I am definitely IN! I usually cruise through streets on occasion but never really stop. Im in a SOM 2001 SS with ZO6's, flag me down if you see me around. I think its a great idea to get some stuff setup for once it gets warmer.

I'm also in the NW suburbs and arrange GTG usually meeting at crystal lake hooters and crusing to various spots, one being the schaumburg hooters.

Also we try to meet up on every thursday nights for the crystal lake car show.

Is this just going to be a GTG or will it be a cruise as well? I ask because I don't know the area at all and if you guys go for a cruise I won't be able to go as I won't be able to find my way back.

I wouldnt worry too much. Your from Wis. right? Just get on the highway and go north. If you come to photo's there are plenty of ways to get you back home. Worst case scenario you have to stop and ask at a gas station. Just come out and have a good time.

I travel between Chicago and Gurnee every day. I can get you back to WI from just about anywhere in the northern burbs. Just a matter of working your way back to either I94 or I294.

To get to/from Photo's you have a few options on where to get on/off the highway. I'd take 294 and exit at Golf Rd to make it easy. That's a little bit south of where you need to be, but not by much. Take Golf Rd. west to Rand Rd, then turn right (heading northwest). Take Rand Rd to Wolf Rd, and turn right (heading north). Go north on Wolf Rd. past Central, then the next major intersection will be Kensington. Photo's will be right on the northeast corner of Wolf Rd. and Kensington Rd. And if you need me to I can always get you back to the expressway from Photo's.

Now, as for the south burbs, if there is a cruise or meet down that way I'm not much use to you since I rarely travel that way. I'm sure the southside guys can give us some directions though.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

There is another Strats On Manheim and Grand but I dont remember a cruise night being there for a long time due to the neighborhood kids scratching a few high dollar resto cars

Pro2Low-

Yeah I remember you. I have a SOM 2001 SS these days. I needed something I didnt have to work on all the time to enjoy. I love the old stuff but it just doesnt fit in my life right now. We will definitely have to meet up at a cruise night or something and catch up.
