Agreed, we can't let the Illinois members have all the fun! I'm not sure if we can trump the police car in the 'rora lineup photo but let's see if we can get creative in our own way! Maybe get a shot of our Auroras parading past the parked show cars at this cruise night. Some good photo op should turn up (which reminds me, must bring camera!). Meet in front of the Tommy Hilfiger store at 7 still sound good to everyone?

Yeah, I know unirok, but it looks like we'll have at least 3 Auroras there (mine, rocketv8, CaseAce). 3 alike can make a parade (2 is just coincidence!) CaseAce and I in our 2nd gens can bookend rocketv8's classic to bring some symmetry to the lineup. Look forward to seeing you there and meting you.

And YES Javi was out of place, he wore his dam Chubs jersey. Javi was just fine, you mean old man!  Where have we heard this before, hmmm, page 2 of the Illinois meet, Scotty said... So that excuse is blown too! We don't care about the cars, it's just cool to get them together and meet one another. That's the goal of most car clubs anyway, we just get used to the faceless internet format nowadays. also page 2 of the Illinois meet, Oldsnut said... That new college sticker seals the deal, your IN!!! My car is an everyday driver, this is not a car show but a get together. You know, meet and greet those that we have conversed with over the the year/s. It is about friendship not a competition. Comradery! You will make it or I will have my friends on the Rockford PD find you and drag your @$$ there!! OLDSNUT? ... say what ? ? ? ;D ;D So, where have we heard this before last thing, I couldn't actually quote from the Illinois meet thread since it is locked, but I promise you I made no changes to the text (well, other than color  ) I didn't even correct your spelling Oldsnut  ;D oh and last thing, thanks for just calling me Kay ;D *edit* last last thing...NJ,DE,PA,NY,VA GO have a great time! *edit 2* last thing promise...sorry I butted in on your thread  , but you really should go |

I still have bits of metal in my eye from my eye surgery and I dont see so well in the rain. Feel better soon and I would not push it and just rest it for the weekend. |

Gina, sorry to hear about your knee. I hope it isn't anything serious. Better to stay off it for now. Get better soon so you can enjoy driving your car, at least! Chris, I understand about the potential for storms factoring in to your decision. But c'mon! this is summer in NJ! Hot, humid, storms at any time! Just razzing ya. Hopefully next time will be better. Well, it is a little after 6 and time for me to go. I'll see if CaseAce is there.

I am free almost every weekend. If it were not so long a drive for me I would have really made this meet not like I have much more to do here in the middle of nowhere lol |

Well, I (with my wife and young daughters in tow) arrived just before 7 and hung out in front of T Hilfigers for about 15 minutes but didn't see anyone that looked like an ACNA member. Not that I'd know what anyone looks like, anyway. But no one else seemed to be just hanging out there "looking for someone" like we were. So CaseAce, if you were there, my apologies. I didn't see any other Auroras in the lot, either (but it is a BIG lot). Rain showers came in just after 7 and lasted about 30 minutes. The dark skies chased many of the show/cruise cars away before the drops began to fall (on my way in I passed many old cars heading in the opposite direction) but many remained. Saw a nice 69 W-30 442 and two 72's. Also saw a 65 (?) Starfire, which was a rare treat. Oh yeah, there was also a slammed mid 90s Bravada sitting with its frame on the asphalt next to a similarly bagged Toyota, I think. Those, plus my Aurora ;D were the only Olds representatives that I saw.
Since these cruises are on a Friday evening which can be difficult for people to make, perhaps we should shoot to do our own thing somewhere on a weekend day, like unirok suggested. My July weekends are almost all spoken for and August is filling up fast, too, but I'll try to do whatever the rest of you can agree to.

Hi Gina! How's your knee? I'll let you (and everyone who reads this thread) know if I'm gonna make the next cruise night (July 25, I think?). As for weekends, right now my availability for July is thin with only the 19/20 a possible maybe. In August I also already have plans for most weekends and at this moment only Sunday 8/10 is still completely open; all other weekend days are already at least tentatively spoken for. Perhaps we should start planning an '09 gathering instead? |

thanks for asking, alan, the knee is feeling much better, no real damage done....i am going to shoot for July 25 at the Outlets also...we can touch base about that later this month
as far as weekends, there is an all GM car show on Sunday 8/10 at the Lester Glenn Auto Dealers in Toms River NJ....if anyone's interseted in doing a "mini meet" on a Sunday that may be a good place....the car show is restricted to 1982 and prior GMs but we could meet with the Auroras (and Chris's BMW) and check out all the nice GMs in the show....being all GM, our Auroras will be right at home.....figured i'd throw it out there and see what you guys thought

Glad you are feeling better Gina, hey I would like to meet up but it would have to earlier since I don't drive so well when its dark.....dang... lasik. Would it be better to choose a weekend day or is that not good for everybody. I work at home so I can go any day or time.
