Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
I would have thought the staging area for gathering would have been on of the major hotel parking lots that are close to SIA.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Not sure if this will help, but this was the staging area at the 25th Anniversary Meet. It was in a large parking lot behind the hotel, which in this image is the building to the right, behind the pearl white and yellow SVXs and somewhat obscured by the large tree. We initially gathered in the smaller parking lot behind that hotel and then moved to this larger lot.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Thanks for the memories, Shadowyng. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. Lately I've been thinking of getting rid of the Viper and 3 of the SVXes due to our age. I am 771/2. In early May I'll be 78.
Your photos of the 10th anniv. meet knocked those kind of thoughts from my head. You can be as young as you think you are.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Larry, so are you thinking about making that same trip to Lafayette 20 years later? You have more SVXs for the trip than you had back in 2002.
Seeing how we will both be the same age it may be our last chance. Or just stay home and go to Reading. .

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
I'm hoping to make the trek in my 96 Bordeaux if I can wring it and feel comfortable it will make the long drive.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Well, that'll be a hell of a drive, but I'll certainly look forward to seeing another Bordeaux if you're able to make it. I did the cross-country drive twice in my previous '92 pearlie and it did great. Stopping every 4 hours for gas, etc., and back on the road, and these cars sit so well on long trips. I've got a ton of work to do on my gal before she's ready for the trip, but I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Hey Rick! I too would like to go however given the time commitment just being on the road, there is no way for me to drive from california to Indiana and back. However, I'd be more than happy to fly out and meet everyone.

I'm motivated as I worked in Lafayette for over 20 years, lurked in the background at the 10th Anniversary meet, and still have a few friends that work at SIA. Not to mention old neighbors would put me up so no hotel costs in Lafayette.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
Hey, me too! I had been threatening to do it for the past bunch of years, and finally actually pulled the trigger this year. I am now officially a man of leisure.

Re: Welcome to the 30th Anniversary Meet Forum
So, we'll see you there in May? Please feel free! I was still attending the Reading meets for about ten years when I didn't own an SVX and it was always great to get to see the people and the cars; it was my yearly fix, since I almost never see other SVXs on the road. Now that I have two, clearly it's not an issue, but I'm looking forward to this meet and hopefully Reading if that takes place.
