2012 HRPT Hotels

[rexdogg]

We're supposed to be in the Chicago area that week also heading to Detroit on Thurs. I'll give you a call when it gets closer.

Holy Moly.........more guests?.......I do have four bedrooms......and a couch.........anyway, '69Z in shop for preparations: oil/filter/plugs/timing, new fan and alternator, fix pinion leak and replace ujoint, minor interior and exterior paint work, etc.....should be good to go.....Leon, you can grab your 2012 PT sign somewhere along the way........

I'm going to be staying at the Holiday Inn Itasca for a couple nights if everything goes right.

been trying to find info re: pre-Power Tour events (scheduled, approved, rumored, etc.); if you see/hear of any, please post. Just learned that my wife is leaving for LA at about the same time, to visit family, so.....instead of me looking at the dog, and the dog looking at me, I might head to Detroit early........as an aside, I'm having a few metal signs made (Hot Rod Power Tour 2012), and will bring a few with me (had a few last year); I'll have one for you if you want (a freebie for the freaks)......

Thanks, the metal PT sign sounds cool...I'll keep searching for the pre-event information too, as I would like to see a little more of the Detroit area this time, and missed Lingenfelter visit last year as Rett and I were already hauling ass back...

Do you need any window stickers for the Z since you took the Chevelle last year ? I think I have a full Power Tour 2011 sticker - one minus the 2011 and a Long Haul Gang sticker - they're yours if you want them.

Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are great - not sure if I can get there THAT early though (Bob ? We'd have to do the museum Thursday if we do the Vets Show on Friday) it's a two day drive (comfortably) for me. Hell I did Detroit to Colorado Springs in 20 hours once, but I was young and dumb then, I'm just dumb now.

yes, took the Chevelle last year, taking the '69Z this year......always in the need for window stickers.....2012 PT signs almost here, will be here for you......might order a few more, depending on how many freaks might be interested.....

Cool - PM me your address again - and I think you wear an L or XL BLACKSHIRTS right ? No sense in mailing just stickers. Shit man - we're getting closer all the time - I'm getting pumped.

pm sent......is it time to leave?......

Like Mickey Gilley says - "All the girls get prettier at closin' time" - or as I used to say at closing time - you don't have to go home, you jusy can't stay here.

looks like I'm going to have an extra room reserved at most of the stops.........will hang onto them until late May.....if you need one, Phil, please pm me........speaking of closin' time, I get way better looking too right about that time.....between closin' time and driving to the local White Castle for some romantic sliders for me and my new friend.....

[70chevyC-10]

I'm good on rooms but thanks for the offer Dave. White Castle is like Liquid Plumber for humans.

Hey rexdogg, I would be interested in one of the 2012 PT signs if you have any left. More than happy to pay you whatever you need for one. Any other extra 2009-11 that you may happen to have also. Just PM me on the deal.

2010 PT signs?

Speaking of signs, did anyone out there see an event metal sign for 2010? The only long hauler handout that we ever seen was the small bag handed out when we were coming down the gangplank off of the USS Alabama after the group picture. I'm talking about the one from 2009 on the walk-in door of my garage in the picture below.

I have one from last year (2011); I can bring it with me this year (along with '12 signs)....when we get closer to the tour, I'll pm with some contact info.....

Sounds good. I'll send you my private email just in case I forget to check my PM. By the way, noticing that you are from Chicago, we plan on being in Rockford to visit grandaughter & (sigh) great-grandaughter on Monday & then heading to Detroit on Tuesday to try & make the cruise that night & the brand tour on Wednesday.
