When is the round up?

So what's the story with this, this year? Haven't heard any chatter yet...

Would be cool to see everyone again soon along with some new faces broadcast throughout...

Ditto. Maybe I'll even bring a B-Body this time!

Before I saw your wagon at Indy's house I was starting to think you crashed it 2 years ago and just kept posting old pictures of it to make us think you still had it!

Sadly, it looks worse now.

I am down for once! I will just snatch a dealer plate for the day.

I am working HARD to get the Caddy ready for this in some form! Wagon is unacceptable at this time.
Pick a place and host it up Matt!!! Plenty of malls and such to grace with our presence!

If everyone would like to keep it the way it has been, I set things up.

Yeah, I like the thing we've been doing actually.

I wasn't trying to step on your toes Billy!

I'd be down for some other small different regional things/meetups/cruise nights also...the season's almost coming to a close so it would be nice to hit a few things beforehand...

Skip the ice cream trip - by the time we get there it's too cold, or too late & we hanging for all of like 20 minutes and everyone splits.

Rather spend more time at the park, or at Newick's and be able to actually catch up with everyone that made it.

More time at the park so I don't spend too much time in Newick's suffering from my one allergy.

Yeah you know Dave, It'd be nice to actually meet you... Can you bring a lawn tractor with you too?


Also, if anyone has any extra B-body's I'd be down to drive it so they can show off their toys and keep the chevy meet more ya know... GM centric!

Bring the D, so I can remember what the hell mine looked like from the factory.

I like the omission of Johnson's as well. That place has gotten UBER expensive! I will say that time we did the run up there with the huge amount of cars in single file was absolutely incredible, though.

I don't know what I should bring either. I like taking the old car because it will have to be put away for the winter. But not many people ever see the white car. lol

It may shock the hell out of you, mine is looking more and more like yours use to every day! I gotta see what repairs get done first. Either the Fleetwood's steering box gets replaced or I fix the 9C1's melted HVAC system.

I'm down for sure! I havn't done ANYTHING this summer. Been too busy doing important life stuff......

The impailer should be registered through next September, so I can bring that

Might the marshmallow make an appearance???

Great! LMK so I can hit the highway JUST after you.

That way all the POlice will be occupied.. .. ..

Methinks this shall be a good event this year from the looks of things...

Yeah, always starts with good intentions, then ppl slowly start dropping... I have every other fri-sun off. As long as it fall on one I'm not working I'm in.

Oh and does the park have public restrooms or are there any in walking distance?
Will determine whether preggo wife goes or not.

Let me know what weekends you have off in October. Since we don't have a date, it could help lock one down. They have porta potties at the park, but the restaurant is 2 min away.

...preggo wife...

Congrats! How far along?

I have september 21-23 and October 5-7, and 19-21 off

I have my daughters b-day on one of the days sept 21-23, and I believe a baby shower for my wife on the 21st of October. Fridays are out for me as I get off work at 7am fri mornings no way I'd make it in time, plus I'd be scared of driving 2 1/2 hrs after working 12 hr shift.

So basically we have for me:
October 6-7th
Or October 20th
But don't plan around me

Glad to hear Indy!

IronfistPup?

OK so your still in man to man coverage.

#3 = zone coverage.....think about it.. ..

One final question before I set things in motion. Do you guys still prefer Sundays over Saturdays?

I prefer a Saturday, but either day works.

I'd have to say Sat too

Whatever you decide is fine

I can't do Saturdays, but I can't do Sundays either until 10/14.

Either day works for me. But Sundays are better

If it's in Oct- I know I can't do the 27th, I think I'm pretty flexible all the other weekends.

I'm moving the last weekend of September, if that counts for anything.

Then it's all set. We start at the old house, end at the new house, and everyone brings a car full of stuff. Wagon attendance is preferred.

Fall round up is the last weekend of September.

My window of opportunity opens on October 17th and closes on November 15th.

I'm taking the whole year's worth of vacation time in one gulp.

If necessary, I may be able to shift the whole block of time ahead three days.

I'm hoping it falls within that time-frame though, because I will attend if it does.

Well.....Knowing THAT...I cast 1 vote for 10/20 or 10/21

Seems to align alot of members with tight schedules

I'm on board. Gives me a month to finish the wagon.

Oh my god, if MDZ makes it to the meet, I will be content with the world ending this Dec. LOL

Can't wait to see you again Glen! I can make any Sat. or Sun. no matter what.

I hope a date can be arrived at that suits the most possible number of attendies & members.
All my B-bodies are currently hung by one issue or another.
InlineTube has sent me a set of brake lines for the 96 SS that wound up having the wrong tube-nut thread form for my vehicle.
So that car remains on jack stands with no brake system in it.
The 96 9C1 has a seized AC compressor & the #2 exhaust port header pipe from Clear Image is split all the way around (noise & fumes).
The 88 hot-rod boxy LS-B is back apart for some major cooling & brake system upgrades.
The 88 LS Brougham has a peculiar driveability glitch where it intermittently struggles to exceed 40 MPH.
Both 89 9C1s are apart for parts swapping and repairs.
The other two "recently acquired" boxy 9C1s are not registered yet, and need some repairs as well.
The 95 9C1 has lost it's body, bare frame now.
The 84 Olds 88 LS Brougham has a clogged cat & in tank fuel sock, & needs a complete tune up.
The 02 Dually has a 496CI engine and get 5-6 MPG.
My 1990 boxy V3500 Frankenstein truck remains a project for the back burners, not even close to road worthiness.
Might have to come up in "old reliable", a Swedish car (940 Volvo turbo wagon).

Much as I'd like to drool over a thoroughly maintained B, it really wouldnt be right unless SOMEONE showed up in something different---
