Who's coming to the big meet??

[SoulCrusher]

Ok, so we have a ton of people saying they are in, or will possibly be in attendance. We also have a few leaning towards not attending, and thats ok too. This whole club idea is more for having fun then any responsibilities as far as mandatory meets etc.

So it seems that July 14th is the date... Am I right STS, lol?
So here is the poll, this will give STS a chance to guage how many of us are going, so that he can have a fair idea of what to expect. With the work he's putting in, I think he deserves an idea of a head count.

So poll away, and let us know the reason for your votes, one way or the other. Thanks all!

Now I'll go back to tending my broken ribs.. lol... Yup, even ol' Grim can get busted up, lmao.

[KWhale]

I voted "likely to attend"....I WANT to go, but need to make sure I'm not working, which I won't know until closer to the event. I got my fingers crossed though.

[ExLx]

July the 14th is a FOR SURE !!! For the berry pickers they may not get the best of the best though. But this is about the CARS !!! Hey put me down for I'M THERE !!!

Looking forward to seeing all the rides and mods.

[Hemissary]

I'll be there...

[Dokey]

I am most likely to show as well. Will have a better idea within the week. My be myself and a buddy.(Wife doesn't like these kind of things) lol

[SoulCrusher]

Dude, great to see you made it over here!!

[Frozen]

Managed to get some time off work, count me in to.

[ExLx]

Moebius and Frozen are there any passengers as well ? I have good news for the wives and children, the berries will be prime pickin. I know this is a guys thing and I just wanted to inform the members showing that if there wives are interested in some #1 grade Alberta soil grown Saskatoon Berries ( and do they ever taste good when there ready ). Also the Monster Truck inflatable is also still going to be here for the kids. Just keeping the members up to date.
Thanks guys.
Mike

[ExLx]

The confirmed list keeps growing. I'm sure many of the hope to show members are going to show. The last week will show the most intrest, hoping for 25+ LX's. It'll make for an awesome group photo that we can show off on the forum.

[ExLx]

Even though the confirmed list really hasn't increased I have recieved pm's from members stating they are showing, so far we have more like 20 members showing. It's looking great for the weekend weather wise. I have also recieved pm's from members who wanted to show but have plans, weddings, trips and work are a couple reasons. But hey there will be more events like this one in the future.

[ExLx]

:bump:

[Hemissary]

Sucks to be me; the daily grind will have me in the lab dealing with design issues due to impending deadlines.

As far as the "ALX" decals go, those who wish one can get ahold of me.

Enjoy the day...

[Raygun]

Is anyone going from Calgary? I am able to make it now and would like to hook up with a few more vehicles if any are leaving from here. Let me know if anyone is interested in travelling up in a group!

Raygun

[SoulCrusher]

Myself and Robbie will be leaving around 10am to head up.. We are in Airdrie if you want to meet up with us. Anyone else interested in joining us for the trip up?

[Raygun]

Where in Airdrie? And yeah I would love to hook up!

[silver7sam]

I'd be interested in making this a convoy...
10 a.m. in Airdrie sounds like it would be a great starting point.

[SoulCrusher]

Thinking about meeting just off the highway on the East side, there is a Tim Hortons just off of the 2nd off ramp if your going Northbound. hopefully we can get a few cars together and head up!

Chris

Is that near the Wendy's and gas station, just before the Dodge dealership?

Sam

[SoulCrusher]

you bet, right there. it's a good place to grab a cup, get some gas if need be and head back out.. Is it OK?

[silver7sam]

Count me in!
Let me know if other arrangements are made, but I think 10 am works perfect. Cheers.

[ExLx]

Hey have you guys ever been passed by a crapper, I picked up one today and got her up to 130km/hr and the walls were caving in. LMAO I set up the monster truck today, man this thing is cool. I picked up paper plates, plastic forks,knives and spoons, plastic cups. Also if anyone wants to bring any steaks or anything for the BBQ I topped up the propane. I have brought in extra tables and cleared out my garage so we can eat in the shade. I will be picking up some burgers, hot dogs ,various patatoe/mac salads and ICE on Saturday morning. All I have left is cut the grass and that doesn't take long.

[ExLx]

One of you guys should PM AWD, I know he would want to join in.

[SoulCrusher]

Dude, Have I ever told you your my hero? Seriously, this thing sounds so well planned, thank you so much for the work you've been putting into this and offering up this space for all of us... Anyone who can make it to this should.

You've really put yourself out there for our benefit, I hope there isn't a parking spot left on your land!!

[ExLx]

LMAO , I even have that covered. I also have been offer the land next door, my neighbour is an awesome guy. If needed we will cut a hole in the fence and and park on his land as well. Him and I are always out cutting our grass at the same time along with consuming many beers. We may even put on a show TRACTOR PULL, tie a chain between the two of us and GIVER. LMAO We both have pretty much the same tractors.

[ExLx]

When I throw and event I try to cover all the bases as you can tell. O ya and I forgot to mention there are berries that are ready for the pickin, I had my fill of them this morning.

[Raygun]

I will also meet you guys at the Tim Horton's. See you tomorrow morning @10:00. Should be a great time.

[SoulCrusher]

LMFAO, nice STS, sounds like fun! Alright, so we have Myself, Robbie, dewm1, Raygun and silver7sam meeting at the Tims in Airdrie at 10 am for the drive up... any other southern members looking to join the convoy? Speak up now, lol!

[KWhale]

Right on STS! It sounds like you will need a couple of days vacation just to recoop from the prep work once this is over! I have also owned a couple of cars that might have qualified for the "flying crapper", but I have never been passed by an actual crapper before!! LMAO

You can add KWhale to the list for Saturday as a definite YES! There will just be the wife and I, and Black Betty of course. We might be later than noon when we get there, but not by much.

Thanks again, and in advance for all the preparations!!

P.S. - Just checked the weather, and don't want to jinx us, but it says Sunny and 33 on Saturday! Whoo Hooo!

It really wasn't hard to prepare for the event and there isn't much left to do. It just sounds like alot but really if you know people things like the high speed crapper and the Monster truck were the only thing that took time but hey I had the monster truck lent to me free for the weekend and the crapper is now mine FREE !
The only thing about this setup really is that I think I lost 10 pounds in the field, damn it's hot. LOL
Hey by the way if anyone should happen to want to camp out tonight and save yourself from the drive tomorrow, your more then welcome. The wife and I were planning on having a fire tonight and anyone is more then welcome to show. Just give me heads up if you are going to show though.

[ExLx]

Some clown put a big moving out sale sign on the corner of my fence, there's the sign to look for on the corner of RR 252. I've got every guy and his dog pulling in my yard now. I'm going to put up a sign on the gate PRIVATE FUNCTION A-LX MEMBERS ONLY.
DAMN IT'S HOT OUT !!! Just sheddin the pounds off.

[silver7sam]

- WE ARE ALL SET TO GO !!! :banana:
- Cracked a cold one and RELAXING :friday:



Remember to spend a little time making your LX look all pretty...errr...manly!!

[SoulCrusher]

Just got my car from the detailer's.... sweet! It's stripped, buffed, smoothed and shiny... got it parked in a garage tonight so it looks all purty for tomorrow, lol.

Oh, and I almost took an offer to trade it in today for an 07 Cherokee SRT8... silver. It was in getting detailed for the showroom, the dealer saw my car and when he saw my drool over the SRT, we started chatting... sticker 62,000, employee pricing 54,000, offered to me for 50,000 new fully loaded and they'll give me 35,000 for my car. Dammit, I haven't even gotten my rims yet!

Dilemma... I think I may have to hold off on this one though... see you all tomorrow!

[ExLx]

$50,000 for the Cherokee is a smokin deal. And if there going to give you $35,000 I WOULD DO IT !!! Wouldn't think twice, all I had offered for my SRT was $35,000 on trade for the Viper and my car has only 4000 km's. I'm just going to buy the Viper NO TRADES when they finally get the price of the 2008 with 600hp.
See you tomorrow Chris, I would seriously think about the trade in.

[dewm1]

Mr. SMSRT8,,, you said you picked up various food items,"burgers, hot dogs ,various patatoe/mac salads",,, holy,,, what do we need to bring?, chairs, malt beverages, hats, sunscreen,,,, what else?, anything we can do or bring other than our smiling faces?

Nice - can't wait to see it. Where do you get it done at? I've been looking for a reasonable shop.

I'll have to quiz you about it tomorrow. See you at Timmy's @ 10am.

[ExLx]

Hey Silver my wife said grab her a LARGE TRIPLE TRIPLE !! LMAO Just joking around here, we have finally finished everything here. I had a couple friends show tonight and they let their kid bounce around in the monster truck for a while, MAN THIS THING IS COOL around 20ft tall. As you can see in the pic's it's taller then my garage.
My wife is going to run into Leduc in the morning and grab ice and thats it we are READY TO ROCK. Here are a couple pic's of the TRUCK !!! :chickdance:AND IT'S A DODGE

[SoulCrusher]

[ExLx]
