Ha ha, I ain't a big dog but thank you
I just wanted my name to be in yellow!

Well, that was a splendid meet. I couldn't stay the whole time but I did hear that there was money paid to bump to the bigger pavilion after and I think Rodney did some burnouts with the turbo TL? HUGE turnout, actually. Mine have never been more than maybe 15 cars.

Sounds awesome, man! Looking for to it!

Joe, we still on?

Adam, we still trying to swap your tails? Try and bring tools necessary.

Everyone stay hydrated and bring water and sunscreen, maybe some tunes. Cameras...

Ha! Even if we say 30 people, only 10 will show. Generally speaking I like to keep it simple and flexible. I can bring charcoal, of course...that's easy...throw a few dogs on. Or we can hang and head out to eat somewhere too. Not everyone usually joins to eat.

I can't believe that was 4 years ago already! WOW...
MSala, what's your actual name. I feel odd calling you by screen name.

PS, didn't mean to be harsh about how I recalled our exchange.

Family, I'm not sure, man...I can commit to bringing some charcoal and getting the grill going and people are welcome to throw stuff on the grill or we can ride to somewhere for lunch. Fuddrucker's in Pembroke Falls?

HEY MY CAR MADE THAT VIDEO! @49 seconds!

You're probably a better Chapter Leader than me!

Come in whatever car, man...or stock, even. Be good to see you.

Honestly, Mike, I'd move it a week but I'll be in Tampa that weekend AND more importantly this is already the 3rd date change and a few people seem like they're making the arrangement to be here. If you can join for a bit, that'll be cool!

So, I'll be you hand puppet then?

Family guy, ain't nobody drag racing or giving out trophies, man. Come stock, get ideas, kick around mods. We're supposed to be installing ggesq's RDX calipers and helping Adam swap out his tails. If there are any other simple mods to be done, bring tools and whatever you're looking to do.

Sure Pinocchio...

I have done my tails several times without taking the bumper off. It's not that bad.

I'm building up our group. So far we have 21 people in it. Thanks you to those who have joined. It will make it must easier to have everyone in one spot.

Sounds good lookin forward to it

Btw, I have an extra set of brakemotive drilled and slotted rotors that I'm thinking of selling if anybody's interested let me know, shoot me a PM, and I can bring them to the meet. Sry for the shameless plug, just figured it'd be a good opportunity for someone local.

One day we should have a super florida meet or something, looks like we have a lot of guys up in Jax too. We should all meet up ~mid-state. Like around Orlando or cocoa beach or something. Maybe summer 2014?

Hey, man...that works. Bring them just in case, never know, someone might need a new set of rotors!
I still love mine.

Mike, great idea, man...a lot of people don't surf the Regions forum anyway so a group makes it MUCH easier. I appreciate the help. I agree on the tails, I've never droppped entire bumper either...and the ones that I've modified, I cut the tabs off the bottom so once they're on, they'll come off with just the 4 inside trunk bolts.

And, small update that only really affects me:

Father in Law's birthday lunch got dropped on me this Sunday. Family first I'll need to be in Miami by 2pm Sunday. Obviously the show goes on without me, but I Do plan on being punctual and showing up to the hilltop at the park by 10am on Sunday. Adam, if you can plan on being there around then too, that'd be great so we can knock out your tails. Ggesq (Joe) isn't going to be able to make it down so I won't have to give him a hand with the caliper cover install.

For pictures, I'm thinking we can either pick a local road, or look for one with trees...otherwise we can jump on I 75 for higher speed pictures. I'd love to find a deserted road in the warehouse area off either Sheridan or Griffin. I'll have to bail by 1pm to go have a family time lunch so I'm out for lunch/charcoal duties.

That's fine, we will knock out those things and go get some shots. I'm making it a priority to get some of mine too this time.

Jonathan, next time!

It was at the top of the hill, can't miss us. We were there till around 130PM, took some rollers and then I had to head down to Miami.
