[SL8Brick]

http://www.ikea.com/ms/en_US/img/about_ikea/timeline/1960_left279x120.jpg

Where:
Ikea
2206 S. Columbus Blvd.
Philadelphia, PA 19148

When:
Sunday, April 6th - from 11am until 3pm
(raindate of Sunday April 13th)

After a few weeks of discussion and a meeting between Ikea's public relations manager and myself, Ikea has granted permission for the use of thier parking lot @ thier South Philadelphia location. They've offered us use of an ample parking area only ~50yrds from the main entrance. However, since we're not officially a "club"...they will not aknowledge a partnership between us, only permission to use the space.
You're welcome to bring your own food/non-alcoholic drinks, but reasonably priced food & drinks will also be available in Ikea's resturant. We'll also have access to Ikea's restroom facilities.
So, clean up that ride, bring along the spouse for a day of shopping and let your kids jump in the ballpit.

Da' Rules:
- No burnouts, drifting, excessive speed while on Ikea's property.
- No loud music/subwoofer demos.
- No alcohol.
- Selling anything on Ikea's property is prohibited.

Let's get it goin'!!

yes!

[MrBill]

you are a club, you're turbobricks!

[Volvit]

i'd be more inclined to go if it were the IKEA in Conshocken. Philly streets beat me up.

[SL8Brick]

I tried for Conshohocken, but they would only grant permission for S.Philly. Besides, if you take Rt95 into Philly, its only a couple of miles off of exit#20...minimal driving on Philly sidestreets.

[Volvit]

I'll consider it. depends what state the 245 will be in.

[Blubrik]

I'm in as long as I can follow you out, Bill. I guess I had better start putting her back together, eh? Philly, huh? Can I borrow some body armour from someone?

[gear whine]

hey roger is your wife coming? you should have her drive the grey 244. id like to see that again.

You can follow me, but I'm leavin' pretty early. And Yes, get ol' Blue roadworthy...including that OE rear foglight!

Philly, huh? Can I borrow some body armour from someone?

Aw, c'mon...its not that bad around Columbus Blvd.. Besides, Mr. Nutter has promised better protection for everyone.:lol:

[gear whine]

hey how early are you getting there?
ill go early as well... since ill be drivin like 2hrs

[SL8Brick]

It starts @ 11am, I should be there by 10am.

[gear whine]

nice i will see you early.

[Booster]

i know i will have to leave early... live out on li.....

but bet your bottom dollar i will be there

[SL8Brick]

Awesome, folks.

I've cross-posted this topic on both Volvospeed & Swedespeed as an open invitation from the Tbricks RWD crew...so expect there to be FWDs in attendance as well.

[Blubrik]

Bill, tell me where and when to meet you and I and the Missus will be there, no promise on that snazzy rear light though! I've been very unmotivated to do any wrenching this winter. Luke (aka Elvis), you going to go out with us or just meet there and did you get a haircut recently?



Edit: Why are you and Luke surfing T-bricks right now, shouldn't you both be working? Hippies.

[SL8Brick]

Bill, tell me where and when to meet you and I and the Missus will be there,

No problemo, Roger...we'll work it out as the date draws closer.

[SL8Brick]

Cross posted on VSA's forums.....Let's see if we can get some really old Swedish steel on the lot!

[SL8Brick]

A formal challenge has been issued by me on our behalf to our friends over @ Volvospeed:

Alright, you HAD to make me do this: >>(the following text was written in jest...please don't take it too seriously)<<

For years, the RWD crew have attended various local gatherings only to find ourselves grossly outnumbered by our newer FWD bretheran. Well, we think that's about to change. We are officially challenging you guys(FWD/AWD/Ford crew) to an attendance competition for bragging rights. That's right, basically we think you're all a bunch of wusses that are too scared to drive your precious machinery into the city and we dare you to prove us wrong.

At this moment, you guys are outnumbered 2 to 1. So, c'mon out on April 6th...if you dare...just to save face, if nothing else.



:-D

[drinking940s]

^^ judging how VS, they'll probally bash on you.

[SL8Brick]

naaa...they know where I'm coming from.;-)

Besides, even if they do show up en mass that's still a good thing.

[njbrickwithboost]

Luke...wtf...we should convoy together

[esunbaboon]

naaa...they know where I'm coming from.;-)

I'm going to guess they out number us 3 to 1 judging on the other meets I've attended. :pat:

we can.

[Booster]

we can convoy if you can keep up.

[FlyingTog]

Count me in.

just remember we are there to have fun.

[red245]

Bringing the 245.

[red245]

IF.

lol.

[Booster]

Yes if, you have the twisties covered i got the straight line covered. Lol

[Chino]

Well, guess I'll be working overtime to get the old girl back together before then. Just wish it would warm up a little so my fingers don't get so darn numb.

I'm in.

Ineptchino/90 244DL/Chino (aka Josh)

I'll try to drag Blake into it from up here as well...

[SL8Brick]

Glad you can make it, Josh!

Keep it up guys, we're gettin' some serious RWD here.

[gear whine]

wen ppl in the fwd crew say they are going you should post up a fwd list so we can see the total numbers.

[SL8Brick]

Good idea, Luke. I'll separate them when the list gets a lil' longer.

Right now, we're kickin' thier arse.

[gear whine]

avedy naiece!!

[Booster]

rwd is better anyways

[SL8Brick]

Well, guess I'll be working overtime to get the old girl back together before then. Just wish it would warm up a little so my fingers don't get so darn numb.



Oh Josh, I almost forgot to ask...are you going to have the bodykit installed on the 244 for the meet?

[billy780]

I plan on being there.

Billy780/81 262c w/B230Ft or 04 XC70 is the 262c is in the body shop by then/Billy

[SL8Brick]

81 262c w/B230Ft or 04 XC70

uhoh....looks like we've got one on da' fence(cough...262c...cough;-) )

[Booster]

i like the response we are getting.

10+ people in less than 2 days. Wow. Big turn out.

on a side note, i will have been to the dyno by this meet, so i will know exactly how much power i have.

[billy780]

uhoh....looks like we've got one on da' fence(cough...262c...cough;-) )

The 262c may be getting painted and the other 262c does not run as I have not completed the wiring, and the 92 745t is nothing to look at so it may default to the xc70 but I have 3 RWD cars and that one is AWD not just FWD so that should help in the T-brick standing.:oogle:

[Booster]

my 745ti isnt anything to look at either.

but im still bringing it.

[SL8Brick]

B-B-Bump....I know this meet is a ways off, but I'm not gonna let this thread fall this quickly. ;-)

[Chino]

I'm tryin. First things first, lets get the old girl together and inspected by the end of the month this month (cough cough...gonna be a couple of late nights), then we'll deal with the trim and body kit. Not to mention the other umpteen things that need done.

Oh Josh, I almost forgot to ask...are you going to have the bodykit installed on the 244 for the meet?

[SL8Brick]

updated....added 1 more AWD....they're catchin' up

[SL8Brick]

2 more Swedespeeders added....and the FWD/AWD count mounts

C'mon Tbrickers, we need MOAR RWD!!

[esunbaboon]

I'm trying to get a friend with a 940 to come. I'll let you know when I hear back from them.

[Booster]

Me thinks there will be 3 turbo rwd's from ny this year. :ninja:

After having the wagon for the day....

**** yea.

[PaulGraz]

Hi guys - I'm new here, I saw this cross-posted on the VSA forum.

Weather permitting, I'll be there in my 1971 Volvo 1800e. (Sorry, she doesn't come out on nasty days) Looking at the list, you kinda need some older iron there... ;-)

[SL8Brick]

Thanks, Paul. Its about time that we got some really ol' Swedish steel at our gatherings.

[Fake-R]

Hm. I might be in. April 6th? I think I can do it. Brett245/Brett/245. haha.

Gotta talk to Jeff(Canam77) and get him to get down there too. He'll prolly bring his yellow, if anything.

[SL8Brick]

Cool, Brett! You can park your euro'd wagon right next to mine! :nod:

[Fake-R]

sweet! I've been waiting to goto one of these! Can't wait to become an active member of the community!

[njbrickwithboost]

I will come down, with either my 850, if it's decent by then, my mom's XC or with my brother(iDrum) with his 00 R. so...

[WheyDey]

its difficult to say with my job being what it is, BUT i will give you a definite possible maybe.

its an official term used by admin at 1PP.


WheyDey/Bill/mysterious 9 series project that may or may not yet suck.

[SL8Brick]

Bill, I'm keeping track of all of the "maybe"s....but I'm not adding them to the official list yet.

But, still.....I hope you can make it out.

[skld]

Add me to the list of maybes. I start a new job next week, and don't know my schedule yet, but if I'm off that day, I'm in Philly!

lol i dont expect it this early, even though i dont post nearly as often (time constraints, new house, ugh) as i used to, i still hope i can make it out, get the last few finishing touches on the 9-5er, register it (as what i dunno), insure it (for what i dunno), and not crash it :oogle:



maybe the the admin command god will smile upon us.

[SL8Brick]

I went to the Lehigh Valley(Swedespeed) gathering today. It was a good excuse to desalinize ol' slate, but I didn't have time to stick around and drive the go-karts. Some of the "R's" were very nice indeed. 9 cars...7 fwd...2 rwd.:oops:

shellie(745T) and I were there to represent :volvo:

I'm totally open to ideas here. Mine are a bit lacking since I'm not completely familiar with the neighborhood.

Dave & Buster's is a good idea, though.

[Fake-R]

This is going to be my first distance trip.Farthest I've driven is Wilkes Barre.:oops:
So you guys are popping my cherry!
Bringing the girl along as map reader. haha.
Chances are, I'll end up having to go in Ikea at some point....

[SL8Brick]

Chances are, I'll end up having to go in Ikea at some point....

They do have a resturant in the store, although the food/drink selection is somewhat limited. But we'll have full access to bathroom facilities as well as the store itself. And like I said earilier, you won't have to walk a half a mile to get to the main entrance...we'll be parked pretty close. It might be a nice time to bring home a new coffee table with a funky Swedish name. :-P

for every so many minors (in this case minor being -21) you have to have one adult over 25

no just over 21.... well thats the case here in ny. but also if you just explain we are a volvo club trying to get something to eat, they will accomidate us

[drftvlvo240]

[EDDIE]

Ill be there with tthe wagon...For sale so come to see it at the show if you want..Cant wait..

[Booster]

pat makes a good point, so with that

who wants to go to d &b after the show?
if there is enough interest to go there for food afterwards i can call them up & let them know of a party for say, minimum 30 people. We might be able to get some sort of discount, or seperate room because of the large amount of people.

from personal experience my 22nd b-day, i had it at d & b. They gave my party 20% off the game cards. Which was pretty cool.

[Volvit]

Now I'm curious about that wal-mart. Elaborate please.
If you're not ready for "the big city". it will come as a culture (of philly) shock.


There's not much safe spirited driving that can be done in the city.
correct, cops cracked down on drag racing years ago, so trying to get away with anything spirited is not only stupid (no offense), but unlikely


As for food. Tony Luc's is close by. MMMMMMM Awesome sandwiches. We have the chains down there too, I think like a texas roadhouse. but IMHO if your in philly do something philly. Pats and Genos is do able too, but parking is a bitch.

Yet another thought if the phighting phills have a game... we could prob get a group rate, food for thought

[sacrifice]

oh no not the xc70!!

thats what im sayin

Spirited drive.

that will be on the way to lukes house. & then more on the highway after we meet up with him.

I'm thinking about $60. They're OEM Volvo, when I got them, I just sanded them down, and painted them quick. They've been sitting in my car ever since.

Are those iPd bars strut bars?

Also, going to be willing to trade for parts too. I'm looking for sways, Metal splash pan, ecodes, spacers, new ebrake cover, and maybe more.

The Wii has 2 remotes, a nunchuck, classic controller, Gamecube controller, Wireless sensor bar, NFS Carbon, NFS Prostreet, Mario 64, Wario's Woods, and also have Zelda/Wii Sports around, if I can find them, not sure the condition that they're in though. It's going to be hard to part with this, so make the deal sweet.

Plus, someone from Brickboard says he's bringing at least 2 more RWDs.

[SL8Brick]

I sadly will be repping N/A bricks.


Fear not, turboless gamby...for I as well a turbo lack. BLUBRIK's 244 is also NA, but what it lacks in power it makes up for in *BLING*. :lol:

[FlyingTog]

Yes it will
I sadly will be repping N/A bricks.
However my Borbets have tires and are going on, So I'll bring limited style along with some dents.

Don't fret, for I as well have no turbo. My mom's car (the 745 I'm bringing) also lacks boost. And, I just crashed my car, so I may be rocking some bends in the bodywork. But, it's all good!

How many N/A's or N/S's (nearly stock) are going?? +2 right here.

P.S. RWD is still winning!! Woo!

[Fake-R]

hey, my wagon is n/a too, so no worries. Although it'll still be faster than yours.:-P

[drftvlvo240]

ill drive my sentra for FWD not turbo power.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions so fast.
But it's a possibility.

My `93 is mildly modded(more suspension than engine)...but its also an automagic, so it can seem painfully slow at times.

P.S. RWD is still winning!! Woo!

Yea, but we still need more RWD before I'll feel comfortable...Dug Strickler and Eli, where are you?!?! (hint-hint ;-) )

[lv2xlr8]

i'mtrying to make it, looking good so far, not sure of the wife wants to come along. but who's coming from the farthest away so far. mapquest says it about a 10hr drive for me. oh yeah 92 740 turbo wagon. 13psi, 2-1/2 exhaust for now. i got a 15.0 last sumer with her hoping to get to low 14's maybe high 13's. future plans are alot of ipd suspension upgrades, 15g ,fred's chip, brown tops, 3" exhaust, 16-18psi.

Wow, a 10hr drive? Unless McLovin decides to drive out from Ann Arbor, MI...you'd get the "award" for farthest distance traveled. If you need local hotel info...feel free to PM me.

I'd guess I'm putting somewhere around 160-170 crank horsepower, judging on the weight, acceleration compared to other cars, and cars I've driven with.

160hp in a NA?!? You must be running some mighty fancy internals. :badboy:

(Damn, I knew I shoulda pursued that on-site dyno. :-P )

[Booster]

160... woweeee..... i think you might have hom
i remember the days of 160hp, oh wait, i still have 160...

[HolyCrapItsDawson]

This meet is lookin' real tempting... It's only a 4 hour drive for me! I'd say that if the list hits 50, I'll be in for sure!

you can meet up half way if us ny nj folk and come along to phili with the caravan, i think the count is like 9 bricks soo far.

get more CT folk to come along, this can be huge!!!

I'll be happy if we get 40 cars...but I suppose 50 isn't out of the question.

yes there will be a bunch of us from li going to nj, then into pa.

[lastoasis]

I'm in, never been to that IKEA but I'll figure it out.

LastOasis/Keith/745T or 244

I may show up early to get that cheap IKEA breakfast

[FlyingTog]

Who's coming from South Jersey? (Cape May, Atlantic, and Cumberland Counties.) Want to meet up for a caravan if anyone anyone else will be coming from down this way? I'll be taking Route 55 up to the Walt Whitman, already with a caravan of two bricks, mine and my mom's. (my mom is excited about it. She said "I'd love to go to that, I can easily kill 4 hours in Ikea...") Lmao! So it looks like my whole family will be coming along. Haha.

If anyone else will be coming from this far down, we could meet up in the Target parking lot in Vineland and leave from there.

Pete.

[gear whine]

yes! moar RWD!

[njbrickwithboost]

1----I'm coming with my N/A car, which makes about 160 CrankHP;-)

2----Northern Jersey Folk, LI people and others should meet at my house. I live right next to I-287/Rt.22/Rt.206/Rt.202/Rt.28 and 15 minutes from the Turnpike and Parkway. Only 1 hour from Philly and 45 minutes from NYC. Ideal central location for a convoy, plus you will get 3 Bricks from my town...1 1/2 RWD and 1 1/2 of em FWD...

[gear whine]

your house is good for us local folk and i think the 1st stop on the turnpike is also a good meeting place.

[Booster]

gamby, possibly drftin240 & myself will meet up with njbrickwithboost & gearwhine, etc..... we shall caravan out. it will be a fun day.... lots of boost & volvo content

[njbrickwithboost]

I was thinking we could take 206 S to 95 into philly...no tolls and only about an hour....which local folks, besides us 4 are going anyway, and who from LI?

[Booster]

the following members live on li*

drftngvolvo240 aka pat
wheydey aka jumpy
gamby242 aka matt
mackie2002 aka magic
skld* aka shawn
Booster aka potter


denotes he doesnt actually live on long island he lives in queens & would rather not be affiliated with li. but technically speaking he still lives on an island

[lv2xlr8]

for those that were asking im from South Bend, Indiana

[SL8Brick]

for those that were asking im from South Bend, Indiana

Yup...that would be quite a hike. I drove my ol' `83 245 to Indiana once...and, yes, it took 10hrs driving strait through.

[njbrickwithboost]

I have family in Indiana......and Ohio, and Arizona, and Texas, and New York, and New Jersey , and Conneticut, and Maryland, and Ukraine, and Austrailia and ...and...and....!!!!

Im about to go work on my 850 now, while i was driving, my evaporator and something else fell off, and my only option was dragging it home. No doubt that the repair of this will involve zip ties...!
