      If you make it the Mongolian Barbecue in downtown Ann Arbor, you might just see my family and I there. We usually go to the Grand Rapids one, but Ann Arbor is a lot closer to the city. Parking is a biatch, though. If my family bails on me, anywhere you mangs want to go is fine by me as long as it's somewhat on the way home for me.

        I copied your posts, I can be the go-between for CVN, Colin usually does this but I figger I am up now anyways.

        They built a new structure a few years back, It near by so parking is NOT free but its covered and easy. besides I thought the guys with exhaust work might like to park way up so they can hear themselves...Heck I would if I still had Fakin

            So we're definitely talking Jan. 18th in Ann Arbor proper?

            How's the college-kid and Christmas shopper traffic this time of year? I hope to never set eyes on Ann Arbor students or shoppers ever again.

            And just a thought, but I do think it'd be a lot more sporting for a car meet to find a location with regular parking available. As usual, I'd suggest something along the lines of the "Los Tres Amigos" location just off I-96 in south Lansing, which would be beyond easy for those passing by this general direction (i.e. me, Greg, and Nater if he comes).

            Come to think of it, there's a Culver's that often hosts yuppie car meets during the summertime, but it's a pain to get to (about 5 or 7 miles from the freeway).

            If I were to leave directly from church in East Lansing, I imagine I could safely be in Ann Arbor by 2:15 or 2:30.

              yeah what we did last year was we eat at applebee's there was a nice parking lot there.
              or if you guys want we can choose a different place to eat. I think the afternoon is better last year it was around 11:30 for lunch
              colin see if you can get bobert and the rest of the cvn mangs to come we had a good turn out last year hoping for a good turn out this year I see bobert posted over on cvn allready

                  let me know where you guys want to eat. I think the 2 -3 time frame is the best time frame it's in the afternoon no to early no to late. I know rizzio would kill to see the pos in action he does admire the pos lol

                      Chicagoland crew votes Go Mongo! There is a full bar for those who enjoy it's services, and the place is friendly to people arriving at different times. It's been about five years since I've been to the Ann Arbor one, though. Anyone been to it lately?

                      Of course, being in down town, it's not a good choice for parking, checking out, and taking rides in each other's cars. Speaking of which, if I do make it out there, it will be in something boring so where I park makes no difference to me.

                      The "POS" was dramatically transformed the same day it left my driveway for the last time. Since that day, a lot of work has been done to it, so it probably deserves a new name. Michael, do you have a name for it yet, or is it just "The P72"? Will it be put back together in time to make it?

                        You're right, he is pretty batty over this little heap. Progress with the exhaust has been slow-going, but I'll do my best to have it back together and re-tuned if applicable!

                          I still don't have another name .... been calling it "the P72" since it's the only P72 I own. I presume this "dramatic transformation" refers primarily to the tint removal?

                          Aggravatingly, I still don't have the broken collector stud out ... haven't even gotten time to throw a stud remover on it .... though I'm still clinging to hope that progress will be comparatively quick once that's attended to.

                          One downside is the fact that if it makes it, it will likely have to show up sporting snow tires and grody silver wheels, and I'll be lucky if I can get it cleaned up and presentable due to the consistently low temps. So forget those pics that look like the MIB car plus a few years of real street duty!

                              Do we have to do mongolian BBQ?
                              I guess that would be ok, but I really liked that Applebees.
