Corvette Ed Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Due to my new job's need for me to work Saturday's for the foreseeable future I am working full time 6 days a week, but I will be free for the next 3 Sundays and would like to meet up with any ACE members who would like to participate in an impromptu meet-up. I'm new to Arizona as some of you know, and now that my car is finally fixed after more than $13k in damage I'd love to get out to show it off and meet some of my fellow Arizona Vette lovers. If anyone has any suggestions for a spot to meet up for either lunch or breakfast I'd be welcome to suggestions. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you!

JohnU Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hi Ed, In October, Phil's in Fountain Hills buzzes mid-day every Sunday. Us “snowbirds” will be back in force in November. http://www.philsfillingstationgrill.com/cruisin.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally spend Sunday with my best friend and her kids because this is the only day our mutual calendars match. We've been friends for 38 years, and do what we can to make sure we keep that friendship going as long as we're both still breathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When guests are visiting, I load up the minivan, visit Phil’s and watch the fountain shoot water and learn some local history. The fountain was built by a Mr. McCulloch (chainsaws) who also brought London Bridge to Lake Havasu. His wife’s maiden name was Briggs as in Briggs & Stratton motors. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_Hills,_Arizona#The_Fountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking forward to moving to Arizona for quite a few years now. I don't know anything about the area so I'm counting on all of you to help me out here.

Desertdawg Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Sundays have always been rough for meeting up. Your best bet is to plan a lunch, bring your friend and even the kids,(so your not lonely Incase no one else shows up) hopefully there’s a couple of ACEholes that can make it. Maybe your Saturdays will open up more this winter when more events are planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateFamilyofFun Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 You know I'm always open for a drive, especially after this past Saturday, I'm just itching for more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 You know if you look at Corvette Ed's profile he lives all the way out east in Apache Junction. I think since you guys bum-rushed his idea for a get together and are making him drive to Prescott all the way from New Mexico, I think you better at least buy him the burger! Hey Ed, since you are out east, the group usually does a MLK day drive out to Tortilla Flat. At least you'll get a little payback then since its a bit more in your backyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
