Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-22-2006, 06:13 PM

Hey guys, keep on the caravan threads and get to posing. Dont wait for someone else to post first or no one ever will. We had a lot of ppl begging for them so get to it

People are asking me everyday who is coming from their area, so even if you dont know if you'll caravan, just post n say where youre coming from

Thanks guys and gals, see you soon!!!

Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-22-2006, 06:28 PM

Since some of you will be here at Noon on Saturday, do some of you want to do Lunch and Dinner while you are here? We could say Lunch at 1pm and dinner at 6-7 pm?

Feedback requested, please

monopolizedinc · 01-22-2006, 08:38 PM

whats the menue for lunch and dinner? will me all be attacking some restarunt or what ?

Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-22-2006, 10:02 PM

Asiana Grand Buffet for dinner

Lunch is undecided. Since arrivals will be random, we may suggest that everyone pick up lunch on the way in unless we can almost all be sure we're here by 1pm.

lowboost · 01-23-2006, 12:08 AM

Count me in, might bring my GF, shes awesome, doesnt care as long as Im happy, I will either bring the S2000, 91 NA hardtop, or V8 MR2... pictures of the project at least hahaha. Is porn welcome?... and is it a BYOB? If so I think a lot of peeps will be happy, maybe we can get a keg or two or three or four... for me... jk, I'll be happy with my woodchuck cider.

Yours Truly,
Jeffrey

PS anyone coming from SC on I26 is welcome to meet up with me around the SC/NC line or I will be welcome to drive out of the way a bit to meet then head up. Also I love my S2000, but Im an MR2 owner by heart, and I am building one of the worlds most insaine MR2 so please dont belittle me for driving an s2000 as my daily driver. haha

Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-23-2006, 12:49 AM

Well I think lunch going to depend on how many people are here in time for lunch. If everyone will be here by that time, we can go together, but if not you guys are more than welcome to grab some on your way in.
Off the exit there is your typical fast food places, so thats always a possibility if some of the larger groups are running behind.

Again, dont forget to post in the caravan threads guys, just say hi in there so that people know who all may be interested in meeting up on the way!!

Well if it's a 5 hr drive from ATL then that mean's we'd have to leave here at 6-7ish and it really depends on what time the caravan is leaving whether we'll be there by noon or so. I think for lunch the caravans all have lunch together and then for dinner EVERYBODY will eat together!! Makes it easier on you and everybody......so I hope. I guess the ppl that will be there by 1 can go grab some lunch but for those on a caravan will just grab something as we go I guess..I'm just throwing in my

Hey, what kind of techinical stuff are you planning to cover with this? Are there any particular things that you have had a lot of questions on? are you thinking tuning, swaps, setups, prep for these?

Kevin

Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-25-2006, 12:10 PM

I think it will begin with a Q & A session that will probably lead into a tech bit that will cover the FAQ's.
I am hoping that this session will also get Bryan some more business with his tuning rather than local general-type shops that have little to no experience with MR2's.
Having as many MR2 specific persons/shops will benefit overall. I dont know how often we have had to fix dealer mistakes and mistakes many other general service shops make that are trivial to me. It also saves people time/money when it can be done right the first time without any hitches related to a lack of knowlege pertaining to the car.
Tuning mistakes lead to serious problems, and general service mistakes can mean the difference between you having your car running or not. I wouldnt think twice about putting my own car in the hands of Bryan, nor would I allow anyone to perform ANY service on my car other than myself. I think its a good opportunity for people with questions/needs to bring them out in the open in front of professionals like Bryan and our other vendors.

Spike · 01-25-2006, 12:57 PM

Makes sense to me. I'd like to see that as well. Bryan tuned my car and it really would be nice to have some other folks in the area to split travel/expenses for retunes and such.

mr.deux · 01-25-2006, 01:30 PM

is there anything planned for sunday, or is this mainly a saturday meet?

Locofrancais MR2Guru · 01-25-2006, 05:25 PM

Youre more than welcome to stay into sunday. There may be some things going on if weather permits we could plan a small cruise or something for entertainment.
