Anything coming up folks? With the weather being in the 70's-80's consistently, I'm starting to see some cars rolling around. Spotted a real nice looking 96/97 silver WS6 driving north on 45 the other day...I wanted to turn around and track him down!

Hey I'm from over by Taylorville (about 30 minutes southwest of Springfield) and I went to college in Jacksonville. I farm up in the area so am usually around. Let me know if you come up in the area.

No doubt... She is coming down Friday 13th weekend, I will probably head that way a week or two after that.

Well I have been up 3 times in the past few weeks. LOL

I will be up there about once a month from now on however, I will post up next time we head up. Will be a bit before the car gets done and I bring it up though.
We went to a few bars in Jacksonville, right next to the square?

Pretty decent time, would like to meet some car guys up there and see what the scene is like in that area.
