Tentative thoughts on gettogether?

[maglinjosvinn]

lets get a show of hands? i got myself my dad and a guy from ionia that all wanna do a meet, maybe the mason thing? i know we shot down the central meet idea, but i'm throwing it out anyways. i'd like to go 2nd week in august or whatever. i'm as versatile as i need to be.

my 'other guy' is driving a fully restored kadette that looks pimp. lol. and that and the 2 gts there, my fathers and mine. he's driving the 1.1 even so thats a treat to look at.

thoughts?

I could meet up the second week of August or so..

LOL! spiffy. you got my only wireloom too... it was still on the side of it! lol. whoops. dad pointed it out after the fact... he said ... you just sold the only stock wireloom for the GT you know. i was like 'CRAP!' lol

but yeah. i'd love to do a second meet.

btw - i got sponsored!

woot.

[BobCGT]

Congrats on your sponsorship!
If you can get your GT gang together in August or so, I can probably meet up with you someplace. The guy over in Chesaning should be fairly close to you also.

I think I can make it. Maybe Bobc and I can "cruise' to Mason if thats where we want to meet. Jim

[BobCGT]

Hi Jim,
I would have no problem heading towards Chesaning to meet up with you to cruise to Mason or wherever. Maybe meet around New Lothrup or ?
Ive had my car since June and this would be its longest road trip!Bob

[Gordy]

hey, if your meet is open to Illinois residents my wife and I might Opel-up!

[maglinjosvinn]

you're more than welcome to join us for sure!

We can definately do mason, i'll see what we can't do about getting a area near the old antique mall or something.

jim

anyone hear from coolchrisp or asdasc lately?

[jgenglerj]

So are we on for Saturday the 12th? I have a wedding that day so I'll have to leave early. Jim

[maglinjosvinn]

that day i might work... but i'll post tomorrow as to what my schedule is. hopefully if no one has massive issues we can do it


regrettably, my gt broke down tonite, and i'm going to be tapping myself out trying to fix it, so i will not be able to provide food stuffs or whatever... i'd like to look at tht 19th as a better option...

[BobCGT]

Hi Dan,
Is Saturday the 12th still on or are you looking at the 19th?
I can make this Sat and I think I can make the 19th,so whatever the group wants Ill try to plan for.Bob

[maglinjosvinn]

i'm going to officially say that the 12th is prolly a bad idea for me, my car is broke down in the driveway and i got 7 bucks to my name to fix it. needless to say i'm not thinkin its gonna happen. lol. either way, the 19th does in fact sound like a much more promising option for my father and i both (he's still gotta put paint on his and i imagine it'll be done by then.)

[BobCGT]

Dan,
I can make the 19th,I guess we will wait to hear from the others.I will email Jim in Chesaning.Bob

[maglinjosvinn]

ok... moving toward the 19th then.

i count 3 people damn sure, that guy from illionis should be given a heads up, still ain't heard from my manta buddy in ionia, but i'll try him again.

i still ain't seen / heard from asdasc, cool, and the other assorted dudes.

[asdasc]

Hi all,
Did I miss it? I haven't been online in a while, but would love to get together at some point. In a couple weeks, my wife and I are going up to the UP for a week of crusing around and hiking, and we are thinking of bringing the GT. It is running well and takes less gas than anything else I have!

[maglinjosvinn]

nope. very specifically didn't happen. was only 3 opelers intent on going... so i just let it drop. we can try again for late sept tho.

[asdasc]

Hi Mag, I am back! It's been a while. I haven't had the GT out for a spin in a long time. I got the block back from the machine shop months ago and haven't touched it. It has been a busy couple of months and I am weeks away from starting another massive project that will fill the winter. Nothing to do with the Opel, but plenty cool. I can tell you more about it once the financing is done. I don't want to jinx it.

It is good to get back on the forum and see all the familier names, still talking about the same old things! It is refreshing and comforting....

Take care, I will try to stop in occasionally. By the way, we didn't end up driving the GT to the UP. Good thing, too, it is a 14 hour drive! We had a blast driving thru the Porkupine mountains. The wife got a new Escape for the trip.
