Sounds like a cool event and the 3-1/2 hour drive is certainly doable.

I'll have to see how the family calendar looks a little closer to the gathering's date, if you guys allow folks from Ohio to cross the border.

P.S. Interesting that my posting with pictures to the New Member area last evening was met with a notice that the Mod needed to approve my post... yet this one went through without intervention and is shown as my Post #1.

 

Yes, we'll allow you Ohioans into Michigan

Joking aside, we'd love to have you there! Just let me know when you can commit to it and you can also email the club directly to register - michiganmontecarloclub@gmail.com

Regarding your 'ps' comment, it might be because your post contains images and you're a very new member. I believe after five total posts or so that goes away.

 

That is quite possible.

I just didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with people, having them think I ignored the multiple directives to start a "New Member" thread before posting elsewhere.

Hopefully the mod or admin will approve that post later today as I'd hate to have to write that up again.

 

Well hey, hopefully you are able to make it. Like I said, let me know when you know.

67 days away!

 

36 days!

More info about our 'cider run' cruise - At 2:30 pm, for those interested, we will have our 'cider run' cruise up to Spicer Orchards in Hartland, about a 40 minute drive. Please advise we will most likely be parking in a grass parking area. Once there, those attending are welcome to check out the facility and then depart as they'd like. Check out Spicer's website to see what they offer > Spicer Orchards Farm Market, Cider Mill, Winery

 

This is coming up quick - we are just 8 days away!

 

4 days!

 

PLEASE ADVISE - Due to weather, we have decided to postpone the Fall Meet to Saturday, October 20. Same time of day. Same location. Please refer to post #1 in this thread for all info.

 

11 days! Currently 18 Montes registered.

Remember, if you plan to attend please register by emailing michiganmontecarloclub@gmail.com, subject 'Register', with (1) your name, (2) car info, (3) your location and (4) your email address. Registration is not required to attend but is recommended - so we have an idea of how many cars to expect.
