Anyone in Ohio want to meet for breakfast or lunch on a Sunday? I figure Columbus is pretty central. Lots of good breakfasts too.
Or maybe lunch at Mongolian BBQ.
Or Both.:D
N.A.T.O. is having a gathering in Dayton Sun ....
Doesn't have to be THIS Sunday. ;)
I was just letting you know something was going on nearby ;)
I may have to show up there too.
I know I would be up for it, bluethunder (vic) probably would, 8birdy8 (jim) for sure would, cougarcrager (zack) may be up for a lunch and maybe blu84302 (john). Speak up boys! If there are others I don't know of you.
I'm liking this BBQ idea.
If I wasn't going to be out of town, I'd be there. Should be pretty cool. If anyone goes, post some pics, please.
I can really try to start making these things now.
How 'bout we make it NEXT Sunday. Sounds like some people have plans already for this weekend.
Say the Frisches Big Boy on S. Hamilton rd near the US33 exits?
If anyone DOES want to meet this weekend that works for me. I'm going to Nat'l Trails around 11:00 for the Div. 3 Finals. Going to be top Alc. rails and funny cars there. $15 admission and pit pass. We could make it a real gear head day.
Well, if I work my ass off I might be able to be there and maybe even have the Fila there. No promises though.
Would 9:30 be too early for anyone?
would be for me
Um....yeah....way too early. I'm a 3-hour drive without construction that's usually on I-71.
Lunch or dinner maybe?
I think a BBQ dinner get together would be awsome.
Lunch sounds like the better plan then. That pretty much does away with the day at the races idea, so let's make it next Sunday at 1:00 That should give everyone enough time and you'll have an extra week to shine the cars. :D We can meet at the BP station East of I-270 at Morse rd.
BTW: Mongolian BBQ may be a little different than you think. It's sorta like a chinese buffet only all the food is raw. You go through the line pick your meats and veggies, sauces, spices, etc. hand the bowl to the guy at the grill and they stirfry it all right in front of you. GREAT food and $12 for all you can eat with a soup and salad bar.
I would be interested in meeting, but I am more a hamburger kind of person.
Wow Martin that sounds like an intresting place.
I'd try it. So where is this going to happen at?
count me in also.I live in Lancaster, Ohio.
I'd say meet me at the BP station on Morse rd just east of the I-270 exits on Sunday around 1:00. East side of Columbus.
We can Circle the restaraunt like crazy bikers. :evilgrin:
You call call me for help. 614.517.4651
Edited to Add: SE bring those dash bezels with you. I'll give you $40 for them.
Yay! I knew Jim would be up for it.
If it's this sunday, I'm out. I got to work:sorry: . Next sunday maybe... and if all plays out I'll even bring the Fila
Its not this Sunday Mike, its next Sunday.
Well, if me and Johny work hard we might have the Fila running and can bring her with us. If not then probaly just take the Vic' .As for as I know I'm off. I'll do my best to be there.
Get to work then. I ain't seen one in nearly twenty years. :D
You seen a Fila before. News to me. I'll do my very best man.
Next week I plan on moving into my house. My life has become busier than I like. It's a great idea, especialy since I'm 1.5+ hours away. I'd like to see your car *MAYHEM*. Maybe next month.
I know this is abit far-off, but i am going to be in Cambridge, OH. end of june, beginnng of july 07- are there any meets around that time scheduled yet? I'm from KC and don't get out your way but once a year.
You'll go right past me on you way to Cambridge. Let me know when you're coming, I'll meet ya for lunch or sumpem. I have some friends in Cambridge, hell I might meet you there.
I am sure something can be arranged. Salt Fork State park is only about 15 minutes from Cambridge, and is a very nice park.
very cool, i would lve to get together and see everyone and their rides.
Alright... I'm unreliable but I'm planning on being there Sunday. Can't wait to meet some folks and I'll bring the digi, the bird and the g/f. Claude, and anyone else in Lancaster want to meet to drive up there? Nothing like a good ol'fashion convoy to get the day started.
Anyone from NE ohio plan on attending and what to meet up somewhere? I am about 20 Min south of Akron.
So far it looks like
*MAYHEM* -Martin
CougarSE -Me!
8birdy8 -Jim
Blue Thunder -Victor (maybe)
blue84302 -John (maybe)
83heritage -Kyle (and i really want to see that 83 again now that I got this 83 cat!)
cougarcrager -Zack maybe
And maybe Eric and Brian if Brian kicks him in the Nuts [/cartmen]
AND maybe Gumby! C'mon man.
don't forget my g/f...
Picked up a very nice 86' LS 5.0 w/AOD.
saw that. Great deal!
Doesn't look as if I'll be able to make it. 3 hours is quite a hike and if I go, I'd be in my Neon anyway.
I'm out too...sorry guys, maybe next time.
If I wasn't moving into a house or working, I would. Hopefully next time.
I think we need to just make this a monthly gathering. :)
Sounds cool
I know I'm new around here and have a newer cougar (90, working on getting a 92 so I can stick a 4.6 DOHC in it) but I'll stop by one of these times. I'm in Mt Vernon, pretty close to Columbus and real close to Pacemakers Dragway (which I run the water box at).
So.... Do we have a final list of who's showing?
This weekend I'm out. Next few weeks are a maybe.
I'm still unreliable but i'm working on it. Unless this weekend gets crazy i'd like to watch the game and go to lunch on sunday.
Do you have an address of where you are meeting, or some easy directions?
Good idea..
I'm good and i'm sure Jim will be too.
Directions are pretty easy:
When you get to Columbus, take I-270 (beltway) to the east side. (signs will say "270 E to Wheeling") Take the Morse rd exit and turn east at the bottom of the ramp. (Coming from the north you will go left, under I-270, from the south you will go right)
You will see a BP station on the left. Pull in and park. BD's Mongolian BBQ is a little tricky to find so I figure meeting at BP is easier.
I'll prob'ly be there around 12:30 and we can all head to BD's around 1:00 or so.
If anyone gets lost call me: 614.517.4651
I know it's saturday but i still don't know what i'm doing yet. If i do come it'll be because the g/f lets me use my credit card for gas and food. Otherwise money is a factor. I forgot this is my rent check. But by golly, i'll go in debt for t-bird friends and good food!
claude, i still wouldn't mind following you up. If you'll be passing through lancaster.
Is this just for t-birds or can cougars come too. and can you re-cap the event:sorry:
T-birds and Cougars both welcome. :)
I still have quite allot to do to finish moving in, and have to work tomorrow night also.
well I guess I'll come down I have nothing else going on. I'm meeting up with (83 heritage)
Wow that is Awsome Ric!
Jim and I will be there as well, but Zacks out. Can't get ahold of John, his girlfriend hates me and wont return my calls...
stfu claude. I'm about to call your ass and wake you up!
I'm already up!
See everybody in a couple of hours.
white or black?
Wonder if it will do any good to wash the cat before I go. :D
! That was fun!
I think we need to do it again. :D
I'm thinkin' Nov 5th. Who's in?
I know one thing. I'll be draggin ass tonight at work. If i sleep now i can get a couple of hours before i have to go in.
I had fun, a long dry & cool drive (nice fall day)
& good food
:pics-stfu:
just thought i'd add that.
I just got time to upload my pictures.. I'll have them in a few.
Here's a few:
And a couple more:

I've got to add that it was a great time.. We spent hours at the BBQ.
My car will be in winter hibernation starting 10/28. Next summer if this becomes a monthly thing, it should rotate locations.
Works for me. :)
I am a bit behind, but finally here are th3 pic that I took.
I'm hungry.
Me too
It's getting warmer outside, anybody hungry?
i just made a pizza im quite full
You know Martin.. I'm getting pretty Hungry.
Let's give everyone plenty of time to plan this time. Tax day is on a Sunday. We can all celebrate our refunds. (or lack thereof). Columbus again?
Anybody else hungry?
yea i am but not for food hehehe
If you're not busy this Sunday you can meet The Cool Cat himself along with CougarSE and myself and maybe a few others at the Outback Steakhouse on Main St just east of the I-270 exit in Columbus. That would be the US40 east exit. We'll all be there around 1:00 (that's PM not AM).
I'm out, I got " a mission" to do and then I have to try to accomplish something on my bird.
Yeah I will be there as well as Jim (8birdy8, he don't know yet but he is going :hick: ).
Hopefully bring along John (blue84302) again and maybe this time Victor (blue thunder) will be available.
Get ahold of any Nato guys Martin?
It's a good thing you mentioned 1PM not AM, i was almost not going to make it because i'd be at work at 1AM. But anyway, i'm there. Probably not going to drive the bird though... unless it's raining.
Nevermind... i'll be bringing the bird. Supposed to rain :(
Not yet. Work is keeping me busy. I'll try a little later today.
I assume you are talking about April 1st. If so I can't make it , it being my Birthday and all. But if anyone is planning on being in the Akron/Canton area this weekend Saturday night, I am hosting a Texas Hold 'em game, and on Sunday night I am doing the Birthday dinner thing.
yay
Hooters! Hooters!
Thanks to The Cool Cat, Shawn, Claude and Jim for a great lunch. We need to do this more often. :D
Sorry I missed it the E'man was there dam I had prier arangments I had a "artist" come out to my house and remove All of my dings & dents out It looks mavelis
That was way cool! Thanks guys!
OK, April's meet was a little impromptu, so let's give fair notice to everyone for May. First Sunday in May is the 6th. That gives you 31 days notice. Plan for it.
The question now is, what city to have it in. Let's hear the ideas and put it to a vote.
Anybody?
Beuhler?
Beuhler?
You keep picking Birthdays. The April meet was my Birthday, and May 6th is my Wife's birthday. I won't be able to may it on that day.
change the day! can't keep kyle out again..!
IF the date is changed, and its cool with everyone, we could meet up around my place. There are tons of restaurants, and even a Go-Kart track/ miniature golf/ driving range/ paintball facility near by.
All right, what about the last Sunday in April?
I see no problems for that day.
April 29th in Cbuttstuff Fulton sounds good to me. Anyone else?
Hmmmm.....
If anyone is still up for this and are cool with meeting up in the Akron/Canton/Cbuttstuff Fulton area, here is what I propose. Meet at 1:30 on Sunday April 29th at the Pizza Hut (don't have to eat there, its just easy to locate) address 4821 Portage St Nw North Canton OH 44720. If you are coming by way of I77 its exit 111, get off I77, head west get in the far right lane and it is on the right hand side. Its extremely close to the Akron Canton Airport. There are all kinds of places to eat, just depends on what everyone is hungry for, and what everyone's budget will allow. As mentioned before, the are Go-Karts, Paint Ball, Driving range etc etc about 15 Minutes away ( http://www.sluggers-putters.com/). Any suggestions let me know.
Sounds great to me. I'll be there. :)
Anybody else planning to make it?
Depends on if I wake up early enough...
Send me your PH# I'll wake you up. :D
I gots no way to get there as of now. Will try though
Its only a half hour drive, and we are meeting at 1:30 PM. So you would have to be out of bed by NOON.
See if Eric or Brian is coming, and if they are try to bum a ride from someone. Don't you have 2 cars?
Long story, but I have the Fila almost done right now, the cougar is 12 hours away, and I'm still waiting to insure/title the bird. I can try Brian, he might want to go
I forgot about the Cougar. What about the 'Vic?
Family DD. Mine but not really. Again, hard to explane.
It would be the last thing you ever did ;) !
(j/k'ing)
Well i'm taking the entire weekend off for other reasons, but I enjoy taking advantage of sleeping in. 3pm is usually what I call morning on the weekend :D !!!
You bum get up... We got some zombies to kill......
So do we have a count of who all will be coming?
Well I am probably not going to make it. My mother is coming up from Mississippi.
I'd love to but don't think it's going to be possible. Sorry!
However...I will be able to make the July meet (http://"http://www.coolcats.net/catjam/") in Youngstown. ;)
Same here, I WILL be at CJ, but as for now, any meets other then local I'm out. Just no means to get there
TOO Many things going on see you all at Carslile and or Cat Jam
Ric
I'll be there. :)
Looks like it will just be the two of us.
Actually, I just found out I may have to pass. :( Left front brake started grinding tonight coming home. I wanted to put this off til I could swap spindles but if I don't fix it now I may not have a cat to put spindles on.
So why don't we just post pone the whole thing until May 27. Thats the last weekend in May, should give everyone plenty of time to get their cars all washed and waxed after coming out of winter storage.:)
That would be Memorial Day weekend. I know I'll be gone until Moday night that weekend.
Forgot about that. How about the weekend before. Sunday the 20th.
I have a very important date with a particular race track in Indiana.
Ok, I'm lookin' at the 3rd Sunday in Sept. I aughtta be hungry by then.;) And with nearly two months notice, everybody should be able to plan an afternoon. Any objections? Better ideas?
See this thread.

i hate living so far towards the center of the country! it seems to me that there are a LOT of 2.3 turbo related events in ohio. there are several guys on rangerpowersports that live in ohio and hang out frequently, nato is meeting up there, i bought my current turbocoupe there, and cat jam (albeit not 2.3 turbo specific).... all in ohio! that's it... i'm moving.
There's about 5 house's for sale near me....;)
My bad. Well, let's get that one rolling then.
