2008 iPd Garage Sale - Calling all Hoopties

[Cameron]

Soooo it's almost that time again :run:. This year is the 25th anniversary of our glorious little party and I want it to be bigger, better and all around more awesome than last year. "Official" info HERE (http://www.ipdusa.com/2008%2DIPD%2DGarage%2DSale%2DCar%2DShow%2DSwap%2DM eet/fi-31/). Threads from last year can be found here (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=98463&highlight=garage), here (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=97751&highlight=garage) and here (http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=101248&highlight=garage) among other places.

I would love to see as many of you guys there as possible and would REALLY love to have as many of you guys with interesting/cool Volvos to be in the show :oogle:. If you have a car you'd like to have in the show email me directly at camerond@ipdusa.com as I'm in charge of getting all the show cars together again this year. That means you Phil/Adrian/Kyle/Danny/Carson/everyoneelsewhosenameicantthinkofrightnow!
Besides the normal car show, swap meet and everything on sale goodness of that day we've also extended the hours of the show into the afternoon a couple hours. We'll also be raising money for the Oregon Humane Society and should have a couple other fun things going on that day.

P.S. The Pegasus replicas in RWD offset should be here by then too...

Damn, we are not going to be in until the 22nd :(

[6kYellowLine]

Is there an entry fee or any fee of any kind?
Do you have to call if you are only going to be looking at buying, not swapping?

Come to the OVT booth, ask for the associate spiritual advisor, give him $5, and you'll be granted access.

































The event is free. You only need to call ahead if you are going to be entering the car show or if you want to reserve a spot to sell in the swap meet.

[adrianpike]

I'll bring one of my hoopties.

[Tom Wiley]

I might show.

[Poik]

I think I will be able to bring my 740 down.

[lovethellama]

not that i'd ever be able to get enough gas money, but if i did, i'd be out there!

[DurableSwedish]

I really would like to come, I'm working my butt off trying to get my 66GL up and running for the meet. if all else fails, I'll just drive the 88 245DD down there :-/

[xrayjeeper83]

If it wasnt on the wrong coast I would go

[badvlvo]

I can't this year, too much work.:-(

^^What he said.

I'll bring one of my hoopties.

The one with the B234? :oogle:

[adrianpike]

The one with the B234? :oogle:

If I can find a trailer, I can put the HX35 on the side and bring it down. :-D

My time between now and then is pretty solidly booked, so I probably won't have any time to do anything but put it back together, and even that's questionable. I'll keep you guys updated.

[volvoposer]

After going 3 years in a row now ill finally have a volvo this year!

[Jordan]

Cameron, I dont know if my car is cool enough for the show, but I emailed you with some links to a couple threads for my car. Trying to do my part to make it a good 25th!

[NChoy]

Bummer... I'll be on the opposite coast by then.

Anyone want to drive my R to the garage sale?

Emailed back - :)

As long as I can drive it the whole time you on the east coast I could bring it to the Garage Sale... :-P

[volvoluvin]

I'm planning on making the trek, need to "whore" out Kenny's work for him...


Hooptie man, (now that you've graduated, I can't call you boy anymore), maybe we could caravan again...

[reeferman]

i hope ill be there with no dents from the first race...

Bummer... I'll be on the opposite coast by then.

if you really want it there tonya could pick it up on the way

[Jordan]

I'd really like to drive down there with a crew. Carson I know you're gonne be in the show and you gotta come south anyhow... same with all those Seattle guys.

[GrandmaSideways]

My car won't make it, and thus, I likely won't either
too bad

[joel142]

I'd really like to drive down there with a crew. Carson I know you're gonne be in the show and you gotta come south anyhow... same with all those Seattle guys.

It would really be nice if we seattle/NW folks can all head down together.

I'm definitely going in the 142, but, I'd really want to go with a caravan. Not that anything should go wrong... :oops: So far that car has been rock solid - starts every time, stops every time, nothing his fallen off, but, there is safety in numbers and it just sounds like more fun.

Can't wait to see it! I added you to the list

I'll keep my fingers crossed it doesn't get any major "battle wounds." -- I added you to the list.

It all depends on what caravan you want to catch.

Oddly, there's nothing on the website (http://www.psvcoa.org/page-events.html) yet, but the PSVCOA club normally caravans south early Saturday morning. They normally meet somewhere in Tacoma.
I think the Volvospeed/ some tbricks people caravan on Saturday morning too, but I haven't seen a thread yet. Probably leaving from 65th street.
I'm not sure if the P1800 club goes or not. I normally see some of them there, but I don't know if they caravan.

I normally go down a few days early to spend a few days in Portland, but I should be at the show with both cars again this year.

Agreed. I want to do that. Its just a lot more fun to cruise with Volvos.

[Cameron]

It would be AWESOME is the 66GL could make it :oogle:

[GrandmaSideways]

how about towing the 66GL with the 245?

Honestly, swedish, you need to enter the 66gl in the show, you might win most unusual.

[B-dub]

I'm doing everything I can to slap my hooptie together. It's going to be difficult but with a little help it might happen.
Edit: A ton of help.

It would be great if we were able to get all of the groups together. The Krispy Kreme right by the Tacoma mall would be an excelent meeting spot for everyone that's going down Sat morning.

Yeah dude cause that worked so well last time.... hahaha

But we should still meet up and cruise no matta'

[DurableSwedish]

I'm not going to be able to make it...I had to reschedule my AF thing to the end of the month because i'm graduating WSU on the 3rd, and the reschedule date is the same as the IPD meet. :cry: Some of the other eastern WA guys aren't going to be able to make it, so we are going to try and get a mini-meet up and going. LAME! maybe next year :-(

[klr142]

Well at least you might be able to have the 66GL running by then. Or sold.

Anywho, Cameron, there's nothing real special about my car and it's not too different from last year...

[Tom Wiley]

Is anyone from Cali showing up?

[Lord Tentacle]

Dad will be there with the wagon
with loads of stuff to hawk:lol:

[Hagar17]

Judging by last years pics this thing needs moar 740 lovin...

[Poik]

I'm bringing the 744. It's going to look absolutely sick.

[Lord Tentacle]

I'm bringing the 744. It's going to look absolutely sick.

the carbed one?

[Davin]

This might be a dumb question, but is the show held at ipd? Thanks.

[volvoluvin]

yurs...

[totaled108]

Yep, its held at IPD. I'll try and make the long 5 mile road trip like I did last year. Good fun. :)

We'll be there at 0'dark thirty. I think that Sean is camping out. There's a thread in events on OVT about it.

[swedishiron.com]

No hooptie for me - just my daily driver (that isn't worthy of being in a car show).
Jonathan

[Lord Tentacle]

umm yes
i should be attending
with the all amazing hybrid 24v NA 940 Turbo:lol:

[reeferman]

i need a spot next to my car for chis and his GT

[1980 242GT]

Yeah, what reeferman said.

[coldfusion21]

So i need a swap meet spot. So who would i contact to get that? Are they still available? i was planning on throwing tons of stuff away, this would be a much better solution....

[Lord Tentacle]

share my spot with me for no cost

[coldfusion21]

share my spot with me for no cost

Hmm, that would be sweet. I do have lots of stuff though...

So what time were you planning on arriving to set-up? Should i bring some sort of cover just in case we get some "oregon sunshine"?

[Lord Tentacle]

I was going to buy a 10x10 tent from freds or something
I'm going to camp out in the wagon overnight so i can get a good spot right next to the OVT guys

[coldfusion21]

Wow, hardcore. Yea, i can pick up one of those 10x10 pop up cover things too, and whatever else might be needed. Just let me know. So, i guess i will just head out as early as possible to start setting things up.

Just checking, as its been a few years since i came out, the swap meet is still in the let across the street right?

[Inc3pt]

Cameron

Just finishd detailing the engine bay still lots left to do. Let me know the details and time ect.

[badvlvo]

Is anyone from Cali showing up?

No, I'm more broke than when I was in highschool these days. And with 2 jobs it's hard to coordinate days off.

NEXT YEAR I will drive the 244 up there again, by then it should have all the good **** done to it so I can show it.

[Cameron]

Cameron

Awesome - be here around 8:15.

[Hagar17]

My hoopties is gonna be a no show (as am I ) however to appease the TB gods I will endeavor to repair/upgrade/mod my Volvo this weekend in earnest!


Take lots of pics y'all!

Next year a bigger badder Hagar17 wagon shall roll south.

[B-dub]

Looks like it's going to be a great turn out! Everyone needs to have name tags with their screen name and their real name. lol.

[WeezilUSA]

Have fun guys... the 242 won't start and I've gotta throw in the towel with it for a while... pushed too hard to get it ready for this weekend and I'm burned out.

[Freq]

I'm on the highway back to Seattle. I rode with my dad and his lady and they were out to get parts and leave so i didn't get to enjoy the cars or see if we won the door prize. They didn't call Travis Stern did they? I'd be pissed if i missed out on free iPd stuff.

Also, who's idea to bring the cheerleaders?? I want to shake their hand. :nod:

It was awesome seeing Mad Max 2 in person. Photos don't do a damn thing for it. I was also expecting to see the super widebody 740 w/ the purple stripes there. Kind of a let-down.

[B-dub]

It was a great event! The weather was amazing, hot to boot and I have the lobster-esk look to prove it.

Sorry Bud, I just had too much on my plate for the last couple of weeks. Maybe you could come down for a race, see the whole Portland crew at the track. That will be the best place to see my car anyway.

[262 grand national]

Does anyone have any pictures of the show?

[B-dub]

I have a few I'll upload them now...

It's all good. I don't see enough love for the 740s here and when the chance to see something like that comes along it's really exciting. I'll see about heading down to PDX for an event. Gonna be hard, though, trying to save money with the price of gas for going to Portland and back.

Peace out!

That forrester is rad.

[DALAHASTEN]

looks like a great turn out! tons of nice cars. A little off topic, but I was browsing through pics from last year and stumbled upon this gold 245 lowered on Virgos... looks MINT. Is the owner on t-bricks?

[245GT-Turbo]

Phil, cool shots. I like the fact that you got part of my car in the background... ;-)

-J

[pwschuh]

Looks like a great time. Specs on the twin turbo V-8 242?

[Poik]

First of all there were some really sweet rides there. Second of all, holy **** I never knew how ghetto some rides could be. I thought my 744 was pretty ghetto, but some of the 2s and 7s out in the big parking lot were seriously beat. I mean they make Adrian's car look show quality.

And then I drove one of them home, and now I can't hear.

By the way John, I got it running on all 4 before I drove it up here today ;-). Anybody need a body kit for a 744 that has been slightly modified by a curb?

[245GT-Turbo]

Erik,

Didn't realize that was you... What was the issue?

-J

[Poik]

Replacing the plugs and advancing the spark timing (was fully retarded) made it run good enough to make the drive. It'll be a worthy donor for my red 744 :)

[245GT-Turbo]

LOL, doh! Ah, so that's why I didn't recognize you (or the car for that matter)...

-J

[Caliwagon]

Anyone know whose car this is? I'll be damned if it's not a spitting image of mine, a Red '67 with polished Torq Thrust's, etc...

Yeah, I know they're not Torq Thrusts like mine, but a close variation on the theme. In any event, the similarities between the cars are striking. If only red was my original color :-(

His name is OZ and he lives in Oregon City. I think he's more into actually building cars than talking about building them online :rofl:

He said it hasn't ran yet on the twin turbo system (still building it). I can't wait to see how powerful it is when done!

Its not worth anything if you can not put it to the ground. I think though he has an idea of what he wants for a rear. :P

I finally found time to get some of the pics I took uploaded. Since I haven't seen a picture thread I thought I'd put them here.

As we were driving back to Seattle from the show the guys in the red 1800 were next to us through downtown Tacoma. My dad's fiancee waved and gave 'em a thumbs up. They looked like they were bothered or annoyed by it. :wtf:

Its not worth anything if you can not put it to the ground. I think though he has an idea of what he wants for a rear. :P

Don't quote me on this, but I think he has a 6 speed (Corvette?) transmission, and some sort of american truck rear axle. The car was working fine with the built V8 until he decided to add the turbos.

I thought I saw a volvo cover on the back. I will have to find out his progress over the summer, he is got more done than I do. Looks like it just some tubes and he is done. I sure hope he takes it too the track though.
