NICKEY CRUISE NIGHT 6/19/03

[hvychev]

For all the Chicago area members. There is a cruise night in Crystal Lake tomorrow night that some of us here have known about for a while. (I don't know why any of us mentioned it earlier) It should be a rare oportunity to see what Tom Stefani said would be 8 Nickey cars at one spot. I think that I will be there and I know that ChrisS from Hobart IN will be there and I am sure that Mike G (sixtiesmuscle) will have a car or two there. Any other members planning to attend? Stefano? Rick P? Darren C? Belair62? etc.

I will be the big tall dude with a white Nickey t-shirt on. I will have my digital camera and will post pics if I make it.

Here are the details.

Hi All,
For those of you who don't already know, there will be a cruise night here in Crystal Lake featuring some of the cars of Nickey Chevrolet. It will be on June 19th from 6 - 9pm in downtown Crystal Lake. We will have at least 8 Nickey cars and they have set aside a special area for us just north of Home State Bank on Grant St. Hope to see all of you there.

Crystal Lake not Grays Lake . Just so no one goes to the wrong town /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

OOOPPS! I changed my original post. Hell Cryatal Lake, Greys Lake what's the difference. All I know is that once I go that far from my hood I get a nose bleed! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Whoa. Glad I caught this. Might just have to drive there from work though. I am out here already. Don't know if I would have time to go home and get the car. Wish I would have brought it to work today...

[hvychev]

The show as great except for the 101 mile trip back home! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif What I do for my passion........... Hung out with ChrisS, DarrenX33, saw sixtiesmuscle(see attachment) and his beauties, Chris B (the current owner of the X Stefano 2002 Nickey tribute ZL1), and of course Mr. Tom Stefani. I can't believe that I didn't get any pictures of his road race car! Their was just so many people around it. He started it a couple of times and WOW what a sound!

Another Nickey Camaro. Forgot the guys name... BTW sixties why is there a Nickey car out there that you don't own! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[hvychev]

God do I wish I owned a Camaro just so I could set it up just like this.......

[hvychev]

Tom Stefani had a cool display complete with vintage pics.

[hvychev]

Here is one with him in front of his girlfriends (now wife's) 69 Camaro SS.

[hvychev]

Do you guys believe that the darn owner of Nickey Chevrolet of all places didn't even give his son a car to drive! Tom told me that he had to go out and buy a used Volkswagon! He said that the next best thing was to find a hot girl with a hot Camaro purchased brand new through Nickey Chevrolet. Notice the steelies!

[hvychev]

One more shot of the Camaro.

[hvychev]

Dthere was even a Yenko on hand. Dru Diesner showed up in his Yenko Camaro. This is how a Camaro should look IMO! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif That is from to much of this... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[hvychev]

A yenko just crusing the streets like it is 1969 all over again. You guys should hear this car. That is how it should be done. The owner has FUN with it!

[hvychev]

A Nickey just crusing. No trailers here! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[hvychev]

One last vintage pic for us Chevelle lovers. Tom said that it was a 71?

[Jeff Murphy]

Good shootin', Frank!

Any more pictures of Mrs. Stephani? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif (no offense Tom!)

I don't understand, what is this concept, "too much"?

I'd say that if Tom was forced into going out to find a girl with a Camaro, and wound up with that beautiful young lady, his father did him a huge favor! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Sorry I missed out on the festivities last night. Woulda been a nice way to celebrate my birthday.

Happy belated Bill! I knew there was a reason for me having a drink last night, I just couldn't put my finger on it.
