Best of Show

 

He's forgetting Best Cobalt.

=D

Just kidding. Hahahahaha...

 

Bump for the event.

 

Ok sweet just found out about this, Ill be there!

So pre registering is alot easyier or what? My friend has a 86 Sport Coupe too. Is it ok if its all primer? lol beaters allowed? ahha

 

Pre-registering is a lot easier for meissen do get everything set up, it's also nice to get a count of how many cars could be there.

 

I would def be interested in coming to this as i live inb Edwardsburg Michigan...I just picked up my 90 Iroc with a t-56 6speed so i am dying to stretch its legs some....

 

Most defiantly! Us thirdgens are out numbered by all the 4th gens that are going to the M&G so the more the better!

 

Hello,

With only 45 days, 14 hours, and 45 minutes before the big event, we have made a huge change to the 2009 Meet & Greet venue.

Instead of holding our event at Kensington Metro Park, we will be holding the event at Bakers of Milford in Milford, Michigan.

This event is essentially *next door* to Kensington park, so the location change should be a very minimal inconvenience.

The new address for this year's Meet & Greet is 2025 S. Milford Rd, Milford, Michigan. Please mapquest accordingly.

For those that planned to take I-96 to Kensington, you will be able to take your route as planned but exit the freeway at exit 155 - Milford Rd - north. Once you exit the freeway and head north on Milford Rd, you will go 2.5 miles and Bakers of Milford will be on your right. I will do my best to deploy signs where possible.

Our official flier has been updated accordingly and can be viewed here: http://www.mifbody.com/MeetGreet2009.png

The official Information thread has been updated accordingly:

Should you have any questions or concerns at all, please feel free to contact me at meissen@mifbody.com or via telephone at 586-839-9565.

Thanks,

ok kool, I go to bakers all the time for shows. This makes it easier for me. Why did you change it?

 

Kensington had a lot of politics involved surrounding the catering. They have an exclusive contract with Cranks and we had a really bad experience with them last year. They promised us after last year's event that we could use a different vendor and now after I had already gotten permission to find another vendor and had one lined up now a few days ago they tell me I have to go through cranks. Just didn't like the politics involved.

 

What happened last year?

Just Registered also!

May sound dumb but is there parts for sale too?

 

If anyone brings parts for sale, sure, but we don't have a dedicated parts swap area, sorry.

Last year Cranks showed up 2 hours late to the show, didn't have the fryers working, didn't have everything they told us would be on the menu, and were really slow getting the food out. The people behind the counters said they were totally unaware that we were going to be there even though I had called three separate times to ensure Cranks would be prepared for us being there. Real lack of communication on their part.

 

Oh that stinks about last year.

But yea I was just wondering cause I got alot of parts.

 

Yeah I don't have any problem if you lay them around your car or something to sell them.

 

Naw Im just going to enjoy the show.

Im prity exceited.

 

If i am still in the country i will definately be there i am 2-3 hours away but i am registered and looking forward to it.

 

Bump for an awesome event!!!

 

looks like i will be able to make it after all and i believe a guy i work with is driving his fourth gen down too!

 

Sweet!!! Are you aware that we have a big caravan meeting up at the Ionia exit and cruising over together from there?? Check out the link below.........

For those of you who might be coming from out of state or just are not familiar with Bakers of Milford, below is a link to photos from today - May 3rd. Keep in mind - what you see in the pictures happens EVERY SUNDAY. 100% free. This car scene/heritage is EXACTLY what we wanted for our Meet & Greet.

I was there But i think i showed up after you all left. Like All the f bodys were leaving when i was showing up lol. And I parked in the back, my car was really dirty. Yeah Iv been going to there shows since like 2001, I actuly just saw the trophy my dad got in 01 for his 69 ss camaro. When Im there tho Im usualy with the mopars, My dad has a duster and challenger.

 

What color was your car? We saw a few 3rd gens in the back by the medical offices.

 

iroc, white/gold rims.

 

Did you have a friend with you? I saw a white IROC driving towards Bakers when my dad and I were driving through downtown Milford. Had a passenger with him. We were in a '95 purple Firebird Formula.

 

yeah you hade the z06 rims? Yeah that was me, I was with my dad also.

 

Haha yeah - my dad traded our worn out 2000 Jimmy (which was a POS) + $400 for the Formula. Deal of the century lol. And yeah, I remember your car - but admittedly was too busy watching the eye candy crossing the street on the other side...

 

lol I have a 1999 jimmy. **** Id trade for that formula.

 

I just found out that i am going to be able to get my whole front clip painted before going to this show! I am pumped about it and in reply to 90conv, what time is this group going to meet at the Ionia exit?

 

We'll start rolling into the Pilot Travel Center around 8:30am and leave sharply at 9:00am. The address for this location is.............

Pilot Travel Center
7258 S. State Rd
Ionia, Mi 48846

Here is a link to RSVP and get more details...........

Major thanks to Scott for sending this e-mail message out to his Camaro and Firebird mailing list.

AccuWeather is predicting 80 degrees and sunshine! If you haven't registered yet, please do so! http://www.mifbody.com/meetgreet/registration

 

well my car is going back together today and tomorrow it looks great! I can't wait for the show!

 

i think im going to be there altho i can't register my 3rd gen, i have to replace some fuel lines and she's way rusty but im still goin'!

 

Im really excited for all the 3rd gen Camaros!! I really better get going and paint my rear quarter!

 

Shaping up to be the premier F-body event in Michigan!!!!!

 

Yeah I can't wait it is gonna be great! There is an older couple that are customers at the dealership I work at and they just bought a brand new camaro and have a 25th anniversary camaro. I talked to them about the show and they are going to follow me there now!

 

Wow - it's overwhelming the number of registrations we received this year! Happy to report that based off of everyone's reactions to Bakers (as if I doubt anyone ISN'T going to like the new location) we might see about doing a multi-day or a true all-day event... something to make it even more enticing for people to drive across the state or from other states to our humble little show.
