Volo Feb takedowns' Birfday!

[Bradley G]

I read in another thread that takedown enjoys the Volo auto museum around the end of February.
Whad'ea think we meet there and look at all the old hot rods?, we can make fun of both of the classics, that are slower than our cars! :lol:

[TAKEDOWN]

Whoa!!! That's not a bad idea Brad! February the 28th is my burrrfday and it's on a Saturday. Anyone else wants to go? I'm open to suggestions after the 28th.

[justbob]

This could probably work for me, sundays are usually better for me and Brad.

[UncleLar]

Sounds good so far.You might want to post it on crown vic.net and mcm websites as I met a bunch of the crown vic guys up there last year when they had a meet there.

[bugsys03]

Hey Brad, thats close to home. Are Mopars allowed?

[Bradley G]

yES AND hIGHLY ENCOURAGED!:coolman:

I say the more the merrier!

[TAKEDOWN]

Hey Brad, thats close to home. Are Mopars allowed?

Only if you jump out my BurrrFdayYy Cake!

[TAKEDOWN]

This sounds like a good idea, whatcha guys think, February 28th or March 1st... any other suggestions?

[LOWBUCKMM]

any one of the two days will work great for me. i have only driven past volo and i have always wanted to stop and look at all the old cars. so im in for either day.

[TAKEDOWN]

JustBob could you start a poll for Saturday or Sunday options and say majority wins. Whatcha guys think? Good idea, bad idea?

[Bradley G]

I am in for Sunday!

[cvpiftw]

In like a mother****a'

[sanco]

i have to see when the date gets near since i dont know how i will be with my school work at that time. but if i go, we can celebrate 2 bdays at the meet :D

[TAKEDOWN]

If Sunday is the best day for everyone let's shoot for it... and SANCO, JustBob has already been picked to jump out of my BurrrFdAyYy cake, so find someone else!

[sanco]

lol i could probably convince ryan (cvpiftw) to do it, after which we could throw cup cakes at him :D

[justbob]

How did i get dragged into this? Fine i'll do it for tips.

[Bradley G]

So, March 1ST!:banana:

March 1st is cool. Would someone like to post it on crownvic.net and MCM too?

[TAKEDOWN]

March 1st sounds good to me!

[Bradley G]

[Motorhead350]

I can probably go!

[TAKEDOWN]

I can probably go!

Probably? No... MANDITORY!

[justbob]

NO! Maybe spandex.

[kcsd823]

Count me in! This almost makes it the second annual, since we were there last year at the end of March with the CVN meet. It gives me a chance to put some miles on the new transmission!

Drew what time are we meeting so i can let the cvn guys know? Plus i'm gonna call them tomorrow to let them know about our meet and try to score discounts.

[TAKEDOWN]

I usually like to go early 9-10ish sound alright?

[justbob]

10:00 it is. I forgot to call today, so i'll call in the morning.

[kcsd823]

10 AM? Sounds like we are either leaving at around 6:30-7A or staying somewhere close like last year. Better check into reservations again.....................

or you get there, when you get there. I'm sure we will all be there still, I can't guarantee your viewing of JustBob jumping out of my cake, though!

[justbob]

You do know i was joking.

[justbob]

Ok it is all set for 10:00 A.M. March 1st. I called today and as long as we have 15 or more people, which i don't see a problem with, it will be $7.00 per person. To get this discount we have to all pay at the SAME TIME, so don't just go in and pay when you arrive. Depending on weather i'm sure as usuall we will all be out in the parking lot for a little while anyways BS'in. There is no reserved parking but shouldn't be a problem with considering they don't even open till 10.

I know some of you may be late but i'm sure they won't have a problem giving discounts. We are registered as Windy City Marauders. Please try and keep your driving habits sane:beatnik:, this is a family place and they also have my contact info.:( See you all there.

BTW,if any of you are entertaining the idea of buying a car there please let me know so we can lock you in someone's trunk until you get over that silly idea.The personal experience of several people I know is why I'm telling you.

I don't know if I'll be driving the P71 or the MM.Depends on the weather,plus I had the MM up there for last years meet with the cv.net guys.
Drew,I'll go thru my MM literature and dig out the window sticker and any duplicate stuff I've got for ya bud.I'm still trying to figure out why I can't remember your wife's name and keep wanting to call her Priscilla? I am one of the worlds worst people for remembering names.Faces,places and Harley's I never forget though.

[TAKEDOWN]

Her name is Tyfannie or Boss Lady, which ever you choose!

[justbob]

I was talking about this whole cake jumping out of thing. It is a 10 Am start but we'll be around for a few hours so take your time.

[Motorhead350]

I think I can go, but I don't know if I'll bring anyone.

[LOWBUCKMM]

i know i will go. just as long as i remember to go.

[UncleLar]

I think I can go, but I don't know if I'll bring anyone.
Dom,if you need a ride due to the problems you've been having you're more than welcome to ride with me.If we leave early I've got a great restaurant we can stop at for breakfast first.Who knows,maybe we'll run into some more friendly babes too,lol.

I'm good now, but joining you for breakfast still sounds nice. You will have to kick over the rock I am sleeping under though, you know how hard it is for me to get up in the MORNING. :D

[UncleLar]

Tell me about it,I've been off work the past month and a half and am living on Hawaiian time,4 time zones later than us.And I have to start getting up at 4AM or so to go back to work the day after Volo.Brrr.

BTW,I caught justbob practicing for Takedown's B Day Party. :surprise::party:

[justbob]

Get Ryan to jump out, he would probably even pay to do it, just imagine giving him $20.00. I couldn't imagine what skimpy outfit he would ware! Maybe a Circuit City thong:dunno::awe:

[TAKEDOWN]

You have to admit Ryan doesn't have the moves like you Bob!

[justbob]

I listen to a LOT of disco.

There is such a thing. Lol, we had CCITY models at one point. Im sure the Ccity underwear would work.

[sanco]

thanks for the image asshats lol

almost time!!!! im actually really stoked about this, i think it will be a really good time!

[Zack]

Is this gonna be mostly guys?
If so Ill attend by myself.

[justbob]

Have you ever seen my wife? J/K she'll be working as always but i'm sure Tiffany will be there and maybe Dom's Becky?

[justbob]

Hey Drew, do i need to remind/tell you what to drive again?

[TAKEDOWN]

I think I'll remember!

Hi all,
I'm a transplanted Chicagoan due to my "life w/ Uncle Sam" but it's my B-Day weekend too and as luck would have it I might be in town visiting 'La Familia' -- I'm flyin' in and will be Marauder & CVPILess Unfortunately, but I sure KNOW where Volo is and would love to join ya if it all works out. I know you'll all be easy to find -- don't wait on me but IF I can catch ya'll there around 10 I sure will. Be great to meet you guys that I just read about on here all the time! :beer::cool:

We welcome any member, please come out. Post up your whereabouts and i'm sure someone will be close to ya.

[sanco]

You should definitely stop by... BTW thanks for serving our country!

[JUST 1BULLITT]

THANKS ALL FOR the WARM WELCOME!! I APPRECIATE IT! It's overwhelming actually, from thanking me for my service to offering rides! What a deal! I'll actually be good to go on wheels; I'll just borrow Mom's Cream Puff Panther - a MGM of course and cruise on down; esp. IF it's supposed to be a clear/sunny day! I actually have a PASS to get in FREE so don't wait on me; I'll spot you all I'm sure! I can't wait to see the MM's and CVPI's and other Panthers in the Parking Lot there!! It'll make for some neat pics! HOPE I can pull this off; got some Family commitments and all, but I'll try draggin' one or both of my Brothers along with me maybe and make it the Ultimate 'Male Bonding Event!' :beer::lol::banana2::D but THANKS again!! You guys are GREAT!

[Lou]

Volo?
March 1st?
10 AM?

I think I'm in!

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ There you go Lou, let's go! ^^^

[Quasar3210]

I'm In. See you guys on Sunday.

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey Guys, looking forward to it for sure! HOPE I can still pull it off and bust away from the Family Events! :cool: I think we'll have our "OWN car show" right in the Parking lot! : >

take care,

John "JUST 1..."

[sanco]

well one thing for sure, last time we were at volo it was mostly CV guys and one marauder and we had about 13 cars in the lot. this time looks like the same crown vic guys (and more) are going to show up, along with a lot more marauder guys. so it looks like this one is going to be just as big as the december 14th meet!! if not bigger due to the fact that we will have guys from wisconsin joining us

[Bradley G]

I have invited several local owners , they don't log on.

Even better!

[justbob]

Maybe THEY should pay US for the car show outside!

[UncleLar]

Maybe,but be warned,a couple of Lake County Sheriff's hang around near RTE 12 and RTE 120 so be very very careful on your way there and when you leave. One likes to hide in the gas station on the N.E. corner of 12 and 120 with his laser or whatever they use now.
I know,a couple of my long time friends live in Lakemoor west of 12 on 120,lots of police that way.

[justbob]

I'll be on good behavior (kids).

[sanco]

ill just thrown in takedown's name and 20$ :D

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey Guys,
this definitely sounds like a good time! It looks good that I'll make it and be there by 10; bringing my Dear Mom's 1997 Grand Marquis! (MGM) It's a Pale Yellow Cream PUff; can't miss it! "The Pale Rider" as I call it! Got all of maybe 30K miles on it now; she don't drive it much and bought it brand new back in the day! LOOKING FORWARD to meeting everyone!! :banana2::beer:

[Quasar3210]

Cleaned up and ready to roll.

Myself,Diller, Not_Grandpas_Marquis, and 02CHPCVPI from CVN will all be rolling down together from Wisconsin, Should hit Volo right around 10am.

[kcsd823]

Well gents, The kids and are will be there around ten (I hope). The daughters boyfriend will be driving her Crown Vic and I will be in 'Nightmare'. We tried to clean them up as best we could at 20 degrees in the garage.

See everyone there!

Here they are getting ga$$ed up-->

Leavin shortly. See you guys soon.

[UncleLar]

Leavin shortly. See you guys soon.
Quasar,Looking forward to seeing you so I can thank you in person for posting them pictures for me. I'll be driving my Brown P71 and have my Harley hat on.

[Quasar3210]

It was great to see everyone again, and meet some members I hadn't before. I wish it would have been slightly warmer though, cause i sure wanted to check out the cars alot closer.

[sanco]

great turnout guys! 24 cars throughout the day in total, best so far!!! hope to see you guys again in the future. i will post pics up as soon as i can.

for anyone posting pics please remove any license plate numbers visible for respect of other members.

[Bradley G]

At the mercy of being a credit grabber, I did contact some locals(friends) who have no contact with the forums.
And from being at the Chicago auto SHO/sho:P, I met a dude who is a Marauder/Panther lover.
I was happy to see him attend as well.
Can you Imagine what kind of turout we might have, when the weather gets nice!?

It was cold but nice to see so many people out there.
The pics are pretty good sanco.
I also ran into one of the way back when former mm.net mebers there again this year.He's into Mopar Muscle cars now and had his nice 70 Dart GT with a 340 Fro Sale inside,and owns a nice 1969 Super Bee,he said to say hello to you old timers,maybe you remember him? MadMan was his handle out here.He was a real nice guy then and still is now. If any of you want to get ahold of him you can send me your email address and I'll fwd it to him.

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey All,
Was pretty dam cold; but was an awesome turnout and GREAT to meet all of you and always worth it to make new friends! Looking forward to a repeat for sure; in warmer weather AND when I've got my Marauder in town with me! :cool: GREAT Job w/ all the pics; sure looks good w/ all of 'em lined up there!

[justbob]

Was good to meet you too John.

[Motorhead350]

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey Bob,
LIKEWISE! Your Son is a lot of fun to have around too! You can be PROUD he's a Chip off the Ol' Block on bein' car NUTZ!! :lol: Looking forward to our next gathering for sure! The Pics were great; plenty of folks took some so maybe we'll get MH350's in one too! :cool4:

[UncleLar]

I could swear somebody took pictures of Dom's car but his camo job worked so well you couldn't see the car in the pictures.lol

[Motorhead350]

I was playing around. I was late due to a rough night. :lol:

[JUST 1BULLITT]

NO WORRIES DOM!
Hey, didja at least get to go back and see most of the Museum?? You buy anything?? :help::eek::bandit:(Even WITH their "markdowns" all that stuff was HIGH!! :lol:)

Take care, GREAT meeting you and your "Bettah Half!" ;) :confused:

[justbob]

Mine wasn't pictured. :o
You brought your MM? I thought you drove a white crown vic?:D


Wash that thing man!

[sanco]

lol dom i could have swore someone had your car in the pic.

john it was awesome for you to be able to come out with us illinois and wisconsin guys, you definatelly met some of the coolest members this site and CVN has. also what are the chances of us catching up to you on the way back? lol that was great man, we tried to flag you down the first time when ryan and i pulled over to wait for you and chris but didnt look like you were able to merge. either way man, glad everyone had fun and cant wait for warmer weather!

[Motorhead350]

No I didn't buy anything. I was going to buy a Back To The Future tee shirt, but decided 15 bucks would be better in my gas tank.

My car wasn't too dirty until I had to drive though all that salt on the way over. :o

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Hey Sanco & Guyz!
Yeah, was most DEFINITELY a GOOD time!! I wasn't sure if you were waiting on me when you were pulled off w/ flashers on or not; truthfully - I THOUGHT YOU had gotten pulled off by one of the Local Patrolmen or Sheriff there when I saw all the Hazards flashin'!! :lol::help::eek: But by the time I saw what the deal was; yeah, NO way could I merge etc. TOO COOL though that we all wound up back together on 41!! (If I hadn't stopped for Gas I would've missed you all completely!) Hey, great time again and looking forward to the next one for sure!

Thanks again! :banana2:
