As always there will be tons of cars, people, live music, and great food. We always have a great turnout from the Focus and Contour community, I'd love to see some cougars out this year (especially you Greg!:biggrin:). So please come down and help support us in our fight against Muscualr Atrophy. Visit our website at CCSU Car Club - Home (http://www.ccsucarclub.com) for pics and an up to date show itinerary. Anyone with a business that would like to advertise with us email or PM me at dairdevyld at aol dot com. Hope to see at least a few cougars out this spring.

I would love to go to all of the events that are being listed on CEG, but I'll be immersed in rebuilding my Cougar for the whole month of April and May...!

so when are we digging the shell out of its snow tomb?

I may have an interest in putting my new Coog up for show in this one as this is so close to home.

Does anyone else in NECO plan on either showing their car off or going?

I'm still pondering this one over. Would be really weird if I had the only car from this century there. :facepalm:

It's for a good cause, though...and it is sooooooo close to home, too.

Anyone else planning on showing their baby off in the warm weather?

[Newcat016]

Count me in, i'll be in the USA Other category...hopefully i'll have a chance.

[dairdevyld]

Alright this is just a friendly reminder for this weekend upcoming show. I hope a lot of you guys will be able to make it out. We haven't ever had a cougar (latest gen) at our show so it'd be a first. I'd love to be able to judge one when we're giving out awards:evil:.

[aircougar1]

Would love to go, but 3L swap is going on for a NJ CEG member...

I sware, are you making 3L in your basement or something? Just when you do 5 of them, another pops up...too bad you couldn't go. Gotta hit up marks this summer once you finish the cougar. AS for this weekend, car is being wet sanded and buffed this weekend=finally going to look halfway decent. Its not really a show car, more of a go car so i'm hoping to be original here. Anyone else definitely going? Meet up before maybe? Brian, i know your in for this one...

[brapple]

yeah I definately want to go .... got a meeting place before hand ...

[AndrewM6097]

I'll be going to this as well. I wont be the only cougar/contour this time, hopefully. Although they did give me 3rd place in the 6 cylinder class at the WPI show :cool: haha. I def wanna meet up with you guys before i head in so please let me know if you guys def plan on going!

[Newcat016]

Since registration doesn't open till 11 anywhere on 91 is good to me. I'll have her hidden the night before while i'm at uconn so i'll be coming down that way on 84 in the a.m. I can meet andrew off 84 and then meet up with you brian on the other side of the river or something. Unless you both want to meet in Manchester?

[brapple]

manchester would be ok for me, little out of the way but it would work.


the last time I went I ended up waiting in line for awhile to get in ... so I don't know if we want to show up early or aim for like 11:30

Right now, they're talking rain the whole weekend. If it doesn't I'll be going....although I'm actually thinking of putting my Camaro in. Did you guys come up with a place if the weather is good?

[JScullin]

Car still not done for me either. :(

And I love TopGear too.

[juke-box-hero]

Just found out last night a buddy of mine is coming up from Philly who I haven't seen since last Summer. That being the case (IF the weather is nice), I'll see you guys at the show as I might hook up with him earlier.

Right now it's 60% chance of rain for Sunday. If it does rain, guaranteed, you'll be hard pressed to find any cars there earlier than 1990. :banghead:

[dairdevyld]

Rain is supposed to be done by 11. Just in case though we're extending registration til 4 or so. Either way I hope some cougars get to come out. It'd be a first for our show:biggrin:.
