The Market / Road and Track Magazines

« Last post by HarryT on February 08, 2024, 01:20:35 am »

I have 3 files folder boxs of R & T dating back to 1983 and up to 2000.  They are in great shape only read once. 
When I opened one of the boxs the top one was from 1985 with an article and pictures of an 86 GT.  If anyone has
interest in them they can come and get them for free, but they must take all 3 boxs.

Easter Parade is in Avondale Estates.  If you have not been it is a great little area of vintage architecture.  They have a historic board so no ugly McMansions just nicely restored pre and immediate post war housing.   Meet up location is behind city hall/police department in a free city parking lot address is 21 S Avondale Plaza, Avondale Estates, GA 30002. The address can also be put in as 21 N Avondale Plaza as its on the line and one side of the lot is N and the other S.  Meet up is early afternoon, I believe rollout is 2PM but may be 3PM, I will have to get the correct time details.  It is a slow drive and takes around an hour through the neighborhood, police led.  You are welcome/expected, but not required, to bring candy to throw to the kids along the route.  I  generally buy three big bags of Halloween sized candy and have a blast throwing it out both sides of the car.  There is a pre-parade get together usually meeting in the lot up to an hour before to chat and kick tires and at the end of the parade, which is at a local park in the neighborhood, for refreshments sponsored by the host Cadillac Club.  Many of the V8 guys will go to dinner locally afterwords.  I will certainly be there and if only one or all of you wish to come it would be great to have you participate.  No fee and no registration required, just show up and have a good time.

Club Events / Run For The Hills #29 Scouting Run

« Last post by Fierofool on February 06, 2024, 03:03:58 pm »

We will be doing a scouting run for this year's Run For The Hills on April 13 with a rain date of April 20.  The starting point will be Franklin, North Carolina at 9AM, but we can meet possibly in Gainesville and caravan up so we arrive together.

The run will include The Tail of The Dragon and other exciting roads and scenery.  This is a one day trip so we won't be staying overnight.

There are several events where the club can get some local public exposure. 

Larry suggested the Easter Parade on Easter Day.  It's somewhere in the Clarkston, Scottdale, or Avondale Estates area as I recall.

I have found that Sandy Springs will be holding their 2nd Annual St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday March 23, the week after the actual St. Patrick's Day.  Maybe to avoid conflict with the Atlanta parade.

Dublin, Georgia will have a parade on March 16.  We participated in this parade for several years before our application was not responded to.  If there's enough interest we can try again.

If you're interested in any of these, speak up quickly so we can make application deadlines.

The Market / Need a head for '84 Duke

« Last post by Tha Driver on January 29, 2024, 06:31:20 pm »

Yep, things have gone from bad to worse. Anyone have a good head for the '84 Duke? a bare head would be fine, but it would be nice to have a good complete one.
Thanks,

General Discussion / Re: Run from Winter Cruise

The invitation is to the Georgia Fiero Club and its members and folk.  He does invite others from time to time. 

I wouldn't want to go down at this time of the year and sleep in a tent.  Part of the reason I suggested June.

Cool.  How would he feel about having a bunch of Fiero-folk from a 500 mile radius of his place show up for dinner?

BTW, the Blue Angels practice schedule isn't out yet.  I know, cuz we're planning on heading down that way in a few days.

John is retired military and I'm sure he could find the schedule for them and maybe make that a weekend for us.  Probably could even get us into some things not commonly accessible to the general public. 

He says Naval Museum, Special Operations Outdoor Museum, Room Armament, Beach time, McGuires Restaurant which I'm guessing is a Top Gun motif seafood restaurant. 

He said people could get a hotel or camp at his house.

I know it’s selfish on my part but I would love to go to Pensacola. I have been at the Naval air base and museum and had a good time. Several times a year you can go on base and watch the Blue Angels practice and meet them after. Just have to check online for the dates they practice.

Club Events / Re: 2024 St. Patrick's Day Parade Anyone?

« Last post by Fierofool on January 26, 2024, 05:06:45 pm »

I don't know if Statham is having a second one this year, or not.  Last year the council was against it but the mayor held it anyway.  Now, they have a new mayor.

Winder had one last year and there was even newspaper coverage of it, but city hall says they didn't issue any permits and there was no parade last year.  ??

Statham and Dublin might be our only options, but it has to be done quickly.  I don't know what their registration cutoff dates are. 

We can certainly do Easter and St. Patrick's if enough people participate.
