4/18 Mangohick MD Crew Caravan Thread!!!

[ZVOLVO240]

Attention MD Crew!!!! :-D :

Ive have arranged a meetup with a few other T-brickers/NA-Brickers;-) for the Mangohick Meet at the IKEA in College Park on the morning of April 18th.

So far we have:
Blazinslow
Outofthebox,
Lovethellama

and possibly Ricepatrol will be there.

I was thinking maybe we can catch some breakfast there around 8:30 and then around 9, roll down to Virginia to Lawrence's Knox Motorsports so that we would arrive at 11.

I figure its about a 2 hours drive from College Park to Ashland. 1 and a half hours, if we all drive like we did at IKEA in PA. :nod:

If anyone else is gonna meet up with us, post that $hit :cool:

Thanks
~Will

[outofthebox]

Depends on the lady situation, what route is the group taking down, may meet up with you if it passes by her place/ where we I can meet up with her without her having to backtrack coming north to go south again.

[blazinslow]

Well Prob ride down Rt 301 , to 30 over to his house. its a nice scenic ride. from ikea it should take us like 2 and a half hours, and i have a GPS, so we cant get lost. cant wait to drive my new car down.

[ZVOLVO240]

Nate, you better bring your ass up to this meet. You have 2 weeks to request off of work. DO IT!

[lovethellama]

bring my 50 dollars.

And if you don't have my $50, at least bring that pilot bearing from the motor. It's also worth $50 and not an off-the-shelf part.

[blazinslow]

yes sir.Bill That was the plan.

[ZVOLVO240]

is it a 240 at least??

[blazinslow]

i say nothing

[ZVOLVO240]

if its a 740 or 940 i will not be mad, but i will not be very happy. Im assuming the blue turbo had its last days?

[blazinslow]

Its not a 740 or a940. Bits black. And nice!!! And the 240. Is just parked so I can build it unless matt wants it

[ZVOLVO240]

ok cool.

anyone else comin along with us?

[500dollar744ti]

dunno, i am under the impression that i am going with MrBill in my 760.. not sure when we're leaving.

[MrBill]

if its a 740 or 940 i will not be mad, but i will not be very happy. Im assuming the blue turbo had its last days?

I bet it's an old merc, if that's still where he's working.

And if the blue car gets junked, there's a bunch of stuff I want :lol:

Yeah it looks that way. Me, you, luke too. Maybe crash at your place friday night? Oh wait that's tiki-bar opening. Crash at my place friday night. leave saturday morning from my place. We can meet with the goofballs I guess, but they're an hour+ out of the way seeing how close 301 is to me.

[blazinslow]

no its a volvo. :-D and the 83 car is not getting junked just parked untill i get enoough money to build it. have no idea when The F*** that will be since i make **** money.

and when i say new that means fairly new . not just an old car new to me

[ZVOLVO240]

Well Bill, if its so out of the way then, we'll just meet you there or something. God forbid you be seen with the "goofballs":roll::)

[TerribleOne]

If you guys wanna see me dyno my car you'll probably wanna take 95 to Ashland where Lawrences shop is.. It's alot faster.

[blazinslow]

ok give me the address we are going to(lawrences shop)

[TerribleOne]

10998 Leadbetter Road Ashland Va 23005

[ZVOLVO240]

ok. we may be able to do that. but outofthebox needs to catch his lady on the way there. im sure we'll be able to fanagle something.
:-D

[MrBill]

91 miles. win.

[ZVOLVO240]

HAHAH sweet! Vince, or anyone for that matter... Will that AW 71 fit in my trunk easily and not make me ride low and dirrrty, or should I take my back seat out and strap it back there??

[outofthebox]

ok. we may be able to do that. but outofthebox needs to catch his lady on the way there. im sure we'll be able to fanagle something.
:-D

Looking like she'll be with me showing up to Ikea in the morning. So add our silver twins to the roster. :nod:

[lovethellama]

im working until 4 saturday and sunday morning, so someone should wake me up....

[ZVOLVO240]

Box, thats good news! Im thinking a pre=virginia photoshoot is in order????

Nate, If you want you can crash at my place. Ive got a small guest room with lots of crap in it, but still a bed. We will get there on time.

[TerribleOne]

You guys are always welcome to bring a tent and camp out in the back yard!

You'll be fine putting the trans in your trunk.. I've got industrial saran wrap here so we can wrap it and drop it in your trunk.. It made it here in my trunk from lawrences just fine.. with the exception of not being able to light the tires in second..

[outofthebox]

Brendan, I always thought you were in my corner :-( :-P If it takes a little longer to gather the money, and the wits to do it right, then Im fine with that. I like to catch as much as I can before it happens. Plus Im still learning :-D

if i go it won't be in the 240, but i am right off the exit and you could grab em in the morning...

//edit: or i guess i can bring them... its not like i haven't had 18 wheels in the c70 before

[ZVOLVO240]

I dont have a lot of money right now, but how much would you be asking for them?

[TerribleOne]

How much you want for the good set?

[lovethellama]

How much you want for the good set?

hey you dont belong in this thread! :)

[bdimag]

[TerribleOne]

Naaaah.. I'm just bein nosy

[ZVOLVO240]

HAHA!! YAY GEMINIS FOR ME!!! my car is gonna be so weighted down after this meet... GAWD!!!

4 wheels and an automagic trans...

Ok so whats our plan MD crew? Still on for 9 AM ish IKEA @ College Park?

[outofthebox]

9am ish works for me. Damn you and the gem's. Least you and I will be getting new wheels. No more steelies for me!

[bdimag]

Will - why don't you come grab the geminis in the morning and you can leave the other wheels behind for the day... i'm 3/4 mile from 95 and it's 1 road; straight shot to the highway...

otherwise what time are you leaving from MD after meeting-up?

[bdimag]

oh and they've apparently been sitting on the street view footage for my house for about a year (and they just put it up)... i see my old roomates jetta parked in the spot where i keep my 240's :-( i was hoping they'd catch the action lol

[ZVOLVO240]

Ill just pick em up at VA. Id rather not stop and start shuffling wheels around. We'll have plenty of time to take care of all of that when we're there.

[ZVOLVO240]

Some Phone numbers on here would be good so we know whats goin on.

Bdimag pm me your number and name.
