(original link i posted on VS http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=40352)

I'm guessing it's going to be on either a Friday or Saturday.

[gsellstr]

Not this coming weekend. I'm outa town. Otherwise I'm usually around weekends. Good thing the red car doesn't need work...

[96DTM850]

We're going to be shooting for the first week of Feb. It's a Sat. on the 4th. One guy suggested a Hooters meet because a lot of Volvos in front of Hooters is cool???? :badboy: Maybe we can get the girls to pose on our cars and I can make a poster print or Calender of it...hehehe:lol:

[Hank Scorpio]

Hooters in Sac?

[gsellstr]

You KNOW I'm cool with that!! Supposedly the one in Natomas is 'better' than the one on Arden. Haven't been to the first, but the latter one seems to have a decent amount of parking, though not right near the building.

[kelley_aj]

Hooters in Sac?

"must get girfriend off my belly, picking crust out of eyes and see "Hooters"!"

2 of them, haven't been though, still suffering from "Hooters" trauma in Tennessee. You know the story, "man those are the best hooters I have seen in years", toothless grin, "why yes they are, and my daddy says they feel real too!"

[96DTM850]

Ergh, com'on guys, can't have a meet in your own backyard all the time...:-P

Feb. 4th; Saturday
Dublin; Hooters

[Sinbad the Sailor]

That is a good Hooters. I got a girlto sign my shirt while I was wearing it last time I was there.

[blu92in99]

[SwedishBrick242...]

(edit: Nevermind, that actually isn't too bad. I forgot exactly where Dublin is)

Whatever, I will probably be able to make it.

[Suffokate]

id like to get some more stuff for the brick tho

[SwedishBrick242...]

Quite alright. We get plenty of stockers showing up for the meets. Its all about sharing ideas, meeting people who love these cars, and just generally having a good time. ;-)

[blarf]

Can't ever be close to the peninsula guys, can it? :-P

Yeah, this should totally be at the Daly City In-N-Out / Krispy Kreme. Near the peninsula, and near desser too. :-D

[pooprah]

[96DTM850]

Glad to see so many of you can make it. We're trying to decide the time? When is everyone good for?

Again,

Hooters in Dublin
Feb. 4th, Saturday
Time???

[SwedishBrick242...]

Since its a Saturday, I am good for anytime. Just don't expect me to get up before 10am :-P

[blarf]

Since its a Saturday, I am good for anytime. Just don't expect me to get up before 10am :-P

Brunch and a cruise FTW! :-P

[96DTM850]

Are there even any girls that early???....hahaha :D

[gsellstr]

DAMMIT all!!! I can't bring the 140. I HATE THIS CRAP.

Ok, explanation may help. Fractured my left leg yesterday. Can't work the clutch. Guess I'll actually wash and clean up the wagon.

I'm open as far as time goes, but I don't think they open til lunchtime.

[SwedishBrick242...]

Oh man Gary, that sucks. Glad to hear you will still be making it though! Way to tough it out ;-)

[blarf]

I'm open as far as time goes, but I don't think they open til lunchtime.

Now, see, if we went to the SF Hooters... there wouldn't be any parking, but we could work up an appetite at Krispy Kreme in the mean time :badboy:

[blu92in99]

...Krispy Kreme...:barf:

[SwedishBrick242...]

:barf:
Should I bring twinkies? ;-)

[96DTM850]

Ergh, u know Twinkies have like what?!?....20 year shelf life :-P :rofl: :oops: :grrr:

[blarf]

Ergh, u know Twinkies have like what?!?....20 year shelf life :-P :rofl: :oops: :grrr:

Mine leaks, but it also doesn't move. Does that count since all the fluid is still in one location? :-P

[gsellstr]

Mine leaks, but it moves, therefore all the leaks are constantly moving and impossible to track down....

[nohbudi]

Mine leaks, but it also doesn't move. Does that count since all the fluid is still in one location? :-P

Good ole ATF leaks..... I love the way ATF leaks even if the car isn't running....

I suppose I will try to be there... I need to do a few things to my car first, but I will try.

[2muchboost4u]

[96DTM850]

Leaks....need some "Depends" or "Tampax" or ones with "wings"...that should stop the leaks :D

That gives me an interesting idea for a paint scheme and matching licence plate "STPLEAK".... :-P

[blu92in99]

That gives me an interesting idea for a paint scheme and matching licence plate "STPLEAK".... :-PI know exactly what you're thinking of on the paint scheme Logan and all I'm gonna say is that fad went out in the early 90's along with the hey-day of the minitruck craze. :-P

...and that plate idea sounds like a VD of some sort. Or, a cure to one anyway. :lol:


-J

[96DTM850]

Ahh well, at least the DD has the decals on it though!
Unless my drugs wear off or I can't move, I'll plan on being there (crutches and all). Hmm, maybe a little 'sympathy' from the women there. :D

[Hank Scorpio]

Good. I won't be the only Norcal guy without his nice ride at the first meet!!!

Sorry man, hope yours is running soon (though we all know the likelyhood of that...).

[blu92in99]

Good. I won't be the only Norcal guy without his nice ride at the first meet!!!Hey, I'm taking my DD too, since the 242Ti won't have the MS installed before this weekend, so stfu. :-P

...and at least your DD doesn't have any body damage.

Not from the Peninsula, but from the city proper. If anyone wants to meet up somewhere near there (say Millpitas or further North), I'd be down.

I commented on the way down there that we had nothing older than a 7-series in our caravan, and nothing at all in the vintage class. My car and myself both feel ashamed. Now if I had the 140, perhaps another pic of the girls woulda been necessary for a little vintage representation!

Next time...

[blu92in99]

Yeah, I wanted to bring the 242 but it just wasn't in the cards...that's why I drove the 744. But! At the meet in March I should have the 242 up and living, possibly MS'd! With only four weeks to go it should be running by then, maybe even have new shocks & tires if my tax return shows up in time. :-D


-Justin

[Steve O]

My motor will still be out of the 242 so the 9 it is.
