SUNDAY JUNE 24TH Hy-Vee on Locust Street Dubuque GTG Thread!!

[iadubber]

Date: June 24th
Time: 11:30AM Hy-Vee parking lot off of HWY 61 on Locust Street.

UPDATE: My phone number is 563-543-7308 if you are running late or need to call for any reason. I'm sure we'll hang out at Hy-Vee for a good bit making sure everyone is there and accounted for.

We are meeting up at Hy-Vee in Dubuque and cruising up to Murphy Park. Bring your car all washed up or we could make a stop at the carwash to wash the cars. Whatever works!!!

The address for Hy-Vee is
400 S. Locust Street
Dubuque, IA 52003

We need to work out the details on what people are bringing. I think we need a grill up there. Or at least charcoal and lighter fluid to cook on the nasty provided grills. BYOB!

[dub1.8t]

I am up for any day, so long as it's after 3pm. Any sooner than that would require me getting the day off, which will be difficult the month of June. Will have a hard enough time getting the day off the Saturday of the rally... :mad:

[Newman]

After such a huge letdown in the first thread, it seems no one is interested...

[Gee Tea Eye V]

ill be at the beach

[Newman]

ill be at the beach

See? Nobody cares about Dubuque... :emo:

[OrangeDUB]

I'm down!!! Dubuque is less than an hour away for me, and would like to chill with some of you guys. Dubuque is cool too don't feel :emo:

:laugh:

[Gee Tea Eye V]

See? Nobody cares about Dubuque... :emo:

lol i dont even live in dubuque but id make the trip if i was around prolly

[cadwiz]

See? Nobody cares about Dubuque... :emo:

i care about star beer!!!! j/k the best way to do this is pick a day and month on the calender with nothing going on and set it. and ask everyone to come.

[Loccusst]

There is a car show on Father's day. Just pick a day and go for it....

[MurA1]

I'd be down for a cruise up to Dubuque and a GTG. I might even be able to convince my parents to let us use their yard (be worth a try) and then go out for a cruise through soemn twisty's! I know some goood ones!!!

[Gee Tea Eye V]

i heard theres some nice ones up that way

[iadubber]

Lets do it then. Is the weekend in the first post good for most people? I doubt Father's Day would work great for people.

[OrangeDUB]

Father's day = no go for me. Gotta chill with the papa and :beer: in the front yard

The first date is fine with me.... I was honestly a little dissapointed that the first Dubuque GTG was cancelled :( but nobody could come so whatever.

Hey, which way you DSM guys going there? I'm on the way, we could rally up there :D

[MurA1]

23/24 is not going to work for me the gf has made that trip once more than she'd like right now and she's coming that wknd. But anyhting else should work besides for the 2/3 as I will be in OH for the Scirocco GTG.

[Sinan]

any saturday works for me i guess.

[Newman]

23 or 24 works for me. Where, and what are we gonna do? We should have a WTFBBQ, but thats probably just because I'm hungry right now...

[iadubber]

we could go up eagle point park...grill out

[Kelso]

I have a hard time getting sat's off of work. But I will try to make as many as I can or if they run all day I dont mind catching up with everyone after im off work at 2. But I do have the 9th off.

[Newman]

we could go up eagle point park...grill out\

Yeah, why not. Couple of good spots up there for pics too...

[DSV]

Dubuque is about 200 miles from Des Moines. I would probably be down to drive out as long as my calendar is open.

[dub1.8t]

I'm there boys. Just set a date and time. :tu:
Because unfortunately, i regret to say that I will not be able to make the Rally. **** Hy-Vee!!! ClubDownforce I know your with me!!!!!!!

Dude, get somebody to work for you!!!!!!!!!!!

I always used to bribe people to give up their saturday for me back when I was a hy-vee'r. Or if they're underage tell them you'll buy them beer and they'll be all about it

j/k no I'm serious

[vwmeister]

Unfortunately, upper management has it's pitfalls... However the $$ and etc make up for the difference. ;)

[SirRangeALot]

23rd or 24th will work. I would prefer the 24th because I'm off work all day. I go into work on Saturdays at 3:30am... :eek: :eek:

EDIT: Mike, could you make this thread into a poll and give a choice between the 23rd and 24th?

Yeah we kinda need to get a poll going and get this figured out ASAP, just so that people have time to plan for it, which is why the last one failed...:word:

[DSV]

EDIT: Mike, could you make this thread into a poll and give a choice between the 23rd and 24th?

Done.

[850 T-5]

I got the first vote!! Actually I don't care which day, I'll be there regardless. I haven't been to Dubuque in months.

[iadubber]

I'm shooting for 24th but I can do either day :)

[berserker]

Sundays.. I work on almost all Saturdays.

[OrangeDUB]

Either day, I'll be there with all you pimps and ladies

[turboA4]

ill be at the beach


lol i dont even live in dubuque but id make the trip if i was around prolly


x2 for both....i wish i could come tho!


EDIT: btw...i voted for sunday because i wanted to see the results...so sundays count is off by one...:D:D

[SirRangeALot]

I voted for Sunday but could do either day.

[vwmeister]

The 24th works for me. We will be coming home from TX on the 23rd.:tu:

Do it on a sat. that way some of us central ia peeps can come.....:D :tu:

[iadubber]

Do it on a sat. that way some of us central ia peeps can come.....:D :tu:

We'll see, but for DBQ people it's leaning toward Sunday. I'd like to have as many local people out as possible. I finally got some cards so I can start sniping people around town that I see. :)

[dub1.8t]

Hey man, if you need some help, there's a mk III Jetta and an Audi a4 parked on my block all the time, every now and then a MK IV Gti vr6. All on one block, it's weird. Go down Heeb St. past the corner of Main and Clarke. Or just get me some cards too!!!

[SirRangeALot]

Do it on a sat. that way some of us central ia peeps can come.....:D :tu:

That's why there's a poll so you can vote on which day you want. ;)

[SirRangeALot]

Or just get me some cards too!!!

PM DerSubtileVento...he'll send you out some.

[DSV]

It looks like the votes are split between the two days.

[SirRangeALot]

It looks like the votes are split between the two days.

...for now. :D

[Newman]

Haha, either day is good. I took them both off, and if I am supposed to work, I'm not going. I'm more concerned with what times, what we are going to do, etc... :finger:

[SirRangeALot]

I have to work Saturday 3:30am to around 1pm... :knockout:

But, I will make it only if it doesn't get canceled at the last minute... ;)

Course, it was sheer luck that it was canceled the last time since my W8 was down for a week (coil was being shipped from Germany).

[iadubber]

Haha, either day is good. I took them both off, and if I am supposed to work, I'm not going. I'm more concerned with what times, what we are going to do, etc... :finger:

Get your a$$ thinking about it! I have no idea what we should do. Cook out?

[SirRangeALot]

I think an idea from the last GTG was to go up to Eagle Point and cook out. Weather pending, that might be really nice.

[iadubber]

Do we have to pay anything besides the $1 to get in to use the park?

[S13FREEAAK]

Nope, just the dollar to get in. I'd be up for Sunday, I'll be at Road America on Saturday.

[iadubber]

Maybe you'll have a dub by then :)

[S13FREEAAK]

That is the plan.

[dub1.8t]

Sunday. Grilling out at Eagle point sounds like an awesome way to spend a sunday afternoon. If we get enough people, to where we would need/want a shelter it's only like 10 bucks.

[Newman]

Sunday. Grilling out at Eagle point sounds like an awesome way to spend a sunday afternoon. If we get enough people, to where we would need/want a shelter it's only like 10 bucks.

Food, beer, volkswagens, pictures. I'm stoked. And I think we should get a shelter for sure, especially if its only 10 bucks. For 10 whole dollars, I think I could cover it, even on Hyvee's ****ty pay.

Food. God I'm so hungry right now. Who's bringing what?

P.S. Oooh!! And I'm uber stoked. I ordered Vmaxx's today!!! Should have them in a couple days, can't wait to be slammed...

[S13FREEAAK]

I want steak, or just brats will do. How many people are going? I can cover the brats/burgers/buns, just let me know how many.

And we should get a pavilion with the messed up weather we have been having lately.

[iadubber]

Who do we contact for a pavilion? Who is brining the grill or are we using those ****ty grills they have?

We also should decide on a day ASAP. I'm thinking sunday is the better for the locals so should we call it?



P.S. Oooh!! And I'm uber stoked. I ordered Vmaxx's today!!! Should have them in a couple days, can't wait to be slammed...

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see them! Since I'm keeping the mark4 I might get some! I want to see how they ride

[S13FREEAAK]

I think we should do Sunday.

My mom has rented the pavilions before, so I'll talk to her tonight and find out who to talk to.



Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see them! Since I'm keeping the mark4 I might get some! I want to see how they ride

I'm glad your keeping the mark4, its ballin'.

[DSV]

Since I'm keeping the mark4 I might get some! I want to see how they ride

Since when did this happen? Did you sell the Mk3?

[S13FREEAAK]

Since when did this happen? Did you sell the Mk3?

I'm buying the mk3.

[iadubber]

I'm buying the mk3.

Hopefully! I hope the oil pump is in today!!! I got the pump shaft from Kleiner yesterday.


Since when did this happen? Did you sell the Mk3?

After crunching the numbers with my bank lady I decided to keep it and sell the MK3. I'll get another one someday. But I weighed the price to fix the small smoking problem with just keeping and an driving it. I figured that'd be best for now. The car has been for sale forever with no buyers, so what the hell.

[DSV]

I'm buying the mk3.


Hopefully! I hope the oil pump is in today!!! I got the pump shaft from Kleiner yesterday.

Congrats, Chad! Glad to hear you have found a buyer. :tu:

[iadubber]

Well, Sunday there is a hitch for me. I have to play volleyball at bowling and beyond at 5pm. So if we started earlier than 1 or 2 we should be fine, and if you want to come down and route on our team you are welcome. And drink pitchers of beer, make sure you say Team 2 when you buy! If we drink the most pitchers we get a free keg at the end of the season!!!

[Newman]

We need to get a running list of the people that are going to be there, since we have finally decided on a day. That way we know how much food etc we have to get.

I don't think it's "official." I mean as of now, Saturday seems to be winning the poll but it sounds like Sunday works for most people...?

[iadubber]

I don't think it's "official." I mean as of now, Saturday seems to be winning the poll but it sounds like Sunday works for most people...?

No, Saturday works for out of town people. Sunday works for the locals. But like I said, I have volleyball at 5 down at bowling and beyond. We could move the GTG there if you want at that time. I think we should do Sunday myself so more of the locals can come.

Voting for Saturday is like this:
850 T-5, AdiB, chuNknorris, CMWSR, GetAwayFromMe, IaR32, OrangeDUB, sickmk3gti, Sinan

Voting for Sunday is like this:
1FastB5, dub1.8t, iadubber, S13FREEAAK, SirRangeALot, turboA4, vwmeister, wallride

Newman, make a vote!! :)

Done. And check your PM. If possible, I need your help tomorrow...

[S13FREEAAK]

Well I'd prefer Sunday since I would be able to go.

But either way, let me know which day, I'll call and reserve a pavillion. Which pavillion do we want? Or me and Newman will go through and pick one out.

I have no idea what each pavilion is. All three of us should run up and check them out and see what's available for that day.

[S13FREEAAK]

Sounds good to me, I'm pretty much available whenever.

Me too guys! Let me know if you need any help. I can get the buns, seeing how I do work in a bakery and all...

[OrangeDUB]

Isn't that the same weekend as dubs in the valley?

I plan on going to that and may stop by on the way back but I know it wouldn't be until night time when I'd be swinging through there...

[850 T-5]

I'm still down. It didn't really matter on the day, I'm always game for DBQ. I should (better) have my car back by then.

Sounds Great!

[IaR32]

I change my vote for sunday now and I'll be there. What time and where at?I think all the QC people should convoy up. How does homedeopt parking lot sound?

[S13FREEAAK]

I change my vote for sunday now and I'll be there. What time and where at?I think all the QC people should convoy up. How does homedeopt parking lot sound?

I don't know the time, but it sounds like it will be at Eagle Point Park. We haven't decided on a pavilion yet, but that should be done shortly.

[iadubber]

I doubt people will find Eagle Point easily. So I think we should meet up at around 1130 or 12 at Wal-Mart or Lowes. Then we'll convoy down.

[S13FREEAAK]

That works, I guess Eagle Point would be hard for out of towners to find.

I'm getting kind of excited, should have a few parts for the gti by then also.

[850 T-5]

I up for meeting at home depot in the QC for a convoy.

[iadubber]

That works, I guess Eagle Point would be hard for out of towners to find.

I'm getting kind of excited, should have a few parts for the gti by then also.

What are you getting?

[S13FREEAAK]

I have another set of BBS's coming, euro intake manifold, chip, smoked taillights, camber kits, some euro textured molding, and flairs for later.

Thats it for alittle bit, I need to get spacers, and I'll make a skid plate and exhaust pretty soon.

[zeshkani]

Come on ladies, I know a few more of you want to come see just how cool Dubuque actually is...

Still need to decide on a pavilion also. We need to get together, figure out whats available.

[iadubber]

We need to go up to eagle soon!! Or call and see what's available. I'll call monday and see what's available. When do you want to go up and look?

[S13FREEAAK]

I'm free to go this weekend.

Eagle View isn't avaiable, I know that much.

[SirRangeALot]

Bump for a wish of a clear, cool, sunny day for Sunday!! :tu:

[Newman]

This weekend sometime would be fine with me. Other than a coilover and spacer install, and some work, I've got nothing going on.


Bump for a wish of a clear, cool, sunny day for Sunday!! :tu:

Ha! Wishful thinking my friend. My money is on hot as hell, and muggy as a mofo. But it's cool... We got brats!!!11!!! :D

[iadubber]

Ha! Wishful thinking my friend. My money is on hot as hell, and muggy as a mofo. But it's cool... We got brats!!!11!!! :D

Do we have a grill or are we just using the park grills?

[SirRangeALot]

My money is on hot as hell, and muggy as a mofo. But it's cool... We got brats!!!!!! :D

Not a big fan of brats, unless they're smothered in 'kraut!!

I take it we all are bringing a dish to pass?

Weather.com says 90 degrees, sunny, and 55% humidity. But a lot can happen in over a week. Looks like I'll be wearing a basketball jersey to keep cool and to rid myself of this stupid farmer's tan! :mad:

[dub1.8t]

I can't help with the grilling situation... grill I have is about big enough for 2. So not much good to us. But like SirRangeALot said, everyone bringing a little something would be cool. That way no one gets stuck doing all the work/spending. Like I said before, i can bring the buns. Just let me know how much meat we will be having, assuming just brats and burgers, and I can bring what we need to cover that. Maybe 2 or 3 throw down for the meat - since it's a little pricier. And BYOB...??? Since I am sure no one wants to support my (our) drinking habbit... JK :D

[850 T-5]

We should probably start an "I'm bringing list". I'll bring the sauerkraut (does sound good) and some baked beans.

[iadubber]

Brats are so hard to cook when you are out. They take forever, but whatever you guys want :). I'll be bringing some beef ball parks, ketchup, mustard, relish. Monday when we go up we'll check out the park grills and see how gross they are. Someone will need to bring charcoal and lighter fluid. If the grills suck, I may pick up a cheap round weber or something like that.

[850 T-5]

We've got a decent sized weber, so if it comes to that we can just bring ours

[iadubber]

We'll see after tomorrow! :)

[SirRangeALot]

I'll be bringing some beef ball parks

Cheese hot dogs FTW!!! :D

I'm not sure what I'll bring yet...maybe I'll get some of that awesome Oreo dessert mousse from Hy-Vee... :)

Or I might make some Snicker dessert salad...

Mmm...I'm getting hungry...lol

Do you want to go up with me S13FREEAAK, ClubDownforce to look at the pavilons this week? We have to find out which ones are open first if any. What are we going to do if they are all taken?

[SirRangeALot]

Do you want to go up with me S13FREEAAK, ClubDownforce to look at the pavilons this week? We have to find out which ones are open first if any. What are we going to do if they are all taken?

Sure, it depends on what time though. Anytime after 6pm is good for me, although one evening this week I might be heading to Chi-town.

If they're all taken...I guess we'll have to rough it and find a nice shaded area! :D But I'm optimistic we'll nab one. It's not like it's a holiday weekend, plus not many people will want to be hanging out in 90 degree+ weather.

[iadubber]

Ok, here is where we sit. There isn't much open for Sunday at Eagle Point park. Here are the pavilons that are, so we can go check them out. I think we need to decide tonight or tomorrow before they are all gone.

Bridge Annex South
South Veranda
Tri-State View

Who's going up tonight? I'll pay for it as long as somebody is bringing charcoal and lighter fluid :)

[S13FREEAAK]

Newman works till 8 so he can't go until after that. I'm not sure what time I'll be available but it work be till atleast 7 tonight.

I'm trying to remeber which pavilions those are.

Yeah, if you can remember I will just get one. We need a decent parking lot at least. Do you mean you work until 7? I don't understand you last sentence! :)

[S13FREEAAK]

Woah don't know how I typed that. I have some things to do after work, so I'm not available till atleast 7 tonight.

sweet, well, if you can, get ahold of newman and we'll go at 8. I'll meet you guys somewhere. One of you call me, I'll check this thread too tonight. later

OK, I'll give you a call.

[iadubber]

OK, I'll give you a call.

Well, I didn't hear from you lastnight. So, today I am running down and checking them out and picking one myself. We don't need anything fantastic. Just a place to grill and park cars. I'll let you know which one I pick.

[S13FREEAAK]

Yeah I was going to call you but I was in St. Donaedus most of the night and it was ****ty out.

Yeah we just need something.

[iadubber]

Little problem. The only decent of the three pavilions that were open is taken, Tri-State View. The only ones left are South Veranda which has no view, and Bridge Annex South which also has no view. Should we scrap the park and find somewhere else? I know it's damn short notice too. We should have been on the ball. I would just have it at my house but there is no parking whatsoever. Any Ideas! We're running out if time!!! We could head to Finley Beach or something.

[S13FREEAAK]

We could have it there, or we could just throw a few of the tables together at some random spot in the park.

[iadubber]

Eagle? I think Finley's would be sweet. The drive up is nice and we could go swimming if we wanted. I'm going to call Finley's to see if we can just set up wherever without having to pay.

[S13FREEAAK]

Yeah that would be kind of cool. I'm down.

[iadubber]

I left the park ranger a message with my questions. We'll see if he calls back. I think we will be fine and my coworker said that there shouldn't be a park fee to get in and there are tons of pavilions there. I may swing up there after work to scope it out.

Thanks! Updated first post!

Ok, I took a drive to Finley's Landing. I don't know how good it will work. Gravel and hardly any parking. I guess we are stuck with just finding a spot at Eagle point park to squat at for awhile. I guess there is a little park on the end of Cleveland St. that I am going to check out tomorrow.

[SirRangeALot]

What about Swiss Valley Park?

Whatever works man. You think it will work out? Can you check on it?

The one at the end of clevland isn't anything worth going to plus. Plus the two roads going there are terrible.

****! We better figure something out quick. I guess if all else fails we still can go to eagle.

[S13FREEAAK]

Swiss Valley would be alright also. But it'd be easy to just throw some tables together at Eagle Point.

[IaR32]

every one could just bring a lawn chair and we could set up some where as long as there is a grill. I'll bring the lighter and lighter fluid, fire is my specialty afterall. so we are meeting at 1130 at lowes if i'm not mistaken, qc people we will meet up at 1015 at homedepot and roll out at 1030. sound good to every one?

Murphy Park may also be good...

All I know is we better decide on something TODAY. I won't be able to check on anything; I won't be back from Chicago until after 1am.

Maybe we should just stick with Eagle Pt., have a few DBQ guys go before the meeting time and hold off a decent spot for the rest of us until everyone gets there.

yeah or murphy park?:tu:
babes on grandview to cruise by?

And I can walk home from Murphy Park :D

[iadubber]

They got grills?

[S13FREEAAK]

Yes I believe they do. If not my house is like a block away and I have a round weber I could probably get up there.

True True! Eagle does have grills too. I think Murphy would be fine though. Let's do it.

[S13FREEAAK]

Murphy Park it is?

[Newman]

Murphy park, pull some hoars from Grandview, eat some food, do some burnouts and cruising...

Sounds good to me.

You assholes have any suggestion on what I should bring?

EDIT: I really don't want to have to be the asshole that brings the chips. I'll think of something...

You are an asshole!! :) J/K But we do need chips or something to go with burgers and snot dogs.

[SirRangeALot]

Not really, dickwad.

:p

[SirRangeALot]

Oh, and instead of having the Davenport gang come all the way to Lowe's then all the way back to Murphy Park, shoud we have them meet somewhere closer? Hy-Vee's parking lot perhaps?

[iadubber]

the locust hyvee or what. I mean we only have 3 of them LOL

[S13FREEAAK]

The Locust one would be smart since its right of 61.

[iadubber]

Sounds good. Updating the first post.

[DubWalkn]

I'm going to try and make it up...but it depends on whether my TBE gets here Friday or Saturday...so put me down for a maybe

[AdiB]

I'll be there! I'll bring the grill just in case we dont have one there, and I'll prolly bring some food and drinks too (hot dogs, buns, soda).

[AdiB]

Can someone please post a map where we'r meeting? Or give directions?
Thanks

[iadubber]

Check first post AdiB, I updated it with mapquest and address.

Awww, Chad beat me to it.

[Newman]

Alright God dammit, mark me down as the chip guy...

[iadubber]

Looks like I won't have my 3" back on by then because ECS is slower than sh!t this week. I ordered a bunch of **** that was in stock Tuesday morning and it won't ship until today. Bummer. I ordered lower grills since mine were jacked and a few other things I needed for the exhaust hanging.

[dub1.8t]

I think vwmeister is planning on making it too. He's in Texas this week though so I don't think he is logging on. I guess just keep the list updated so I know how many buns to bring. Also maybe an approximate count on the burgers/brats/dogs situation would be great. Sweet dude, I'm getting pumped for this!

[iadubber]

I'm bringing 10 hot dogs

[S13FREEAAK]

I'll bring 10 burgers.

Someone needs to bring the ketchup.

[iadubber]

Read the first post!!! :) I'm bringing plates, ket., must., relish and hot dogs :)

Reading comprehension owns me.

So now that we got that taken care of. I want cookies also. :dance:

I can bake some premade chocolate chunk cookies saturday :) Spoon and bake those muthas!!

[SirRangeALot]

Well, I was wrong about you.

I thought you were actually smart enough to figure out which Hy-Vee was closest to Murphy Park.

I stand corrected. :p :) ;) :D :finger:

[iadubber]

^asshole^ :) I saw you the other day after the fact you went by! It was you wasn't it? In the big white panel truck?

[SirRangeALot]

Yes sir! :tu:

[850 T-5]

So who's all meeting in D-port tomorrow morning?

[iadubber]

wallride, IaR32, and you as far as I know. Not sure if OrangeDub is still coming or not.

[dub1.8t]

Alright boys and girls... weather looks good! I have to work tomorrow but am going in at 3am... (tonight) in order to be off for this shin dig. If I am not off by 11:30, which there is definitely a possibility, I will just meet you guys out in the parking lot and hand off the buns to someone else. Cool?? SO I will be looking for everyone. The latest I will be there is noon, cuz I will just straight up walk out of that f-ing place at 11:59. :beerglass:

[iadubber]

Looks good man. We'll see you tomorrow. I spent 6 hours reworking my exhaust today, claybaring it, waxing it and cleaning it up. It's still not up to par. I haven't decided if I am leaving the OEM VW carriers off or putting them on yet.

[SirRangeALot]

I spent 6 hours reworking my exhaust today, claybaring it, waxing it and cleaning it up.

I wanted to detail mine, but with my luck as soon as I'd get done washing it, the rain would come. So I'm just getting up early tomorrow and giving the W8 a couple of coats of Ice. :cool:

[dub1.8t]

My Dub won't be anything special, so don't feel bad. Will probably take it through the car wash at Hy-Vee before I leave work, see if I can't get all the bugs off it at least, that's about all the attention she gets from me...:emo: I still love her even though she is a dirty little...

[iadubber]

Can we get a for sure confirmation from people in Davenport that are going?

[IaR32]

i'm in

[SirRangeALot]

I'm bringing 10 hot dogs


I'll bring 10 burgers.

Is 10 going to be enough?!? I can pitch in if need be.

[Newman]

I bought 16 smoked sausage and 16 hot dogs. I think we have enough now. Could probably use some extra buns though...

[850 T-5]

I'll be there with the old lady

[SirRangeALot]

Yeah, I'm bringing my other half too.

[iadubber]

I'll be alone :twisted: the other half is taking my son to the pool.

[iadubber]

Ready, Set, Roll! I just talked to aka.beave and his car is up and driveable. This is going to be a good day. I request an .:R32 ride though :) Never been in one before!

[1FastB5]

i'm tempted to drive out but oooh thats a long drive, dunno if i can make it in time since i just got up - haha

[iadubber]

i'm tempted to drive out but oooh thats a long drive, dunno if i can make it in time since i just got up - haha

haha, drive fast!!

[1FastB5]

i wouldn't get there till a little after noon....

170 miles, it'd take me 2 1/2 hours or more even at 80 mph :emo:

[1FastB5]

if you could wait till noon i could prolly make it :D

[SirRangeALot]

if you could wait till noon i could prolly make it :D

C'mon out TJ -- I'll let you drive the W8! :D

Honestly, I don't think we'll be leaving Hy-Vee until after noon...by the time everyone else shows up, I'm sure you could make it! :tu:

[iadubber]

TJ called me, he's on his way. We'll wait for him.

[S13FREEAAK]

Cool. I'm awake now. I'll be down there alittle early, I need to spray off the outside of the car.

[turboA4]

hmmmm....this is today....hmmm....dont think its gunna happen....just drove through there tho....at like 5am...:D:D

[S13FREEAAK]

hmmmm....this is today....hmmm....dont think its gunna happen....just drove through there tho....at like 5am...:D:D

You shoulda stopped and said hi. I think I was still up.

[turboA4]

haha...damn....me and jake were there....altho i dont know how awake we were....we had been driving since 10am the day before.....damn 24 hour drives from north carolina...:(

[SirRangeALot]

I just got back...I just wanted to say that the gf I had a BLAST today. It was great meeting everyone in person and I can't wait for the pics to come in! I will try to get mine up tonight sometime. :tu:

[AdiB]

I also want to say my gf and I had a great time. Thank you guys for a good barbecue and can't wait to see those pics!

[iadubber]

I won't have mine up until tomorrow. Thanks for everyone who came, it was a good time, besides the residential cruising. :)

[S13FREEAAK]

I had fun also. It was nice meeting some of you guys on here. I'm working on getting some of my pictures up now.

[Newman]

Pretty good time guys, although next time we need more food.

[SirRangeALot]

More planning out wouldn't hurt either ;) Oh well, it was still a good time...even a bitchy park nark couldn't ruin our day, it just made it better by making sh!t out of her! :D :D

[Newman]

Yeah, it was a little bit of a cluster****, but the next one should (will) be much better.
