STL European Car Show June 7th.

We are signed up. Been cleaning Prugna for days trying to get her presentable enough. I am using Frontenac as the dry run to getting the car cleaned up for the FCA National at the end of July.

The grandson will be with us and Miriam will bring his Ferrari F1 battery powered car too (it doesn't fit in Prugna).

Hopefully the weather will cooperate but the on-line forecast is still showing Saturday and Sunday as thunderstorms.

I'll be there! look forward to seeing everyone.

 

Who is displaying what? I'll have our '85 308 GTS QV (prugna) there.

I remember that last year there were some interesting cars in the parking lot that were not in the show.

Looking forward to checking it out this year. Also plan on checking out C&C for the first time, I haven't been in town for the previous months. Should be a good weekend!

 

I assume that its too late for a spot?[/QUOTE]

I don't know but it is worth checking with the organizers. Go to the show's website, there is a link to e-mail Dan in the "participant" section. He can quickly tell you if there is still room for another entry.

I would really like to see your 612. I find it a very under rated exterior design that does not photograph nearly as well as the car appears in person.

Just checked the weather projection and it says cloudy for Sunday instead of thunderstorms.

i'll be there

 

i actually just heard an ad on the radio for the show, that's the first time i think i've ever heard it really advertised, should be a good turnout this year.

 

I've seen a number of print ads in various local publications, posted at Sbux, etc.

this is a fund raiser for the Shriner's Hospital which is currently building a new facility so I guess they're trying to maximize the amt raised in a tough economic environment.

 

I'll be there but I'm not going to be entering in my car. Last year there were almost as many Ferraris in the parking lot as there were in the show.
I think it would become a better show if there more exotics in the show then two rows of BMWs. They could have had two rows of Italian cars last year.
Leave the 3 series at home.

 

I'll be there but I'm not bringing my car either. Anyone going to the Motoexotica auction tommorow?

 

that's one of the problems with this show, even though it's possibly the best one in town. a lot of the bmw's/benzes that are entered every year are ones you can see by just standing there at the corner of lindbergh and clayton on any given day, but it is for charity, so let them enter.

 

I tried to get the 612 there - but it is sold out - if things change when you all are registering let me know and I will be there... 314 280 7828 Doug

 

Make sure to stop by even if you are not entered. Got the exterior done and the nose compartment too. The interior is along but not done. The engine compartment is in-progress (waiting for the the replacement gas struts that the son in-law still owes as a Christmas present). The bad part about a major detailing is finding all the little flaws.

Jeff

 

I think you can just show up and pay to enter.Their not going to turn $$$ down ,plus you have a Ferrari.

 

Alright I will give it a shot... Thanks guys

'twas a good time, great cars and great people, unfortunately rain is becoming a tradition too.

anyone stick around for the awards?

 

Why dont they put it in the garage? It bummed me out to leave but given the thought the show would basically end upon rain it was a no brainer.
Thanks to posted the ics of my car -ish

 

I'm offended; Parker's F1 car next to Prugna didn't make a sufficient photo opp for you?

Jeff

 

a lot of cars ended up there anyway.

it would make sense, that way you don't have to worry about rain outs. and I think the garage is big enough, though it wouldn't have the ambiance of being outside (if it was nice). maybe the fire marshal isn't excited about a bunch of old cars and spectators in an underground garage?
