Here are the route directions for the drive after we leave the garage, and before lunch. I'll be handing out printed copies that morning.

3. a.o.
4. sueden
and
5. yours truly

Bill Coleman-- hopefully you can make it!

Those attending sans shark:
1. auzivision (probably)
2. normy!

I'm really hoping some others can join us! There are still six days, so I'm hopeful!

I'll be there for a little while, but can't stay for long. I've got to be back home by 11:30. Pity, it sounds like a fun drive - and I speak from experience. I've done every mile of it many times!

Bill,

I'll be arriving around 9-9:30, so if you want to come earlier, you won't be alone.

Ha! You know I could not have done it without you! Thanks so much for riding with me, taking notes, and sharing your spreadsheet.

I'll try to get out and re-run just to make sure everything lines up and to get a time estimate. Maybe today.

Just returned from a long weekend in Michigan so it’s looking very probable that I can make it. I’ll need to get directions on how to get there from Wixom. I’ll be coming down from Wixom. Andrew mentioned something about meeting at his house first… is that on the way?

Auzi dude, Looking forward to meeting you. Andrews car is almost too fast. Chaad, can give the street # for Millicans place so that one can "Map-quest" it?

Auzivision,

Yeah, I saw your pics on the Random 928 Pics thread, so I figured that was a good sign!

I'm sure that Andrew will chime in here, or you could shoot him a PM, but in any case, coming from Wixom is pretty easy.

If you're going to A.O.'s place, you could take S.Wixom Rd. to 96E, take the next exit at Beck Rd. southbound, follow all the way to Geddes, hang a right (west), turn right (north) at the next major intersection at Denton Rd, and take that up to his subdivision, whose name I forget! But it's easy.

If you wind up coming straight out to the garage, it's probably most efficient to get on 96 East, as above), follow that to 275 South, and exit westbound on Michigan Ave/US12. Follow Mich Avenue west to W. Huron St. in downtown Ypsi, turn right (north) and follow, keeping right, to Leforge. Turn right (north) on Leforge, and an immediate right onto River St. You'll see the cars from there, and go ahead and pull up to the open warehouse door. We'll be lined up inside.

My cell phone is in the first post in the thread; you are welcome to call me, of course!

Good to have you on board!

Ah yes, the exact address...I have no idea! I'll call Milliken, get it, and post it ASAP.

Say, I didn't see any of your pics yet, Mac...did you get my email? I've got a wine tasting tonight (no surprise there!), but I can swing by tomorrow if you're 'round.

Can I come? (Even though I don't own a 928 yet?) I 'know' I can keep up (even with Andrew)...
