I know John Spina is coming again and I think he has some of the Chicago guys lined up. His e-mail is GNVENOM@aol.com.

Round them up!

Ps...your not John are you?

DV,
No I am not John Spina.
I am the "other guy" with a 3.8 turbo snake.
Although John And I know each other,
We run into each other at local cruises here in Chicagoland.

Actually, I was at Spring fling last year.
Maybe you remember, I broke down on the way to the drag strip.
That was just after the BIG RAIN STORM !!
You asked Gary to trailer the car to your shop, after we got rained out at the strip.
For which I am still VERY grateful.

Hope to see you there this year!

p.s.
I am also the one who wound up with the U-Coat-It from the auction. Have not applied it yet.
Had a new 3 car garage put up and waiting for it to get a bit warmer.

Looking forward to another great event !

Thanks again,
Arcenio Sainas
(snake oil, the other guy)

"the Other guy"

Ahh-HA!
The Mrs. and I were just wondering if the "recipricant" of the "U-coatit" paint had applied it yet.

How about taking pictures of the before and after and then give us a full report of your thoughts!

Good to talk to you again! By all means, get ahold of John and see if you guys can't raise a caravan of Chicagon's!

See you in June.

DV,
Hopefully we can muster some of the cobras here in Chicago.

I remember you asking me for a report when I got it.
(The U-Coat-it)
After you folks were so kind as to help us out,
of course, I would be more than happy to give you a full report !
With pictures of course.

Talk soon,

Arcenio (snake oil)

Every year I hear of some one starting a new chicago area cobra group. last year I got a list of some 20 men for the north side and have not heard any thing since. Good luck with this latest try.
The Spring Fling is a do not miss event! We had a great time last year. I'll be staying at the Hampton this year and plan to be heading south on I 65 around 8am, early lunch in Indy and checking in the Hampton around 2pm. I enjoy driving my raodster so I'll leave the trailer in the drive. I drive the green FFR with the white across the nose. Rich

Hey guys, I would love to put up something on www.windycitycobras.com for the Spring Fling and maybe a convoy schedule. Anybody care to draft something up?

Jeff Frigo · #10 (**permalink**) 03-02-2002, 06:10 AM

I'm going. Got reservations at the Hampton. Lets all go together, e-mail me and let me know.

snake oil · #11 (**permalink**) 03-05-2002, 05:54 PM

hey jeff,
and anyone else thinking of a caravan to the fling!
I'm thinking bout leaving on friday morning.
round about 8:00-8:30 after traffic dies down a little bit.
We live a couple of blocks off the kennedy @ addisson exit.
There is also a huge KMart parking lot located aprox. 150 ft off the kennedy @ addisson. Maybe we can all meet there?
What side of town are you located?

Rich1172 · #14 (**permalink**) 03-14-2002, 02:44 PM

hey snake oil? i used to live over there years ago. I think we meet at columbus last year. We should realy think about moving out before the rush, say leave k mart at 6:30 sharp and pull in to columbus early afternoon, we can talk more at the meeting this month. Rich

Hey Rich,

I beleive we met at Mark's house in Wheeling last year.
Weren't you the one with the Viper ?
Anyway that time is fine with me.

So, the Addisson Kmart is the place to meet , Right?

Why don't we plan on it, and see if we can't
get a couple more people?

Are you trailering or driving it ?
