    We will save your goodie bag for you. Parking and the right t-shirt size will be your only hurdle.

    Once you park check in at the pre-registration tent near the clock tower.

    See you there.

    Which Bird are you bringing?

    Do we park first then go register? (not pre-registered).

    Or wait in line again, then go park?

    Can't wait...

    Everybody will park first then head over to the clock tower to register or "check in" if pre-registered.

    You can enter on Rock Island east of O'Connor. Or westbound Irving Blvd onto North Main or South Main.

    You can use 100 North Main (75060) as a reference point.

    This is gonna be The BigCat's first show and she's really excited. I cruised around a bit last weekend just to get ready, but Manifolds on Main will be her debut to the world. I'm pretty damn excited!! I took the car to Cabe at Service First Collision in Carrolton yesterday. They hit it with some 1500 and buffed it to a nice shine. I'm very pleased with the work they did.

    If I'm not pre-registered, what time should I be there to hopefully get a prime spot?? Thanks guys, I can't wait to get there and meet everyone

    Cool, can't wait to see it in person.

    Gates open at 11:00am and there are lots of good spaces to park. See you then.

    There are two places to eat breakfast close here in Irving.

    Big State Drug
    100 E Irving Blvd, Irving 75060

    Joe’s Coffee Shop
    425 W Irving Blvd, Irving 75060

    Big State is dead center to the car show & there is some street parking if you get here before we open the gates.

    Joe's is about a half mile west and has a large lot.

    Too cool Bart, I'm real excited. I just realized I didn't pre-register but I'll be there anyway. Going to be a great day. I'll be getting there early with Mike (aka Bob Dobolina) so let me know if you need a hand with anything last-minute at the show, I'll be glad to help out.

    Just a reminder to anyone who's interested, I'm gonna swing by Cars N Coffee at Classic BMW (Tollway and Spring Creek Pkwy) before I head out to Irving. It goes from 8 to 12. I was there a few months ago and it was pretty decent. Mostly high end new cars, but there were some classic gems hiding about. I'm hoping to bring some old school flair to the gathering!!
