even more of a reason to come right?

j/k, i'll be there most likely with my five year old boy, and maybe my nephew. john, let me know about a caravan, and richmond guys, let us know if you want to meet up with us before you go that way, we are right off of I-95 in Woodbridge

caravaning is a must

We'd gladdly join up with yall, I know that's what I want to do at least.. what do you other fellas think?

i'm down someone bring the camera

oh wait i have one!!!

Ok, so far, I know there'll be 3 of us rolling from Richmond. I hope we can grab a few more.. but so far, that looks like that's how it'll be. My dad may be buying another SE on thursday, so maybe my brother will tag along in that 98. We'll see.

Where are you guys going to meet in Richmond? I MAYBE able to pull something off Friday.

Hope you can, the more the merrier. I just got my windows tinted this mornin'

, looks good.

Man, with all these Richmond people comin up there, maybe I should try to make it too.

Haven't met any of you guys yet other then Bill (evilbill)...maybe I'll give it a shot. I'll probably feel a little out of place being the old guy...sounds like most of you guys are pretty young. I would definitly like to check out some other tours and meet you guys. What time do you guys expect to be there?

Scott

You're more than welcome to come! I believe that most of us are going to try to get there around 8pm. If traffic isn't too bad for us Virginians, we'll be there then.

Don't feel bad...I'm an old guy, besides we are all contour enthusiast. I have been a few times and had a good time.

Sounds good...I'll see what I can do. I think it is only 15-20 minutes from my work. I'll try and get there between 7:30 and 8:00 if all goes well.

Scott

They are usually their around 8:00 so you should be good!

I show up at about 10:15 - 10:30 or so when I show up becuase it is about 15 mins from where I work.

moxnix will make it.

I think I'll probably be able to make it!

-Andy

oh for everyone who didn't know my name is sam. just thought i'd share

Alrighty, just a few hours from now the Richmonders are going to be meeting up. If there are any northern VAers that want to meet up before the meet, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Well, Cliff and I were going to hold down No. VA, but since he sold out I guess it will just be me. I could meet the Richmonders if you want. let me know.

cable on my imrc broke off the cable mount so i replaced that so i couldnt make it...i was lucky enough that i had bought another imrc off of ebay and picked that up at 8:30pm tonite....but by the time i had put the new one on and tested it out...it was too late to make it....but if anybody wants to drop by columbia, md i will at the show sponsered by audio connection. sunday 10 -4

Well, it was a good turnout and it was nice to put some faces to names and meet some VA CEGers.

Thanks, it was a good time!

We'll try to set something else up in the near future. Perhaps a small mod meet/cookout at my place or something.

Pete beat me to it. It was good meet. Lucky for me I rolled in at 3:30am

. Everyone's car looked good. We've gotta have another meet not too far off.. let's not forget the mountain drive...

Good stuff, had fun, nice meeting all of you.

Sounds like everyone had fun, and I am sorry I missed it.

That sounds good Pete, just let us all know when. I hope nobody needed to camp out but made it home safely.

hey hey now,

you'll see when you have your little one, time alone becomes precious, sorry i couldn't make it, anyone take any pics? also, my computer at home got that virus so i can barely get on anymore, this sux!

jesus jeremy you got home at 330, i was back in the west end at 145. and i haven't gone to sleep yet, my car ran out of gas, wow it was a gay night after we left. but i had a lot of fun and i have some pics of me n jeremy on the interstate

hahah, yeah, I went to a gas station around 2:30am to get some more fuel and I knew I wasn't going to have that much cash in my checking account, I have a credit line (basically a creditcard from the bank) So whenever I have money I try to put as much as possible into that the credit line so that my monthly payments aren't so big.. but I hadn't added money back to my checking for a while...well.. so I put $5.01. The card doesn't go through...

so I went over to the atm.. says I have $1.80. Great. I have no cash on me. so I tell the guy, let me check my car. So I start with my change stash... ok $4 in change.. and that's it.. no more in my change holder.. so I start searchin' around for change under the seats.. thank goodness for lost change.. I found what I needed, and just imagine, if I hadn't bought 2 meals that night, I would have been fine.

Hey Sam, if you can email me or post those pictures of the cruise. Thanks.

LMAO, I hear ya Cliff. I was just razzin' ya. I didn't make it either as I got a BAD case of food poisoning! Guh! I was hemmed up all night. Grrrr... Anyway, I'm p'd that I missed it! Next time guys. I'm still down for the Skyline or Cooter's Cruise. Holla at me Pete, we'll see if we can make this happen.

Don't worry Cliff, John didn't come either.

Just the Richmond guys and I from VA... once I finally found the pub.

sounds like me i couldn't find the place for about 2 hours

Glad I made it...great bunch of guys with some real nice cars

. I had my digital camera with me and totally forgot to take some pic's. Probably wouldn't have turned out to good anyway...it was pretty dark in the parking lot where we were all parked. I hope to hook up with you guys again in the future

I thought I was nailed by a Montgomery County cop when I barked and pretty hard 2nd heading down Rt. 97 at 1:00 am but luckily he was not after me

the cruise was on the rest of the way home after that

Scott

P.S.
I am definitely the old guy

No biggie...didn't bother me a bit!

I was afraid that cop was goin for you, glad to hear otherwise.

I was definitely pretty lucky

Check out my painted rotors and calipers in the Aesthetics section under Jeremy's post on "what color to paint my calipers". I got the front and rear driver side done Sunday..now I need to do the passenger side

I like what you've done there scott. I think it really will add to your already slick ride. Did you use a wire brush or anything like that to clean it, or just washed them? And what kind of paint did you use?

Jeremy,

I took them pretty much completely off...left brake hose connected though. Used a wire brush in a drill and also a small wire brush (like a tooth brush). Cleaning is very important...use a degreaser or brake clean and then soap and water. Others also recommend final cleaning with alcohol...I did not do this. I painted the caliper mtg. brackets, rotor hubs and rotor vents with Seymour Hi-Temp "Cast Blast" looks like sand blasted bare metal. The calipers I painted with Seymour Engine Enamel (Ford/Chrysler Red). Make sure you mask off everything real good to avoid over spray on places you don't want. I rushed a little on the rear and did not clean the calipers as good and got lots of "fish-eyes". After stripping the paint off about three times I finally got it clean and the paint took and looks great. So don't skimp on the cleaning you will be much happier in the end

Here are a few more pic's web page

Good luck with the calipers and bumpers...your car will look sweet when done!

Scott

I really wanted to go to this meet, but i had 6 PC's to work on and two of them are servers, so i needed to have them finished by sat morning

Hey, we have a skyline drive coming up next month through the mountains of VA. We don't know the date yet.. but I'm going to put up a new thread soon. Perhaps tonight. But I know that there will probably be a very nice turn out for that.

Hope things work out better next time!

And Scott, thanks!
