Shirt suggestion

I would like to suggest something like the Denver shirts but with the outline of the Arthur Ravenel Bridge (the NEW Cooper River Bridge) in the background!

That's great news George. We have 17 XLRs so far; 16 for our group picture @ Biltmore on Monday morning.

16 out of 17??? Is it me? Did I miss something? (typical of me!). Do we have to sign up for the picture?

One of the XLRs will be meeting us in Charleston, SC. It would be nice to have 20 or more XLRs in the group picture on Monday morning.

No, you don't have to sign up for the Monday morning group picture.

My brother's name is Cory, call him and let him know the details and he will get you squared away.

Will you be joining the group in Asheville or Charleston? :wave:

Great to have another XLR added to the list, Casey. Hope you can make it to Asheville, NC as well as Charleston. The more cars in the Biltmore photo, the better. :wave:

Hello,
We have decided that we are going to make this trip.

Excited to see the Biltmore Estate again, and especially the picture in front of the house.
We have never been to Charleston, SC so that will be a new adventure.
Reservations are made we are good to go!

Should be great time!
Looking forward to April

Car Show & BBQ!!!

Bring your Speed Shine & Cleaning Supplies!!

I have spoken with Corey (Comfrtzone's brother) at Smokey Bones in Charleston and set up a fun event for us on Thursday, April 14th from 11am-2pm. Corey will have the front parking lot reserved for us along with a private meeting room available to us. He will also supply a pulled pork sandwich lunch with two sides for $10 per person. Alcoholic beverages will be available on you!!

He will also set up a beer tub in the lot for 'Supa' and any others interested. He has contacted the local Cadillac dealership and they will be bringing down a new CTS Coupe to be on display with our cars.

This should be a great unwinding day and we could then possibly set up a Harbor tour in the afternoon (which is close to our hotels).

Please give me your opinions on this A.S.A.P.!! If we need to make any changes, I want to give Corey plenty of time to adapt.
