Registration is required to enter your car. You can download the registration form from their website. Google "Fabulous Fords Forever" and go to their website.

Good question, I'd like an answer on this as well.

Unless SlowSN95 is saying that even cars attending just the cruise need to be registered....

Thanks

The cruise is free.. there is no registration required, only the Blue Oval and a good attitude!


Hotels.. Your best bet is to get a small group of friends together and get a group rate at one of the hotels on the strip.. They will require one of you to give them your CC info to secure the rooms.

My question too. This will be my first year going. If those of you that have been before have some hotels you would reccomend and there is enough interest from other people trying to go, I'll do some homework on group rates so maybe we can all save a few bucks.

hell yes! I'm trying to make this cruise!!
 
Posted by 06ragtopgt_SOS (Member # 11327) on :
 
All right guys, I've gathered some contacts for area hotels. The main thing we need is a ballpark estimate for how many rooms we're after, once we get that I can start calling. I should note I am in no way an organizer of this cruise or event, just an enthusiastic participant trying to help out. If anyone wants to contact me, my cell is 916-295-7843.

When we went in 2010 me and 5 buddies got a sickass suite at the hotel right by the freeway on the Blvd, cant remember the name of the hotel tho. 2 Queen size beds, pull out on the couch, full bar, 3 flat screens for like 120 and we found it that Friday afternoon! Picked up some local chicks at a pizza joint and had a blast. Then woke up Hella fucked up and still did Saturdays coast cruise. Goodtimes! I'll be down there again this year [Big Grin]

Not everyone puts their car in the show, a lot just come out for the cruise down and the weekend events.

Shouod be alot of fun. This is looking like it might be one of the largest turnouts we have had on the Mile of Mustangs!
 
Posted by SLOWSN95 (Member # 8269) on :
 
The way this weather is looking so far.. this year's cruise should have an outstanding turnout! Last year was iffy due to the crappy, rainy weather.. but we still managed to get about 100 cars. Anybody who has never been on this cruise will be in awe when they see how many cars go. Best ride out of the year for sure! [patriot]

Ok thanks. Im thinking about it. My stang is "CAFORDS clean" but I dunno if good enough for the show. Thanks for the info can't wait [patriot]
 
Posted by sinisterblk (Member # 8425) on :
 
If you plan on attending and hanging out at the show, you might as well put it in, there are so many cars and trucks it really doesn't matter what it looks like and they dont really give out awards only for anniversary year stuff, plus you get a pretty decent goodie bag.
 
Posted by BuffMUSTANG (Member # 3180) on :
 
I just recieved an email to let me know that since i am not a member of 5.0 reasons car club i will not get the room at $89.00/night, it's now going to be $109.00 a night. Is there a special rate for ca fords or no?
 
Posted by WIKDVNM (Member # 2805) on :
 
I know our block of 30 rooms have been sold out and the hotel itself is close to being sold out. I would book a room and still try to contact some of the groups that have a block and see if there is any rooms left last min, the hotel can always transfer you to the discount rate.

I always do a fresh detail, and at every stop I use some quick detailer on the bumper and mirrors..you don't get the heavy build up of bugs and when you get to l.a. you have a clean car still

No one knows. This cruise gets larger every year. That's why we stress to be on time because every time line will be kept at each meeting location.

Is there anything official for saturday? If not I'm thinking of cruising up the pch to malibu to grab some grub at neptunes net . It's the restaurant right on pch from the first fast and furious where they pull in after they wax that f355 in the supra. I've been before and the food is really good and not expensive. Plus cruising the pch never sucks, if anyone wants to roll let me know

The group is going to Cars & Coffee and then the Shelby Reunion show. But Malibu sounds fun. I might join you.

Good point that was brought up on another site....

If for some small reason you have any doubt in your mind your car might possibly not make the trip... Call and get AAA premium member with the 100 mile tow...

No one has ever been left behind on this cruise but for some reason you need a tow the membership fee will of saved you some $$ and peace of mind.
