    Just wanted to see everyone's interest level in the 3rd annual “overnighter” Running of the Bulls/Horses. Lamborghini Troy is working on the route as we speak. I’m thinking the central lower Michigan and a visit to the Gilmore Museum in Kalamazoo.

    We would caravan from Chicago up to Michigan together (Lambos and Ferraris)

    Please email or PM me!!!

    How's the parking situation there? Covered parking? I could call if you don't know off the top of your head. I appreciate the suggestions!

    I wish I could go but I will be busy. The Timberline in Dowagiac would be a great place for dinner. Great steaks and old school service. The restaurant is located in a heavily wooded area and I think the sound of your group driving in would be beyond awesome.

    NOT TRUE!!!!! You were mistaken. Not everyone from Illinois went on the Michigan drive......

    The LCA had a professional photographer along. I'm waiting to get the photos and will post them.
