The OFFICIAL Fabulous Fords Forever Knotts 2010 Thread

Was looking forward to seeing all you knuckleheads again and meeting those I haven't.
HOWEVER... We are changing our April plans. Won't be going to Knotts this year.
My son is running the Boston Marathon the previous week. We decided to use our funds to go cheer him on.

Maybe next year to Knotts.
Have a good time.

Does the available seat have the standard wearing a ManKini requirement? :lol

I believe a mankini gets an immediate disqualification from riding in my car... unless it's a womankini... which carries a strict weight limit requirement.

The OFFICIAL Fabulous Fords Forever Knotts 2010 Cruise INFO

***NOTE***
Photo Op is at Point Vincent (lighthouse on point)...NOT Point Vincent Park
Same as last few years. It was noted by SacBill that the park is more inland which was not our destination.
Check the Google Maps link provided.


OKay here''s the usual cruise info. That being said If someone wants to come up with a better cruise and photo-op you are welcome to it.

I and some others just plan on the meet in the mall parking lot and then got directly to the Photo-op location, Point Vincent and hang there a while until dinner time. Everyone can do as they want...its that type of weekend. :pbj

We’ll try to stay together but will not stop to bunch back up. If you’re far ahead slow down, if you fall behind, speed up. All tickets received are no doubt earned so be careful.
Photo op will be at Point Vincent.
 
Just took the car for a ride the last few days. Looks like I gots me some work to do before the show. Even though the car's not officially entered this year, when it stalls at stoplights you know it's time to finally crack the hood. :)

Getting excited to see everyone again!
 
OK, guys just a reminder I have to pay the Hotel on the April 1, 2010. So if you haven't paid me, please do between now and then. If you are going to mail a check the mail time is about three days from NorCal and SoCal to me in Southern Utah.

Thanks,

Mel
 
Sat Cruise INFO change

PLease note the change/update to the Sat cruise info post a few replies above.
 
I just remembered you guys had migrated over here (I had wondered for weeks where the posts were on brand x's forum).

I'm in for Sun night and have my check submitted (haven't gotten my hang tag yet).

Been lurking here for a while, going to be joining you at the Marriott for the weekend. Mel sent me over here to see what was going on. Bill, if you need names for a headcount for the Sunday evening dinner, put me on the list for 2, we'll be staying in the area Sunday night and would like to join in.
We're going to be coming down meeting up with the NorCal group, planning on joining around Bakersfield. We're driving a 2010 Mustang, the '66 is far from ready for a trip.
Leon
 
I still have a couple people who have not paid for the rooms. Please pay since I will be paying the hotel next week and anyone that hasn't paid or made arrangements, I will have to cancel.

Thanks,

Mel
 
Got you Frank....I didn't know you were a Whittle though....My real good friend in Brawley is a Whittle.


Mel
 
Hmmm...could be a relation. My dad had some brothers that lived in SoCal. I haven't seen anyone from my dad's side for over 3 decades.
