Do these two look like they just got stopped by the Indiana State Police???? Well they did - and sweet talked their way out of a speeding ticket!!!
|
Nancy - next time you see one of these - you need to slow down!!
|
While on the road - where do you expect the CLC gang to eat? Where else but at the Hog Wild BBQ in Kentucky.
|
|
We hit a huge traffic jam ...................
|
................but finally made it to Bowling Green!
|
Great dinner at Mariah's in Bowling Green..........
|
......with our own Bar!!!!
|
On the Museum grounds - Corvettes everywhere - 3000 to 5000 of them!
|

Our side trip to Maker's Mark - what a great road trip

Party time with those crazy Aussies - talk about real Corvette Enthusiasts - WOW!

|
Or own nightly party - some of our CLC members really let their hair down!

Inside the museum - very interesting Corvette History and Technology display

This display is actually thousands of tiny corvette photos - see the detail above

Another dinner
You never get hungry on a Corvette Legends Club trip. |
The Beatles were there - well, not the real Beatles but these guys have been touring the world for 26 years playing 45 year old Beatles music!
|
If you missed the CLC gang 'dancing in the street' to Beatles music - well, it was a sight to see!! |
|
|
We finally had to say goodbye to Bowling Green and stopped by the assembly plant for some final photos

|
Rose's hats were treated with loving care throughout the trip.

If you missed this trip, I would highly recommend making the next one - or any long distance caravan with the CLC - Tom G.
