Team Cletus-Vette btw, is driving 8 hrs to Chicago with no mufflers because we’re cheap. Looking forward to meeting all you guys!
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:07 |

This is making me feel bad for not driving the Volvo with no mufflers
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:07 |
|
Did I mention it barely runs on pump gas and has 4.11:1 gears? Bring the Volvo!
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:09 |

Wow, Cletus is so popular he’s showing up twice!
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:14 |

There's a 99% chance I drive the 530i wagon. And a 1% chance I go completely insane and try to get the 924 out there (I'll have to bring like 10 quarts of oil).
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:14 |

Or one car two guys? Which is a lot better then the two girls one cup thing

I’m a hard maybe. I’m very interested but there are a lot of questions to answer... mostly about fixing the Mini.
My new suspension bits won’t be here until next week, and who knows how long it’ll take me to figure out how to fit them. Hopefully only a couple of days, but I’m not optimistic. If I can’t get it going, it might be too depressing and I might end up at Road America. Maybe. Who knows.
As an aside, if I do bring the Mini I would either have to abandon it in Barrington or drive down to Pontiac on side roads due to the 55ish cruising speed. I really don’t want to abandon it... but I want to take it to Supercar Saturday. Hm.
To top it off, all of this is weather-dependent since the Mini doesn’t get driven in the rain!
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:19 |

?
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:20 |

The plan is to go down historic 66, so the 55mph cruise speed shouldn't be they much of an issue. Weather I can't help you with lol
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:20 |
|
I doubt it's one in the same
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:23 |

I’m just curious if I will be the oldest person there? You whippersnappers better take it easy on me with all your Twitsters and the Pokie Man and whatnot.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:24 |

If Lehto is in can we change the location to a court house so he can help me with the bakers dozen speeding tickets I have?
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:35 |

Bring the Mini! The Corvette has 4.11 gears and marginal cooling so I could be your driving buddy on the sideroads

I paid extra for the VIP treatment
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:46 |

Would there be any objection if I joined for lunch or dinner? I’m not sure what I’m doing that day so don’t want to commit.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:47 |

No objection, the more the marrier, even if just for a bit

I would pay you (not much) money for you record yourself playing Pokemon go and trying to describe what the hell is going on

At least if I crash into a police car I’ll have a lawyer on hand lol
![]() 07/20/2016 at 13:57 |

Hah well I’m not sure it can handle the 12 hour trip with out blowing up! If it was slightly more reliable i would

The Mini will (at best) be poorly tuned and pretty much un-tested. That’d be a scary couple-hundred miles.
I was looking last night at what parts under the hood I haven’t touched yet in the last two months. Here’s what I came up with:
- bottom half of the engine
- wiper motor
- brake servo
Uh, that’s about it. Everything from the wiper motor to the horn to the clutch to the carb to the exhaust to the suspension to the radiator to the dashboard has been taken apart since Memorial Day. That’s not everything, either.
It should be nice when it’s done, but holy cow do I not want to get stuck 100 miles from home. Mr. Lehto might be able to put that Explorer to use with a tow dolly.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 14:12 |

I’ll be around. I’m not sure if I’ll do the Rte. 66 Cruise, but I will be at Supercar Saturday and the Lombard car show for sure.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 14:34 |
|
I am a maybe. I really would like to make it in the Miata but I have no cooling fans so traffic is no bueno for me
![]() 07/20/2016 at 14:42 |
|
That's ok, if you want I'll add you to the list, I'm gonna post contact info in a bit for every one so they can meet up if they are in the area and get some free time
![]() 07/20/2016 at 14:47 |

Like you need fans for the radiator? I have some I pulled out of a 924

Prepare to be sorely disappointed at the lack of baldness and stunnernanigans.

You’re welcome to ride down to Pontiac with me in the Toadmaster.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 15:07 |

I’ll be shocked if I’m not the second oldest.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 15:12 |
|
There was a slight chance of me wussing out and not driving the Roadmaster, because no AC. But if you’re driving the Vette that far, I can be a freaking man and deal with 3-55 AC (one window doesn’t work either).
![]() 07/20/2016 at 15:29 |

Cool! Can’t wait to see the big wagon
![]() 07/20/2016 at 16:30 |

Sounds good to me. I’ll PM you on Facebook
![]() 07/20/2016 at 16:42 |

I’ll be there in the famous rallycrossing Roadmaster wagon.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 16:51 |
|
I literally have no idea what the game is or looks like, other than the bits I’ve seen on the news. I’d worry that it would be even crazier than you think.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 17:13 |

Please please put on a head mounted go-pro and try to Pokemon go for like 20 min. It will be a viral hit
![]() 07/20/2016 at 17:16 |

Yay I'll add you to the list
![]() 07/20/2016 at 17:58 |

If the weather permits, you can count me in for the Lombard show. I work in the morning.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 18:25 |

I’d probably wind up being the second person to die while playing the game. Some other idiot beat me to being the first.

I wish I wasn’t so busy with school or you guys were coming further south. I have too much school stuff going on to give up a whole day.

Hell, if I go, I’ll bring you some oil...
And your god damn sunglasses!!

Still no idea on my part if I'll be able to attend or not. If it wasn't my birthday that day then this would be a no-brainer. But because it's the 21st birthday (oh lord) I've no idea what my parents have planned, if anything. I won't know until the last minute maybe.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 22:49 |

I want to go but it’s far.

Well I will post contact info a bit about a week out, if you get free time, come join us! (If you want) I'll by you a drink cause why not!
![]() 07/20/2016 at 23:27 |

I understand, I'm driving 700 miles myself to get there
![]() 07/20/2016 at 23:27 |

That's sad where you headed to?
![]() 07/20/2016 at 23:28 |

sorry, you could join us for just the Pontiac bit if that's not too far

No worries.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 23:33 |

I would love to go (you could laugh at my juke all you want), but the lack of money, the low dollar, and no time off it stopping me.
![]() 07/20/2016 at 23:42 |
|
No problem man, I checked it out and Pontiac is about 3 hours each way, if I didn’t have to start studying for finals this weekend I would blow off studying for the day and go have fun.

I’m visiting Detroit for the concours of America, then heading to St Louis

Just as official mod response. I explicitly wrote in an exception to the Sharing is Caring post for Oppo meet ups. Reminders and reposting for these types of events is pretty much required to make them successful, and I’m happy that you’ve got as many people coming as you do.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 00:48 |

Totally understand, maybe us Americans should do a run on the border next year
![]() 07/21/2016 at 00:51 |

no it has fans they just don’t turn on when it gets hot haha
![]() 07/21/2016 at 00:51 |

Thank you, yeah I thought I remembered something to that end, but Better to be safe and ask permission, thanks for the official response! In glad to have this many as well!

as long as I don’t sit for more than 10ish mins im good

Well I can hope for that, but I won't promise no traffic
![]() 07/21/2016 at 00:56 |

I may look into why they are bad and maybe just wire up a switch if I really need too.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 00:59 |

I vote going to for the middle of the country. Winnipeg’s not that bad a place (and only 3 hours away, unlike everywhere else in Canada)
Unfortunately I’m going to have to sit this one out. The Lada’s already signed up for the LeMons Rally, which while doable (getting from Chicago to Monterrey in a week) unfortunately is more than I can take off work at once. I might be able to get away with something in the fall, but two summer trips in opposite directions isn’t going to be possible.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 01:18 |

Winnepeg is a 2000km drive for me, I would say Toronto/Central Ontario. There seems to be a large number of people on here in around that area. It also not far from the border too: 3 hrs Sarnia - Toronto, 3.5 hrs Windsor - Toronto, 1.5 hrs Niagara Falls - Toronto, 4.5 hrs Cornwall - Toronto.

I’m Stanley I’ll be in my WRX for Saturday. Sunday I've doing a track day maybe can join for dinner after tho

I think we need a southern OPPO meet at somewhere awesome like Barbers or Lane Motor Museum.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 09:10 |
|
Toronto is a 2500 km drive for me, and while I’d be willing to hammer that out, for someone in Vancouver, it’s 4500km. Winnipeg is actually right in the middle of the country (like 20km west of the central meridian) and makes far more sense. It’s right around the 25-hour drive mark from both Montreal and Vancouver, and within a day’s drive of Calgary and Edmonton as well. Central Ontario is an armpit, and it would do you guys good to get out and see a bit more of the country.

Once you get my into muskoka area it is down right beautiful. There are so many great roads and scenery.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 10:03 |
|
Well, I’ll give you that Manitoba’s roads are mostly only good for seeing how straight your car tracks, although there are a handful of nice drives, along with the benefit of reasonable speed limits. As far as beautiful scenery goes, meh. Any place without people is going to be pretty awesome.

19. Steve Austin
Will The Rock also be there? Because that might make me consider making the trip.
![]() 07/21/2016 at 17:05 |

I will bring a rock, I don't believe the Steve Austin is the wrestler, based on the face book profile
![]() 07/21/2016 at 17:08 |

Sounds like something the real Steve Austin would do... hrmmmm...

I will actually be heading through Chicago with my E39 that Sunday. Not sure what time, though. Maybe I can convince my copilots to stop by for a while.
Will you be posting updates to FB as to where you are at different times?
![]() 07/21/2016 at 18:08 |

I’ll be posting go face book and Twitter as we go along, stop on by And get some pizza

Two things:
One- Is it too late to RSVP, and for only Saturday? Unfortunately, I am unable to make it Sunday.
Two- Can I bring a guest? The guest will either be my friend or my dad, but that will have to be determined later haha.
![]() 08/01/2016 at 00:28 |

No the more the merrier I'll add you to the list in just a bit! and please bring guest!

Better late than never. I don’t have any of the action shots on my phone, so this will have to do

Is it bad that I just now realized this is a two day event? Looks like I'm sleeping in my car! (or I might just do only Saturday)

Worst case traffic scenario, you could turn the car off and we could get someone to push you along!

Maybe a little bit bad?There are some Super cheap hotels in the area if you want to do both days, otherwise I would suggest saturday
