Meet/cruise. Alabama 8/29/09
 

As requested, on Saturday 08/29/09 at 10 a.m. we will meet up at the what-a-burger in Pelham on hwy119 then at 10:30 a.m. we will head out on 119 to hwy25 (29 dreams) in Leeds for a cruise in the mountains and back. Should be pretty fun and we should be back around 12:00-1:00 depending on how long we drive. Please no stupidity. And be careful on the mountain and watch for motorcycles and state troopers, which the rotary group seems like the most responsible out of the whole import community around here so dont let me down haha. Hope to see you guys there!

Sounds good Mike!!!

Question... Can we meet somewhere near Leeds?? I live in Irondale area which is only 5-10 min drive to Leeds. Maybe at the Chevron station at Barber exit??

Just curious.. I don't want to go all the way to Pelham than drive back..

I'll bring my camera and I also have some car mounts for video cams.

You don't want to drive???? what? j/k

Are you going to goto this Kev?

too soon to tell. I'll know the day before. this could be my last weekend to make it to the lake for a while.

I responded on the other board, but I am definately in!

Kev, I thought you were car enthusiast not boat enthusiast.. LOL! J/k..

Red Dragon, good to see you are going to make it.. Hope few more rotorheads will make it to this drive out.

I am an motorsport enthusiast. :)
Boats, planes cars etc. I'll probably go. It's much cheeper than boating...

Am in too

If my parts are in and I have time to install, I'm in.....

Yeah im sure we can meet you somewhere in leeds. we are prob going to have a decent sized convoy. The only problem is we are probably going to take 119 to get there so could you meet us in downtown leeds?

and please, no boats on the road please it might look suspicous LOL J/K:rofl:

I might just meet you guys down in Pelham then... :)

Actually, I might meet you guys on 119 near Grants Mill Rd. There is a small church just before Grants Mill Rd on the left.. I'll just chill there and wait for you guys..

Also, you guys interested in doing lunch or something afterwards in Leeds??

Mike, can you guys give me a call when you are leaving the burger joint?

What happens if the weather is shitty?? As of now it calls for Isolated T-storms.

Yeah you can just hop on the convoy there if you want.

And i suppose we could have a lunch break. where do you want to eat out there? I know there is the sonic and thats all the eating places i know of in the area lol
And yeah ill give you a call when we leave whataburger.
If the weather is too bad to drive in there is a strip joint called the furnace, na im just kidding. If the weather sucks we will figure something out

I've been to Furnace.. Its kind of lame though.. :)

Well, how about we goto chinese buffet or something in Irondale?? There is one on top of the hill on 78. Its cheap, ton of parking, and pretty decent food for a buffet.

sounds good to me. What? food is on you? ok thats fine haha j/p :rofl:

hey Phil I would like to meet you there to what time do you think you'll be there

I was going to leave when Mike calls me.. It will only take me about 15 mins to get there.. and probably 20-30mins for them..

Do you want me to call you when Mike calls me?? I think I'm going to take the 8..

You want me to call you when we leave whataburger right?

Yeah! That would be awesome... Just call when you roll out of Whataburger! Thanks man! And see you on saturday!

well I live north west side of town a about an hour away from Birmingham I guess I'll leave my house at 10 and I'll call you when I get to Lees

Hobby,

I'm going to meet them on 119 and Grants Mill Rd. If you take Grants Mill all the way to 119 and make a right, there is a small church on the right hand side with a gravel parking. If you want, I could meet you there. I'm guessing if they leave Whataburger at 10 (I'm guessing they will leave more like 10:30) they should reach the church around 11. Do you want to say we meet there around 10:45?

How's the weather going to be for this? I still plan on going.

It says Isolated storms.. But sunny til 11AM.. 30% chance from 12PM on.

Sweet. I'll try to catch these guys at whataburger.

come on out man. its probably going to rain on and off like today but it will still be fun.

dude if you would have posted this on the huntsvilledrift forum i would have gone to the meet and brought that stuff to sell to your friend!

lol no wait.. i drove to knoxville today to meet a guy named kevin landers and to give him my money to build something nice for the rx3

You got an rx3? thats awesome man, yeah you should have come out and brought some of the htown guys with you!

To highlight the event: Next time we need to meet up at a gas station :D . On the first leg of the cruise we added up to a good line of car, then I lose all electronics in my car-no gauges no electric fans no brake lights! I take it easy over the mountain and everyone is having a great time, its been a long time since I have seen a line of cars like that going through the mountain. On the return im behind dzire, herblenny, and kevin. # rotaries in front of you shreding the corners was a sight to see/hear.

Had a lot of fun guys! Definantly would like to hang out with all of you guys again

Next time, a little more than a weeks notice would be good as well.

will do!

Great meeting a couple of you guys

never been there. details?

I went there last year with some rotary guys and it was pretty cool.. its bit out of the way (near Anniston, AL). Drive is ok... Not quite like the US129 but still pretty neat.

Some? LOL... it was like 20+ cars that showed :driving:
