Me and my GF are getting married in April and a few things are still up in the air, but this meet is on my priority list. If we both come she might be able to drive an Eagle if you'd let her and if she didn't mind not riding with me for the trip to the motel.

If I can convince the Wife to fly into Denver would transportation be available? Wish the Kammback would be ready by then but time is short and so is money..

@SpreadEagle...I would think one of us Colorado people could do so. And my wife would be delighted to socialize with your wife. Are you proposing to fly into Denver or Colorado Springs?

I may have to fly in too, I can catch deals on airfare to Denver for pretty cheap sometimes

Plus the thought of 1200 mile drive (one way) in ANY car makes my back hurt.....

What's better in life, than cruising down the road with nothing weighing down your mind, and fun ahead of you?  I love a good road trip. But I guess im still young. One of my favorite thoughts right now is going to one of these meets, in an eagle that I fixed up.  Not anytime soon, but ill make it.

Im with ya there, I've been dreaming of takin my mustang on Hot Rod Power Tour for a few years now. And going to the eagle meet would be awesome too. The rambler ranch sounds pretty sweet.

I can't wait for this. Hopefully my car is in good enough shape, but I have all summer to get it up to par.  I just bought a "new" used car, so I don't have to drive the Eagle every day. It definitely makes it easier for longer projects (although, to admit, I get things done quicker when it is my only car!)

1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

Unfortunately it's looking like I won't be able to bring my Eagle, but I'd still love to make it and will gladly drive one of the beauties from the Rambler Ranch to the Hotel!

Are there specific dates yet?  I will be taking 10-14 days off of work, so I do need to start planning this. Thanks!!  :blob1:

I have reserved the motel for October 11th and 12th. We will leave Rambler Ranch on Saturday morning about 10AM. Lets make this the largest gathering of Eagle's ever! We had 35 cars 2 years ago, I would love to see close to 50 this year. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Terry

drock87, looks like its Oct 11 & 12.  Plan to spend Oct 10 at the Rambler Ranch also, because the couple hours on the 11th before the caravan leaves isn't enough to take it all in!
