[Smokie]

Mayra and I will be there.:)

[BAD MERC]

I hope there will be raffles - I was toying with bringing something "really nice" in a plain brown box that will tickle the hell out of whoever gets it. It seems that the turnout is rather small so far. We still have time and I don't see any reason why we can't have a mad turnout of 50 cars.

[Cobra25]

Glad to hear it. :D
Mayra and I will be there.:)

[Cobra25]

I'm sure as it get's closer alot more will chime in. Also John Nero is doing the General Raffle. Send him a pm if you like too Donate.

+1 on this. Let us know if you are planning on going. I will make this trip.

[BAD MERC]

Bump - Tom, a convoy across sounds great, I have tools and detailing supplies. It is confirmed, I will be donating for the raffle. The MSRP is $349.00 and will be kept secret until raffle time.

[Blackmobile]

:uzi:In case anyone didn't know, there is an Outdoor Target Range in the park as well!:uzi:
:uzi:

[BAD MERC]

Target range for what? When Lori and I show up - it's like Neo in "The Matrix".

We are so there. Hey Ed. I got a Remi .22 LR and it's camouflage.

"Ha! Now you can't see it!"

:laugh:

:laugh:

Yeah, that doesn't sound right for me, because I need to see it to know what side to be on when it's fired. I don't need an ear piercing at this age.
:bigcry:

[Cobra25]

OK Who else is planning on going ?

[MarauderTJA]

We can meet up at the Hess station off I-75 where we have been before with Claude. Forgot the exit number.

[Hotrauder]

I believe it was the Estero exit..Corkscrew Rd and I-75. I don't recall the exit number. Dennis

[MarauderTJA]

I believe it was the Estero exit..Corkscrew Rd and I-75. I don't recall the exit number. Dennis

That works. You are going to meet up with us right? What time was it, 8:30AM?

[BAD MERC]

Hey kiddies - it's exit 123. Corkscrew Rd. What are we now - only 5 guys?

[Cobra25]

I'll need for some more of you guy's to start posting up if your going ASAP. It would be helpful, Thank you.

[jabird56]

Stop by the Tower Shops in Davie on a friday nite after 6 pm to say hello .Only 15 minutes from Weston.

Unfortunately, we'll be arriving on Saturday the 4th and will be departing Friday the 10th. Any potential of something on the 5th? We'll be running in our TDI also and not the MM, as the TDI is getting 44-45mpg on the long haul (from MD to FL).

[juno]

99% in Z!!!!!

[Cobra25]

Thank you Jay !
99% in Z!!!!!

[MMMAN]

[Master]

Man, it stinks that it is is over three hours from Disney. I'm down there all the way from Nova Scotia with the family. No way I could get away for a full day, though. :(

Yes you can - when is the next time you think this will happen? the drive is shorter than you think and I promise it will be worth it. Make it happen - I am sure some people including me will chip in gas money.

[Master]

Gas money isn't the issue, that is for sure. I just can't imagine Joanna wanting to spend one of our 6 days doing a Marauder thing. She's pretty good about indulging me, but this is a big family trip. How I WISH! I bet I'd be the only 6 speed Marauder there!

[BAD MERC]

Well think about it. The ratio would still be in her favor - this is BIG if you've never been.

[Master]

The ratio would be in her favour? Explain, please? Oh! I get it. 5 days to 1. Yeah. Doesn't work like that.

[Shora]

Maybe you could still come with the whole family. Spend some time with us at the park and then take them to see something nice here in South FL. I am sure that we can think of a must see for you and your family. It could be a memorable experience.

[magindat]

Master,
I'm gonna jump on board here to help tip the scales. It would be an honor to finally meet you.
Further, there WILL be plenty of other-halves and children around. It's a family thing more than a car thing.
Hope to see you there, Sir.
Rich

[Cobra25]

Master their is more too see in Florida than Disney. We have a number of really nice place's the wife and kids would love to see here in South Florida also. If you like give me a call , I'll pm you my cell number and house number and give you a few idea's if you like. You only live once , see and do what ever you can. Also like Magindat said it's more like a Family Picnic than a car Club Picnic. The Guy's bring their wife's who get along great and their kids , some even bring their pets. PM sent.

[Cobra25]

Ok Guys, Please post up ASAP if you plan on going. It's about 2 weeks away from now.
