NEC/MA/CT/RI/NH/NY Fall Cookout and Get-Together, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26TH, 2008

[volvo940tuner]

Hey you NE and area brickers. We had a small get together at my place today, would have liked to see more people there..but looks like there was too short notice, and people were stuck working and such..so I figured I'd plan this in advance.

What?
Fall Cookout and get together at my parent's house. I have a decent size yard, large residential neighborhood street and driveway for parking, and a grill and porch for cooking and lots of food.
We'll work on our bricks (I have a decent selection of tools here, all sorts), talk BS, check out each others cars, and maybe head out for an area drive and snap some photos.

When?
<font size= 16>
THIS MEET HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO LACK OF PARTICIPANTS </font size>

[volvo940tuner]

Excellentt! I took you off the "maybe".
Bring whatever you'd like. Chips, soda, anything to throw on the grill, whatever you see fit at a cookout. The more people chip in, the better!

[Fuller]

I already talked to ian about food. Im gonna bring some dogs and buns. If anyone has any parts or anything there trying to sell we could turn this into a little swap meet. I have a FMIC I wanna get rid of that id definatly trade for a BOV.

:cheers:

[Matt]

Sorry mate, I can't attend. Way too short on funds. :-\

[villageidiot8709]

so, my motor is apart for stage 0.5 or so and there seems to be no way for me to find the time before this meet to reassemble it. sorry guys

[Body Massage]

I'm still leaning towards maybe. With all the rain this weekend I may want to stay in and clean my house. But we'll see. Unfortunately I doubt I'll have the ES on the road by then.

[volvo940tuner]

if its raining sunday, no meet

[Body Massage]

Word on the street is that it'll be raining. :-(

But if it just gets postponed, I may have the 1800ES on the road by then and can take it!

[volvo940tuner]

i just checked the weather
it says 40% chance of rain. so as of now, THE MEET IS ON

[Mblesso]

Sorry mate, I can't attend. Way too short on funds. :-\

need a ride if I end up going?

[HolyCrapItsDawson]

Yo matt! Wanna wagon-train it up there?

[2fast4u]

wow. good timing bump. I forgot about it. For the first time in a year, I will have a brick to attend a meet. unless Mike(volvo944ti) is installing MS on his car, I am there!:spin:

[740Weapon]

i am out.

see all at SCD.

[volvo940tuner]

list updated
as of now, the meet is still on. looks like 30% chance of rain, so 90% chance of a meet!

[BoostedSwede]

I heard it might be raining in the morning, but then clearing for the afternoon. So if it's raining at 8:00 am on Sunday, it might still be ok for later.

[volvo940tuner]

[AHox244+T]

So what was the price on that efan if I make it up your way? :P

[volvo940tuner]

[HolyCrapItsDawson]

If its rainy Sunday morning you can count me out... although I will try my best if it clears up.

If I can fit it in the trunk I think I can bring it. You have a garden hose?

[volvo940tuner]

If I can fit it in the trunk I think I can bring it. You have a garden hose?

yes sir!

[Fuller]

Somebody bring some FWD offset 17"s that I can buy, but let me know a price before hand!

[volvo940tuner]

ok this meet is on if theres a fire pit!
anyone bringing food/beverages?

[Fuller]

Sure, what do you want me to bring?

[volvo940tuner]

anything you wanna bring! sodas, chips, stuffs to throw on the grill..

[BoostedSwede]

I think I can still do this....but there's a good chance I'd have to leave around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. If it's still on, then I'll do my best to show up!

[volvo940tuner]

yeah its still on. we'd love to have you!
i'm not sure what time we'll be wrapping things up, whenever everyone needs to go. probably no later than like 6 or 7, since people probably have work/classes the next day.
whatever you guys can do to help out with bringing food or drink is great. and yes, ursan, if you can bring the fire bowl, that would be epic. i have like 10 lawn chairs to put around it, maybe someone else can bring a few?

[Ursan]

yes sir!

Ok,ay, I can most likely bring the firebowl, but I don't think I can fit wood. Is there a please nearby you that sells wood?

I almost wish I had a pickup as my worksite has wooden pallets.

Actually, we have a ton of wood here..we have a giant firewood pile in my side yard, as well as a few rows of nicely stacked firewood in the backyard!
Just bring the fire bowl, and maybe a chair or two! :)

[CoPa85]

directions from providence or rt24/boston.... wherever is faster?

[volvo940tuner]

from providence its very easy.
get yourself to RT 495 North. from there, follow it all the way to the "Milford/Medway" exit.
Off the exit, bear right..and continue down the road. About 1/4 mile down the road, you will enter Medway.
Keep following this road for a good 2-2.5 miles or so, you will go through a 4-way intersection with a dunkin donuts, keep going straight.
eventually you'll get to this part where wheres flashing yellow lights, bear right.
at the set of lights, take a left..this is route 109. follow this road all the way down, you'll go past a BK, Mobil, Shell, another Dunkin Donuts.
At the next 4-way intersection, take a left. My street is about 3/4 of a mile on the right. My house is the last one on the left, 11 Sun Valley Drive.
Hope this helps.

I'm not sure I can fit the firebowl. The 780 has a smaller trunk than one would think.

But I have folding chairs.

lol, we need not the chairs if there is no firebowl to sit around ;-)

[Body Massage]

The 780 actually has a huuuuuge trunk. I've got less room in the C70 than I ever did in the 780. Maybe it'll fit in the 1800 if I get it running?

Woo! Think you can help Ursan get it over here? It would be a nice addition to the get together, and I have plenty of wood here to keep the firing going all afternoon.

Anyone else know if they can come yet?

[CoPa85]

sounds good... wish the 242 was finished, but ill bring the Daily driver 244+T.

Yeah. My fire bowl is about 4' across. I might be able to fit the bowl part, but the frame is another matter. Anyone with a wagon help me out?

[marshcat]

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I want to go...maybe, if hell freezes, I could come.

Any chance of having one around Thanksgiving? Or from Dec 14-Jan 2?

[volvo940tuner]

Yeah. My fire bowl is about 4' across. I might be able to fit the bowl part, but the frame is another matter. Anyone with a wagon help me out?

how large is teh bowl part?

[Body Massage]

1800 is coming off the road, so no wagon from me. The engine crossmember is rotting out.

[Ursan]

how large is teh bowl part?

40" I won't fit in my trunk, I tried it.

I'm only off exit 26/495. Anyone coming from the north? or west on 290? I'm RIGHT there off 85 & 20.

[BoostedSwede]

edit: Just realized I can't make this meet. Need to pick up my boyfriend at 1:00 in Maynard...he's coming home from NY and is dropping off his rental car. Sorry guys!!!

[Ursan]

'nuther one bites the dust.

[Body Massage]

My sister's S60 has roof racks..... we could strap it to the roof!!!

Kidding of course, I don't like driving her car, no turbo.

[kildea]

'nuther one bites the dust.

and it looks like your ratio is getting worse at that.

[volvo940tuner]

and it looks like your ratio is getting worse at that.

eh? are you coming man?

[project volvo]

not going i have too much on my plate these days, have fun and keep it gangster

[volvo940tuner]

guys, i need to know by saturday who is coming and who isn't.
if we only have like 2 or 3 people, im canceling the meet.

[HolyCrapItsDawson]

At this point I could go either way... I have a lot of stuff to do at home but if a decent amount of people say they are going then I'll make the trip...

[Ursan]

I'm still going if it's still on. You're only like 25 minutes from me.

[volvo940tuner]

<font size= 10> IMPORTANT! </font size>
OK guys, these are the only YES people I have on the list:
-CoPa85
-Ursan
-Body Massage
-HolyCrapItsDawson
-Fuller


ANYONE ELSE? I NEED TO KNOW TONIGHT OR TOMORROW. IF WE DON'T HAVE AT LEAST 2-3 MORE PEOPLE I AM CANCELING THIS MEET. ALSO, CAN ANYONE HELP URSAN GET THE FIRE BOWL HERE? THANKS.

[volvo940tuner]

ok, no update? awesome.
it looks like we only have 5 definite YES people going to this. if i can't get at least 2 more on the list today, this meet will be canceled.
come on guys, don't do this in the usual turbobricks fashion, i need to know!

[volvo940tuner]

due to lack of people being able to come, this meet has been CANCELLED!!!!!!

[Ursan]

:(

[volvo940tuner]

sorry guys!
had this not gone down in true turbobricks fashion, where 80% of people can't go, and if people actually didn't let me know at the last minute (with the exception of a few), it would have been a great day for a meet.

[Body Massage]

Good thing it got cancelled!

I got paged for work so many time this weekend I haven't had much sleep! I just woke up!

[Ursan]

Sunny & 64°.




Winter meet? At a restaurant? Something right off 495? There's a 99 right off 24a & b.

[gm3100]

I travel up 495 or 128 at least once a month.

[240T man]

I'll be up there from the 19th till after Thanksgiving, but that's probably a bad time for most people.

[volvo940tuner]

idk we will see.
