[batstiva]

Anyone headed down there from MD, VA, WV, PA area want to try and hook up for a convoy? Planning on leaving early Fri. morning here. Not sure how I'm going yet, kind of depends on if anyone wants to convoy, and where we might want to meet up.

[Smedley]

Yeah hopefully i can get with Eurotiva and we can ride out but i dono what he plan is as of yet.. Im just worried because i haven't put too many miles on this B6T motor in the car even though it has been swapped for almost a year lol... But im gonna try i've never turned down a challenge lol.. That could be a bad thing

[V8Festiva]

I should be able to make it.. Got the car going hopfully it can make the 1,200 mile round trip.. lol should be good times ill bring a tool box cause you never know what could go wrong.. Add another Florida member to the list!

You will make it. Done two over 1400 mile round trips to the Ohio meet in my high miles Festiva.

I knew if I had a problem while at the meet, there would be lots of help to fix.

We have the members coming that can fix anything and I have lots of spare parts.

Maybe you can convoy up.

I worked at Pope Ford here in ATL in 1988-1990...the most Festivas we ever had was about 10. I remember there was a 1990 Festy with one of those weird tail finishers below the rear window on the lot for almost six months...the next year model was coming in, so I asked what kind of deal they could give me on it. I already had a 1989 L, so I knew what a fine car it was...the sales manager said he wouldn't budge because nobody could tell the difference between the 1990s and the 1989s. What a doof!

[sam.1956]

Honestly? When I bought my baby car, Gary Yeomans Ford in Daytona Beach had an ENTIRE lot FULL of them! Had to have been 300+ Festivas! Thinking back, I drool......

300+ in one place?! OMG!

I can't remember seeing many at the local Ford dealerships during that time frame. Come to think of it... I can't remember what I did yesterday...

[MONSOON]

Say what!

You better have a good excuse!
I'm going to be there!

My sons is getting married 2 weeks later and itll just stretch my fundage a little too tight for comfort if I try to fit FM3 in.

Somebody's gotta stay home and make sure everyone's using the search button.:mrgreen:

Kidding, MONSOON.

Thats right! And dont anyone forget it either!

[scitzz]

Likely more than was ever at a Ford dealership at any one time! HA!
