[VX crazy]

I will be in Keller on saturday 7/19 and Allen on sunday 7/20....any interest in a late lunch meet on sunday??

[Dumke]

LOL i am actually thinking abotu going down to houston that weekend to take kids to see the Boom boom huck jam :( if my plabns change count me in.

[VX crazy]

Actually might need to be brunch on that day, early lunch if thats ok with you guys??? I will be heading to OKC right after that...NOT staying in Dallas sunday night......I would be coming from Keller to meet you guys, not from Allen like I thought....

[Scott Harness]

Sounds good to me, where would you like to meet?

[VX crazy]

I will meet you guys anywhere that works for you guys......prefer NOT downtown Dallas.....my preference would be closer to Keller as I will be going north from there...but I am flexible.....;)

[tomdietrying]

What about Grapevine or Southlake? Those two are close to Keller. I'm game for anything.

So, are we looking at Sauturday or Sunday for brunch?

Peace.

[LittleBeast]

[VX crazy]

Ya'll I leave Austin saturday morning, soooo I could do saturday late lunch if that means more people can make it......AND I can come into Dallas.....I am easy!

Scott and RYAN....not Rob, he vacated along time ago...

[Dumke]

Well I was going to try and take kiddo's to boom boom huck jam in houston but plans change because have to goto school that monday for work. So count me in...


Well besides dallas, there is grapvine and such or even fort worth which is just shy south of keller... Guess it is where ever most people can make it. But why not discuss food :) Where do you want to eat?

[VX crazy]

Either way cuz I will be coming from Austin, and before heading to Keller can just go to Dallas......I can take the long way to keller. Oh and I eat just about anything...

[tomdietrying]

O.K. Let's meet in Dallas, Saturday, July 19th for brunch. We need to answer a few questions first..............what time?...........what kind of food.......and which restraunt?

Lisa......you tell us what time you want to have brunch.

Ryan......you tell us what kind of food you and your dad want.

Scott.....you pick the restraunt.

Rob and myself will be o.k. with whatever answers you choose. How does that sound?

Peace.

Talked to my dad yesterday, and he is definitely down, and we think some Mexican food would be great, you can never go wrong with some chips and dip.

Also, my dad is in the process of finding a new hobby/project car. In the past he has restored/worked on:
-American muscle car that I was too young to remember what it was
-1966 Mustang Fastback
-1967 Mustang Convertible
-1984 Porsche 944
-1989 Mark VIII
-1996 Mustang
-1991 240SX

Currently he is looking at maybe a Porsche 928 or a Fiat. But if any of you know of any possible project cars in the area, I would like to take my dad to check them out while we are there. Maybe $2-4k or so. He has just retired and is looking for something to keep him occupied, so any thoughts on some project cars, would be much appreciated.

[Scott Harness]

Last time we did the Blue Goose,I think everyone enjoyed it. Also Sol's Taco Lounge is in the same area. Good food either place. Sol's is less expensive:grino:

[VX crazy]

Yum, so BlueGoose on Greenville right?

[Scott Harness]

Correct,the same place we ate at last time you were in town.

[VX crazy]

Great, see you guys there at 2pm on saturday!

[tomdietrying]

[Dumke]

I shall be there with my minnie me's...

[LittleBeast]

Oh wow we all need to RSVP!!!!!! lol, good job Lisa at least someone is on the ball. See you all at 2pm tomorrow.

[Scott Harness]

I'll be 10-15 minutes late, but I'll be there:cool:

[tomdietrying]

I don't know if you are planning on doing your window fix at the meet. Here's a thought. After we eat, if you want, I live about 15 minutes from the Blue Goose if you need a place to do any mods. Ya'll are more than welcome to use the concrete pond in the back yard to cool off too.
Peace.

[LittleBeast]

Alrighty I am in Waco and I brought the brackets for the window fix that Girlybot inquired about. I have never taken the doors apart, but I can print out the instructions or if some of you have done it you all can help, I am assuming this would be done after the meeting at Tom's place if we in fact decide on doing it, I am fine either way. I am not dead set on doing this on my VX on this trip, I was just mentioning it to see if it would help out Girlybot or we could just fix her problem and I can get some more after watching "us" fix hers.

Things that are listed on the metal tab fix that I did not bring that we will need to do this:
-sharpie
-razor scraper
-some type of glue (industrial hot glue has been used before)

[Dumke]

Sorry guys/gal something came up last moment and I am going to have to miss out. :(

[Girlybot]

Okay, I have the scraper and the sharpie, stopping on the way to get some industrial hot glue... leaving now, I got cash in hand and am very excited to meet y'all!!!

[Scott Harness]

It was nice to see everyone one again,also meeting the new people Girlybot(Laurie) I think? and Harvey. Sorry we didn't do any work.It was just too hot.:rolleyes:(lame)

[tomdietrying]

I'll second what Scott said.

I was good seeing old friends and good meeting the new friends.

Peace.

:eek:It seemed like we were really bored with the VX:eek: been there done that feeling. Must have been the heat.

[LittleBeast]

Lisa tooks some pics.

[VX crazy]

Lisa tooks some pics.

LOL Ryan! I took 1 photo and it was of YOUR truck! Sorry I did not take more....it was just so hot out....

BUT it was great seeing everyone again and nice to meet Laurie (is that right?) I did not get to say much to Walter I think it is, but nice meeting you too!

My rental got like 38 miles per gallon! INSANE!!!! But no comparison to driving what you love!

[Scott Harness]

I had my new digital camera with me,but I'm ignorant on how to upload pics. I know it can't be that hard,just haven't taken the time to learn. It's starting to bother me though,so I'll pay Geek Squad or somebody to teach me.

Plug one end of USB into computer, plug the other end into camera (USB cable came with the camera) and a screen will pop up and tell you what to do, it really is that easy.

Oh and Lisa, I didn't know how many pics you took I just remember seeing you holding a camera, sorry, lol. Oh and yeah once you get that smart car you can have the best of both worlds, a cool one to drive (VX) and a good on gas one.

Thanks Ryan I'll try it

[Girlybot]

Lori, and yeah it was AWESOME to meet y'all. I was so embarrassed when everyone saw my car. It was like the little matchstick girl next to uh, Miss Texas, or whatever. I'll wash and wax it next time, promise!!!!

I was really surprised at how nice and friendly everybody was. My boyfriend asked, was there a single redneck there? I said no. We are sophisticated car geeks. I felt extremely welcome and was really happy to be there.

Jesus it was hot, though. When I pulled up and they were all lined up in a row, I almost teared up.

VX is a beautiful thing.:bgwb:
