Atlanta Area, May 17th-08

[Uncle Buck]

well iam gonna be out visiting my folks around this frame so i thought that we could try and get a decent meet up...especially compaired to the joke of meets that we have in my local nowhere of South Dakota:rolleyes:

Place: Varsity
Time: Noon

1. Uncle Buck

[94ludeguy]

are u gonna be in downtown or the metro area. ill try and think of some places

[Uncle Buck]

keep it simple for a small town kinda guy like myself..... easier to navigate for me the better

[94ludeguy]

lol alright

[Si Speed]

The Varsity is a good place. Located right in down town, you can't miss it. Check out importatlanta.com for any meets they might be having that weekend.

[Uncle Buck]

E... dont make me smack a hoe!!!:biggrin: i was just looking to try and get a prelude meet and thats pretty much it....BUUUUT if your not interested then i see how ya are....:rolleyes:

[THE ONE]

Uncle Buck if and when you are heading down here let me know so I can give you my number and we could meet up somewhere.

[Uncle Buck]

will do TEL...

i gotta scope out this so called car scene before i make up mind if i should choose to live out that way vrs. good ol' boonies

[94ludeguy]

theres still boonies about 45 min outside of atlanta. i live on the edge of boonies and the "city"

we could meet at a park and ride lol just throwin that out there

[Uncle Buck]

ya well the boonies to me consists of: i have a stop sign, a yeild sign and a railroad light in my whole town..... for two weeks of the year the town next to us consists of 9000ppl year round gets over populated by anywhere from half to a million bikers for one of the worlds largest biker rallys....

but ya iam down for a small meet up first and roll in..... will definitly help me alot....

[Si Speed]

Well so far I'm game but you know how things get changed at the last second so I don't wanna commit till I know I'll make it. We'd have to have a black 4th gen Lude there so we can have a trio photoshoot of the dark sided ludes. :wink:

[JayKnight]

Varsity is always a good spot to have a meet. Lots of parking, and the food is pretty good too. I have been to many, and will be at many more.

Varsity for the Win. It is worth the hour and a half drive from my house.

Count me in !!! As a matter of fact, my sig pic was taken at the Varsity !!!

[Si Speed]

In that case, the pics in TEL's sig with my car in them were taken at The Varsity. :biggrin:

[InvaderTrax]

The farther north of Atlanta we go, the more likely it becomes for me to show up :P. 200 miles from my house to the dot that says Atlanta. Do I hear 175?

[94ludeguy]

cmon knoxville is not that far i drove from atlanta to LMU all the time in my 3rd gen.

u probly know where that is since ur from knoxville

[94ludeguy]

ok i dont know why it double posted but owell

[1BadBB6]

This is true for me as well although i will try to make it either way.

[Si Speed]

Downtown is 170 for me so the more north, the less likely I'll show. The Varsity is a good medium for everyone. If you know Atlanta, you know where I'm comin from.
We ought to meet up and and go to the Zoo. It isn't far from the Varsity. It's like 2 miles from Turner field right off 75. That'd make for more fun than just standing around, looking at each other. Too bad Willie B died a few years ago. :(

Varsity it is...... sounds like thats where ppl from PP.com wanna meet to.... and the zoo can definitly be arranged..... iam just following the group

[00CDMLUDER]

uncle buck where are u going to be staying in the A? i live in NE atlanta about 45 mins away from downtown. the varsity would be a good place and the import scene is pretty big here although there's alot more 240's around here than ludes. if u dont wanna have a meet in the big 'ol city there are plenty of places in the metro area that are nice and easy to get to. if u plan it right i think u'll have a good turn out so count me in.

[Uncle Buck]

i wont be staying in Atlanta no.... my folks live in KY, so ill be staying out there for my visit..... but i might just go stay up at a lady friends place in Rome.... that or if anyone is game to go hit a local bar or get a huge party going lol.....idk plenty of time to plan.... just thought id see if ppl were interested in having a meet

[Si Speed]

I think the Zoo would be great that way we dont have to plan for people to bring stuff. Just bring money to get in, and if they want to, money for food and souvenirs. That way, if a critical person doesn't show, it won't be a big deal.

[InvaderTrax]

Could someone give me a map link to Varsity? I can't find it

[Si Speed]

[Uncle Buck]

i just looked at that link you supplied there E.... that place looks badass!!! damn it iam kinda getting anxious for this road trip

[Si Speed]

It's cool but the food is expensive for McDonalds quality. Also, if you want a blood clot, that's the place to be. The fries are like a blackhole for grease. But it's still fun to visit if you've never been. I've been twice and it's somewhere I'd definitely take someone if I was showing them the town.

[94ludeguy]

^^^^ but its so good. u can eat there only like twice a year or you will have a heart attack for sure.

there are definitly alot more 240's around there for sure but our cars are so much sexier

[Si Speed]

I always see Civics. Last time I was in the area, saw a red NSX and a black FD. I about nutted myself.

eh not to worried about seeing a FD.... NSX on the other hand i would love to see

[H22A BB6]

i think atlanta would be a good place its sort of in the middle wich is good and plus im sure everybodys heard of it so there really shouldnt be 2 much confusion another reason why it should be good is because its the A dat means a lot of people is going to be there 2 take notice of our cars

[THE ONE]

I hope I'll have a functional h22 by then. I think I'm going to put mine back under the knife. I may or may not make a thread on it but we'll see.

[94ludeguy]

well u have a couple months so no excuses lol hope u make it out there

[Si Speed]

My thread won't be up until the car is done. I hope I'm able to compete with TEL here when I'm done. :wink:

[THE ONE]

well u have a couple months so no excuses lol hope u make it out there


I'm really weird with my engines. Sometimes I'll just wake up in the middle of night and start pulling it out lol... But seriously I think I'm having some kind of grounding issue. It might be wiring issues. I'm not going to trouble shoot anything. just pull it and start from scratch. I feel it's the safest way. I'm also running hell a rich which is not suppose to happen.

[Si Speed]

Have you decided to sell your SH rims yet? I'll trade rims and still pay you for them. :biggrin:

[94ludeguy]

should we make a list of those possibly attending this meet

[Si Speed]

At least one for those interested. I'll be graduating the week after so I'm not sure what kinda preparations and stuff I'll be held to on that so I can't make any promises yet.

[Uncle Buck]

well this date can be moved.... cus turns out iam moving to Kentucky mid to late April... sooo ill have plenty of time to attend some of these meets in the local area.... so E if its to much pressure on ya sir we can bump to a later or earlier date....

[94ludeguy]

whenever ur in town is good with me

[Eklectik Genes]

i don't know how i missed this post, before posting my own, i'll be down, if my car is ready.

[InvaderTrax]

This is something I can get down with. May as well sign me up

[94ludeguy]

bump..... i was at the varsity about 2 weeks ago and we rolled about 7 ludes deep. couldnt really get pics cuz it was dark but it was fun. we held it down tho. this should be a fun meet

[00CDMLUDER]

yeah i was supposed to go to that v meet two weeks ago. there's a v meet the 1st thursday of every month if im not mistaken. i'll go to the next one and will defentaly be at this meet.

[00CDMLUDER]

[94ludeguy]

[Uncle Buck]

daaaaaaaaaaamn that looks badass...... i so cant wait now:biggrin:

[94ludeguy]

oh yeah it will be fun

[94ludeguy]

so what is the deal with this meet... is it still planning on happening or what

[JayKnight]

I will be at a Carshow in Canton that day. I am helping out a friend to get the word out.
For those that don't know. Canton is about 30-45 minutes north of ATL on 575.

If you like doing the show thing, please come on up and help me help my friend. It is for a good cause, and she would love to see more cars show up. Also She has an SH for those that really do care.

PM me for more info about the show, give me an email addy, and I will have her get the info to you.

Later !!!

[Si Speed]

Man, I can't keep doing these north of Atlanta meets. :/

[94ludeguy]

its only the V man cmon how far is ATL from u

[Si Speed]

Downtown is almost 3 hours, assuming I don't hit any traffic. Macon is an hour and a half for me, as is Savannah so I'm basically in the middle of I-16.
If anybody wants some Vidalia sweet onions for cheap, Lemme know. We had the onion festival this past weekend and the Blue Angels put on an air show.

Anyway, Imma just plan on making sure I make it to the first official GPC meet, no matter where it is,

[94ludeguy]

well damn u are pretty much in between everything.

[Si Speed]

Which is why it was a good idea to put J in charge of the north part of the state, lol.

[sleeper_si]

i might stop by

[Rolland]

The Zoo still on too, or just the V? If its just the V, I might hit it, then drop down to the Summit meet afterwords. Its just a 3-4 hour drive, so Im trying to make it worthwhile. I'm not sure if my dad will be up for the V, but I hope to make it to the Summit.

[sleeper_si]

put me down for the v ill be the 12 right

[94ludeguy]

im assuming the V is still on... im up for it... but uncle buck has been MIA for a while and hes the one who wanted to have the get together... as long as we get enough cars that want to go im down

[Rolland]

Headcount? Since Summit is off, and nobody from the forum seems to be going to the outlet mall, I may be able to talk my dad into the V. Maybe. But I only wanna go if there is going to be more than 1 or 2.

So who all is planning on trying to make it?

[94ludeguy]

im not sure if this is still goin on... me and 00CDMLUDER are goin to the canton show...we might go to the V if enough ppl show interest but its not lookin too good

[Rolland]

Eh. :( Maybe I will check into the Outlet mall. Canton is waaaaay too far for me!

[93ludew/h22a]

me and my boy will probally be there
