Fun Run for End of October
« on: September 30, 2012, 12:09:45 am »
Hi All;
I locked down the thread on my Little Black Car problem and we will now discuss a late October Fun Run here. For those that have not heard about it, we are starting to plan a run in late October coming to our house in Tamassee SC sometime during the day for cake and coffee.  We have a lot of nice Fiero roads and scenic sights here.
I have stated that we don't drink coffee so we don't even have a coffee maker so someone will have to bring one, and you have to drive a half mile on gravel to get to our place.  Other than that, welcome to our neck of the woods.

Harry, can we do the weekend of October 20 or 21?  I'm looking forward to this.  Not just for the colors, but the new territory and to just be back inside the pack.

How about if we meet you and Karin somewhere in SC, say maybe Walhalla and make the trip to Cashiers as the morning half of the cruise?

We were thinking more towards the 27 or 28th for the colors but whatever works for most of us is OK with us.  We were thinking the same thing.  You guys start the run in the morning and get up to our place around 11.  There is a gas station on 11 where Charlie and Don H. filled up on one of our runs and its only a few minutes from our house if you need to fill up before we leave our place.  We would then do some sightseeing and driving in our area on our way to Cashiers for lunch.  Then head over to Ceasars head and see what time it is getting to so we can determine where else to go before heading home.  It is only about 1/2 hour from the Georgia border on I 85 to our house.
Lets kick around a date that would work for everyone so I can arrange for that day off.

The 27th sounds good to us.  How about anyone else who wants to join in?

Greetings! I would like to throw my hat in as well to make this run with you. I really wanted to be at the meeting/show yesterday but I could not make the schedule work. It looks like I can make the 27th or 28th work though.

Welcome, Steve.  Glad to finally have you aboard.  It'll be an early rise and shine for you, but I think you'll enjoy the day, especially if you've never been out on the road with a flock of Fieros.  I'm anxious to see that 85GT.  I've always liked them.  (Owned 2). 

Bring someone along with you if you can and also bring a spare Ignition Control Module and an FRS radio.  The FRS is for communication when you drop behind due to an Ignition Control Module failure and the ICM of course is to get you running so we don't leave you behind :D

Welcome Steve.  Charlie, as far as I know The Little Black Car is still on its original control module. I guess I should pick up a spare to carry aboard.
I had The Little Black Car in a Cruise In here in Salem on Saturday.  There were no prizes or anything, but she sure got a lot of attention from the 18 to 25 year olds.  One man in his 60's came over to me and said he was in the engineering department of the Fiero.  He had the fun job of experimenting  with different engines, trannies, suspension etc. and then testing them for a few days.  He said he also had a lot of original Fiero stuff, like books, shirts, jackets  etc.  I told him if he wants to give some of it a new home to calll me.  I gave him my card.  I also told him if he wants to sell some of it to call me as there are a lot of people I know that would love to buy some of it.  There was a toss up as to the biggest car between a 37 Packard Clipper (Ganster Car) and a 58 Mercury Park lane convertible with a continental kit but we were the smallest car.  They ranged from a Model T to a couple of new Chargers and Mustangs and everything in between. It was a pretty good turn out for this small area.
