I registered 12 cars but we can have more if they show up. We would like to have as many cars as possible. If your car cleans up good on the outside we would love to have you, whether you're a member of the club, or not. It is a rain or shine event.
After the parade we generally return to the Galaxy Diner for afternoon lunch. Hopefully, Robbie Finley will be well enough to come down and ride with us.
Sign up here if you want to be in the parade.

A friend of mine and I are dressing up like Magnum P.I. and his assistant, T.C. to ride in my 308 replica!

Make sure your car is shined up well and if you want, have some suitable decorations to put on it when we get to our parade entrance point. We usually have a couple of hours waiting before we enter the parade.

My car isn't shiny enough to be in the parade, but, does anyone have a passenger seat that I can fill ?
Cover it with shamrocks, green streamers, etc., and it will be fine.

I'm still swapping panels from my 86 to my 84. If I don't run into too much trouble anymore, it'll be painted and shiny by parade day. Wish me luck.
Wanted to thank Charlie and Don for their hints and tips and preventing me from making a total fool of myself.
I have a web site that shows the progress I'm making, so feel free to visit here:

Our club is a place to meet people who love a vehicle that endorses fun and excitement, and for enthusiasts to obtain help and information on repair and maintenance, as well as insight and history of a vehicle that has captured the hearts of a select few throughout the years.
As always, if you have questions, ask. Post in the forum with any problems. Also, you may want to start a build thread on this forum, too. Looks like your 86 was a base coupe. It definitely doesn't have SE trim.

Coming South on I-75, take Exit 252 Howell Mill Road ramp. Turn right at the end of the ramp. Move to the left lane on Howell Mill. At the next traffic light there is a bank. Turn left and go around behind the bank into the Kroger parking lot.
If coming South on I-85 split North on I-75. If coming North on I-75/85, split North on I-75 and take Exit 252B Howell Mill Road. Turn left across the bridge and go through the first light. At the next traffic light there is a bank. Turn left and go around behind the bank into the Kroger parking lot.
Please be there by 9AM. Generally folks want to run into the Kroger, etc. before we leave. We should be downtown in our staging area around 10AM. We will depart Kroger together. If you are late, you may have difficulty grouping with us due to the other vehicles that stage in the same area. It can take a lot of work to move a bunch of cars to make room for another, so please be on time.
Please confirm your attendance by posting just your name here.

Got my new wheels and supension done. Be there all shined up. Do we need to get stuff to hand/toss out like candy?
They do not allow tossing or handing out candy. They're afraid of kids getting hurt by tossed candy, or getting sick on bad candy.

The comments from the crowd were very positive. (Including a couple of slurred speech "Ferrari" references.)
The announcer toward the end was really funny: "If the Fieros and the Scions got together, they could take over the world!" or words to that effect.
Thanks Charlie!

I don't think the weather has ever been better for a St. Paddy's Parade. Lots of fun and a huge crowd turnout. They looked like they were having fun too!

First, yes, THANK YOU FIEROFOOL AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED ORGANIZE AND PARTICIPATED!
And, a special Shout Out to RAT PEE Himself for being there to cheer us on!
Leading the back of the GFC contingent, "T.C." and I heard a lot of the crowd comments, ranging from "That's not even a REAL Ferrari!" to "Hey, Magnum P.I.!"
One lovely brunette even ran into the middle of Peachtree St and yelled, "KISS ME, MAGNUM!" and stuck her head inside my window and laid one on me!
Of course, she was the one to whom I've been happily married to for 20 years ... despite the rumors FieroFool started at my first GFC meeting, there is no secret second wife named "Suzie."
One guy came up to the staging area and wanted to know if these were "Lotuses." T.C., told him, Oh, no, these are much better... they're FIEROS!
You are a great bunch of guys and gals, and this goes down as one of the most fun St Patrick's festivities that THIS Irishman has ever enjoyed!
Fiero Go Braugh!
(Long Live the Fiero)

I did nothing but put out a call for you guys to show up. You all are what made the group. Without you there would have only been me. I thank all of you for having the club spirit and the willingness to participate.

I could've come out in my MR2, but I bet you guys would've lynched me lol ;D. Its green though, so it would've just blended in, and if anyone asked I could've just said it was a kitcar ;D.

Because there are so many that aren't registered with our forum, I started this thread back in January hoping that anyone interested would at least check the forum at least once. Since everyone has different questions, it's best to ask and answer them on the forum so everyone can get the same information. Sorry you missed a very impressive crowd and a wonderful day for a parade. A little paint fade on the top could have been covered with decorations.

So many people have changed their emails and haven't updated their profile that I quit sending emails. I deleted the ones that kept coming back as undeliverable. All my emails to you had gone unanswered for quite some time, even when I was trying to hook you up with Lee.

What e-mail address did you send those e-mails to? nathanjames@netslinger.com ? I haven't checked that e-mail in years, my current one is my username, at gmail.com . I don't like just posting it on the web, that's one way spammers get your e-mail address. In fact that's why I stopped using that old e-mail address, I was getting around 50-100 spam messages a day and not much else, so eventually I just stopped checking it. I guess it was my fault anyways, for some reason I thought that since St. Patrick's Day is later in the week this year that the parade might be on the 19th, so I didn't check gafiero.org until today.

The parade is always the Saturday before St. Pats Day unless St. Pats falls on Saturday. Mark your calendar for 2012.
