xpndbl's 9th annual southside caravan to the fest....

Got the wisconsin and northside caravan heading south, we'll meet up and take a few pics of all of us in a row near a park then head to the thirdgenfest. As always I'll be available for autographs before we leave.


Let's hope for no rain this year or the night before...I'm tired of washing the car every year on the trailer the morning of the show.


so who's coming with me?

I will be there.

I am coming from the Minneapolis, MN. I will be meeting up with the Wisconsin and Northside groups along the way.

I like the picture, especially with being the only Firebird in it.

Re: xpndbl's 9th annual southside caravan to the fest....

Did anyone get their registration packets yet? I paid for mine on the 3rd of April, and still nothing....

Not sure about the caravan thing this year, but I might merge in with the WI group and keep going at the oasis and just drive straight there.

I have not received mine, and I ordered mine right around when you purchased yours.

Getting shunned by your own peeps...tsk-tsk.

... IT'S ALIVE!! First time it's ran in about 5 months! Sounds like crap with no Y-pipe! Like an old jalopy (well, maybe it is that)....now to get it off the jacks and have it towed to the exhaust shop! $$

How many years do you need to go to be considered a regular?

What way do you travel south? Maybe I can join the convoy the last leg of the trip. It is nothing for me to take 80 across.

We meet up 10 minutes north of 80 and then take side roads to the show. Nice drive once we get out of the suburbs and out in farm country
