QC Cruise

[STÖDER]

lets get a qc cruise gtg

something that would go from il to iowa or iowa to il

just want to get one more thing in before christmas

[SDKmann]

Depending on when it is and whats going on Im definitely down.

[STÖDER]

just need some open dates for everyone

[SDKmann]

I couldnt tell ya so just have the other guys chime in on dates and Ill do whatever.

[MrFlippant]

Before Christmas? You realize Christmas is one week from today, right?

[SDKmann]

You obviously dont know how the QC guys roll. We are intense.

[STÖDER]

thats right sdk you get him

[MrFlippant]

Ha nice; well if I could get time off I'd probably join you guys, but as is I'm lucky to get Chirstmas Day off.

Science Center of Iowa = Ebeneezer Scrooge McDuck

[STÖDER]

we could also do this after christmas as well
this is just an idea
i just want to do a cruise and not just sit there

[SDKmann]

After Christmas would probably be a more likely scenario.

[Saab900CE]

How about the weekend after Christmas? I'll cruise with you guys but there's no way that it'll be in my Saab. So if you don't mind the Turbo Rescue Vehicle in the cruise then I'll definitly be there. :drive:

[SDKmann]

Any idea where the cruise will start and where we'll end up?

[Saab900CE]

We could go up to Galena, IL on the IL side of the river and then go up into Dubuque and then make our way back down to the QC. I heard that the roads going to Galena are awesome.

[SDKmann]

Im up for it :tu:

[STÖDER]

im down

[SDKmann]

Lets set a date on this. Any ideas?

Let me know when a date is made for this. I might meet up with you guys and we could stop at Buffalo Wild Wings for a mid-trip meal. :D

Wow, great idea. This could end up being a sweet cruise. BWW FTW!

[SirRangeALot]

:word:

Just got back from there a few hours ago.... :hungry:

[bmw528i_]

Im down, let me know.

[SDKmann]

Shweet! We might want to wait a little bit if this gets somewhat official. If these roads Jordan is talking about are fun then we might want to wait until we can drive in a sporting fashion.

[SirRangeALot]

Shweet! We might want to wait a little bit if this gets somewhat official.

Pfft. If we wait as long as the arrangements for the Tint GTG II, we're fuct. :D

Yeah, it'll happen. Fall 2008...BE THERE!

[SDKmann]

Youll get your tint Jeremy, dont worry. Anthony was talking about it last night he wants to get it done too.

[SirRangeALot]

Oh, I have my tint. I got mine done at the first tint GTG. I was just going to show up to hang out. :tu:

[SDKmann]

Well get down here! I think there are people over at Anthony's place daily now.

[SirRangeALot]

Well get down here! I think there are people over at Anthony's place daily now.

I've been seriously trying but everytime I want to come down there's a huge snow storm that f*cks up my plans. :sly:

[SDKmann]

You have AWD dont ya? Hell, if Ill go out in my lightweight RWD car yours should be no problem.

[SirRangeALot]

Nope, I have one of my gf's FWD cars as a winter beater. The Passat stays warm and cozy in my garage. :D

Aww, lucky.... FWD can still cut it. Get on down here, we're doing something tomorrow. Ok, lets save this for the box, back on the topic of zie cruise.

[anchovi777]

yeah the roads to galena are amazing and a very beautiful drive.... and yup pretty much a party everyday here.. haha...

[Saab900CE]

Okay so we got our route now. Why don't we make it an all afternoon thing and make it the 3rd week of Jan. when the normal QC GTG would be. Except this time instead of meeting at the Beer Stube we all meet at Anthony's (he has a big open parking lot) then we go on the cruise up to Galena and then head to BWW. Meet up with whoever there and have some food. Then cruise back on down and hang out at Anthony's afterward if we are all still up for hanging out. How does this sound? :drive:

[SirRangeALot]

I won't make this one...I'm taking the gf to see Ron White in Des Moines as part of her Christmas present. Sorry! :(

Unless it's on that Sunday (20th), of course... :winknudge:

[STÖDER]

i say we look at the weather on some weekends and see what would be best

[Saab900CE]

I think we could probably change it to Sunday if you want.

Shae we could always schedule it for Sunday the 20th. Then take a look at the weather as it comes closer to that date and if it's going to be crappy we can always reschedule. Just my $.02 though.

[IaR32]

i'll be wishing i had my summer tires on thats for sure

That sounds perfect. I think we should do exactly what you proposed Jordan.

[SirRangeALot]

:yippee:

[Saab900CE]

Alright then guys are we setting this in stone now? Anthony gave his approval so if we are making this official I better make sure we have this right.

Meet at Anthony's around 12ish. Probably chill and wait for people untill around 1. Head up to Galena and then probably stop and chill for a little bit. Then call anyone that just wants to meet up at BWW in Dubuque (I'm assuming thats where its at) and tell them that we will be there shortly. Eat at BWW and then after then head back down on the same beautiful roads. (or because it will probably be dark maybe just head back home on 61?) Then anyone who still is up for hanging out we will be chilling then at Anthony's. Is this the plan?

Sounds like a good plan although if the roads will be dark then maybe we want to roll out a little earlier? Oh and if we could call ahead to BWW that day or something that would be good just to make sure we have enough seats that are together.

were pkg, we'll just roll in and own the joint...:D

[850 T-5]

I should hopefully be able to attend. Unfortunately I won't know until almost that day.

[STÖDER]

20th should be fine

[Saab900CE]

Alright people I did my part with coming up with route, date, and place to meet at. If we have some better suggestions on time and official route then people please chime in. It seems like I am the only one throwing out suggestions.

Anyway it might be short notice but maybe we might want to make this an official GTG(admins its up to you). Come all you other PKGers lets get a little more participation then like 5 people. It maybe winter but that doesn't mean we can't have a cool winter cruise. No one said it had to be fast. :drive:

Well you were doing so good at playing leader that I wasnt going to stop you :D . I think that we should probably meet at 10 and roll out at around 10:45ish. That way we will have at least a little more light on the drive back so we can enjoy those scenic routes. And we should definitely make this official! This will be a ton of fun and will be even better if we get some people to come out!

[Saab900CE]

Well it really doesn't look like this is going anywhere huh?

[CadburyRabbit]

This sounds pretty cool. I think I'd be down for this. Id have to drive in from Cedar Rapids but its all good.

[SDKmann]

Well it really doesn't look like this is going anywhere huh?

Well I think everything is planned out except for the exact time that we are going to meet, other then that everything seems good.
