Default Official Dream Cruise Thread

Time to get one started... where's everyone meeting up? I've got a couple guys coming in from Ohio, I'm in Berkley, right between 11 & 12 mile. Last year the hot spot seemed to be the Kroger parking lot at 13 mile. If you see me cruising, give me a shout.

We should meet up. I have to go out of town this Saturday, but I'll be out cruising Sunday night, the weather looks decent. Hopefully it holds out for the Dream Cruise. Last year's weather sucked.

I pretty much live down there the week of the cruise. My club has a lot at a brake shop just south of Normandy (~13.5 mile). Can't miss my Orange Z. Say hello if you see me out there.

Sweet! I am always up for meeting local people.

I made this for a friend, but I guess it would serve a purpose here...



The circle at about 12 1/2 mile is where I will be most of the Dream Cruise weekend.

Ok, Me and a couple people will be at the Tech Center all day for the F-body/Corvette show. That sucks that you have a picnic. But I'll give you a call sometime in the afternoon.

I preregistered for that about 4 months ago, before the work thing came up! I should be getting home before the show is over on Sat. With all those people there, Woodward should be quite a sight! I will def be down there.

If there are any more preferred routes to navigate around the back streets to get to the different shows, please post them up. I'm going to be over in the Birmingham area.

What's up all? I leave for Michigan this morning. I will be driving my dad's 79 Camaro Berlinetta this year. We'll be down on Woodward most nights until Dream Cruise.

Yo, I was up in the Kroger lot at 13 mile tonight, real nice crowd already. I think we should get a section of LS1's up there one night this week. Let me know, I'll be out probably every night this week, weather permitting.
