    • Chalk it up to memory loss. It was 15 years ago. Hard to believe.

          Ours too but I don’t believe that we met. Around 100 cars as I recall. I’ll never forget the visit from Barney Fife.
          This was the first event for Barb & I except for the local Mid-Atlantic gatherings. It was a great, great vent. The hotel and venues were fantastic. We think of "Barney" each time we watch Andy Griffith.

                  Please post a few when you can. I think everyone would enjoy seeing them especially the newer members.

                    My first event & I’ll never forget winning the Borlas at the drive in night. Funny how I had a former member tell me I had better not sell the Borlas since I was new and a girl (yes he did ) well look who’s still here and still have the system installed.

                    An event I won’t forget - so much fun and led to meeting so many friends.

                    • This reminiscing is what I hoped this thread would accomplish. Let the stories continue.....

                      • Thunder Fever in 2005 was the very first really long-distance (2450 mile) TBN event that we drove to in our T-Bird. Had a GREAT TIME there!

                        We especially enjoyed "Barney Fife", Bristol Speedway and the T-Bird poker-run through the mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina.

                        We still have our picture from the Thunder Fever Sock Hop on our kitchen countertop.

                        Met a lot of fun people there, who are great friends to this day.

                        FUN TIMES!

                          Here's what Phil aka Fun X 3 did to his car for that week.

                          first his pic as we first saw it on the scene outside the track.

                          Then after the TBN decal was added to his hood.

                          and third, what his car looked like after we went around the track.

                              • Here's a piece that only a few folks got during Thunderbird DESTINation back in October 2002. I made these for the back window of the cars in our caravan with the color appropriate for each car. Even added the bra if I knew they were using one..

                                So my questions are these:

                                1) Do any of our caravan members besides us still have their card?

                                2) Name the caravan members.

                                3) Which of those caravan members still have their car?

                                4) Which of those members are no longer with us?
