Mark,

Have you been posting at GarageJunkies or is that a different astro? I seem to remember seeing a post about a garage addition and didnt know if that was you.

Sorry to 'jack the thread.

Can I drive my 4 door Civic? It has disk brakes

Yup, that's me... I use the same name on any forum I post on...
Mark

[Roger Poirier]

If I'm still alive. I start at 9:00am - 6:00pm M-S working on the goat, and I'm free labor. As the date becomes closer and I'm still walking (bad back) I will be glad to meet up with you guys.

[steemin]

I'd deffinatly be interested, is there a set date yet? I'll need to know that before I commit. Might be able to talk "Steemin" aka Scott Stites to come along also.


Thanks
Buddy P

Now I have an AKA...?
I would love to go but I need to know the date that we would be going to the show..
What kind of cars does this show focus on?
Scott AKA "STEEMIN"

HIGH end cars.....this show is where the riddler is decided! You are gauranteed to see at least 8 of the finest built cars around(usually)! depends on who has what out this year????

[JoshStratton]

Last year's winner spent 1.5 million to win that show. He spent 50K on the detailing alone before the show.

Here are pics of last year's: Detroit Autorama 2005

This is where stupid money can be spent. The show is in need of more pro touring cars. It's getting there slow but sure.

P.S. I just hope I'm not one of them (stupid money). You will be able to decide for yourself. I will have the Judge shown as a feature display
20 x 20 with lights and all the BS. The car will be across from the GM display. I'm one of three cars www.motorcitysteel.net will have out at the show.

Everyone keeps asking about an official date....fella's, if you go up to the original thread, all the information is right there. These dates are "official".

Also...a bit of good news, we will now have door prizes for the dinner. Murray Pfaff from Pfaff Design is going to provide some goodies for all attendies. I might try to get some other companies involved to see if they want to provide anything if we get enough to participate.

Roger....I didn't know your car is going to be there. Or are you alluding to something else?

[BuddyP]

Ah, Saturday... March 4th then. That may be possible, I'll confirm in a couple weeks.

[Roger Poirier]

Adam, Roger, JMarsa, Shessel...no excuses.


Trapin, that wasn't me listed as Roger? Oh well. My mistake.

Sorry,

R.P.

[trapin]

No..that IS you listed as Roger. Perhaps you didn't understand my inquiry.

I didn't want you to come because you had a car there....I wanted you to come anyway regardless. I just didn't know your car was going to be there...I wasn't sure how close your were to finishing. Sounds like you're pretty much finished.

Thats awesome...can't wait to see it. And YES...try to make that dinner if you can.

[Bill Howell]

I have a prior comment on March 2 until lunch. I plan to hop on a plane and come up asap after lunch that day. Count me in Tony. BTW, any suggestions on hotel rooms close to the action?
EDIT, Tony your HERE link is not working, I used Larry's link.

[Roger Poirier]

Any suggestions on hotel rooms close to the action?

Bill and any others coming from out of town. The Marriott Ren Cen (GM headquarters) is a block away from Cobo Hall (Autorama). The Marriott has a tram and will take you to and from Cobo Hall. You don't even need to go outside.

Mention that you are a member of MHRA or Autorama. I received a double bed for $109 a night. Top end hotel and a very respectable price.

Call: 1.800.568.8000 for reservations.

R.P.

[trapin]

Yeah...I'll 2nd the Marriot reccomendation, Bill. It is so damn convienient...you'll be glad you did it. People Mover will take you to Cobo, to Fishbones, and back to the Ren Cen. Park the car once and forget about it. Go in style my friend...go in style.

I'll check that link....it was working before. Hmmm.......

[shessel]

Adam, Roger, JMarsa, Shessel...no excuses.

Sorry,

R.P.

Yea, don't worry. Kristie and I will be there. Tony, count me in for 2 people. Someone mentioned after party. Who'd be interested and where? Kristie and I could host, but that would mean everyone getting out to Chesterfield Twp. (about 30-40 min from downtown).

Steve (Shessel)

[trapin]

Steve...great...make sure you sign up in the Calander.

Fella's...I've gone ahead and made the reservation. We're set for 5pm at Fishbones on the 4th of March. I have the reservation at about 18 people but if we need more seats they'll accomodate us. We will be in the atrium over by the giant waterfall. It's a kick ass restaurant...we should have a good time that night. I will contact Murray Pfaff today and see about those goodies.

For those attending...when you walk in, just ask for the Pro-Touring.com party.

Thanks guys...hope to see ya there.

Is there a Burger King or McDonalds nearby where Cooper's twins can eat?

[Travis B]

Do they have a bar there?
