LOL! RD keeps trying to get peeps to pay dues .. yea you keep tryin dude.

yea izzin, when it came to organization liek that, i think we all said ... too much. the reason i liek this group is that its laid back, and there is only the commitment level you choose to make. you dont even have to check in if you're going to a meet, you just show up.


but thats just my opinion, everyone else feel free to chime in!

 

I would be willing to front the yearly web costs, just would ask for help for the domain and the software portal costs..

I can front $60 for the webspace a year.

Izz

 

I posted the caravan times for my route. Check the first post for info (tho ill post it right here too). Anyone coming up 355 or over on 90, feel free to let me know if you are caravanning as well and ill post up yer meet times too!!

Chicago caravan info (88 to 294/94)

Stop 1: Portillos Hotdogs | 1500 Butterfield Rd | Downers Grove, IL TIME: 5:50-6:00pm
Stop 2: OHare Oasis (294 near Irving Park Road) TIME: 6:35-6:45pm
Stop 3: Lake Forest Oasis (94 between 60 and 176) TIME: 7:20-7:30pm
Brat Stop TIME: 8pm

 

having our own website would kinda be a huge PITA

 

That's a kind offer to front the money Izzin, however, I'm wary simply because I don't want to see the group getting into a who paid and who didn't, who contributed and who didn't, type disputes.

I think we are very laid back, as a whole. (Like me always prodding and teasing about collecting dues.)

It's really not that much money, though. So if the thought was to support something like that, then I'd have no problem pitching in for it.

 

Can be as formal or as informal as possible. I want it to be laid back, but having our own space would be nice. In particular having our own library of chicago based information and events. IE, any special deals we have gotten from local vendors.

I have no problem maintaining the site.. I dont want to push anyone into it. Just looking at interest.

yea ive asked a couple times to get a chicago subforum here. guess its not in the works.

and for all of you who have asked me, i still dont know why the postcount is not on in the MW forum, it IS on in other regional forums. i have no idea what the deal is with postcount. ive asked and havent heard anything back ...

 

Maybe we can have a spot on Rotory Car Club of Chicago when they get that back up. I did give them a Compaq Proliant server to use for that site

 

that would be handy

 

Haha, I'm invading your thread!


Even though I'm no where near you guys, just wanted to compliment you on what seems to be a really well organized and fun meet!

Next time I'm out in Chi-Town I'll have to check in on you guys.

Oh, and that 'bread crumbs' advice on the navigation is AWESOME!

Well, now back to your regularly scheduled programming.


*cues up RedSheDevil*

 

Well Jedi54, you "cued" up one Devil...if you're ever in town definitely take the time to come out to a meet with us...

 

aw jedi's good peeps! thanks fer stoppin by dood!!!! guests are always welcome!!

watch out for red devil tho, he'll start askin you about paypal-ing dues and stuff ....

 

Kinda a tourist thing for the most part.

Weather looks relatively decent though. How many cars do you have comming?

 

umbra, im not sure how many are coming. this group doesnt require you to sign up or check in, so its just show up and drive

but ill say that IM doing it!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

Ok, just don't really wanna drive down there if there is only like 1 person there.

 

Understandable! I know of three of us that are going so far ...

anyone else want to chime in???? is ANYONE else going to this? cuz if i dont have to make the caravan stops it will save me time too ...

 

speak up y'all!

 

And what is this can it be our logo?

 

That logo's pretty nice...how would it fit on the cars, though?


I'm going to try to get there tonight...

 

May join you all at a different night since I had a business dinner in Schuamburg.
Probably won't be done until 9 PM, then I will head back to the city lake front.
I like my 04' RX8 (Silver, Grand Touring, Appearance, Rotary Accent Package, Nav., 6 speed M) so far except for the service from the dealership near me, AutoBahn in Evanston.
May have to try Jacobs Twin and see. Otherwise, I may even drive it a little this winter if
the road is not tooooooo slippery for the tires. Later

 

^ sent you a PM about joining our group about a month ago ... shows you still haven't read it.

just a reminder, no pressure

 

looks good dude! seriously, you and race should talk

 

im soooooo lookin forward to the cheeeeeez tonight!!! i love cheese!

and this place has my interest piqued too ... bar and cheese market, now THIS i have to see

 

Remember this...........

 

Not sure if I delete your PM by mistake. Will catch up with you all later and see..............
