Oregon/Washington Mini Meet Anyone?

[JGeorge264]

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???

[Techy-D]

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!)
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

[JGeorge264]

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

[rowhard]

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.

[JGeorge264]

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

[Techy-D]

Dude, that sounds great!

Just one problem: I want to see your VX AND your '73 Challenger! I wouldn't mind driving that beast...can you get a second driver to bring the Dodge to the meet?

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)

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!
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.
