Re: Trans Am Nats 2015

okfoz, I didn't realize that was your Formula. I spent a lot of time looking at it, wish I'd said hello now. Sweet ride. Wasn't it in the Winner's circle from last year?

A guy I know owns the red 91 GTA that was 2 cars down from you. Probably saw you and didn't know it!

kymmee,
I looked for your TTA, did you take it? I totally forgot about messaging you prior so we could meet up. Next year?!

Saturday was beautiful, great day for a car show. Tipp City was fun also, we got to the hotel just as it started raining.

It was a lot of fun as always!

I've gotten so used to seeing your black rims that now I'm unsure which looks better. I prefer gold but as they say...black is beautiful!

Re: Trans Am Nats 2015

One year, we really need to get all the TGO members together with the cars and get a group photo.

I usually post a "TA NATS-Who's going?" thread but there hasn't been much interest the last several years, so I quit doing that.

I'll try to remember next year.

Re: Trans Am Nats 2015

That's a great idea 86TA355SR and would love to partake in that. BUT, it seem that 50% or more of the members on here all live in Ohio or Illinois!!! Lotsa travel for lotsa members to make it to a event so great.

We'll work on making it next year. I'll rent a semi and bring em all!

LOL you do that Bob that would be a sight!

I agree.. actually I think if we just print off a blowup of the website logos we belong to and put in the windshields (except during judging) that would help much!

No, I did not take a car this year. Had the 99 pretty much ready to go, but personal issues came up and I just felt fortunate that I even made it there. Original plan was to get there Friday morning and stay till Sunday night. But made it Saturday and left early Sunday. So yeah, there is always next year!

I know, I wouldn't really need a window sign IF the plate was seen.

Re: Trans Am Nats 2015

For those interested, I posted some pictures HERE, in another subforum.

It was a great time. I'm always bummed out the week following the show.

kymmee, I looked at your photo link. I missed the yellow hard top 93 or 94 Trans Am. Sweet. Love that color.

Several years ago I barely missed buying a 97 WS6, red HT, red leather, 6spd-a very rare combination. I wanted it because I loved the car, I didn't know until much later how few were made like that. It had 35K miles. I simply got there to late-somebody beat me to it. I sure wish it was in my garage-may never find another in that combo/condition. However, I did find my 89 GTA due to all of that, so things worked out!

Also, I talked with the guy who owned the green 91 GTA. Nice guy/car. Brought back memories-a buddy had one in that combo back in 95-he traded it for a new at the time 95 Formula-and regretted it.

I had a 92 Vette in polo green with tan interior-fun car and really turned heads. Still have a sweet spot for that combo all these years later!
