floor heat is in and concrete is laid. If the weather co-operates, and if I can get the time, we should be customizing our first car in less than six weeks!

How's your hand fella?

DV, lawdy lawdy, that IS retirement....virtually on the Lake Michigan coast, near Manistee and about 230 mi/ 4hrs from Detroit northern suburbs where I am and about 400 mi and 7 hrs from London,ohio . That area is one of many Michigan GOD's COUNTRY hideaways !!! lawdy lawdy, you are going to HEAVEN ! you better get ready to fish, boat, dune buggy, snow mobile and become laid back ! a great place to call home , as long as you are a 4 seasons type of guy. and like Ohio, the weather is subject to change at any time, but you WILL enjoy that area. Congratulations, I am sorry it is not closer to Motown. as several of us are always looking for shorter gumball rally last minute cruise locations. bill

I justed booked the Fairfield! June 24-27.

What about an official get together date? If some one cares to make the call I will send a note to everyone.

I to have some room at Casa Del Dorman. Reservations are filling quick!

Rick

bittentoo · #77 (**permalink**) 12-29-2003, 07:40 AM

I just booked at the Fairfield for june 24th, 25th & 26th. Mentioned that I was coming in for the cobra event and they lowered the price of the room from $70.00 to $50.00! I put it on a credit card and have a confermation number. I think that I got a good deal!

rdorman · #78 (**permalink**) 12-30-2003, 05:12 AM

They didn't even tell me the price! But if it is more than the rest pay........... be sure that I will mention it!

DV,

Congrats on the new shop! I spent a lot of working years in the Kalamazoo area. Yeppers, where U are going is God"s country! What a beautiful place. You're scaring me though. I get this feeling you'll be moving up there .

Hello there Jerry! Long time no see. Back from all your travels? Going to be at the Fling this year?
