Labor day weekend

[teamrope]

Anyone up for a meet?

[whoskal]

Yes...It's about time we did something.:cool: there is one of the worlds largest swapmeets going on that weekend in a town called Packwood at the bottom of white pass...there is a very scenic drive there that starts in the back end of Yelm.

[A98CVLX]

I am game! Even thought I got a CV. But I could show up in my Pontiac Bonneville!

[whoskal]

got a flat on the freeway today....No damage except for the tire which is shot now....ordered a new set of fronts, hopefully they get here by this weekend.....says two business days, we'll see.

[teamrope]

That sounds about right for Tire rack. They are quick.

Any ideas where?

[DirtyDog]

How about the Bremerton Raceway on Sunday, by way
of the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge? If it is open, the track that is.

Doesn't look like anything is going on at Bemerton or Pacific raceways this weekend. Maybe there is a car show somewhere?

[whoskal]

Supposed to be real nice this weekend!!

[teamrope]

If Scott's car isn't finished we can always meet at his house. :D

[Blue03]

Saturday is shot for me but Sunday or Monday might work.
I must have missed something..."Scotts car isn't finished"? Scott what are you up to??? Have you turned to the bottle or some boost???:)

[Mrsteamrope]

I'm thinking Sunday as well. Maybe we can shoot down to Centrailia and snag Torino Heaven. :)

Torino Heaven???

[teamrope]

A member from Winlock that we havn't seen in over a year.

[Blue03]

Centralia could be a nice ride.
The online calendar from CruZin' Magazine http://www.cruzinmag.com/calendar.html lists a Fall Ford Fest in Graham on the 4th. Monday doesn't sound like the best day but it's something. I think I went to this one (BJ were you there too?) a couple years back. It wasn't great but ok. The calendar doesn't show anything at XXX on Sunday but does list a show in Bothell...just some thoughts.

[BruteForce]

If Scott's car isn't finished we can always meet at his house. :D

At least there would be plenty of parking

[BruteForce]

I must have missed something..."Scotts car isn't finished"? Scott what are you up to??? Have you turned to the bottle or some boost???:)

Not yet but working my way in that direction. :D

[BruteForce]

Well? What's the verdict on a meet this weekend?

[teamrope]

Linda almost forgot that the kids had a BBQ planned Sunday, so How about the Fall Ford Fest in Graham on the 4th?

[whoskal]

I'm open...what kind of event is it?

[Mrsteamrope]

:coolman: Car show.:)

[teamrope]

Almost done detailing the Beast She will be show/Supercharger unveiling ready by the end of the day. Who all is going?

[whoskal]

What time? where? How much?

[teamrope]

I plan on getting there around 9:30. Not sure how much but I think it was $15 to enter your car the last time I went.

It is held at the Pierce County Fairgrounds in Graham. If you follow Meridian all the way out to Grahm from Puyallup you will pass right by it. :)

[BruteForce]

Anyone from the north going to this? Bruce? Dave? Bueller?

[01 Interceptor]

I'm going to have to pass on this one. Have a great time. I wish I could see the S/C BJ!

[DirtyDog]

I,m going to pass on this one. I have to many projects going and I'm going to see if I can get some of them done. Have fun.

If anyone is interested I have an extra front spoiler and mine is on. I bought a Mach I and a Cobra. Returned the Cobra for another Mach I. Thought someone local would want it.

[whoskal]

I not going to make it, I got called into work this morning.......we should have a meet soon while the weather is still decent

[Blue03]

Just checked in but alas I'll be staying north today for a cook out in Mukilteo. Maybe I'll get my air dam screen and ProGard on though. BJ, I sure look forward to seeing your ProCharger Soon! Good luck at the show! Is it trophy time?

[Rhino]

We should totally get a meet going in the next couple of weeks. I know next week is bad for me, but maybe the week after? Whatcha think? Time for an XXX run? Famous Dave's BBQ again?

[teamrope]

We should totally get a meet going in the next couple of weeks. I know next week is bad for me, but maybe the week after? Whatcha think? Time for an XXX run? Famous Dave's BBQ again? XXX works for me.

[whoskal]

Which ever is decided I am open.:cool:

[Blue03]

XXX works for me as well.
Might want to stay clear of Sundays 9-10 (Mega Cruise) and 9-17 (1st Ford Meet)... But then again maybe they would be fun as well.
I think I can swing 9-9, 9-10 or 9-16. For me the second half of Sept is booked but whatever works for the most folks.
Cheers

[whoskal]

Saturday 9-16 works for me best.

[Rhino]

9/16 would work for me as well. :)

[TWEGGS]

I think 9/16 also works for me
Terry

[BruteForce]

Now we're talkin'. Sounds like we have a plan?

[Rhino]

Now we're talkin'. Sounds like we have a plan?

Yeah baby! XXX on 9/16. Now...what time shall we meet? And...is there anything there that day that's going to interfere with our planned meet? (You know, like a pissing content developing because the Impala SS club is there at the same time). :)

[Ryans PI]

Sounds like a plan.

[whoskal]

Ryan! where have you been?

[Rhino]

Ryan! where have you been?

I'm right here! Oh wait...you mean Ryan #1. :)

[teamrope]

We have to take linda's car to the shop in the morning, so I plan on sometime kind of noon-thirtyish

[Blue03]

I don't know when XXX opens but I think the North enders usually get there about 11:30am to Noon.
Should we make an attempt to send heads up emails to other regional MM/Panther owners in case they haven't seen this thread and might get a chance to attend? Spliting up the buddy lists may make it easier to have our largest turnout yet.

[whoskal]

Meet up for a southern convoy..?

[junior]

I'm in too. You guys talking about the XXX in Issaquah?

[DirtyDog]

They open at 11:00 AM. I'm in.

[MarauderMike03]

Hi all, Mike here, Im new to the block, my good friend Ryan told me about the up coming meet, would love to attend also. See you guys there, look forward to meeting some new marauder friends. :banana2:

[Ryans PI]

Glad you joined, Mike. Looking foward to see you again at the meet.

BTW Mike (whoskal) I'd been pretty busy lately so I haven't had a chance to catch up with everything here in the last month or so. Not to mention I've been playing around with the my "new" Mustang. I sold my first '87 Mustang for this one. Also a former WSP car.

http://sspmustang.org/for_sale/for_sale_62.htm

[teamrope]

Also the kids might be comming up with their 93 GM

[01 Interceptor]

I'm not sure as of this moment, but I will try. ;)

[Blue03]

Looks like we are on and with a possible good size turnout.:D
Does the usual Northern Convoy starting in south Everett at the 128th St. Albertsons (couple block west of I-5) at say 10:15am moving down to the Seattle Northgate Mall parking lot (North end) an departing at 10:45am to arrive at XXX after 11:15am all plus or minus a few... sound ok?

[Ryans PI]

Sounds good. Now that I live in Everett (off 128th), I'll meet you guys at Albertsons.

[whoskal]

Hey Bj.....what time are you planning on heading up?

[Rhino]

We all want to meet around Noon at XXX? Hopefully the weather will hold out and we can beat the crowds for lunch. :)

[teamrope]

Hey Bj.....what time are you planning on heading up?

Depends on when we get Linda's car in the shop and how quick I get her back to the kids house. I'll PM you my cell #. Give me a call tomorow.

[whoskal]

The weekend is about here. We still on? I need an address to the XXX, I do not know where it is.
Bruteforce...don't forget about our little swap.:beer:

[DirtyDog]

Swap, what are we swapping, we love swapping. I got stuff.

[whoskal]

No thanks, I don't want to have to get a shot.;)

Here's a link with a map...http://www.issaquahhistory.org/sites/xxxdrivein.htm...Basically from Seattle take I-90 east to Issaquah and go south (right) on Front Street at the light from the exit ramp. Move quickly to the left turn lane to turn left (east) at the next light (NE Gilman Blvd). Turn left at the second median break and look for us in the parking lot just east of XXX. Here's another link http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=47.537655~-122.034812&style=o&lvl=1&scene=3713750 to get you orientated or totally cornfused :)

Enuf Info?

[Ryans PI]

Hopefully the weather will be on our side. Where abouts in the Albertsons parking lot do you guys usually meet? Any specific place?

[BruteForce]

Wherever the first arrival chooses. :D

[Torinoheaven]

Rats!!! I am in the middle of painting a 66 mustang on Saturday. I would like to hook up with all of you again. It's been a while. I am ashamed to admit that our Marauder has sat in the garage for almost a year and a half. Doesn't have 5000 miles on it and still on oil change #2. I wonder if it runs?!!!? Well, have fun, maybe next time for us!

Nice to hear from you. Did you have the Torino in a show in Yelm earlier this year? Linda said see seen one a lot like it pulling out when she went to safeway that day.

[Ryans PI]

Got the car washed tonight. See you guys tomrrow.

[Mard]

Dang....looks like I'm going to miss another meet. I have to finish painting the house in morning and my son has his first soccer game of the season at 1:00. There are some other members I still haven't met yet....hopefully next meet and hopefully the Kooks will finally be installed.

There's a guy at my work, that also has a black MM, I need to convince to come out to a meet. Also, during the week I saw the blue MM in Burien I've mentioned before. Unfortunately I was in my old pickup and I didn't want to look like some crazy flagging them down.

[TWEGGS]

Hey Mard,
I saw the Blue MM in Burien also. In fact they live on 136th sw. I stopped in and knocked on the door but no answer. I'll try again. See you'll at the XXX
Cheers, Terry

[Ryans PI]

I used to see that Blue MM in Burien parked accross the street from my friend's general store off 53rd(?) street, but I haven't seen it parked there the last couple times I was there. I think a woman drives it.

[Mard]

Cheers, Terry

Yes, on 136th (end house) that's where I've seen it before. I'm not bold enough to knock on their door. Maybe I'll see them again and hopefully I'll be in the MM....that should get their attention. Won't see you this time at XXX...must finish painting house and kids soccer game later.

It was a woman driving it during the week....more reason not to be some crazy(me) waving her down while I'm driving my old truck.

[TWEGGS]

I haven't seen the car on the road. Maybe she didn't want to open the door to a stranger? I had my MM O'well
Cheers, Terry

[TWEGGS]

BTW:) Mard,
In what area do you live ?
I saw a Black mm at ViVa Mexico awhile back
Terry

[Mard]

Terry

I'm in the Des Moines area. I've never had my car in a Viva Mexico parking lot and the only other one I've seen somewhat local is the blue in Burien.

[Rhino]

Dang it...I had a total brain fart and thought the 16th was a Sunday. I am likely going to miss this round as I have to get a ton of stuff done prior to construction starting on my kitchen and bath remodel (demo starts on Monday). So...I am probably going to have to miss this one. :(

[TWEGGS]

Hope to see you along the way. We live south and up the hill from the Feery dock So. West Seattle

[Mard]

I have family that live out that way, Othello St, just off California Ave. I'm sure sooner or later we'll cross paths.

[Torinoheaven]

Hello, YES!!! That was us! Torino didn't see much action this year either.

Nice to hear from you. Did you have the Torino in a show in Yelm earlier this year? Linda said see seen one a lot like it pulling out when she went to safeway that day.

[teamrope]

Hello, YES!!! That was us! Torino didn't see much action this year either.

You should have let us know you were bringing it up! Linda said from what she could see on the road it is a gorgeous looking car. :)

[Torinoheaven]

Thank You, we have fun with that car. When the sun is out, the paint really comes alive. We will have to let you now when we get up in that area for a car show or event. We tried to go to the fall Ford fest in Graham, but, as usual for that summer we just didn't get the time. Looks like flames made it on your MM. Chromallusion?? Looks nice. Hope everyone had a good XXX time. Hope we can get together again to see everyone. :) :) :)

[Rhino]

Damn Ryan. And to think that one could have eaten off the engine of Big Red back in the day. What happened? You need some Engine Brite on that puppy!

[teamrope]

But we do have proof that it is a retired cop car...... It's got donuts rolling around in the trunk. :)

http://home.comcast.net/~teamrope/pics/donut.gif

[Ryans PI]

Ha ha, guys. Very funny. :razz: :D I am going to clean the trunk tomorrow.

Anyways, it was good to meet everyone again. It was nice to see some clean cars and engines. We should have another one soon.

Here are my pics.

Come on, guys. I know you took more pics than just of my motor and trunk. Lets see 'em.

[Torinoheaven]

NICE PICTURES!!! Wish we were there, but I did get the Mustang painted.:(
Nice donut locker too!

[Mard]

teamrope has a Procharger!!!!!! If I had known that I would have put down that paintbrush and painted in the rain all day tomorrow.

How long was that been installed?

Any demo rides available...:burnout: .

[TWEGGS]

Hey,
It was GREAT fun today!! We need take a ride next time. How about it?

[TWEGGS]

Hey Dave,
These are the tires I'll be putting on soon.
I'll put 245/50-18 Front and 255/55-18 Rear

It was good to see everyone again. It was a nice day!
I added my pics to the Gallery, I thought under Events, but who knows. I probly messed it up but if you go look quick before something changes maybe they are still there. I even got it go into a slide show. They come out pretty large on my screen, I might should have down sized em but that's just too much fussin. Hope they work for you all.
Cheers

PS - For slide show go to Photos, Click Events scroll down about half a screen and then click Category Tools and set your image time then "View Slide Show" .... any body know where the manual is?
