Thanks,

It looks like two hours for me and just under 100 miles. Hard to keep your car clean during a trek like that

I hope for great weather that day as I know we are going to have a great time.

Maybe Classic will let you use their car wash.

Is there a car wash near Motel 6?

Bite your tongue young man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it sounds crazy but I have not washed my car in over a year. I always keep it detailed but that is the benefit of not getting caught in the rain. It is almost impossible not to put fine scratches in the black paint while washing and drying.

Is There a list for the Cars and Coffee? A couple of us should get there early and stake our enough spots for our group. I can do this with the help of another car or two if we know how many spaces to save.

I've been putting "C&C" after the names on the TMS list that have said they are going. I plan to get there early. It would be helpful if someone could bring some orange cones to reserve some parking spaces. Portable chairs would work for that too.

That would be great. I really am going to try to get up there that early but if I am running a little late, it would be nice to park with other Crossfires.

Regarding the C&C: When you pull into the parking lot, there will be someone there to direct you where to park. Make sure you tell them you are with a group of Crossfires. They might know if any others are already there.

I imagine you can charge what the market will bear, depending on how bare the "glistening" will be,

What, pray tell, will you be wearing?

roadster with a stick

Char, those of us Dallas folks living on the east side of the Trinity River will be driving directly to the C&C from our homes. There is a large contingent of folks staying at Motel 6 that are coming to the C&C. Get Eric to give everyone a EARLY morning wake-up call because the "show" spaces fill up quickly between 8 & 8:30.

So, what time are those glistening car washes?
