July VXer meet in Chicago!

[nocturnalVX]

Hey guys and gals! Who's ready for another Midwest VX meet?

AnalogVX and myself were talking about getting something together for a Saturday in July, either the 12th or the 19th. I know the City of Lombard holds cruise nights all Summer long, and I think it'd be WAY cool to show up with a dozen or so VXes. This post is just to get the ball rolling so if anyone has another idea, or prefers one weekend over the other, let's here it. Let's shine 'em up & show 'em off!!!

My brother lives and works in Chicago. I was there last month and we were thinking of taking a drive out there this July from NJ. I have done that drive many times. I hate it, but Chicago is worth it. Especially in the summer.

It would be great to schedule our drive out there around the meet!!

The 12th good here.

[Mr. I-MAN]

I'm there.:p

Looks like Saturday July 12th is the better day, and if we can get some out-of-towners in, that'd be awesome! I'm still miffed that I couldn't make the Houston meet! :sighb2:

[AnalogVX]

The 12th works for me.

WAZZUPP! Im sure I have meet a few of you guys. I moved to Phoenix back in October. And since I have been here I have been in 5 VX off road adventures and to the LA meet. I will be in Chicago the 4th of July weelkend. And YES! I can take my mothers VX for the long weekend. But if you guys are doing it on the 12th then... Just wanted to say HELLO!!! ;Dy;

[AnalogVX]

Yea, it was nice to meet you at the VX meet at Giordano's in St. Charles. Nice to hear from you. Too bad you can't stretch out that weekend a little longer.

O.K. I talked to one of the organizers for Lombard's cruise nights, and she said the event starts at 6 P.M. and the main parking lot for the event is at the Fifth Third Bank 211 W. St. Charles Rd. We should have no trouble lining up together if we get there early (I'm thinking 4) and hold spots for late-comers, but that at 6 the spots can't be held and are up for grabs. There are plenty of places to eat, and there'll be live music. This is gonna be a blast! :bomb: :dance: :jump:

[AnalogVX]

Sounds like a really nice plan! I'll be there at 4:00pm.

[sintex420]

The 12th sounds good. I will be there bright and early at 4.

[nocturnalVX]

O.K. we made it. Saturday is here! Just in case anyone gets lost, I'll have my cell phone with me (773)339-4033. See you later!
:jump:

[AnalogVX]

You're up early...or are you STILL up?
I'm getting ready to wash and shine.
I'll see everyone there!

[nocturnalVX]

I'm at work ('til 2:30)... mornings are rough for me, but I'm psyched for this meet so that's helping!

[AnalogVX]

Pretty cool time tonight. 5 out of ??? not bad. Tons of Rods, Roadsters and Muscle cars. The VX stood out and got SOOO many looks. Of corse everyone stopped at the PROTON! And Nocturnal got a lot of lookers...he brought his Moab pics in a frame! LOL! Nice idea. Should have thought of that. Anyway Missed all the others who could not make it. Maybe next time?

*edit* for my lack of being able to count.

What a cool night! RichD (AnalogVX) and his daughter Darcy showed up in his always gleamin' Astral. Mike (Proton Smoke) shows up in high style (all the way from Ohio... take THAT all you locals that wussed out!) with a lifted Proton sporting a trick front license plate that retracts up under his VX when he shuts the motor off... suh-weeeet! Luis made it once again to keep everyone entertained. He may not be active on the forums, but he's made every (non off-roading) meet so far, and is going to hit the Badlands park the next time the 'Zoids hit it for sure. Now we just gotta talk him into Zu Zoo VII! Lastly, just when I figured 4 was all we were going to get... Sgt. Batguano (Mike) cruises on up in his de-badged Ebony. Very cool! The VXes did grab a lot of looks, and yes Mike's lifted Proton was the biggest draw... but at least our CV boots weren't ventilated. ;) ;py; Beautiful weather, lots of cool cars, and VXes... awesome! Pictures will be posted tomorrow. Oh, and thanks again Sgt. for not letting me forget the banner... D'oh! :rollb: Good night!

Here are the pictures... http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b32640356566

Again... it was cool seeing you guys yesterday, and we'll do it again soon!

[AnalogVX]

Cool pics Gil! I'll have mine back in a couple days.

[Proton Smoke]

I've heard about Freud's papers on Proton envy, but i always just assumed that it was a myth. Now I understand that not everybody can afford a Proton VehiCROSS, but you all have the option of a new paint job. Isuzu code #804. And on a more serious note, I had a great time hanging out with the VX owners who were proud enough to show up. Nice work with the photos Nocturnal.

[SGT.BATGUANO]

It was a pleasure meeting all of you.

[VCAMILO]

COOL PICS! I remembered most of the guys in the pics from the meet in St. Charles last October. I do have to agree on the proton one. The one that pulls and gets all the attention. ;Dy;

[nocturnalVX]

O.K. Vic... I can understand looking at another VX (especially one much more modded than your own) and drooling. HOWEVER , I can't see it getting to the point where you'd prefer it over an Ebony. You, my friend, have serious issues! :winkb: Repeat after me... black is best, black is best, black is best...

P.S. Sorry I missed you earlier in the month. Maybe I'll be able to get out your way for some wheelin' sometime!
