Still lookin' for SVXers to join us on April 6-8 in PA. Don't miss a chance to see a "mini 10th anniversary meet."

<<Actually, rufus, unless rwj is going to run a load of bourbon to PA>>

I will probably have some "private stock" (for medicinal use only, of course).

I'll try to get out and map out a drive and make copies of directions. As far as a place to eat, I can think of a couple of good buffets, but they don't serve alcohol. There would be no need for reservations at either of the places I have in mind. The Country Buffet is in Reading, less than 5 minutes from where we were last year (about $10). Shady Maple is the biggest Smorgasbord, both size wise and variety wise, that I've ever seen ($12.50, 5 years ago). It's located on Rt. 23 about 10 miles west of Morgantown. About how long would we want the drive to last? I can lead you around here for hours.

I'm up for anything. I promised Brian I'd navigate this year since he much prefers driving my SVX than his 944. So as long as you don't make it too dangerous, I'll be fine with any time length.

UNK! You're a lifesaver! I figured we try to take off around noon and land for an early dinner around 4 (last year's dinner was a little too early, dontcha think -- o'course, we did arrive early). One of the buffets sounds fine to me, as long as they've got a big room we can all gather in. We can all "party" afterwards. We should have plenty of time with an early dinner. Looks like (so far) around sixteen cars, two to the car, roughly.

So, we'll plan on following your lead, then. Thanks so much for "stepping up to the plate." I mean, I was "hell bent" on having a meet whether we had a plan or not, but, being able to "drop jaws" for another year in a row would be great.

Thanks so much.

As you can see, UNKLE WORN, has agreed to plan a route. So, we now have a plan:

Early birds arrive Morgantown Holiday Inn, Evening of April 6. Nothing "formal" planned -- those arriving just try to meet up on your own.

Morning of 7th -- We all meet in the parking lot around 10 a.m. Meet and greet 'til around noon. At noon, we take off for a ride through the PA countryside (UNK will provide directions for the route -- with (probably) a couple of stopping points so we can all re-group if we get separated (we all did a heck of a job keeping together last year -- besides Kevin Obrien's "Lighter Launcher" incident). At the end of the tour, we'll wind up at one of two (UNK's checking into which one) of PA's finer buffets (Neither serve alcohol, Larry -- sorry) around 4:00 PM for an early dinner. After that, we'll all meet back at the Motel where those who have them can bring out the "libations" and we can proceed to pah-tay!

Sunday morning, those who want, can meet for an informal brunch at the motel before departing on their drives home -- of course, anyone else who lives nearby is welcome to join in.

So, does that sound like a plan? I'm getting that same excitement I had last year. Yippee -- are we gonna have fun! Sign up soon!!!!

I was hesitant about this meet at first. Last year it seemed a lot more organized, but now I see that an agenda is forming, and that a NICE LONG cruise(PLEASE!) route will be mapped out (with copies made for everyone hopefully), I think I'll call up the hotel tomorrow and make reservations(just saturday night for me)! You still want to split with me Paul?

So you can add me to the list! Hope we can at least get the same turnout as last year! Anymore than that, will get a little crazy, but who says that's bad??

I say we do a relentless email/SVX club bombardment, up until the date of the meet, to really drum up turnout! Tell all of your SVX friends!!

Maybe we could also give out awards too. Like "Longest drive to Reading," and "Most/least miles on Odometer." "Most Modified." "Most stock." "Cleanest." "Loudest/coolest horn." "Dirtiest" Etc etc. Just a little addition to make the meet more fun! Does anyone have a certificate maker, and have any ideas for prizes/trophies? I guess each member/attendee would be given a ballot to vote for each category. Are we going to issue a number for each car, or just use the license plate number, or what?

Even if we don't have the biggest turnout, let's make this meet the best ever, to show everyone what they missed out on!

Hey, I'm all for it . . . if you wanna take care of it. Perhaps you can get Paul to help you out

Paul, I admire your modesty (GAK!)

Aredubjay · #26 03-20-2001, 11:55 AM

Notice, I've been updating the list as people have been adding names (thank goodness for the "edit" function). If any of you guys frequent the KC and I-clubs, spread the word. Looking forward to a great meet!

#27 03-20-2001, 12:49 PM

I could dig up a few things to bring for Prizes possibly...

I'll let you know what i dig up.....

PAUL!

<<"Is EGO one of the 7 sins Randy?">>

Well, if it is, I'm afraid we're all going to hell. You can't own an SVX without a certain amount of it.

Aredubjay · #29 03-21-2001, 08:43 AM

We now have the potential of having 20 cars present at the Reading meet. Last year saw 23 cars (though, I believe, only 16 were "signed up."), we need three more to match -- we need five more to meet the "record" at Vermont -- we need 6 more to beat the record, and WAY more, just for the helluvit. Tell everyone you know! Let's make this the LARGEST North American meet EVER!!!

#30 03-21-2001, 10:39 AM

I just reserved a room @ the Holiday Inn for Saturday night (APR 7th).

I was still able to get the SVX Club Discount Rate of $75 per night!

Alright well I've got my SVX all loaded up and I'm off to Canada!

Talk to you guys next week!
