Not sure who all is coming, but if your interested, just let me know. I've got a basic plan down for going: Plan to leave Omaha between 9 and 9:30. Anyone traveling from Omaha, we'll arrange stops and so on when the time comes.

I plan to meet at Bosselman Travel Center (exit 142 off I-80) which is the same exit as Highway 65/Marshalltown I believe. I hope to be there by 11:30 and then leave promptly at 12:00 for Marshalltown.

Anyone intersted, either post or e-mail me at slot18@hotmail.com Next Thursday, I hope to have a good idea on the schedule, but that's basically it.

Andy,

Let me know when you are leaving Omaha... I just might follow you up from here. I sent you an email a week or so ago, and never heard back. Whats new man???

Still looking for another SC... so if anyone in the Iowa/Nebraska area knows where there is a resonable one, please let me know.

Aaron,
I never got the e-mail from you. What address did you send it to? You might have the wrong address. If you sent it to my yahoo account, then that's why no reply. I rarely check that account. If/when you e-mail me, send things to slot18@hotmail.com. I check that one 2 or 3 times a day.

I think we are leaving Omaha around 10. Since it's just two of us, I haven't really worked out a good meeting spot, but if you come, then we'll figure out a good place to meet. E-mail me at slot18@hotmail.com so when I get things together, I'll have both addresses (yours and his). Plus, I can update you on my 'Bird since I haven't talked to you since early January.

I went to Lincoln... looked at those cars, but neither were up to my standards..... I am a little scared of 185,000 miles on on of them.... but I appreciate your help. Please keep me posted if you hear of any more of them.

What $ do you consider normal. I just purchased a '94 from an Omaha Dealer he had listed for 7995 bought it for 5900 with only 76000 miles. Pearl White, Roof, Leather, 5 speed.

An other one I looked at buying from a Blair, NE Dealer but he wouldn't budge much and wanted 9600 for a red automatic 94 with 97000 miles and an automatic, roof and cloth interior.

If you do not mind flying to get one there is a nice one owner 1993 silver, 5 speed, leather no roof in Washington state and I think the price was around $4500.

Let me know what you want to spend and I will look for one while surfing the web.

I called about the white SC at Schrier Ford. It looked like a nice car, I just was in a debate on wanting to make car payments again. Nice to see that a SCCOA person got it, and will take great care of such a nice ride!

Sitting in the garage now waiting for the crappy weather to stop. I am heading to Branson the weekend of the meeting otherwise I would like to come to the meeting and meet other SC owners.

Well time to go out and polish a bit on the coupe.

A little town in Iowa called Grimes. North and West of Des Moines off of highways 141 & 44.

Are there other Middle Iowa SC owners out there.

I'm from over here by Lincoln, NE. Hey, I'm compiling a list of local Thunderbird/Cougar owners, so that when a meet or event comes up, everyone can be informed. If you'd like, I can add your name to it. I just need your e-mail address. Thanks.

What are you doing on March 16th? In case you haven't seen, there's a T-Bird meet in Marshalltown, IA. Not sure if knew about it or not. Come on up. Meeting time is 1pm at the Applebee's resturant. Check out Mike's webpage for the details, after all, he is the President. I'm from Nebraska.. hehe
