To allow everyone enough time, lets try and get together on Saturday July 2nd. The more 8's the better. VP fair is a possible idea, but not sure if everyone wants to deal with that large of a crowd and the mess for parking. At least this far in advance we have about 2 1/2 weeks to get a meeting time and place together. All other planning can go from there. What is everyone's ideas on this?

Forgot to mention, July 3rd is good to or even the 4th. Figure everyone will be doing their own family/bbq thin on the 4th though.

The 3rd works better for me. I will be in KC on the 2nd. I do also believe that meeting at the VP Fair would be a mess. I think that Creve Couer is still the best place, we just have to be more specific this time. I can put together some specific directions, if we can agree on that location.

BG80, I haven't been on here for a while. How is your car? More importantly, how is your neck?

Hey carguy, the 3rd sounds good to me. Car is all back together and looking great. It just recently took 2nd place in the O'Fallon, IL Mayfest carshow. There were about 250 cars entered. Neck is getting better, mainly the lower back is all screwed up. I'll probably have that pain for the rest of my life. Some days better than others I guess. I know spdspappy hasn't been on here in a while. However, his wife did just have their baby about a month ago. So congrats to him and we'll grant him that excuse for being a stranger. New baby has to come first. Hopefully we can get some other people to join us. Maybe meeting up at Dave & Buster's parking lot might be a little easier this time than the Park. Just an idea.

Third is better for me as well. Hopefully Ill have my car back from the dealer by then.

How does this sound, Noon on July 3rd at Dave & Buster's parking lot. We can maybe grab a bite to eat there or somewhere else, we can decide on that when we meet up. Everyone will probably know what they are more in the mood for then. And from there we can also figure out where else we may want to go. Does this sound good, or are there other suggestions for time and place. If we do decide on D&B and you don't know where it is, take I-70 to Earth City Expressway South. Make a right at the first set of stop lights (Riverport Plaza) and follow the loop around until you reach D&B. It's about 3/4 of a mile once you turn into Riverport Plaza. D&B can seen off the south side of I-70. Let me know what you think everyone......

Sounds like a plan..

do you guys mind if an 18 year old comes along?

baseballgenius80

Any age is fine with me. I am 25 myself, so I might be a younger one in the group too. Not really sure. All that matters to me is that you plan to have a good time and you love the 8 as much as the rest of us.

miendiem

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll see you guys there.

Don't worry about age...I'm 23 and look ~18 lol. At least that's what some people tell me.

Katie

miendiem

What, did you grow younger since the last meet, Katie? ^_~

But yeah, age didn't seem to make much difference the first couple of times out, so why should it now? And, since nobody asked, BG and I share an age.

So looks like it will at least be the five of us. Good size group I'd say. This may seem corny to some, but it would be neat if we could get at least 8 of us. Then we would have 8 8's. But hey, if we end up getting just the five of us or even more than 8, that's fine too.

Hope to see the other four of you there, which so far looks to be:

Also, I received a PM from Modena. He said it would be alright by him to post this so here is a little added post for everyone. Maybe an idea for something to do once we meet up.

Alright, another tally on the list. The more, the merrier.

modena

Refreshments are mostly with a flavor of alcohol.....
(So you guys/girls know)
Bring bating suits/shorts to, you will need them....
Hopefully have the HKS intake and Tein Basic's installed then....
Waiting on price and confirmation.

Wow, I've been dormant for a while and all of a sudden people are getting organized. Nice! I think I'll be available that weekend... as I'm recently single.

modena

O'Fallon, MO?
Pm me I might have seen you!
I work in O'fallon....

fourdoor

Hmmm I don't own a bating suit...is that some new trend I don't know about

Sounds sweet. I really want to start modifiing mine but kinda torn...mod the rx8 or buy a ford lightning and dump money in that and leave the eight for just crusing....decisions decisions...It changes daily. I already have a money pit with the sc300 you think I would learn.

Katie

sounds like stopping by your place on the 3rd with the group might be a good idea there Modena. Have to get your number to figure things out and we can go from there. PM me if you would like. And already got my bating suit, yes Katie, it is the newest trend. Everybody is doing so run out and get you one.
