MotiveLensPhoto Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Might have 2 cars there. It just depends on trailering, and if my wife will drive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm planning on making the trip to Kalamazoo.........Very nice area.....my Aunt and Uncle retired to a log cabin just outside of Kalamazoo on 40 acres back in 1975......I used to drive up and visit them every three years or so for Christmas. Their next door neighbor had a horse drawn sleigh and we would ride the sleigh, drink whiskey to keep warm and sing Christmas Carols..... lot's of great memories. Looking forward to seeing it again........I've never seen it without snow on the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kegart Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Winston, that's long trip. Hopefully gas prices stay down this year. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbinator Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I sent my form in recently to the club HQ to attend the Kalamazoo meet. im in hopes none of us catch anything but some good luck. I like Winston’s story about keeping warm on the sleigh ride. Riding in the snow is a lot of fun. Turbinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericisback Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I’m a new Riviera owner. This will be my 1st time at the event. I don’t think I’m going to bring my car this time. Just going to see the show and see how things work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Yea, definitely bring your car. Never know when you may get another opportunity. Its a relaxed event with as much focus on people interaction as the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kegart Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Half the fun is driving a old Riviera to and from a ROA meet. The other half is the people you meet there. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 By all means bring your car. People will ask you questions, you’ll have questions to ask. Best way tip-off get to know everyone. As the late Chris Wolfe said, “at first you come to see the cars, but you return to see your friends.” Best way to meet them is to show your car.

EmTee Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 If you don't bring your Riviera, you'll need to hitch a ride with someone else for ice cream! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6um3bysKECo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera63 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 My brother-in-law and I will be making the trip to Kalamazoo this year. We have decided to take the Lake Express Ferry across Lake Michigan. We will be hooking up with another ROA member from Minnesota and his wife for the drive and ferry ride across the lake. The ferry ride is not cheap but, it does make for a scenic and relaxing interlude on the trip and cuts a lot of travel time off of the drive if you are coming from an area west of Michigan. Another huge bonus is no drive through Chicago. If anyone else is interested in joining up with us for the journey PM me and I can give you the particulars. If not, we will see you in Kalamazoo!

Bill Is that the SS Badger, Manitowoc / Ludington? If so, hopefully you’ll be taking it across during the day. Linda and I took it from Wisconsin to Michigan at night in the middle of July. Without a calendar, one would have thought we were traversing Hudson Bay in the middle of January. We had a cabin but it was not heated. BRRRRRR. And it was dark. No ambient lighting from either shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving at 12:30 P.M on the 21st and coming back at 10:15 A.M. on the 25th. Should be plenty of light on both trips. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasander Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) I’d rather take a whopping than drive thru Chicago. Made that trip to BCA nationals in 2017. BCA disqualified me from an award because I didn’t drive the whole way. Edited January 26, 2023 by Chasander (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
