That's the best way to organize an event; no show competition, no bs, just owners getting together to enjoy cars and company; then make 'em go fast!

Live in southeast BC about 130 miles from LA so distance isn't the issue but timing is. Will be in your town this coming weekend to visit the grandkids but may be able to convince wifie that she needs another week to finish all her shopping LOL. Good luck with your planning. :rock:

I'll be in LA that weekend BUT working with the CPR 2816 Steam Locomotive. I (actually We, my wife and I) are hosts of the passenger coaches. I would have loved to go... havn't had a weekend (or any day for that matter) off since April or May. Try to see it on the 27th crossing THE bridge or in Kipp Yard.
For other Albertans there is any Car Show/ Railway event tommorow (Aug 12th) in Airdrie.. from what I have heard so far it sounds biggish.

The Airdrie show got postponed for 2 weeks.. weather was crap... and to make matters worse, it's now on the 26th! Son-Of-A! Airdrie is my home town... it's tough to say I don't want to be there, but thats when this little gathering is taking place... oh the humanity!

Hello people;
I'm a proud new MRT owner .. just found this forum and it's sure nice to find some Alberta Magnum owners.
Me, the girlfriend and "Lucille" (my 2006 silver steel metallic R/T) will be there on Saturday. Unfortunately we have other commitments for Sunday. Any word yet on where in Lethbridge we'll be meeting? Henderson Lake or the Enmax Centre?
I'm looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hey, isn't Taber corn on the shelves? You guys with Magnums could pay for your trip by stocking up and selling to your freinds and family. Have fun everyone but yearly family get togethers take priority.:cry:

Guys... I have been volun"told" to be at a baby shower for a friend of my girlfriend's on Saturday.. This friend also happens to be my boss's wife.
This has put a dent in my plans on joining all of you and I am sorry. I hope that there is another one in the works soon, as I was really looking forward to finally putting faces to names. Plus cruising with a few other LX's always gets me smiling. Please have a safe and fun weekend, and have a few bevvies for me.
BlackSunshine is actually more like BlackSlightlyOvercast at this point...*sigh*

magram .. thanks again for springing for eats and drinks. Jane and I had a wonderful time chatting with you and the missus. You're the man who took the initiative to try and get an Alberta Club going so I think you should be the "Grand Pooba" overseeing any other local club(s) that get rolling.
Let's all make a point of staying in touch .. might I suggest we exchange names/addresses/phone numbers/email addies?

Hey silver7sam I might still be interested in those headlights.
I also have a K&N drop in filter for sale if anyone is interested. It's for the 5.7 hemi, I was going to give it away that night to the person who traveled the furthest, oh well maybe next year if I don't sell it.

08-27-2006, 07:22 PM
hi magram ..
Don't know if you saw silver7sam's thread about getting a Calgary club rolling but i made a suggestion:
"when folks bring their cars in for service, they get a leaflet or something that invites them to join our club"
Whaddya think?
Same here, Morgan .. next time you and Hilary are in Calgary, feel free to stop in.
PS- can't wait to have the UPS delivery guy show up again .. I'm aching to get the KW coil-overs and Hotchkis sway bars under "Lucille". Jane said that the car felt pretty "floaty" when I took a sweeping bend on the highway at 205 kph! No s**t, Sherlock!
magram
08-27-2006, 11:02 PM
Ya, that's a great idea go right to the source, dealerships will also have records of all the mag's that they've sold. If you find a dealership that will work with you on this, they should have no problem attaching a flyer to their outgoing mail ( surveys, sales, recalls, reminder's that it time to service your ride, you know all that stealership B.S.)
Speaking of UPS my Pirelli's should be arriving tomorrow I will post some pics
