Dallas Meet Sat 25th Sept.

[Jay Dunford]

Tone and Lisa are coming up for the Van Halen concert so let's get together for a late lunch Saturday around 1:00 pm.

Any suggestions or preferences on venue??

[nocturnalVX]

How many miles do you want me to put on my VX!?! I'll pass on this one. Besides... my VX will be getting detailed that day! Gotta have her nice & shiny for the next weekend. :goof:

[vx69]

No suggestions, on where to meet, but I will be there...

[tomdietrying]

Tell me where and I'll be there. I know we have some new members from Denton. Are yall going to be able to make it?
What about the Ft. Worth clan? Doc and Rob...are yall coming too?

Let's see if we can get 8-10 VX owers there.:)

[Dallas4u]

Ya'll should meet at Chewy's off of Mockingbird... GREAT mexican food and plenty of cerveza.

[Tone]

I’d like to do Chuy’s as well since I haven’t been to the Dallas location - Jay, it is a drive for you - where is it relative to:
American Airlines Center
2500 Victory Avenue
Dallas, Texas 75219
Show starts at 7:30 so we need to be there at least an hour before that.

[VX crazy]

What about something original to Dallas?? Jay? Jason? Any ideas??

It is in the same general area as AAC, so that's not a problem. The West End is also down there and has many choices.

[RobVX]

Hey Y'all:
I should be able to join in the fun. I called Doc again to let him know about the gathering...this time he called me back!!! He's still around and still got his VX. He's in the process of buying a house back in Ft. Worth pretty close to me, so he can't make next Sat. but hopes to make our next one.
I'm trying to get a guy in Arlington to attend. He was a salesman at the Arlington Isuzu dealer and picked up a gray VX. Good guy.
How 'bout that Denton VXkween......are you gonna join us sometime??? I don't think my life will be complete till I see a Proton up close and personal. Rob A.

[vxkween]

RobVX...will give it a shot...have a raquetball tournament on the 25th but if ya'll are out later as opposed to earlier we might be able to make it!!

[Jay Dunford]

OK, 3:00 p.m. at Chuy's. That'll give us time to talk shop in the parking lot unless everyone wants to meet earlier somewhere else and drive down to the resturant later.

Dallas location on McKinney Ave.

[Anita]

ah chuysssss..........

where i had my first swirl maggie...;Dr;

Hey, Im cominn out to Austin for New Years..I hope there is a chance I can meet up with y'all then! ;Dr; ;Dr;

[Tone]

Hook up for VH has left the tour so we may NOT make it - making a few more calls and looking at the cheap seats but it’s up in the air for the moment.

[KristyRemo]

What exactly do y'all do at meets? Would love to come to one, but not sure what to expect.......

Mainly a social gathering just to hang out and compare mods, B.S. and such. There are always questions like "How did you do that?" etc. You can get lots of good info, and seeing it in person helps.

Since the Austin guys are not able to make it we can do this at any time Sat. that works for everyone. So everyone chime in again, we can also pick a place more central to everone if that will help the Ft. Worth folks.

[RobVX]

If the reason for meeting up in Dallas was the Austin crew, it would be great to move the gathering somewhere in the mid-cities...grapevine? If the time was moved can vxkween and kristyremo make it? Let's hear from you gals.

[tomdietrying]

I'm game. What about Jason and Jay? What are your thoughts?
Peace.
Tom

[KristyRemo]

Could definitely make it if it were around 12. Have to be home by 4 to get ready for a wedding! Mid cities area is fine.

[RobVX]

Tone/Lisa:

Any word on making the VH concert? I don't think we should be changing the meeting time and location if you guys are still coming up Saturday, unless it also fits your schedule. Rob

[Tone]

We can’t make it unfortunately so please meet at a more convenient time for everyone else - sorry we can’t be there to meet the new folks but I’m sure you all will make them feel welcome. I got a mail from an owner in OK who is going to make it.

[Jay Dunford]

OK, 11:30 am at Don Pablos parking lot at the junction of 121 and 114 in Grapevine. We can take a poll if everone wants to eat somewhere else. There are a ton of resturants right around there.

[vx69]

That souds fine to me

[KristyRemo]

Perfect. I'm excited.

[tomdietrying]

I'll be there.
Tom

[KristyRemo]

Now I'm having 2nd thoughts about coming. I see all the bada$$ mods you guys have up close & personal & I can't afford any!!!!! =(

LOL J/K Can't wait to meet everyone. It will be myself & hubby Shane, 11:30 DP's parking lot off 114 & 121. See you all there!

[tomdietrying]

Tone,
Who's coming down from Oklahoma to the DFW Meet?

[RobVX]

I'm in as well!
George from Arlington said he thought he could join us.
Should be fun...hope the rain is outta here by Sat. morning.

Rob A.

[vxkween]

We should be able to make it as well...will know for sure tonight.

[geshaw30]

In case the storm rains your plans out you're welcome to head south the following weekend...the invitation stands

[KristyRemo]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VX is in the shop this morning. They "may or may not have time to get to it today". Last night, on the way home from softball, some guy was being an ***** & wouldn't let me over on 121, so I punched it, & BOOM! Sounded like I blew a hole in the muffler or something. Looked like the muffler separated from the exhaust, but it was too dark too tell. PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for me that its something THAT simple. I am totally BUMMED that we can't make it tomorrow, but I'm more stressed that it'll cost a bunch to fix......

[Dallas4u]

Did you actually get up under there with a flashlight and look at the exhaust? Did you notice the seperation? If that is the case, then it is a 5 minute job, and you should have it in no time.

Good luck!

[KristyRemo]

Nope, didn't have a flashlight. Had to use a penlight. =/ I'm HOPING it'll be a 5 minute job!

Thanks for the mail Tom. I appreciate it.

[Tone]

Sounds more lilke the EGR nut came undone. Either way, you could drive to the meet and have one of the guys check it out for you - it will not hurt to drive it that way but if it is the EGR, you may have some dimished performance.

Jay, bring your 22mm wrench.....

[Jay Dunford]

Thanks to everyone for coming out, it was great to see y'all again. We had the usual suspects present as well as an unexpected newcomer - welcome to the group Scott:

Tom - White VX w/ Ron's skidplate
Jason - Foxfire VX
Rob - Black VX
Me - White VX lifted
Scott - White VX

[tomdietrying]

Yeah, let me second what Jay said. It was great to see everyone again.
Peace.
Tom

P.S.
Yesterday, I ran into another Ironman owner from Plano. He's had his since '99. He wasn't aware of the board, but now hopefully he will post.

This is what I was thinking. It's happened to the best (most?) of us!

Decent pics... people at meets should take more pics of the owners as well! I like seeing what belongs to whom!

[Fusion]

really wanted to make it to the meet, but my carpenter took long than expected... didn't finish until 6pm. will definitely try to make it to the next dallas meet.

thx Tom for all the updates tho.

[KristyRemo]

Well, it ended up costing me $100 bucks, & I didn't even get her back until this morning. Jacka$$es said they just didn't have time. =/ They said the exhaust separated from the muffler & had to be re-welded. Oh well. It's fixed & back in shape & I'm happy. SOOOO wish we had been able to make it to the meet. When's the next one?! I'm ready Freddy! =P

Lemme guess... you took it to a dealer? ;)

[vx69]

I agree the meet was lots of fun, I love J's new lift. His VX looks awsome!!!!!

[KristyRemo]

Nope. Took it to a muffler specialty shop.
