Feb 23 2004, 02:12pm
As of this momment Count me in. But when we deside where we are goona meet i need an address so i can get on map quest and get directions, cuz i get confused easly, and i hate bein a half hour late because i took a wrong turn........ AS FOR EATIN, IS THERE A MC DONALDS!!!!!!! its cheap... (or burgerking, arbies, toxic hell... etc.)

so to sum up my rambeling, yes i will try my hardest to b there.

Feb 23 2004, 06:47pm
I knew that everyone would change it up and crap. there shouldn't be any rearraging to make it easier for people to be able to come if you can make it cool if not see ya at the next one. This is the same thing that happened last time. Everyone wants to change it with like a week to go. Well now everybody is gonna do it a month early. I have a good idea. Why dosen't everyone just go to the same spot, hang out by yourself for like 10 min and then leave a note for when ever the next person comes. Or just have a big poster and whenever you get there sign it like "I was here" and then take off. These meets get so frustrating. When someone takes the time to set something up, we all talk about it for like a month, and everyone is like cool, or I can't make it but i'll come to the next one. and all that hoopla, everything ends up getting screwed.

Hey it's cool about autorama I'll come to the show, I won't have the rover, but oh well.

I can understand that everyone has a different scheduals, but come on people start something and stick to it.

Flame me...Peace out

2002BlkKhaos
Feb 23 2004, 08:44pm
I'll be there, I'll just be leaving a little early. I just want to know where we are meeting in Brighton. There's a park downtown I thought, just the lot isn't too big.

Just someone figure out some place to meet...

There is a Red Robin there...
8522 W Grand River Ave, Brighton, MI 48116

I don't know or remember where it is exactly round abouts in Brighton. Just an idea cause the food was pretty good at the last one in Novi.

Nice job steppin' to the plate there Justin...

Rangeron17s
Feb 24 2004, 07:57pm
Im not changing nothing.. im just saying thats 2 chances for spring people will have to show to either one or the other!.. myself ill be at both.. ok guys im off to work then im pullin the truck into autorama at 330 wen. ttyl. hope to see a few of you!

Feb 25 2004, 12:03pm
I met someone at school today that has a civic and likes custom mini trucks. I am talking him into coming with up to the meet just to have more people and give him some ideas. No he is not a sticker charger or a total ricer. Just sayin' I might be bringing some other folks with me for a bigger meet, well a little bigger.

I was wondering on how long you all were planning on staying there and whatnot. Also what time the meet was gunna start gathering? I don't want you guys to change anything on my accord, I was just wondering since I am going to see Trapt at Harpos that night and the doors open there about 7:30ish... I am just tryin to figure out my time frame here.

Well thanks for anymore information on what is going to be happening. It's actually coming up pretty quick seeing as Febuary is almost over.

Later all

Yeah you brought home boy last time with the contour, and I really wnated to check it out but we were so involved into looking at yours, then everybody split after that.

I say bring as many as possible, it's be sweet to have a big crowd.

I thew it down just to get the ideas rolling, I didn't know what everyone wants to do... We need to make sure there is plenty of room for the meet and whatnot, it looks like this is going to be a little larger than the last one. Who knows... I just dunno how much room there is up there.

More ideas! lol...

i have never really been to brighton, i might of stopped there once for gas.....other than that i ve only been through it.....but i think my dad told me that there was a mall just off tha highway or something like that.........if there is theres normally lots of restuarants around a mall and if there isnt .......just a thought

pat

Rangeron17s
Mar 01 2004, 04:16pm
What it is; is a BIG plaza of stores and the brighton movie's.. Its a huge lot that interconnects with other stores.. heres what were going to do me and scrapin were taking about this.. When you get off the highway coming from detroit turn left those from howell would make a right when exiting the highway at the light (grand river) i believe or something.. The first lot onthe right closest to the expressway and to the road where ve where me meet. from there we decide where we are going to eat. SO BE ON time!!.. hows that sound? problem solved?

thinkin I can maybe even make it fellas. but I'd need to get directions. don't drive around that area in the states too much. Justin hit me up on AIM or something. I wanna see some of your trucks. and bullittranger I'd be smokin my bullitts to if I were bringin the v8 ranger. but she's been retired now. If I go it'll be in my new truck. hell maybe I'll still burn up my bullitts.

I was up in the Brighton area last night... Basicly in the lot that we are going to meet in or tha general area. It's cool around there and it'll be interesting to see you guys draggin' up and down that area. I was up in Pickney actually and damn that is country lol... Me and my buddy went up to Pickney to hang with a few girls, holy hell those roads are messed up there. I still do not know what is gunna go on with me going to that meet or not. Nice area just watch for the cops I saw hella lots of them up there.

From the MI/OH border your looking at a good hour and half drive. up 75 to 275 to 96.....

ScrapinFrame
Mar 06 2004, 06:02pm
I see no reason for me to stay the night, It's no tthat long of a drive for me , bout 40 min.

Phatras
Mar 06 2004, 06:19pm
I can think of a few Reasons for staying the night
1. can get drunk and not have to drive home
2. Bug the **** out of hotel managment when we take up the whole parking lot two spaces at a time(parking on lines so no hits our rides)
3. More time to hang out and check out the rides
4. Stripper(not just for taking off paint lol)
5. Why the hell not..
If theres enough interest IM in for getting a suit somewhere and having a hotel bash..I mean suites run like 80-100 a night between 8-10 people that 10 bucks.. Im sure with us hanging downtown we can meet some people to come to the bash..lol..

IM ganna try and get my buddy with a dime to come along. Might not be a ranger but its a nice ride.. Later Rick S

2002BlkKhaos
Mar 06 2004, 09:22pm
I'm not really into doin the whole hotel bash since there isn't sh*t to do downtown when I was there on friday. I was there until about 1 in the morning and the bowling alley you have to wait like an hour to get a lane to play a game, and for some reason the damn theater closes at 10. Kinda sucks... not much else to do cept I would prolly hang with the girls from Pickney I did the other night lol.

ericcoon
Mar 06 2004, 10:10pm
That's what I'm talking about!! What better way to end the day than 'sipping' on some beers?!

Rangeron17s
Mar 07 2004, 01:26am
im about 30 mins.. im not going to stay over.. but ill stay late if everyones doing all that... parking LOT pimpin'.. I miggggghht have drag block by then too.. kinda working with scrapin' on that! :)

Mar 08 2004, 07:54pm
Yeah. But there is alot of underage guys too.. so we would be running a NICE SIZE risk there.. Nice trucks sitting in a hotel lot with beer.. sounds like trouble BUT IM GAME!! lol dont know if im staying or what not... There is a movie theater right there. ill search the movie listings for the name and address and post it for those of you that need map quest!

it might be a good idea to start another thread of the people that are comin for sure.

eitherway--i picked up a full length explorer console today at the J-yard for 50 bucks, i'm gonna clean it up tomorro when i get outta school (Thursday) and me and my dad are about to do that 40/40 bucket conversion.
