iPd meet 5/21/05 roll call

[Hank Scorpio]

Who's going?

[coldfusion21]

you mean from so-cal, or just in general? i think you can count 90% of OVT in, including me.

In general. Just curious :-D

[GTJordan]

*raises hand*

Jordan

[PWRPUFF]

I'm going. 1000-some miles each way. :-D Staying at the Comfort Suites Portland Airport, which is walking distance to iPd on the next street over.

-- Kane

[swedishiron.com]

We will be there (My Dad, my best friend Don & I) in our big gray tent and our blue bins parts boxes. Dunno if JohnL is gonna show up or not.
We'll be staying at the Comfort Suites on Sandy - not too far from IPD and not as close to the airport = better night's sleep. The one on Sandy Blvd also has a nicer breakfast buffet to cure those late-night hangovers (who me?).
JD

[Greenchunks]

quite tempting, I finish my finals on may 20th at 3:30, hrmmmmm. But dammit, i leave for New yokrm on I think the 24th, don't know if I'll have time

[CountOfNowhere]

HA! There's no WAY I'm gonna miss this...

[NChoy]

Like Jared says, pretty much all of OVT's members will be there.

If things go my way, I'll unveil my 745Ti to the world at the venue.

Possible cruise afterward?

[adrianpike]

*raises hand*

[Dan242tic]

1 in 25 chance I might go, lol. Depends on some loose ends I'm tying up here. I'm so ready for a road trip.

[andrewlcraft]

Already re-arranged my work schedule. :-D

[budweiser_man]

I think I might be able to go, my job keeps telling me that I have to work that day though.



oh wait I work at ipd so yeh I will most likely be there.

[262 grand national]

Like Jared says, pretty much all of OVT's members will be there.

If things go my way, I'll unveil my 745Ti to the world at the venue.

Possible cruise afterward? What about unveiling it at the track the night before?

[coldfusion21]

definatly for the drive after. i think we could get a good crowd going.

Gorge run anyone?

[NChoy]

What about unveiling it at the track the night before?


I might just do that. But no racing. It would be just my luck to break the car the night before the show.

[Hank Scorpio]

Sweet Im excited!! I haven't seen you guys in ages :D

[pooprah]

Im going, doug lets get a cali carivan going

[Hank Scorpio]

Leaving Sacramento @ 10 on friday. If you can get down there your welcome to join us.

[pooprah]

ummm its next month right? doug your such a post whore

[Hank Scorpio]

Yes it is. Were leaving May 20th, 10 am.

Im not a post whore. It'd be pointless to try to setup carvans the night before we leave.

[PWRPUFF]

10am Friday ... yep, that'll work!

-- Kane

[262 grand national]

The fastest I have made it up here to Wa from Santa Rosa was 8 1/2 hrs in my 142E. I had my foot all the way to the floor the whole time. You should be able to make it here by 5 or 6pm. The rush hour trafic in OR is really bad comming into Portland. This should be a fun swap meet this year for sure.

[262 grand national]

I might just do that. But no racing. It would be just my luck to break the car the night before the show.

I have a set of slicks you could use :) Is peter going to bring his wife car wink wink..

[Slobodan]

I have a prior engagement. I really wanted to go. I still wish I could do both. but I just can't. not even for the cruise afterwards. Man this sucks.

[towerymt]

I hearby announce that I am officially not attending the IPD meet for the 5th year in a row. I've never attended, so I guess that streak is infinite, but I only count the years I knew about it and didn't go.

[reeferman]

yes ill go but no car in the show for me.


the days planned out show ,drinks and then the after party(more drinks).

same as last year.i think

tony

[luke242ti]

i'll definetly be there and the hangout time/parties around it!

[Hank Scorpio]

10am Friday ... yep, that'll work!

-- Kane

Cool bud. I assume your coming up I5?

I'll figure out a good point to meet up (Probably at the shell/chevron station on I5 and Bond/Laguna BLVD ext) and head up from there. I wouldn't plan on speeding with me to much... my insurance is bad enough as it is. Probably just run about 75 all the way up :D

Doug

You're coming?! Sweet!

Of course, count me in. (As Jared mentioned, all of OVT, Id say, except maybe 1 or 2 members because of other stuff)...

[MikeHardy]

sorry can't come as i'll be 6-8 thousand miles away and unable to attend.

oh wait wrong country.

Yeah, I-5. Located on the map ... that should work. Just gotta figure a reasonably priced place to stay anyways for at least two - a fellow SCVCOA member will be carpooling too.

-- Kane

[budweiser_man]

I turn 21 2 days before so what ever happens after the event will be most likely not remembely for me at least. so what is going on after the meet anyway for sure a cruise or other?

[jamomac]

I'll be there for sure.

[Sean]

I'm gonna go up there, If anyone wants to crash on their way up from south. I am in Albany (about an hour away) and got plenty of room. I'll probably be going with a carload of **** to get rid of.
Sean

[grebnut]

im definitely hoping to be there... looking forward to it for sure!

ben

[klr142]

Mmmmm yessssssss......

142 will be stripped for action on Friday night, and will be at the show looking partially painted, partially junk, and partially prepped for paint and who knows what else...

My mom will be bringing her 1991 244 to try and sell for $4500+...

[Yea, Right]

Can't make it this year although Ole will most likely bring one of my cars. I had to decide between Amsterdam/Barcelona with my wife or the garage sale. I'd love to see you guys maybe at Davis/Thill?

[Inc3pt]

Bummer you cant make it, but I guess when you're married, they come before the bricks... :-P I wont be able to make it to Davis because I graduate from high school like...the next day, but hopefully not too long into summer we can have something where you join us, eh Peter? :-D

[Yea, Right]

This summer will be a Volvo partying festival unrivaled by any other!

[The Aspirator]

I hope to be there. Is there anything special we have to do if we want to display our cars?

We should have a Turbobricks.com tent where we can gather, I wanna meet some of you guys!

[Hank Scorpio]

Im showing with 4 other VS guys. All arranged ahead of time :-D

[coldfusion21]

mm, last year we picked a time and place to meet. shall i suggest the same? possibly at dougs car (being EVERY body knows what it looks like)?

[luke242ti]

Good idea on the meeting time Jared.
We could pick out a spot in the parking lot for the OVT club with a spot next to it for TB?

Another idea is for everyone to have name tags with their screen names on TB/VS/CV/OVT.

take care

[pooprah]

Another idea is for everyone to have name tags with their screen names on TB/VS/CV/OVT.

Thats what i was thinking Also if your not lazy it be even more helpful if you printed your avitar on the nametag too it will be more familar

[luke242ti]

Thats what i was thinking Also if your not lazy it be even more helpful if you printed your avitar on the nametag too it will be more familar

Good idea. Though that might be a pain.

Name tag could contain the following:
Name
Screen Name
Car you drive

[Dan Meifert]

I will be there if I don't go to Maine with my lady that week.

[grebnut]

Yaya! I'm so stoked for this event. I'm also bored and procrastinating from doing homework. Boo Hoo... ;-)

Anyway, I'm glad to see so many people are going to be showing up!

Ben

[Hank Scorpio]

I'll just be the guy w/out pants on

[budweiser_man]

I'll just be the guy w/out pants on


I will be the guy with the ipd shirt on

[PWRPUFF]

I'll just be the guy w/out pants on
:rofl:

You realize that many people have gotten acquainted to only recognizing your vertical smile ... :-D

Me ... I'll just wear a Powerpuff shirt; and most of you know what my car (http://www.powerpuff.net/volvo/forest.jpg) looks like anyways, so ... just imagine a million dead bugs plastering the front, however.

-- Kane

[budweiser_man]

so how many people are going to park there car on the street the day before to save there spot.

people do it every year for some reason, dont know why; but they do.

no one better park on my usual spot, right next to the curb. where ever that might be

[PWRPUFF]

Nah, not really the night before, but just pretty early in the morning. Last year, I moved my car there at like 6-something, and there were a few other already.

Not that such is really that big of a deal ... I just like the closer spots because I end up buying too much stuff sometimes. :-D

-- Kane

[volvogeek]

I'll be there, though not so early... Working 'till 3am kinda leaves little time for sleep. Plus, I'm driving up to Seattle afterwards to meet with some gamer geek friends over the weekend. :-D As for my car? It's the ugly red one. :badboy:

[IRoll240]

yes yes yes.... Ipd show.... so much fun..I will bring out my wagon....my stereo will be done but my motor swap wont so I dont think i will be popping my hood or parking in the ipd lot...
but I got some new toys for this years show and it will be cool to everyone else's cars woot woot!!!!! Erik :)

[black740t]

oh ya, you can count me in. i have the days crossed off on the calendar........lets see..... if only i could count...ooh doughnuts! :-P this will be my first event ever, newbie here and excited about it. hopefully i will meet some locals here. sitting in an empty dark room by myself is starting to get kinda boring now. :rofl:

[byte1032]

J/K (sorry NA guys)


tony

[holtzboy]

There's a slight possibility I will be there in my silver 84 242ti.. otherwise its old yeller with plastic e-code turn signal lenses.

[Bready]

The Prik is Down!

Try to actually go without a hangover this time - every year I seem to be hungover. Once had a conversation with Paul Grimshaw and the whole time I wanted to claw my eyes out, fall on the ground and weep.

How many are heading down from up north beside Jordan - I can be a midway stop over perhaps if needed.

KTP

[Hank Scorpio]

JB the journal is coming up to iPd with me btw.

[Tuff240]

Me and Ole will have to flip a coin to see who gets to drive the race car over there. :-P
***Heads to store to buy double headed coin***

[BabyBlue242]

its a date

[Kirby]

I'm in. Was just in oregon but I'd be down for another 8hour drive:P

[NChoy]

Pat... you're not bringing yours to the show?

BTW, there's two cars that need to get to IPD... the 960 and the 744. Chances are, Ole's got the 744 covered.

I was just kidding around.

I'll bring my 245, not show quality though. More like a daily driver that's not driven daily. :-P

[luke242ti]

Not show quality!? From what I saw at the V shop I would call that show quality. It is purty :)

Original paint has lots of flaws (scratches), drives me crazy. I'll give her a repaint in a year or 2 I guess. Have other plans that are more important so she'll just have to wait. ;-)

[klr142]

If anyone needs a car driven to the meet, I'm available... My mom will be bringing up her car, and I don't have any cars that are anywhere NEAR showing off, even in the hidden parking lots... :-(

[Two245Turbos]

Is there a caravan from Sea-Tac?
Ron

[grebnut]

I am literally a minute from the Tacoma Mall...post a time for you Seattle Brickers and we'll be there...

[DurableSwedish]

[Bready]

What time does everyone plan on getting to Portland? That will gauge what time to meet in the AM at Tacoma Mall.

I'm just going for the party so I have no real interest of getting there super early.

I will of course sacrifice for the good of the whole.

KTP

[volvoposer]

im going to be there for sure...ill be the one without a volvo, i am not even driving, but ill definitly be there.

[Vovo poser]

count me in too!

[RedFridge]

Can't wait.
My car will be the red 242 with the "Can you fix my dent" folder on the side of the car with a pen and paper.

My rear quarter panel needs to be pounded out.

If anyone does panel repair, either puddy and prime, or wants to quote me on a full paint job...scribble your name down will ya?

Have a great time at the meet....a blast every year.

(i do that on a regular basis...) whatever works. if ya'all want to leave pretty early and stop in oly for a minute to let me show up, i will distribute my cell number via pm.

I know someone who does good work at good prices. Connect with me at the show and you can see his work (on my wagon). I'll have his number on my cell phone. His name is Yuri.

[RedFridge]

Thank you Nick...I appreciate it.

You think you can PM me with his number to get the ball rolling?

I would rather give my money to a worthy bodyguy....especially one a fellow volvo owner recommends.

Thanks my friend.

Oh yeah....to stay on topic...enjoy the IPD meet...see you there.

[262 grand national]

Weezilusa Has an item tha I am buying and found out he has to work. So would anyone be willing to throw it in the back of there wagon? Just finding out right now, He might have a friend coming down also, just want to cover my butt. :)

[Two245Turbos]

OK...Well, I tell y'all what, I'm gonna drive by the Tacoma Mall (big sign next to freeway)at 6 am and if no one is there I'll just boogie on down by my lonesome...

Slight change of plans ... will need to take care of some DMV stuff on Friday, so Thursday night, we're staying in Williams, CA (1 hour north of Sac.). This give us a little "headstart" ... hopefully I can keep fast enough ahead that by the time I'm done, you folks would have caught up with me. The DMV further north in Yreka ... which usually has like NO lines.

My cel is 626-893-0547 ... if at least one of you NorCal folks could give me a call later this afternoon with your plans, that'll help us meet up somewhere along the way.

Dunno what time exactly I'll be there, but hopefully I can get a good spot for <a href='http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=37285'><big><i><b>THIS!</b></i></big></a>

Wish me luck!

I should be there sometime between 9 and 10AM.

And you guys, I MIGHT need a ride afterwards, very likely not, just because we'd take care of the final sale at a later time, but there is a slight chance...
