Attention Michigan MB'ers...G2G this Saturday

I know I've posted about these before but I can't get anyone to show except for the regulars. Anyways, it will be held in Troy at I believe the Logan's Roadhouse. Reply here and I'll relay the information. I think whunter will be there as well as mysel (hopefully), rg2098, and BDunshee (sp?). The members listed are from here and it would be great to get some more, pawosd? So, if you live anywhere near or far, why not? It's a good time to be had by all. I have my graduation party Sunday but I think I can make it anyways.

Thanks
David

P.S.
whunter, are you coming? I saw that you haven't RSVP'ed? Neither has Ben Dunshee.

How about Ben? He said he does the meetup stuff at the last moment so I bet he'll be there. Will you be bringing your neighbor to this one? I saw you have a guest listed but unsure who it was.

Also, is it still at Logan's? You had mentioned something about switching locations.

Thanks
David

I haven't heard anything from diesel don lately........I don't really know where he is but he even shops at the same auto zone as me! (about a mile away) I also never seem to see any of his "fleet"...despite him being so close by....I probably see a 300D or 240D around here maybe once a week tops.....

Adam, with the trouble I started having today with my car I may not be able to make it. You can read about it here or in tech help. I have no A/C, no guages, no brake lights, and a polethra of other inop. electrical gizmos. I'm hoping (and praying) I can get this sorted out tomorrow so I can come up.

pawosd, I drive 3 hours each way for the meet up. I really like the drive being that MI has a speed limit of 70 and the SDL just rides so nice. Oh yeah, IN just raised ours to 70 as well. I guess it's suppose to take a month to get it all reposted, etc. Anyways, hope to see you guys all there.

Thanks
David

The distance isn't an issue....I'd drive 500 miles I'm going to make an effort to show up, I've never come to a meetup before, I'm not sure if my dad and I would just take one of our diesels, or both....both would be cooler obviously

Hmmm, no time is announced.

I've got guys coming over Saturday morning to help me build my garage. I'm free later in the afternoon. Logans is only 10 minutes away.

We would love to have you over there Mike. It's always the first Saturday of the month at Logans around 2. One of the things on the "agenda" is a possible new time and or location. We are usually there for about an hour so stop by if you have some time!

Don is a youth minister and gets quite busy this time of year. It took a month to get a day that we were both free. Send him a PM, I'm sure he would be glad to meet you.

Waaay too early. I'll be busy building my addition. If not that, on Saturday's, I'm at karate in the morning and in Brighton building airplanes in the afternoon.

Is there a time announced for this? It looks as if my dad and I can come, so we're wondering when exactly it will be, since we have to drive around 2 hours to get there.....

Thanks
