[Spike]

It IS every 3rd Friday of the Month ... I typed Wednesday by mistake. What can you expect from a 4:30 am posting... ? heh

Hey, didn't I say the other night 'unless I beat ya to it?' :P

[etlsport]

Hey, didn't I say the other night 'unless I beat ya to it?' :P


haha.. i did post about trying to get people together.. but alas, its already fallen into the 2nd or 3rd page of new posts.. hopefully theres a good turn out on friday and we can get somethin else together for later...

...hey 99vx4x4.. if your VX isnt back on the road yet and youre still at temple, you can probably ride over there with me.. just a thought

[Spike]

Okay, lets not bury this...

Anyone have emails for some of the Philly, NJ & DE locals? Just in case no one has been checking the boards lately?

[VX4EJR]

yo.....I should be able to swing this. should't be too hard to find since I used to live up the road or so. when do the strippers get there though?

[Spike]

Oh, I didn't know you were offering to get some!


Anyway, For those who need a better idea of where it is...

The dealership is on route 3, right across the street from SAP corporate office. .. in between Hill Cadillac, and Taylor Rental and Mulch-It

Just west of rt 252 (3 miles west of the blue route)

You cant miss it, its the place with all the cars out front :p

ha..ha...very funny etl.
hey Spike, you know I think the last place we went to closed down...the one in DE. in fact, murphy isuzu is gone too. geez man, places we've been to are disappearing....what's next?

[99VX4x4]

hey thanks for invite ELT, but i am no long at temple, just got back home last night.

VX is still off the road however, body is still unable to find a door. I may however still swing by and give a little Vehicross support!

[etlsport]

cool, hope to see you there

hey spike, do you know exactly how the timing of the whole thing is going to go? (ie can people show up at 6 or 7 if they work later on fridays?)

[dave3702]

Question I had as well. Should take me a little over an hour to get down the northeast extension, and I get out of work at 5:30.

[HotFlyer]

Kahunaville closed down last fall, word on the street is that the guy got into some serious tax problems. Next rumor I heard was, that someone is bidding for the property to reopen it just as it was.


Murphy had 2 locations, one in Chester, and one in West Chester. The west chester one, I hear is going to be redeveloped as somthing other than a car dealer. Murphy still has the Chester location, and added their Isuzu sales and service to that showroom.

[Spike]

cool, hope to see you there

hey spike, do you know exactly how the timing of the whole thing is going to go? (ie can people show up at 6 or 7 if they work later on fridays?)

I believe it runs until 9 or 9:30...
I would call the number in my original post (the actual dealership) and ask about it.

There is a small restaraunt / sports bar about a mile up the road, we could all head over there afterwards.. "The Winner's Circle"

[etlsport]

cool, so sounds like you can show up anytime, we just may not all be able to park together if we dont show up within about 30 minutes or so of eachother

and im down for dinner/drinks afterwards... ive got a busy week of mods (tones hitch, quartz headlights, piaa fogs and yakima loadwarrior) before we meet up!

[etlsport]

bump.. anyone else up for it? i know theres a few other vxers in the area

[Spike]

Hope the weather holds out!
Looks like next few days are going to be crazy...
Some rain wednesday or thurs... increase in temperature...

If we get rained out on Friday, I don't mind still meeting up ... we can just go for food up the road.

[WormGod]

On a Friday?

From 5-9pm?

Jeez.... I dont even get out of work until 7pm and then a 3 hour drive thanks to traffic. Don't people in PA have jobs? :p

[djkymar]

same here i got out of work at 6 plus 2 hours driving. I would go if i could =(

[Spike]

On a Friday?

From 5-9pm?

Jeez.... I dont even get out of work until 7pm and then a 3 hour drive thanks to traffic. Don't people in PA have jobs? :p

Yes, on a Friday - I found out about the Cruise Night accidentally when my father wanted to test drive some cars...

And, right now, I dont actually have a job...

[etlsport]

lol, yea lucky me am done with my office job for awhile and am back to school and working on cars for $$ so i get to schedule my appointments around my schedule

[VX4EJR]

hmmm.....should we consider having this on a weekend somehow or somewhere else maybe instead so at least more folks could make it?

[Spike]

We can have another.

I only put it out there because of the venue - whole bunch of cars gonna be there of all shapes and sizes.

Yea, this is more convienient for the locals. Hope that doesnt shy anyone away from coming out.

Let's pick a date for another one but put it on a new forum post. However lets wait until this one passes. I still want to see how many people we can get for Friday.

[djkymar]

[VX4EJR]

Guys.....I'm planning on making it out, just might be late, hoping not too too late. Shouldn't be hard to find everyone though. See you then!

[Spike]

Hope this weather holds out.. I spent a lot of time washing yesterday, only to be coated with tree parts (seed clusters from a GIANT ash tree that for some reason are dropping already) and bird dung...

Looks like I gotta start over before greasing up the cladding.

[etlsport]

sweet.. just spoke with dave, he's planning on coming down around 630-7.. with his proton im stoked.. plllleeasseeeeee be nice out! so if the weather doesnt hold out.. where are we headed? i was just thinking we could go to one of the parking garages at king of prussia mall to look at everyones VXs (where its dry) then head over to one of the nearby restaurants if its raining

Winner's Circle is about a mile or 2 west of the dealership.. in front of the Edgmont Regal movie theatre... Food's not bad, prices are half decent. Theres better elsewhere, but why drive all over creation.

Decisions are hell. Steak or Kabobs? Sauce it and flip it, Jackson, here we go! From the right coast on the bottom side. "National Register of Hysterical Places." No joke! It's all in Earlville. Where all roads lead. In the woods of southern Berks. The center of the "cook-your-own" universe. It's the real deal with real people surrounded by a dandy island background. Neon tan after dinner anyone? Out on the Ragin' Manatawny. Gotta staff that'll stop traffic! Hurricanes enough to float your boat! Party on!

Inside or Outback along the Ragin' Manatawny. lt's a dinner party people, come aout and carry on.
And the raw bar is open Fridays and Saturdays.
The barbys are hot and the tunes are cool. Hurricanes abound!

Nice pair of Strippers !!!!!!!!!!!

[Spike]

Saw a few tonight after a friend's poker game .. and im STILL ahead with the cash :)

Thanks you guys for making it to the cruise night.
I am probably going to go again a couple times this summer.. why not? It's around the corner from my house! So any 3rd friday, if you think you want to get out a bit, give me a yell!

Elliot, you missed another one. You know, 3 strikes and you are out. That means if you dont make it to the next one, I get your VX :P

Etl, Wanna help me out with that door popper? Let me know!

[Spike]

(Also posted on another forum link)

At our mini meet on friday nigtht, I saw this couple walking along a row of of Camaros, Vettes, Olds 442, etc, got to the end of the row where we had 4 VXs lined up. I heard the wife say, "WOW, Isuzu made THOSE?"

Good thing two of us still had Isuzu plates in our grilles.
ETL's just says CROSS and HotFlyer has an amber light.

Otherwise the comment might have been the typical "What the hell are those?"


We stayed later than most of the other cars, talking. As we all started up to drive off to grab a snack and a beer, I heard the DJ announce something like: "Hey, look at those guys!"

[Triathlete]

Nice pair of Strippers !!!!!!!!!!!

Howard (0761)

Dude! You guys had strippers at your meet? I'll have to try that at our next gathering and see if a few more show up! :bwgy:

[Spike]

Not only did we have strippers, we had some lug nuts, Etl brought a really nice pair of (roof) racks, and I had a pair of balls...

[Spike]

Popper and 'runnng light to turn signal' wiring are the 2 things I want to work on...

Which Dogfish Head did you get?

[etlsport]

90 minute..

which light did you want to make into a turn signal?

[VX4EJR]

Hows bout another meet thingy for 2008? Got to be more folks with VX's around now....in the PA/NJ/DE/MD or whatever area. Maybe make it a big one who knows.

Where?

What date and time?

Who's in?

[Spike]

Hey! Long time no hear!

Eric and I are meeting up at O'Reilly Pontiac/GMC/Buick On Friday May 16 at about 5/5:30 for their first Cruise Night for 2008 (it is a recurring meet every 3rd friday of the month)

This time I will be bringing both my VX and my GTP
(if I can get them both detailed just the way I want them by then!)

Last year was their first year for hosting cruise nights and it went over very well.

We had four VX last year on the first nigtht, as seen in the gallery.

But after that it was just Eric and me on a regular basis every month. But still well worth it.

Each time out we got compliments and questions...
Well worth showing up in numbers!

Word of caution! if the high polished aluminum 40th anniversary Shelby Cobra arrives again this year ... bring a mop, because I will not be responsible for the gallons of drool that I may leave on the blacktop...

Also - it is very likely that we are headed down to Cecil County dragway, in Rising Sun Maryland, the following morning - Saturday the 17 - to test out a few cars... VehiCross, my GTP, Eric's roommate's WRX... possibly a fox body Mustang and a couple others...
Confirmation of this date will come along at a later time.

I believe the track opens at 8:30 am.. so we would be getting a very early start.
