Default JULY 22nd Event at John Bearce

Hey Folks,

got an email from Dave Mello asking us to come down to his dealership. They are a Shelby America Dealer. Rumor has it they got an original cobra! Bob Brown wouldn't lie would he? LOL! I will get details on time and exact address soon. He will need to know how many cobras would make it so he can make room in the shop or in the parking lot. If you're interested please post here. Its in Washington IL near Peoria Heights. We can make it part of a trip to Champaign also.

Its a 3hr drive from Bartlett IL. It is west of Champaign IL.
They will be open from 10-4pm.

Sid

I believe Washington is just East of Peoria (about 150 miles or so); but, don't listen to me - I am geographically challenged.

Don't get me wrong---- I was just excited because I knew where it was. Actually my sister's daughter (that's my niece) is a TV anchor person in Peoria. So, I would probably go.

Guys,

It's not that far!!! Just think of it as a three-hour high-speed drive on two lane twisty country back roads. (This would make a good WCCC poker run.)

Deal me in.

Sure why not? A long ride and a few stops is a good test for my brake repair, I also hear gas is cheaper in the south. Were are we meeting at at what time do we leave.

Question Anyone Seen Dennis?

Where is Dennis from Madison? He bought his Cobra from Dave, I figured he would be the leader of this group.
HEY, DENNIS, WHERE ARE YOU!!!

I would really like to go, I am very interested ( To be spoken like Artie Johnson from laugh in) (vary inderested!) but I must confess that I cannot commit 100% as of yet. Probability factor right now is 80%, + 1 or - 3*

Can we go in our cobras? or will we all car pool in Blas's sedan? If so I can't go 'cause I get car sick real easily.

Okay; What's Deal?
Where's the breakfast (and I'll ask in advance - where the heck is that anyway); what time; what day; what date.
