Default CT hangouts

Any people with LS cars hang out anywhere around the milford area ? I've been out of the scene for awhile but am getting my 2000TA put back together. Would be nice to meet fellow enthusiasts.

Wow I haven't been to the turnpike in years. Had quite a few races up there. last couple times I drove through there didn't seem to be as many people hanging out. Chef what car do you take to heavenly on sundays ? the TA or the G8 ? maybe I'll stop up this sunday and check it out. What time does the show start ?

I can meet up on wed at Hooters. I wouldn't have my TA as I am not done porting my heads for another couple weeks but would be good to meet some LS enthusiasts. Lemme know if anyone can go and I'll definitely show up.

Hey guys! Just came across this thread...glad to see so many local guys around the area. Rob, long time no see! Glad you still have the Ws6!

I sold my first 99 SS years ago but finally picked up another one. Getting back in the game. Would love to meet up with whoever is still around before the winter season hits!

Pre winter thought is to meet some or all of you guys at any point and possibly get a small photo shoot of our cars. Anyone down for a few beers or something over the next couple of weeks before the cold weather hits?

My thought for photos would take place in the driveway...i have a circular driveway with a grass island in the middle and a flag pole. Thought it might be cool to pack some F-body's around the American flag and take an aerial shot along with a few other angles. Anyone down? I'd like to get at least a handful of cars for this, with no limit b/c we can always overflow into the yard.
