    Last year we had a blast with a rather informal concourse at the O'Hare Hooters organized by Double K Productions. It was a fun day eating chicken wings, having a beer and showcasing our cars.

    Now we're up for a rerun of this event, this time at the Schaumburg Hooters:

    Kewl!

    I should add, that I'm trying to have Kerry setup an "Italian Imports" category for us. That would give some of our Alfa, Maser, Lambo friends a chance as well.

    BTW....Welcome back,Andreas! Did you have a nice Trip? Catch any F1 action in Belgium?

    Yes,I will go out there to the Schaumburg Hooters Show. Does anyone recall as to how big their Parking Lot is? I assume that we will need to get there somewhat early,unless there will be an Italian Car secured section....:)

    Hey Frank you just missed the Hooters show where we first met two weeks ago. I could be convinced to go to this other one. Their parking is joined with several other rests. and part of an office complex. I would think that they would get permission from the office complex to cover the space. I might bring the bike instead this time, maybe get a trophy with that.

    What time does one have to be there?
    Is it safe to say that this is deal is not geared towards exotics?
    Usually Hooters does the muscle car thing.
    Thanks..

    The earlier the better, I'd say around 9am so we can park together in a group.

    Yup, definitely American Iron aside from us.

    Please also note, that there will be a participation fee of about $ 20 per car.

    Oh no!
    Not the $20 entry fee! If Skip reads this he is going to go off.

    To be honest I really don't get why car guys have to pay $20 to bring attention to somebody's establishment. I know it's not about the $20 but come on. I say we lobby for some freakin' free wings!
    Pardon my rant...


    Thanks.

    I'll do the same, but won't charge them. That way I'll win the peoples' choice award. Hahaha.

    Skip is one of the world's most smart and classy men, why else would he be an Emperor? Even Billiam knows of his power and influence. The only thing I didn't like about the last one was the girls being too pushy for the donations to the soldiers of Enduring Freedom. Regadless, nice show, fun people. First Fchat debut of the pre-overhauled black 512BB? Well first time I saw it and it looked hot. Nice guy driving it too.

    There will be a separate class for Italian Imports, so we won't have to go against the Ricers and any Lambo, Alfa, Bizzarini etc. is welcome too!

    If the weather is good (looks like it) the show will quickly sell out/fill up, so make sure you get there early enough (before 9am). Should be fun and the last concours for this year!

    Current Lineup:
    308 Dave
    308 Andreas
    308 Richard
    328 Tod
    355 Vince

    Apart from meeting Rick at last year's show, were there any other people who don't contribute to Fchat in attendance? Wasn't there a yellow 308? Regardless, I have the H2 for a few weeks, ( I plan on selling/trading it, ) and it might be a fun car to bring. Or I can just steal back the 575 for a day. If that is the case, I will go and while all the people are drooling over the cars and tight tank tops, I will be in Woodfield shopping for goodies and odds and ends for the home. I don't think I can handle staring at the cars for more than a few hours and the best looking girl I will ever see would be back at my home. I guess that means Andreas will have the keys to the car just in case it needs to be moved. Is that ok? Oh yeah, and 53 is so close for a quick drive.

    PS: Would it be alright to have to leave past lunch to 2pm? Didn't things die down around that time? I don't think I can last waiting till 4 to wait for the chance of a trophy.

    I won't be able to show, but I'll be up for a few hours in the morning then have plans in the afternoon. Might bring the bike instead.

    Dave, many good points: Yes, there was that carburated 308 last year and I followed up with the owners after the show (sent them a bunch of pictures), but never heard back from them.

    Yes, I'd think one could leave around 2pm if you don't want to hang around for the trophy ceremony. And yes, I could repark your car if need be, no problem (that's how I got to drive the carburated 308 last year...). With Woodfield mall nearby it would make sense to pass some time there. So I'll be happy to collect car keys if somebody wants to do that.

    Would be very cool to see you again. BTW: Don't try to sell the H2 to Switzerland, they are about to ban them there because it kills pedestrians in accidents.

    Current Lineup:
    308 Dave
    308 Andreas
    308 Richard

    My brother (jdl308) and I have tried to hook up with you all several times this summer but had previous plans. I believe we just missed Frank in Downers Grove on import night. Sunday is no different, we play golf with dad (88) and have an engagement in the PM. If no one minds, we would like to drive up, and meet with you all 9:30-10:00 and spend what time we can.

    Regards
