What time should we meet there so that everyone's there at the same time?

Great idea to have everyone show up at the same time, but first we need to have an idea of how many folks/fieros will be coming. 
Does this mean you're in?

There are some great meeting areas nearby:  Georgia Butts BBQ and a Publix plaza.  Plus some plazas on Scott Rd.

I have the flu right now, and although I'm sure I'll be better by then, I'll probably still feel run down, so I'm out.

Feel better.  Just remember there's nothing better than a car museum to improve your spirits   ;)

I'm going to try to make it.  Tegan is with us this Saturday so I'll see if maybe she wants to come along.

I have a second car if anyone would want to make a bigger Fiero presence.

Might just be you and me, which makes arriving together kinda.... unimpressive.

My youngest is taking the SAT Saturday morning starting at 0800.  This means I will not arrive in Eatonton until (probably) just before 10.  As of now my wife wants to come along.

Your wife should drive a separate Fiero.

I only have one Fiero, and for some strange reason she wants to be in the same car as me.

Looks like we'll have two Fieros attending.

My 6 yr. old granddaughter is coming with me.  My 87 is available to anyone needing a Fiero to drive.

Anyone want to use the 87 or drive along in their own Fiero?  Let me know so I can get it gassed up if you want to drive it.

For that matter, someone could take my silver Formula tomorrow also. I'm going to want to sleep in till about 9.

We're leaving shortly, too.  Tegan keeps asking to get on the road.

Anyone know who owns the silver Fiero?????

The first link shows no pictures.  Fierofool drove his yellow Fiero?  I guess the brakes were fixed, this last go-'round.
Title: Re: December 2nd at Memory Lane Classic Car Museum in Eatonton, GA
Post by: Fierofool on December 02, 2017, 08:49:44 pm
Yes.  Replaced the caliper and rotor and both rear brake lines and new Thermo Quiet pads.

Memory Lane will be closing in March. 

The cars will be put up for auction.

The auction will be in Charlotte, I think.

In a similar grain as Memory Lane, we met a couple of guys that have a large private collection in Athens, Ga.  Somewhere around 150 cars.  Not necessarily muscle cars, but a lot of cars from the first half of the 20th Century.  They said we could come and take a tour through their collection and there is no charge.  If enough people are interested in going, I can set up a group tour in the early part of next year.

Either one of the "bubble top" Impalas...

All I need are six numbers. The right six.

There's a 'Results' section listing prices from previous auctions.

Thanks for that.
Just like I thought... I have champagne tastes on a beer budget.

I'm really surprised, in general, though. The selling prices are all over the map. Some of them don't make a lot of sense.
And some of the sellers must have had absurd "reserves" set, based on the ones that didn't sell.

I think all of them were owned by the same people.  That was a private collection on display at the Memory Lane.

All of those cars (and bikes) appear under:
Events - "March 22 - 24, The Jerry & June Smith No Reserve Collection 3 day Sale"

I think the "results" i looked at were from a previous event.
