Woodward Dream Cruise MI

Sorry everyone,

The weather scared me away(I was coming up from the Findlay area of Ohio and it was kinda bad down there), I didn't bring my car up, the "blue" one that was supposed to be there.......

I ended up driving up later in the day to check out the dream cruise. The weather didn't end up being as bad as the forecasters predicted or I thought it would be, the sun was even out after I left the show for the drive home. I got there about 10:30, it lightly sprinkled/misted a few times but for the most part, the show was "doable". I was peeved.......I was sooo ready to drive it up and meet all of you. I can tell you that the weather scared alot of other people away. I know of quite a few other cars that didn't go up due to the weather. All in all though, I was impressed with how many cars were there is such nasty weather.

So, a McLaren won a trophy, what was it for? Best in the group or what?

Are there any other shows/cruises coming up that would be worth going to?

Chris

REALLY nice pics. I wish the picturer taker would put names with the people, so I'd know who's who!

IF IF IF I were to go to shows, this IS THE way I'd get there:-

I'm confused, your info says your from Farmington Hills, MI? Or are you in the Findlay Ohio area?

Where was that Blockbuster Video located that has that dark blue McLaren in it? Whoever owns it sure is beating the crap out of it. Plus they've had it out in the winter. I think thats an Atlantic Blue car........I hope it wasn't a Regatta Blue one - RARE. Its so dirty, can't tell......

Hey, about the dream cruise. What happened to the parking in Mustang Alley, the entire area east of Woodward ave. on 9th Ave. was supposed to be Mustangs and there were dozens of "other" cars down there. Just wondered why they didn't follow the parking plan that was laid out prior.

Also, the lot where the ASCs were, kinda was infiltrated by a couple of old trucks in the front of the lot which didn't let one of the ASCs, actually a couple park next to the rest of the ASCs. Just wonderin', not sure where I would've parked if I'd have driven mine that day.......

The lot was empty when the 5 of us got there (vans already there) we could have filled the lot if we ALL came together. Not sure about the non-mustangs maybe they parked before the Mustangs closed the alley?
