I looked at Revolution's website some, and it doesn't look like there's any parking besides street parking. Do you guys still want to go there or find somewhere with a parking lot or something?


Where is it located? Link?

Bring the daughter :P Just kidding. Well maybe We can pick another date. Or let's do this.
Since We're gonna have a thanksgiving cruise on Sat/Sun after Thanksgiving, maybe after the cruise We can do a lunch/dinner?

You guys should do it on the 20th - don't change it on my part. I'll try to make the Thanksgiving cruise but I'm also planning on putting the C70 away for the Winter at the beginning of November (pulling the battery, putting old wheels on, wrapping her up tight until April) so I'll be rolling in the NA S70 which should have the Solars on it by then.

We should do both, but here's another possible location

Ram Pub, it's the Big Horn Brewing Company. And looking at street view they have quite a bit of parking. It's on the North side of Chicago, in Wheeling. Would that work for people?

Lets do the Ram then. Seems like it will be easier. Art and Lee, will that work for you guys? I know that might be kind of a trek for you, Lee.

what time? Like 12?

It works for me, was at the Feb meet. No worries. Perhaps it will be a bit warmer this time compared to the Feb meet.

Awesome. I'm trying to get some of the turbobricks guys to come. I think this would be one of the first interracial forum meets ever. :lol:

I think there's a few turbobrickers coming too. I'm trying to convince most of the milwaukee people to come, hopefully they do. I know it's one of their's birthday that day, so we'll see about him. But yeah, and then us. I just want some TB people there since all the meets are so segregated between TB and VS. :lol: :rolleyes:

That would be cool. It would be awesome if we could get something close to the size of our last meet down there.

Hopefully, when we were there last time we had about 10 cars. Anyone seen the other...well I guess the only S80 in Chicago on the board as of late? He was there last year.

The S80 would be Darnell. As it gets closer, I will reach out to him if he hasn't posted any replies.

:lol: Sounds about right.

Are there any nice roads out there that might be good for a little cruise (weather depending) if we have time? Seeing as we're a little further out of Chicago.

Yeah, once it gets a little closer we should start PMing people and heckling them to make sure they come. :lo: I love..kinda...the midwest, but it sucks seeing the lack of cars here that come to meets.
