Wisconsin / Illinois Meet

Don - we know you tried hard. We can still make this happen.



Prinz - I don't believe there is any electricity at the waysides. If we held it here, it would be mostly just a day to get together with a bunch of other Autopians.

We could still do stuff with the cars as long as it didn't require electricity. IMO, most (if not all) of the cars will be completely detailed before the meet anyway.

It's really a prime location if the consensus is that we can do without electricity.
 
Come to think of it...if we wanted to run rotary and PC practice/intro, electricity is required, and that was one of the things that I'd like to see out of this meet.
 
That's what we have to decide...is electricity essential for the meet? Will we be able to find a place to hold the meet that has electricity, and can park ~15 cars?



Carl you know you can always practice with my rotary on my dad's van (he already gave me permission).
 
I know Blue-Sun had a place, only concern were for the guys that were coming from northern Wisconsin. Some of them were making a 3 to 4 hour drive when it was north of Milwaukee.
 
Paul, do you mind the drive? I don't mind the drive and I can still get a ride from my Dad if things don't work out...he can always find things to do in the Chicago area.

I would be OK with driving to Chicago, but I would like it to be a little closer if possible. D*mn premium gas.

I wish I had my Protege, but it will still be a while. :(



Good news is...I made $130 today, and sold my wheels yesterday for $410 - shipping.



I'm about 1/6 of the way there. When I sell my car I'll have enough for the rest of the amount to get a decent Protege.

My summer job starts on May 7th, and I have a few more details to do soon as well. With any luck, I'll be celebrating my independence from accident damage on July 4th! :woot:
 
I've got a location that we can use, just not on the 9th.



I'm friends with the owners over at P & L motorsports (www.pandlmotorsports.com) in Frankling Park. It's a fairly new shop in an industrial park. There's a wash bay that we can use and if it's a weekend, there will be plenty of places to park. There's enough extension chords that we can either be inside or outside working.



If we go on a sunday, the shop is closed but will be open for us and we'll be pretty much unbothered.



They said it would be like $5 -$10 a person, but that's not that bad of a price for a detailing learning experience.



Let me know if you're interested in having it there and when, and I'll work out the rest of the details (no pun intended)

ps- for some reason I cannot log onto the board while at work (but all other boards are OK and i do most of my posting there) but I'll be looking at this thread when I get home. . .
 
Hi all. I'm new to this forum. I've been around at Meguiar's Online, and looked for fellow Chicagoans to meet with. Someone over there pointed me over here, so here I am! I would be interested in attending a meet where I can learn how to use the PC to eliminate swirls. I don't mind driving and paying a fee.



Some info on myself:



I'm a college student from the northside of Chicago.

I drive a Black (swirl heaven) 2003 4Runner.

I own a PC, but have been unsuccessful in using it.



I would love to attend a meet somewhere here in illinois or in wisconsin. Thanks!

That sounds good to me... :D
 
Excellent, blue! Sounds super-cool. Perhaps get an email group list from OI812 (he was the one conducting the meet information before)...then you can email us all as a group.

Oh I feel so used......Just kidding.



If you need the e-mail list and other info let me know. Glad to send it your way.
 
I apologize for not reading all 12 pages of this thread, but I just wanted to mention I'd be quite interested in attending a meet. Unfortunately, I'd rather not travel any farther than Milwaukee which is about two hours south of where I live now (Neenah, Wisconsin).
 
I never received an email from blue when he told us that it was cancelled (found out through Paul), and now did he send out another one?



What's the news?



Thanks
