Oregon/Washington Mini Meet Anyone?

I'm up for a tillamook burger, but make mine a vanilla malt. No promises that I'll be there in time though but will certainly do a drive by and park. Little Laurie, hope it's at the same place as last year. here are the directions from the poster:

DIRECTIONS: West bound on hwy 99, just before you enter the downtown area of Newberg. Make a right turn on Villa Road. Travel down Villa till you come to Newberg Christian Church located on the left.

number of vx's, well, me, TechyD, JAFO, so far and hope you. JGeorge264 across the river from you might be down for a burger and check out the show.

Hope to see you there, might be fun

Rowhard - Right on with the directions! (Villa is at a light - big intersecton so easy to find). The church is at the end of villa by a big open field, so again easy to find. There should be plenty of signs, with arrows, as well.

If anyone needs a map: http://www.newbergcc.org/Map.aspx

Also Burgerville is on the south side of 99W near the East end of Town (near Elliott Rd.)

LITTLELAURIE - Come on over! There'll be lots of cars, and looks like a nice # of VX's as well. (At this rate it doesn't look like my Challenger will make it, but PHO2G4 isn't either, so... I guess he won't be disapointed) :eek:

JGeorge264 - Same goes for you, come on over! A fun way to fill a Saturday!

JAFO - Burgerville? If Rowhard may be sliding in a little later we could aim for more of a 6:15/6:30 ish (I'll probably show up and hang in the parking lot till someone arrives - if Nobody by 7:00 I'll have eaten and see ya Saturday ;) ).

Good news, I will be leaving Olympia sooner then planned so will make it in time unless the bridge is out

I'll be there. I haven't managed to get the VX clean yet. But I still have tonight and tomorrow morning.

I did manage to remove the roof rack in preperation for cleaning, and I'll have it back on for the show. Especially since I can't find the coverings. My problem is I put them somewhere I wouldn't loose them.

Great, sounds like atleast us 3 for dinner. Never know, maybe someone else may show up as well?

I loosened the bugs on the front of mine, but I've still got time to finish cleaning, so don't feel bad. ;) I think I can get out of here a little earlier than normal today!!! That'll help.

When you find that spot where you store things, "so you won't loose them",...... see if any of my stuff is there? :p

Nice to meet you today Techy & Jafo. Wish I could have made it there before it was over but you know how it goes.


Rowhard - we passed you on your way out. Sorry that I missed you, was hoping to meet you.

I was running really late cuzz my other half decided today was the day he was in the mood to change my oil, fuel filter, pcv, and do the whole whamma jamma seafoam bit. Holy Hell that stuff makes it smoke like the devil for a few miles after putting it in the intake... but it sure seems to have put some spunk back in to my baby though!

anyway, maybe I'll catch ya'll next time around.

The Pleasure was all ours. I just felt bad that you made the trip and only caught the tail/trailing-end of the show. Good to know your rig is running better and it was fun to see your family and Rig. I wonder if anyone noticed our 3 VX's sitting at that light??? :)

So, for those of you who weren't able to make it... Here's a few Highlights as I saw them:

1) Tillimook Burgers and Strawberry Shakes!!!
2) 4 VX's (3 at a time) Catching attention from every direction.
3) Rowhard reworking my cladding and JAFO's as well!!!! (It's a lot more rich black colored again!) :) :cool: :)
4) I thought Rowhards legs would give out, going up to collect all his awards! (3 of them!!!)
5) JAFO won an award as well! (Hows the batmobile doing?)
6) My friends got to meet some more of my friends! (This was an all around pretty good weekend)
7) Tube Steaks! (Can't forget them - Right off the BBQ!)

I'm sure I missed a bunch of things, so JAFO and Row jump in and give your thoughts if you like. I took a couple pictures on Friday evening and then forgot my camera for Saturday, but I think JAFO took some pics for us.
NEXT YEAR - SAME TIME SAME PLACE!

Yes, good time had by all and I made it back in time to take she who must be obayed out for dinner. Boy, kitchen passes are expensive these days. Legs were fine, but ankle from last bike accident sure didn't like walking in that field. Lookiing forward to photo's since I left my camera in Olympia.

No problem doing the cladding, let the folks here know what you think of that stuff I use in a week or so. You should be able to just take a rough towel after the rains and wipe out the drain lines. I'll bring a crawler next time and do the A arms,... yea right.

If you liked the wheel skin I showed you, post a thread here for the guys that were interested. http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=11330

Derek, as I was turning onto 99 from Villa, there was a ebony making the turn, heading your way. Just caught them out of the corner of my eye, not sure if they saw me wave.

And Mike, thanks in advance of the photos from that Shelby Cold Air Box.

See ya next time

That was me turning on to Villa, (boyfriend was driving) we waved but didn't know if you saw us. (see previous post)

Hi Jody, sorry, didn't see the first post. The back end of your VX sure looked nice in my mirror. See if you can put a mini meet together sometime in Van for everyone.

Awww thanks John <blushing> your back end looked pretty good too!

Just so you don't have to completly miss out, I found a picture of the Challenger from last year (when it was like... Mostly clean)! :)

Also a picture of the 3 VX's at Burgerville USA on Friday Night before the Car show. Pictured left to right (Rowhard, Techy-D, JAFO)http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...humbs/3VXs.JPG

Derek, very nice, wish you had drove that but then I wouldn't have been able to do your cladding. I mentioned the Barrett-Jackson Auction that you have never watched. here is what a 1973 Dodge Challenger Coupe went for last year, not to say yours could sell for this much and you have how many cars hanging around your property. You might just want to do a search of their site to see what you have then maybe you will want to build that barn to put them in.

Wowser - Yeah I'd be happy to sell mine for that! ;) :p
Maybe if I hold on to it and restore it I could retire early.
I do need to build a nice shop where I can restore my babies. By the way it's in a garage, (just a small one and not in Newberg).
Thanks again for the compliments.

Yep, there was approximately thirty to forty cars. I think that the clouds scared off the big crowd. Techy-D said that they had sixty plus last year. But honestly the weather was perfect, nice cool breeze over cast with occasional sun. Very nice day for a car show. Also I heard that there where many shows on that day. Two in Salem one in Sheridan one on the coast. Big day for car guys & girls :)

Even The Newberg Ford dealership brought some new cars; Mustang GT and $60K GT-H and Harley Davidson Edition Ford F-150 crew cab. rohard was eying the cold air intake on the GT and had me take a couple pictures for him.
