I would like to extend an invitation to my fellow Z/G enthusiasts here on My350Z to attend my University of Connecticut Car Club's Annual Spring Car/Truck/Bike show. We have worked extremely hard to make this show a success...all we need now is participation. It will surely be a great time, and this area of CT will provide some beautiful spring scenery if you are coming from afar.

Last year we were rained out, and didn't have a rain date, but this year we absolutely do. The previous year, 2006, we had a 700+ car turnout.

Do not hesitate to post on this thread with any specific questions, or better yet, PM me.

I'd go if I can get a group of friends to come along and if it doesn't rain this year.. I had a great time in 2006

 

Subscribed to thread. I'll make it for sure. Looking forward to seeing fellow Z drivers.

If it doesn't rain this time, I am in Andrew!

 

Quite frankly, I just can't be the only Z there with stock 17s.

 

Hope we can make this one for sure.

 

U wont be the only stocker there.....and I said stocker not "stalker" Can't do that sh*t anymore

 

Sounds like this would be worth the two hour drive

 

....not with that TT. geez.

 

bump!

 

Huh?

 

It shouldn't take you that long to get here with all that power from the Twin Turbos. It was a lame joke, if you want to even call it a joke. I swear I can be funny....sometimes.

 

Should I be bumping a thread like this? Or do we all think people will find it?

 

Thank God it won't be like it is today in April!

 

One bump per day keeps the uninformed away.
