Hmmmm. Giving it some serious thought. Sounds like fun. Some danger that I'll have so much fun I'll change my mind about selling 'er.

Kahunaville, huh? A bit of a drive but I have a cool ride...

OK....gonna check my schedule but this sounds good to me!!

Good job Spike! I know we chit-chatted about this spot before, should be real interesting with all us there.

Hopefully we'll get some nice weather too.

we can investigate a rain date as well...

We can all meet and "convoy" into the show. So, who's interested??

Is that a yes Jumpnugly???

How 'bout some other VXers???

Eckstream & VX_PA If you guys meet up somewhere... and then head down 100 through West Chester, I am sure VXEJR and myself can meet up with you along the way.

He lives out that way, and i can take a side trip through there.

Then we can take 202 straight down to 95 ...

Like i said before, I can customize maps and email them to everyone who is going...

Hook me up please, I may be too sick to go to work that weekend;)

Okay.. I will cough in this post... make sure you get really close to your screen and read it again about 2 days before the meet.


COUGH!!!
;puke:

So anyway, anyone who is even remotely interested in going on the 18th.. send an email to spike913@yahoo.com Please include the address you will be leaving from.

;eekr; I'm edging toward "yes" but would be a 5.5 hour drive for me from North of Pittsburgh. Would be interested in a convoy along the PA Turnpike. It would be so cool to get a whole line of us going.

I'll e-mail you Spike since you offered to look at convoy scenarios.

Yeah I can meet up with VX_PA& Jumpinugly if youre comming on the turnpike.... We could meet at the morgantown exit and go from there to wherever.... I kno exton/west chester pretty good so all we need is a spot to meet up down there... Let me kno

What time would we want to arrive at the car show?

Eckstream - were you in West Chester about a month and a half ago ? (when there was snow on the ground)

Time? Good question... For the most part we need to accomodate y'all who are coming in form 2-3-4-5 hours away if we are trying to do a convoy arrival...

Get me the starting points ASAP so I can run the maps and figure out all of that.

I was in West Chester about a month ago visiting friends. Ebony 2001 (0761).

Yes, I am up for a get together. Count me in.

Howard

BTW: Just got back from a 3,200 mile run to Florida and back. Did NOT see any VX's.

Nope.. it was an IronMan that I saw...

Hey there,

To everyone who is planning on meeting up at the Morgantown exit of the PA turnpike:

If someone near there can give me a landmark , then I can plot it on the map...

(rest stop, gas station, fast food, or just plain something with a parking lot that is visible from the road)

Thanks!

It wasnt me..... Been about 3mos since I was in WC. We must be in a VX hotspot here in SEPa!

Uh Spike.... There really isnt much in morgantown as far as a parking lot goes.... there is a rest stop about 9-10 miles east of morgantown on the turnpike.... Its across the highway from a sunoco station about 1/2way between morgantown and exton... I was planning on waiting on the on ramp for the turnpike till i saw some vxs go by and catch uo to them.... or have someone call me like 2miles away from morgantown..... My cell# is 4843331552 if anyone needs to get ahold of me.

I knew there was a couple rest stops out there somewhere. But it is so infreqent that I am out that way, I wanted to check.

The simplest thing to do is ask...

I tried to PM you my address Spike, but your box is full.

I also modified the list of who is coming.:D I know there are more VXer's that are in the surrounding area, come out to the meet!!

Odd thing is, my PM box is actually empty... go figure...

So should we make this game plan official?

How about an initial merge near Morgantown from everyone in Central and Western PA

Then a secondary West Chester area merge for everyone else who is north and east of there via 202... after that.. we all head down 202 to 95 to the auto show.

If Anyone else south of West Chester or those who might be coming down from points north of Philly, via south I-95, can just meet up with us down there; rather than head back north to meet the West Chester convoy.

We can pick official spots as we get closer to the date.

Guys,

I am in too. What time? I live in Wilmington.

Robert

Spike,

I sent you an e-mail. Let me know if anyone else has emailed you but hasn't posted here so I can add them to the list of attendees. Also we need to set the time to meet.

Amack76-- I think Bantan is going to try to make it down from NY. Maybe you can get in touch with him??

No one else sent me emails as of yet...

Directions to KahunaVille:
When we get the number and meeting time locked down, we should call them and see if they can set aside a spot to line us all up. (Or at least let them know we have a group of cars showing up all at once)

Anyway, here are directions for those not planning on taking the convoy (posted from their web site)

From North
-Take 95 South to Delaware
-Cross into Delaware and take Exit 6. (Martin Luther King Blvd.)
-Including light at bottom of ramp, go 4 lights and make left. (Lancaster Ave./M.L.K. Blvd.)
-Go 3 lights and make right. (South Madison St.)
-Kahunaville is 1/4 mile down on left.

From South
-Take 95 North to Exit 6. (Martin Luther King Blvd.)
-At bottom of exit bear right and stay in right hand lane. (turn only lane)
-At next light make another right onto South Madison St. and get in left lane.

Blaming Philadelphia drivers?

Well according to "Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain" on Speed TV

"Which State Has The Worst Drivers."

The Final Results... (not in order)

Massachusetts
Florida
California
New York
New Jersey
Ohio
Illinois
Texas
Virginia
Maryland

hahaha it wuz a joke my friend....
however i drive thru philly everyday and most people on RT 76 drive really bad....
besides the fact the person who hit me.....did so by rear ending me in the rain at 4am in the middle of the highway while doing 50mph with no other vehicals around! he does not sum up the states drivers as a whole, but that is pretty damn stupid if you ask me...

LOL anyway no offense intended my friend..
kevin

Oh no offense taken whatsoever.

I know it was a joke... The PA vs NJ driver debate has gone on since the first vehicle from either state crossed the Delaware... and that battle will never end.

However, I find it quite amusing that PA didn't make it to the top (errr... bottom) ten list.

So while I actually agree with you that Philadelphia drivers are awful... this news shows that NJ and at least 9 other states are worse.
;Db;

Kahunaville eh? Never heard of it, but I cant be too far from it. I have to look and see if I have anything like, sleeping in, penciled in for that day, so maybe I could pop up. Although, my VX is pretty torn down now from trying to get the early start on spring modding. Too bad the weather still sucks too. :rolleyes:

....... poor drivers ..........
.
I thought Western PA was the king of bad drivers .......
.
until I witnessed out-of-towners attempt to drive on the rolling/hilly terrain of Western PA when snow covered ...........
.
and then my definition of a poor driver changed !
.
some out-of-towners have trouble with the hills and curves - when they are dry - let alone snow covered ........

Okay now that we have gone way off topic (guilty as charged) ... should we start a new thread elsewhere for bad drivers?

Yea those rolling hills and curves freak out out of towners... But if you know a road REALLY well... they are great for finding out what a vehicle can really do. (Just make sure you heed the animal Xing signs)


Wormgod, how torn up can she be? What kind of mods are you doing to it? Inquiring minds want to know.
So put the wheels back on, and drive on up to Kahunaville.

Spike:
.
(sorry) ......
.
I can not make it this year - but you may see me at the next get-together .... I'm in Western PA .....
.
although I am not exactly looking forward to hours on the highway with 4:30 gears ..........
.

I really wish I knew where all the VXs
(in Chicago and Pittsburgh) were when I bought mine up in Green Bay and drove it back.

Interestingly enough, I saw an ebony, when I was in town (Pittsburgh) back in December. It was at a stoplight around the corner from the Best Western, where I returned my rental car...

Some blonde woman was driving it.

Nothing major, I mean, I still need it to get to and from work. Much of the interior is taken out. Some sent to Carbon Werks, the rest just sitting in my garage waiting for a nice day to put it back in. I still have some adjucting to do of body panels since I got it back from the body shop too. Some of the body lines are off and gapped. I just need a nice weekend to get this crap done.

Ah, and also blew my front tweeters.

She sounds bad and looks a little rough, but I still love my little redheaded stepchild. ;)

Wormgod,
You're too modest, your Vx is hot!!!!

Sounds easy enough to get to, and only about 2 hours away (we all know it will only take me 1 ;) ). I will do my best to make it, but it will be one of those last minute decisions for me. Been working overtime on getting back together with the old girl and it's turning out to be quite a time consuming operation. :rolleyes:

Everyone, sorry I have been out of touch past week or so... I had quite a lot going on.

Anyway, the big day is coming and we need to figure out meeting times.

So far, for the west and central PA group, the rest stop just east of Morgantown turnpike exit looks like the most promising. It's visible from the highway. (I hope that is the one I think it is. It looks like a real wide open piece of paved shoulder?)

After that, anywhere off of 202 in West Chester will work for the second stop on the convoy.

VX4EJR. Eckstream... any place stick out in your mind for easy access and visibility? The hotels near EB's corporate office/across from Spazz Beverage? The shopping center where 202/322 meet?
The newere shopping center just south of there (the one with Bennigan's)

I believe they start things going around 10:30 at Kahunaville, but I will call them later today and find out for sure.

I just hope this weather improves!!!

...Sounds kool, I make no promises, so keep your eyes peeled I just might surprise y'all and make a cameo...Nav, steps back into the shadows :homer:
