This years drive will be on Aug 23.  We will be driving from Freeport IL to New Glaris WI.  Bring your cameras and get pictures of the cows.  Look forward to seeing old friends and new ones.

Dr Bob is it just going to be saturday? How many people do you expect? I will put in for the day off.

[drbob]

Ya, just saturday.  We do it real simple.  We get together and bull for about a couple hours, then we hit the road for a nice drive usually about 45 mins.  Have lunch.  Wander around the city we invaded.  Then drive back.  It is more of just owners getting together for a drive.  This year we are going to take pictures of cows.  (the city of new glaris has all kinds of painted cows around the city)

[drbob]

Besides Bob, how many others are planning to join in the drive.

We don't have alot of activities planned because planning takes time and money.  Things I don't have.  

We just pray for good weather and no old people on the road in front of us.

Rockfords " on the waterfront is Labor day weekend.  this years headliners are "Willie Nelson (thurs), Uncle Kracker (fri), Jethro Tull (sat) and Cheap Trick (sun).  I am contemplating changing the drive till that week, and do the festival.  Any Ideas?

Pray for no old people on the roads? Are you making fun of bill, bob? He isnt going to like that comment about him you just made.  

[Razzamatazzboca]

All right Anthony.
You've just become my next target.
Watch your back.

[drbob]

Looking forward to seeing all on Saturday.  Directions have been posted on the yahoo group site.  It will be cool seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

I just got back from the 2nd Annual Mid-America Capri Gathering.  a couple pics have been sent to anthony, with 8 count em 8 Capri's (we doubled from last year)  We had a nice drive that terrorized the passengers.  Luaghed a whole lot, and generally had a really good time.  I invite all who gathered to share their comments.  And I want to thank everyone again for coming, and really look forward to seeing all again next year.  I'm telling ya folks, next year be a part of the largest, longest running, gathering of Capri Convertible enthusastists in North America.

I only saw 7 cars in the photos. Where is the 8th? Cant wait till the east coast one. So far it is up to 5 and having aussie from maine being the current futherest drive to come. Hope more show. Maybe bill will bring one of his cars up to join in. The more the marrier. And I dont care what bap and lionhrt and capri_chick say about you. Your always welcome to come. hehe  

P.S. send me some more photos people so I can make a new page just for car shows and gatherings. Send as many as you can.

Anthony, you've got it ALL WRONG...

We like Bill...

If it weren't for Razz, we wouldn't have anyone to tease...  

Of course you HAVE to have Razz... he's good natured and takes teasing well... poor guy can't defend himself very well but you gotta give him an "A" for effort...  

('course, sometimes he makes it TOO easy, but that's ok... )

[STE_6000]

Are you going to the east coast one bap? or your now close enough?

[bap]

No, not close enough, but thanks for askin' - wish I could, it sounds like it'll be Fun!

Either the one in IL or the one in KS would have been closer for me, but the timing didn't work out.  

Just got done checkin' out Russ & Diana's photos of the meet in IL.  COOL!  Makes me want to make mods to my Capri    

What were the years of the two white Capris?  

I didn't really think about this before, but I'm surprised at what a change a little thing like the lens color can make in the front of the car.  I mean... it's pretty obvious that ground effects and ...you know... tires, hubs, sportster, color, etc are going to make the appearance look different, but even smaller things can change how a portion of the car is ...I dunno... would ?highlighted? be the right word... you know what I mean?  Changes what you're looking at and how you perceive it... 'spose it's like women (or Bill) using makeup to accentuate this and downplay that ('course on Bill nothin' helps    )

So now... after seein' the pix...

Who's car is whose?
