Uconn Car Club 5th annual car show APRIL 19th

[hatchsub]

Just letting everyone know this is my College car club. Two years ago we had over 400 cars at the show. Last year the weather didnt cooperate so we only had 90 or so cars. Still a fun time though. Throwing this out for anyone in the new england area that is interested in showing up.

 

The UConn Car Club would like to invite you to be a part of our 5th Annual Spring Car Meet, on Saturday, April 19th, 2008. In the unfortunate event of rain, the show will be moved to Sunday, April 20th.
