Sensory Overload! It was awesome, I couldn't believe how many 'Vettes there were. The vendors were awesome too, I met with guys from Bairs, Van Steel and many others, it was nice to see their work in person. There were also a couple of C3's restored with the body still off, it was nice to see from that perspective. I've been into cars for 20 years and to alot of shows, but this was the best bar none. My only regret is that I didn't have more to spend!

COOL COOL COOL ................ I wish I could have been with you

i wish i could go too... always wanted to goto a large vette show...

since this is your first vette matt... you should by now know that vette people are freaks... we dont do anything in moderation...

glad you had a good time

did you meet up with any other the other guys from here?

two guys i was in chat with tonight were there today..

tumarr and mkapp8789 ?

I was there as well, of course I live 5 minutes away (on a normal day) but it took me 45 minutes to drive it Saturday, Vettes were backed up as far as you could see trying to get into the show! There were about 2,000 Vettes in the road tour according to the Sunday paper and spectators were everywhere along the route. It was a great day for all the owners, and the weather really was perfect!

Unfortunatly I tried to do the gold tour but as I waited in line my powersteering line burst and I had to get it fixed.. sorry steve about being a no show at the cookout. I'll be at bg on sunday, ill try to find you but there is sooo many vettes and people there.

I can certainly attest that this is by far the king of all the 'Vette shows. I can remember the first time I went in the early Seventies when it was actually in Bloomington and comparing it to today...Wow!
The "show" prices for parts are unbeatable, too!

I would have liked to have had the opportunity to meet some of you guys there!

I probably saw others there, but I didn't know anybody. I already requested vacation for that weekend next summer, might even drive the 'Vette (4 hr drive). I drove it one hour north to get a paint estimate today with the top down. I had on a tank top, got a hellish sunburn, but boy was it fun!

I didn't make the show on Sunday, just too much stuff to do with cleaning up after the cookout. Turnarr, are you going to Elmhurst next Wednesday (7/7/04)? It's vette night, I'm hoping to be there by about 4:30, I think it will fill up!

This was a great opportunity, no takers from this forum: https://www.c3vr.com/vrforums/message_go.asp?MID=42336

Watch for it again next year (I hope)

Big Fish...

I had actually seen your invitation for the cookout but at that time I thought we were going to be out of town...but in the end we were able to go to Bloomington... Next year for sure! Either way we should meet up sometime... are you ever down south? I live in back of the Tweeter Center....

thanks again
