but as far as ideas, i was thinkin if theres a park or somethin local we could do a lil bbq if anyone would be interested in that, we'd have to coordinate a potluck style thing where everyone brought something
could also find some good locations for photo ops for next years calendar?
id be up for doing some light modding as well, not too much on a VX i havent taken apart in some way so id be willing to help out with some mods while were all together too

If 2:00/3:00 is kind of late then let's get together earlier.
Whatever is the best for all of us i'm on it !
I have a few locations for photo ops as i live near the location we are going to meet at. be it waterfalls and maybe a couple of over looks, and include the highest point in New Jersey. Let me know what you want... from the location it would be an one hour drive to the scenic northern part of the state. if we go along the delaware river there is a good chance to observe Bald Eagles. I hope we can make this get together to happen. Sounds like fun.
Also wondering about food. there is a large food court there at the mall, along with a Sizzlers, Fatburger, a mexican restaurant, and Olive Garden..and a few other eateries. We could reserve tables, or wing it on our own.
Hmmmm.Quote:

With so many things we can do that day i definetly believe we should meet early so we can have a lot of activities going to keep us busy.
Let us choose a location so we can all get there & from there go convoying to desired places.
My camera's memory is already empty to caught all those moments. :p
:bump::dan_ban: big time lookin forward to this.. most vxs ive seen in one place is 5.. hoping for lots more this time!
Do we have a definite date time and place yet? I need to do some work to the VX so she is ready for public viewing. She doesn't get out much . . . only 30k miles.
Yes we do.Quote:

We have plans to convoy from central NJ.
If you want both of us can catch up in queens & cross the hudson together.
What you say ?
Tonight spend couple of hours sending more PM's to more active members.
The call if for all NJ,NY,CT & PA members,but other state members are all welcome
12 days away for our 1rst great meet to take place :clap::dance::clap:
looking forward to it.. my plan is to leave here around 9am so i should hopefully be in the area around 11-1130, not sure of my plans once im in the area but if anyone wants to try to caravan or meet up out there before lunchtime feel free you can give me a call
three oh one six oh six four nine seven nine
Most VX's I've seen in one place is ONE.... I always spot one when I'm in my pick-up .... . so I can't wait to see some of the mods you guys did. Outside of my wheels it's bone stock....
So I'm looking thru some of the profiles here ..... I am by far the Geezer of the group! ..... I'm thinking now ..maybe I shouldn't be driving this thing:confused:
I'm about 15- 20 minutes from the mall if anyone wants to get together before let me know. I'm on 23 north right at the intersection of 287.
Anyone coming from the North (NY State, Conn, etc...) will be passing by me anyway. I can throw some burgers and dogs on the grill before we head over:)
Good,having a local VX'er is a huge advantage.Quote:

Hope to see more VX'ers joining us;We shall be no less then 20 of us causing a huge conmotion in NJ.
If you want send a PM to ANDY C let him know about your proposal.
I'll be heading to NJ at 9:00 & willing to cross the hudson river with any VX'er in NYC together;We can meet up at a convenient location in manhattan,then catch up with other VX'ers from central/south NJ & PA members to make one stop & re-check our rigs to complete the rest of the trip.
Here's my cell guys : 718 314 3767 Please don't hesitate to buzz me,my cell is on 24/7.
( GUSTAVO )
The idea is all members make the the trip to rockaway at noon.
Very important :
This is family friendly reunion so wife,kids,friends & pets are all welcome to came along with.
Thanks !
Hey if you guys wouldnt mind, you think i could meet you anyway evan thought the VX will be at home up on jack stands? I would be driving in my Toyota Tacoma, well if not kool let me kno?
the response to this event is pretty incredible.
Why haven't we done this before? or maybe we have and i just don't know it.
The time now is noon on Saturday? just want to confirm.
I'm really looking forward to this rally.
ill be spending most of the day out there, so noon is a good time to meet up..
shawn, by all means come out even if you wont be in your vx, why will it be on jackstands though?
Good luck out there guys.
The Pacific Northwest VX Meet was a great time. We had 11 VX's. (And now we are getting anther one scheduled.)
The more the better. Any of you VX'ers out there who are listed as maybe or have not yet decided, or have decided no. You need to get involved it will be a great day and you will not be sorry.
Have fun.

This all sounds very commendable. We salute the prospective attendees. We are traveling to the city on Thursday for business, and to turn around and come back to Rockaway on Saturday seems a little bit tight, but it all sounds like a great chance to exchange information and appreciate an oft misunderstood vehicle. A public display of support, so to speak. If the weather is not too hot we might attempt it with one of our VX's. Thanks for creating the opportunity.

Also joe (london 1900) will be there too,he drives a well maintained black trooper.
Thru da lungs hopes you can still host us @ your house for a while. :o
Great !Quote:

I'm willing to ride along with other members coming from south/central NJ & PA to convoy our way up to rockaway saturday morning.
Some where in somerville;The somerset county court house is located on East main street in that county.From there we can go on the I-287 northbound & then join the I-80 to get to the mall.
Kool Kool! I'll cu then, You all be beasts!:evil:
This mall is BIG ....180 stores.
Suggest we pic a spot to meet .... Dicks Sportings Goods is kinda of down in the back away from the crowds....... we can move once we meet, perhaps find a shady spot.... So far only a 10% chance of rain high of 82:yeso:
sounds good to me.. gussie what time were u thinking? i should be passing right through somerville on my way up, so i can meet you there depending on what time
anyone thinking they would like to do some modding? i can bring tools if anyone needs help w/ any

Gustavo,
Not sure if the GWB is an option for you? Once you get over the bridge its a straight run on 80 west for 30 miles.
Gary
Yes gary you right,the GWB is the best option.Quote:

Also looking out for Crzyfool who lives in long beach,LI which is located on the south shore to know if he's finally coming so both cross the holland tunnel together.
Don't know about andyC from CT if he finally is coming down as well as the other ""may be status" members if they also making their mind to get out here.
Hello all. Seems like everyone is ready for the rally day. i'm looking forward to seeing every one & their rides. Except for wheels and shocks, i'm pretty much stock so seeing everyone's version of their ride will be cool. See ya saturday!
funny enough i ran into spike today on my way to work, talked to him for a bit.. he really wants to come but has a job interview saturday morning, so hes probably a no
