FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Unfortunately, Noah's Deli has been closed since an uninsured motorist crashed into the building in November, causing serious damage. The owner says she intends to reopen.

On Michigan Ave there used to be a place called Noah's Deli and was not too far from the host hotel going east towards town. It was a fun place where to locals gathered. The counter was "U" shaped and the waitresses stayed in the middle and waited on the customers. I think it there since the 30's. It was there in 2008 but who knows if it still exists now. We had lunch there almost every day when we went to the '08 GN.

Recently I inquired what restaurants close to the Grand National Meet would be a good choice to eat at.

Three EFV8 Club members who know the area say:

Ford's Garage, 21367 Michigan Ave

Andiamo's italian restaurant, 21400 Michigan Ave (across the street from Ford's Garage)

Guilio & Sons, 600 Town Center Drive (steaks, seafood and italian)

Sign Of The Beef Carver, 23100 Michigan Ave (just east of Outer Drive)

Miller's Bar, 23700 Michigan Ave (good burgers)

Hard to believe it's only 90 days till check-in on June 11th .................

Jim,
I also wrote to our Regional Group here in NC and got no response.
It's a big group at the National level, but the number who go to National Meets and National Tours is a very small percentage.
A lot of show cars are not driven much and the Touring gang would rather drive than Show, so the numbers get smaller. I 've done 30 national tours with AACA, VMCCA and 11 Greatraces. One National Show. All in 4 different 1934 Fords, only one of which was a real Show car.
We have teamed up with another couple to each tow our 34 & 35 Ford Fordors to the EFV8 National Show with our motorhomes. We intend to stay for the Motor Muster at Greenfield Village and also visit the Early Ford V8 Foundation Museum and maybe Auburn too.
The planned activities at the V8 Grand National make it much more than a Car Show. We'll be staying 19 miles from the host hotel and will get to do plenty of driving in the Detroit area in our Early Ford V8's.

Jim, Try contacting the Regional Groups near you to find out about groups traveling together. Check both Maryland and Virginia for people near the DC area.

It will give you a good chance to know the people that you will be traveling with and find out if you want to join the Regional Group. Use the Regional Group Directory in the left hand banner of this page to find the contact information.

I searched and did not see a discussion. Anyone from the DC area going? Feel free to add requests from other areas too.
