Sorry I cannot attend this year. But, A request, I would like to meet up at the start point to prove to myself that there is more than one other SVO in the state of Georgia. I know that they are out there but to my dismay, I have not seen another SVO, other than mine, on the road since 1998 and that one was in a parking lot. My SVO is ready to go, well almost, but the new job means that I cannot attend this year. My request is; Where are you meeting, an address and time? I'll try to be there just to look and be sad that I cannot attend.
Thanks Roy

Sounds good Bud ,we'll meet yall in Knox @ 1300hrs. Oh 140cilx we are all driving the svo's (myself, kiwi, & SC-SVO).

Royv,

Here's the meeting point as indicated by Bud on page 1:

Here's the place and time for the convergence ...

I-75N at Exit #5 - Cracker Barrel - 10am Eastern Time

Look it up on Yahoo Maps ..

2346 Shallowford Village Dr
Chattanooga, TN 37421-6768

Get a bite of 'brunch' and head out by probably 11am ...

-come eat some breakfast with us! It's easy to find, as you cruise up I-75N you'll see the I-75 (Knoxville) & I-24 (Nashville) split, you stay on I-75 which is the right two lanes, after about 1.5 miles you'll see a humongous mall on the right of the freeway, you'll go under a large overpass (lot's of new highway construction in this area) and the Exit #5 is the next exit. You'll exit from the right lane offramp. Get into the left turn lane on the ramp, at the light take a left turn, cross over the bridge over I-75, get into the right lane, it's the 2nd light, take a right you'll see the huge Cracker Barrell sign. A breeze.

[royv]

Thanks for the information. Wish I could go to that breakfast. I'm trying to hookup around the North Atlanta area, the one around Wade Green road, where ever that may be. With the new job I cannot afford that much time off. Just trying to catch up with the start of the Atlanta/b'ham convoy, I just want to be the parade fan.

Really? I must admit, I've only seen a couple .. and I already knew the guys who were driving them. I'm over in L'ville quite a bit in my 85 SVO .. around Old Norcross Rd area
