Bump
Map updated again. Not sure what city Jag Breeder is from or where he wants me to put in TN so still dont have him or Jag79 on the map. Not sure if you were interested in going jag79. If so let me know and I'll add you to the map. I just added you using the same city as the scan tool post, achysklic.

To me it looks like Delaware or NJ is the midpoint!

 

NJ is good, delaware is a ****hole so I wouldn't bother setting up a meet there.

 

Let me third the NJ reccomendation!



Take care,

George

 

Would there be a forum member as host available? How about any events?


I re-sent my questions to Jag Club of Pgh and included a few additional people hoping to get a response. I asked about 3 events, but specifically about the Corvettes and Jaguars at Linden Hall event, since it looks to be a nice event for a good cause, and Bodyman lives pretty close to that place and I'm maybe 45 minutes away.

I'll post up a response if/when I get one.

Here is more info on that event (Sunday, June 5th -it is the 17th annual event) to chew on:

Veterans committee of Uniontown, Pa. in an effort
to send packages from home to our troops in Iraq
and Afghanistan. A $12.50 donation will pay for
the shipping of one package to one soldier.

 

I'll be in Wildwood, NJ from July 9th to the 16th.. But the only vehicle at my disposal would be the mini van... And nobody get any crazy ideas to mess with the parked K car or 300!!

Oooo... I could bring my cousin and his 75 Caprice Convertible..

The Corvette and Jaguar show sounds real neat, to be honest...

 

You could roll the X-Type or the Sl if you want....

Take care,

George

 

Hmmmm....

 

Even if everyone decides to meet somewhere else we still have to have a little Jersey mini meet. I owe you a beer or 12!



Take care,

George

 

Jersey or Philadelphia? Either is ok for me.

 

OK - I got word back from the JCOP regarding the Pgh area events.

They said they would be happy to have us join them at the Linden Hall event on June 5th (Sunday) and/or the British Car Day at Hartwood Acres on September 25th (Sunday).

Linden Hall is a country club with a golf course as well. They do have lodging on-site (74 rooms) for around $100 a night. Probably would book up fast for the event though. It is a fairly mountainous area, I bet we could find some nice roads in that area for a tour - Bodyman lives about 15 minutes from there so he might know of some good roads.

Hartwood Acres is a large county park. We could perhaps think about having a cookout after the event at another local park, or bring our own grub to the show. There is a historic mansion on the property that will be open for tours that day.

Their Sewickley car show has space limitations so they said the other two events would be better. Sewickley is a suburb of Pgh.

So there are a few events to consider. I will keep looking for more events too.

 

Chris, If it would end up this way, there is also a recently built Hampton Inn right down the road from me. Laurie's sister and family stayed there at Christmas and said it was pretty nice. Has an indoor pool. I think the rates were about the same. Sometimes you can ask for a group rate too?

Yes Linden Hall is in the foothills of the Laurell Highlands to the west of the mountain ridge. About 15-20 minutes puts you right up in the mountains. Ohio Pyle and Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water are a couple of popular attractions. We usually head that direction on the Harley.

Not trying to push this location just offering what I know.

 

Always having a love of architecture that sounds like an awesome plan. Since the event is already planned just have to meet up throw in a drive or 2 and some get together meals, then head to the show and we got a meet. Plus I've always wanted to see Falling Water.

 

Has a location date and time been set? After 4 pages I gave up trying to figure out where and when. Could that information be given out when things are finalized? Thanks!

 

I'm sure it will be but nothing has been decided yet that I am aware of.

 

Right, a definitive place has not been selected yet.

Maybe we should have a poll of the places/events already posted and see if we have a winner?

When we do pick a place/event/date etc, I could ask a mod (Gus, Caddie, Jim or others) to put up a sticky with all the info so folks won't have to read 4+ pages of us hymin' and hawin' about where to go.

Regardless I think I'll be going to the Pgh events either way unless we pick something/somewhere else for the same dates.

 

I agree, once you all get the details sorted we could put up a thread with all the important information and keep this one for all the less important discussion, like who is bringing the beer?

 

Chris, If you're around, I may go to both...

My New Years resolution was to get back into doing "car stuff"... I was loosing "me" in the family..Need that balance.. I'll probably be bringing some of the kids with me, that is up to them..LOL

 

I consider that pretty important!!

 

Since the Jaguar and Corvettes show has been the only thing posted how about we find out who would go to it on those dates. Maybe a Fri arrival then since the show is Sun would probably have to leave Mon depending on distance. So do a poll on who would attend that event since time and dates are set. Then someone local could see about room rates to near hotels if we get a block of rooms since we will have a ballpark head count. Then we just got to get a restaurant to hang at for a group meal. Get together for a drive and maybe get the hotels permission to do a hang out in the parking lot with everyone and then we got a nice weekend meet for the S-types. Then we got the show on Sun.
