You already have a page of this in the event section... Closed.

 

[fatti03msp]

re-opened, not everyone looks in the event section and/or stuff can be missed easily too in there, us local guys can discuss routes and details about the event and not clutter up the other thread as well.

So as of now Me, TheJeans and Coondog will be leaving from pittsburgh and meeting up with the OH guys on the way.

I Plan on staying 2 nights

 

[Outlawstar98]

Then fatti change the title to something about a convoy cruseing to the event, because there is no need of more then one at all, but info for convoys going to the event is another question.

 

[fatti03msp]

Fixed, its not really a bid deal lol they are just trying to spread the word around about the meet.

they are just trying to spread the word around about the meet.

That sums it up. I mean there are 60+ cars pre-paid already with 2 months to go. Some people may not know about this event and I was just trying to help out. I'm not trying to ***** my posts or anything LOL Sorry.

All you going from Pittsburgh have Friday off(I know Coondogg does)? I want to have a meet point for you all to caravan with the OH crew but I need to see if we are all on the same page. We were thinking of leaving around 11am...Just putting a time out there...Not set in stone at all. Thoughts?

I had 2 meet points just not sure yet if we want to go alittle further out of our way to pick you all up. Easier way would be just having 1 meet point in Columbus.

1. Picking you all up near Cambridge, OH on 70
2. Or picking you all up near Columbus, OH on 70

The best part is the DRIVE with a group LMK what you all think and I can set up the meet point. No big deal if we go at seperate times.

 

[fatti03msp]

11am might work for me and thejeans, we both have to work that day and i was planing on taking a half day.

But with this much time in advance im sure me and thejeans could set something up and work a few extra hours each day and leave early.

But we def. want to meet up with you guys for sure.

 

[jem0473]

What's the earliest time you both can make it to the meeting point (address is below for reference)? Coondogg said he is off that day so time doesn't matter for him I don't think.

Shell Oil Co
1500 Hilliard Rome Rd
Columbus, OH 43228

We definately want to meet up with you guys as well. That address has a bunch of fast food restraurants to grab some lunch as well. I was thinking Chipotle since it's fast and so tasty lol

 

[fatti03msp]

from my apt its a lil over 3hours to columbus, ill talk to thejeans, we might just end up taking the day off. We would have to leave by 730-8.

If you guys want we can all meet at my apt and just head out from there. We can just hop on 22/30 and head out.

That would be good if you both can take off Friday LMK ASAP so I can set up the meet time. We're just trying to avoid rush hour.

I will def b there 4 the car wash on Sat. I am coming from Illinois so won't dp the Ohio thing.

 

[jem0473]

Our central location to meet everyone is gonna be in Columbus. We will now have a second meet location in Dayton due to the interest. If you are driving on Friday and would like to join the caravan then please post up. If you are unable to join the caravan, don't worry cuz on Saturday we will be having a group carwash/detail before the fun begins. If your car looks fantastic already then just come and hang out so we go to the event in one big possy LOL If not, then we will see you there. Looking forward to this great event!

If you have a two-way radio, please bring it! Walmart sells them for $10/15. They come in handy if we lose someone or if we just want to have fun :twisted:

Post up if you are game to meet at either meet point so I know who I'm accounting for. I will PM everyone on this caravan my cell number just in case someone is gonna be late. Text/call and my name is Jess.
