If 5 of you/NECO want to come, get together and send an e-mail so everyone can park together! I'll "show" my car again if it means getting to 5 vehicles as well. :shrug:

EDIT: CRAP, FML. IT'S ON MAY 2ND, NOT 3RD.
 
I'm interested as well, 1995 Contour SE woo.

I'd like to bring a mobile powdercoating setup if they would allow :laugh:
 
if anyone coming up from CT wants to meet at my house and drive up together that can be arranged.

All i want is a god damn head start....just kidding i should be down, i'm rushin for the CCSU show as is so we will have to see if this turns into my first show of the year...
 
Guys, let me know if we have a reasonable size group going. We can all park together if so, which would be sweet. I'm hoping I can clean up my car a bit and get the wheels and sideskirt(s) on by then...
 
I'm actually going to go. I'm not really going for the show, just want to hang out and see some of my old buds and maybe some new faces. This also depends on the weather.
 
Just a reminder that this show is THIS WEEKEND! It would be awesome if we could have a group of 5 to park together! Unfortunately, my car cannot make an appearance due to being in absolutely horrid shape. Horrrrrriiiidddd.
 
does it just need to be cleaned up? if so come over thursday night and we can work on it.


If the weather is good I'll be there. Aiming to take the turbo but the turbo is sitting on the floor right now. should be back together by the weekend though.


if anyone from CT wants to meet at my place and head up together let me know.
 
My car is still in winter mode. It needs a ridiculous cleaning. Not to mention it has a new gigantic keymark on the passenger side. I hate college.

And thanks for the offer, Brian, but I'm really really busy with stuff this week. Lots of projects and presentations to finish. I'm definitely COMING to the car show, but there is absolutely no way I'm entering.
 
I'll enter even though none of my summer mods are on/in yet. My paint is in horrible shape and paint is flaking of my front bumper in huge chunks. Oh well... it is what it is.
 
do we need to meet before hand to drive in together to part together or if we have 5 people we will be assigned a spot?

I'd say either way. But I think we should meet up before hand. I am driving up either the night before or early that morning and headin over to my buddy's house. He lives RIGHT across the street from Amherst High School so we could just meet in that lot. It is right down the street from UMass.
