Definitely not nailed down. If John can have us meet at his place on the 3rd or 4th then that'd be great. I'll go driving around today to see if I can find a nice place to take some pics. Is this going to be on Saturday or Sunday? If it's Sunday then I'll go check the hours at Beck's.

DSV
02-19-2007, 01:48 PM
the actual day of the GTG is up the people going. i'd say figure out what is best for the guys up around the 'Loo since it will be in their backyard.

iowaboostin
02-19-2007, 02:00 PM
Either one is okay with me.. if John's willing to have it there it's up to him, if not then we'll just work around everyone else :tu:

That spot would work great.. I was also thinking any kinda park would work too, like George With (sp?), maybe even at Cedar Falls Raceway if that first gate is still open.

John2.0T
02-23-2007, 11:44 AM
i was thinking since its winter time - avoiding a lot of trees would help. A depressing background might suck.

I'm heading out there today - I'll see if I can find a nice lot.

hey guys.. just became informed of this little endeavour.

Hopefully it's not salty or I might not drive my vw.. ahh shoot maybe I will anyways :twisted:

I don't know though.. supposedly a storm is brewing for the end of this week.
If we get anymore snow I'll definitely get hung up in the roads and won't be going anywhere in the gti.

If the weather is crap I might be driving my beater truck!!


but either way count me in!!
(unless something happens with my grandfather he's been in the hospital).. so if I'm not there right off I may be at a funeral :td:

My house is on the corner of Prospect and Derbyshire, Its a big white house with black shutters, purple VW Bug next to the garage.

I'll probably park my car in the driveway and I'll have everyone park on the street next to the house. My driveway wont be able to fit more than 5 cars and its a PAIN to back out of...

Its pretty straight forward coming from 20 West...

Once you hit Waterloo, take the Ansborough exit. Hang a Right at the stop sign.

You'll go through one light (San Marnan) and turn right on Olympic Drive.

Follow this for about half a mile and turn left onto Prospect Blvd. Follow Prospect all the way. You will come to a 4 way stop (Ridgeway) keep going straight. I'm on the real boulevarded section of Prospect.

Second right is Derbyshire! You'll see my place on the corner.

If I remember correctly, there are 2 exits for Waterloo. Do I take the exit with Fazoli's on the LH side?

John2.0T

It's a new exit - they just opened it up a couple months ago.

As of right now, I35 is still closed north of Ames, I believe.

What about going from Ames to Toledo on HWY30, then north on HWY63 to Waterloo?

Here is a picture: http://www.mapquest.com/mqproxy/45e872f9-001c1-00303-0e86bccd&rnd=7223

Total Estimated Distance: 100 miles

Waterloo GTG :: Sunday, March 4th 2007

Location:
Meeting at John 2.0T's house @ 12pm (noon)
625 Prospect Blvd
Waterloo, IA

Agenda:
- Meet up at John's and BS around for a while/wait for everyone to arrive.
- Go to Waterloo Beck's for lunch @ 1:30pm
- Make fun of hatches
- Head out for some photos/go terrorize the streets

I won't be driving out there with you guys because I'll already be there, but I will be making the drive back.

Also, it looks like the roads are finally clearing off. I'd say the regular route to get there is probably fine. Ames to I35 North to HWY20 East to Waterloo. :tu:

yeah take your time getting here - i have the place to myself this weekend so we can kick it and hang out and then go to beck's.

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and cool - low 30's. I'm sure we can get a couple good pics so take your cars to the wash before coming ;).

John2.0T

I came over to CF yesterday via I35/HWY20 and it took me right around 1 hour and 40 minutes. There were small patches of ice on northern I35 and at the very beginning of HWY20, but other than that it was smooth sailing. Hopefully you guys are already on your way over.

I'll see you guys at John's at noon. :tu:

Well the GTG was overall fun, missing a few members who signed up though! My lower radiator hose popped off as soon as I parked it at John's house so I couldn't drive it around, lost most of the coolant and the hose clip wouldn't stay on. I got it fixed about an hour after the GTG :tu:

It was nice seeing new faces there, thanks for coming Brian, Marcus, Adi and Adi's wife :D

DSV
03-04-2007, 07:17 PM
We had a great time at the GTG. We had about 8 cars show up and got some slick pictures. Beck's had good food and a huge pool table, but the waitress was being kind of hormonal. Also, Dr. Pepper is DEFINITELY NOT a Coke product.

Hopefully Marcus, Brian and John will start posting up their pictures soon. :tu:

John2.0T
03-04-2007, 07:52 PM

It was great to meet all of you and I'm looking forward to future GTG's.
