Hi all, was just wondering who all are going to attend this show. It will be my first AMPs show. Can anyone let me know which of the Hotels are nearest the Show? Thanks and Hope to see you there. milvehfan

If God, my health, and my wallet allow, I'll be taking the drive westward. Been told it's about a 9-10 hour drive from where I live. Well, I'm too old, and my back and other body parts will never allow for a straight drive through, so if I do make it it will be a more leisurely drive over a two day period out, and back, with maybe a little sight seeing along the way.

Hey all, I'll be there its only an hour from my house so it works good! This will be my first AMPS show as well so Im excited! Hope to see you all there.

tenatively myself and the 3rdPlacer are going...we have a few things we have to finish to make that happen though

I am planning on attending. Go to the AMPS website. It will have all of the information on hotels. Click on the International Show. You should find all of the information you need.
Thanks

Haha ya same here man!!

Count me and about another dozen AMPS-Chicagoland guys going...

BTW, the info at the amps site is here

I am excited about this one, never been to an AMPS show. My Hotel reservations are made/ Vacation on the books & I rejoined AMPS. Hopeing to meet some of you there. milvehfan

20 minutes from my front door. If I have to walk, I'm going.

Budget allowing... because IRC Keenan offered me a place to crash

hey Bob,
You won't have to walk I'll give you a ride.I'm about 20 min south right near North American.(sorry about not getting back to you from the earlier thread) any way looking foward to meeting folks & not being in a wheelchair like '08.

Thanks for the offer John. Truck lost compression so not sure what I'll do but I will be there. Over by N.A. on rt 30? That's where I used to park the tractor and trailer when in town, but not driving as am on the recoup from accident in 08. You where there in 08 in a wheel chair, hope your up and running now. Will see you there with the rest of the armorama guys. Maybe we ought to get some armorama t-shirts so we know who's who .

If I do manage to make it out I'll more than likely be in one of my Kitmaker network shirts

I will be there early and often, along with the usual suspects from the Fort Wayne crew. We'd better go, this one's in our backyard!

To anyone who has never gone, or is coming for the first time, this is a killer show! The Victory Museum is amazing - more than 150 vehicles displayed! Also, the venue for the show is huge, well lit and in the same building as the museum!

Besides, there are still 90 days - plenty of time to grab something off the shelf and enter it!

See you in Auburn.

I'm in. About a 3.5-4 hour drive from here so I'm still deciding on whether to stay over Friday night or just make a (long) day trip out of it on Saturday. If you enter models do you need to pay the walk-in fee? and do you also get into the museum with the walk-in fee. I think I'll be bringing a non-modeler with me.

As I discover my plans now may include a trip to Vegas that week............ UGH

Hi all, Hope to meet alot of you Armorama folks there. Jeepkid019 and myself will be hitting the road about midnight, so that we are there in time for breakfast...oopps, I mean set-up. LOL Hope the Auburn Days Inn is comfy. milvehfan

Good on ya Dave! I'd do the same but I shoulda left after St Patrick's Day!
Take some pics of the outrageous builds and scoundrels, then sample some of the local brewed dark beers(porter/Irish stouts?) Bill me when you get back!
Have fun!
Rick

I'm in Auburn!
I'll be heading down to the museum in the morning.

I planned on coming up on Thursday, but may decide to just haul ass early Friday morning. Cameras charged and wallets full o' cash.

Seems enough members are coming, good deal.
Remember to stop by and say hi---- and pose for a photo with the grumpy old fart. Maybe we can all get together sometime Saturday for a nice posed group shot.

Good to hear you made it guys. If you are in the fort wayne area and like your brews, check out a place called Munchies on Broadway. Small restraunt with it's own brewery. Have a good rep. for beers. Ican't make it till saturday but am looking forward to seeing all the armorama guys I get to talk to, and some of our local that Iv'e lost touch with.

I for one enjoyed my time there today; I got what I came for and then some. Not exactly too many bargains to be had, nonetheless the selection was astounding. HLJ had some awesome deals that couldn't be passed up.
The AFV M1132 is definitely a must buy when it's released this summer.
The blade assembly will test ones skills alone.
The WW2 museum was interesting, albeit I thought could've been a little more organized, but lots of pics were taken regardless.
The Auto museum was pretty cool too. That KR Mustang just doesn't need to be in there. That badboy needs some asphalt to hug!
For those that miss it this year, try and make the next one. Lots of talent and great models under one roof!
