Is the forcast still for just "flurries"? I ask because my SSR has never seen salt & if it looks like there will be more than flurries I may have to shame the group by coming in our PT Cruiser.

Debbie, that sounds so much better then the last time you posted the weather report. I sure wasn't looking forward to traveling in that kind of (s.n.o.w.) I really did not want to say that word because it is a four letter word!!
we should really hope to see the sunshine for the weekend,it helps the tree colors really pop.
See you soon!!

Hope you guys have a great weekend wish I could be with you. I know HRG and Wingrider have Windsuppressr's so 54 degrees is still top down weather for them!
Its 82 degrees here in Nassau so I can't honestly say I would rather be there but I do miss not cruising with you guy's!

Wingrider is not able to meet up with us on Saturday.....will miss you!

E-mail confirmed from Carl & Judy new comers (Bay City MI). They will be there at 10:00 A.M.

hello everyone

met some wonderful people on saturday morning, I enjoyed having coffee that morning and learning about everyone in the Mich club. But somehow i missed the group on Sunday morning at the Plaza Hotel, I arrived about 11:50 and everyone had already left the the color run, "nuts wanted to play follow the leader too." looking forward to the next group outting. Deb, I put the window decal on my rear window but I can't see it because my glass is tinted to dark. I will have to take it off but will ruin it , hoping you can mail me a few more so I can try a new spot on the door windows. " keep em' runnin on the top side!"

Ron departure time on Sunday was 10:00 A.M.......we did wait in the parking lot until 10:30 A.M. for you......so sorry we missed you!!!! I wish I would have gotten your cell number the night before

I will send you a new decal......try the tailgate this time. That's where I am putting mine.

"Nuts" We would have loved to have had you play follow the leader with us!!!

We all enjoyed meeting you and so wanted you to join us on Sunday......till the next time Happy SSRing

PS I received your PM with your address for the new decal!!!

[HotRodGirl]

Two more Michigan Members that joined us for Saturday. I knew Ron was showing up but the surprise was when Keith showed up. Keith did't have his SSR with him....but it sure was nice to see both of them.

I'm not used to seeing to many people sitting in the dirvers seat of my SSR.....so when I spotted Keith I was honored and had to make the moment count...so I captured him with the digital


We spent several hours in the parking lot at Zhenders....cold......but just couldn't stop talking about each others SSR's and the items we have done to personalize them. No stress for the day.....if we couldn't make it to a destination it was just eliminated as spending time together talking was sooooo worth it We laughed and joked most of the day..... up next Frankenmuth


Sorry Keith....I forgot what color SSR you had???

[HotRodGirl]

Things you just don't see everyday while crossing an intersection

These two photo's seemed perfect for this ......how many times have you seen a giraffe at an intersection?.....then again how many times have you seen a group of SSR's at one

The giraffe seems to show up a little later that day to

[HotRodGirl]

Frankenmuth is a beautiful German Village filled with the hustle and bustle of Christmas at this time of the year. It was breath taking to see all of the autumn decorations and the changing Michigan scenery.

We enjoyed a warm cup of coffee inside Zhenders Bakery after standing in the parking lot freezing our butts off for two hours Ahhhh the aroma of freshly baked goods......just had to have one of those you know non-fattening donuts

We strolled the streets of Frankenmuth taking in the fresh crisp fall air and the wonderful gift shops along the way. Meeting back at a later time to share what we had purchased

Horse drawn carragies where all along the cobble stoned side walks and views of a time in history that gave you a very romantic, soft easy going feeling!

[HotRodGirl]

My favorite thing to do..................SHOP

[Gina]

Looks like ya'll had a great time. What a way to go out before you put those babies up for the winter.

[HotRodGirl]

Bavarian Belle Riverboat

Before we headed for a sit down "Family Style" All you could eat chicken dinner.....we met at the Bavarian Riverboat to enjoy an afternoon tour along the Cass River and soak up the fall colors. We enjoyed listening to our tour guide about historical Frankenmuth. The sun was shining and was a great way to wind down after walking the streets of Frankenmuth.
Yet again we grabbed a hot coffee or hot chocolate to warm up.......next Fall run I'm bringing winter gloves

Barvarian Belle Fall Scenery


WOW.........SPECTACULAR

Our tour guide was ringing the bell trying to get the racoons to come out of their homes for us...........that racoon wasn't going to have anything to do with it

[striaghtup]
