Last call for all those who havent reserved their hotel yet. These are the last 3 days where you can reserve the hotel online at the special group rate, after that you will need to call to get the special rate:

Here is the link once again: Southwest Get Together

Reserve your rooms!!

Hey buddy take me off the list of potential attendees. I appreciate all your work but it looks like a non starter for me.

About time I get on the ball with this. Ready to reserve a room so my question is - is there a special rate discount thingy I need to reserve or do I just reserve a room? There have been several posts on group rates but I don't see where to register for the group rate on the website.

Eganders, are you going? If not, how about your wife? Geogramps, are you going? Anybody else in San Diego going? If so, would people be interested in meeting up and head towards LA as a group to meet the LA crew?

Gentlejr and friend, want to meet up around San Juan Capistrano or someplace near whatever highway heads out to Lake Havasu? How about the rest of you in the LA area?

I'm thinking of leaving San Diego around sixish sevenish and be near the LA area by nineish (are these ish words really words?) if there are other owners to meet up with. If so please chime in so we can make final arrangements

Whatever is decided a detour needs to be planned for Pasadena so we can key a certain Mr Max car. This will serve as a warning to other members who back out.

Hey Brent, I wish you and the rest an enjoyable trip. I didn't back out because I never committed.

My neighbor's wall beat you to the scratch job last Saturday night (#@%%!!&^&^*ck)

I appreciate the dishonorable mention though.

I stand corrected. In that case, hey everybody, we need to detour to Pasadena to key a certain Mr Max car. This will serve as a warning to other members who don't commit!

Razing aside, is the damage serious or did you just scoff your rims?

You're a funny guy Brent.

I was backing out of a windy driveway at night and heard this horrible sound as the forward observers were screaming stop. I thought some brush had scraped across my car but when I looked out the window there was no brush in sight.

To make a long story short, I though I had really crunched the thing. It was a very minor scratch and I was quite relieved.

Scratches aren't good but if they must be present let them be minor.

By now I have three out of the four rims scoffed to some degree. Sad part is that I don't even know how I scoffed two of them.

Alrighty! Two weeks to Havasu time and no one has responded to my post. Let's get on the ball, people! Else I'll make you all hear me sing opera for a month straight. You don't want to hear me sing at all, let alone opera.

I just talked to the Hotel and so far only 2 reservations have been made!!!!

I know for sure that one of them is mine so we are still missing 6-7 people according to list. I will send out a PM to remind all of those on the list again.

From now on you will have to call the Hampton Inn Hotel in Lake Havasu to reserve a room and get our special group rate!!!

Please don't let this die in the last 2 weeks!! I know we can do it! Lets show the east coast that we can get meetings together aswell!!

Here is my threat: If this doesent work out, I will pay Brent gas money+salery to drive through all of Cali to find and key your cars!!!!

Lets do this Gentlemen!!!!

Third Day I had my car I screwed my rims up so much that I had to have them welded and ground. I just wasn't used to a car that had zero tolerance for curbs. My passenger mirror is now focused on the curb and I use a convex wart for traffic. That solved the problem for me. The fender scratch is on the rear quarter panel almost dead on with the seam. It's just a sliver and it's location makes it fairly hard to see when blacked up. Those roller tipped touch up pens are a huge improvement over the old brush only types.

Still have a job so I'm in!

What activities are we doing?

Thinking at least one night we can order out (pizza?) and just sit around with a few beverages and talk about FP, Gary, Rudy, Doc, Franc, Eric, Jim, Deb, Steve, Chris, James, Woody, John, Bob, Tom, Jimmy, Mike, Larry, Brian, Randy, Mark (and anyone else I may have forgotten).
Then after that 10 minutes is up we can talk cars n stuff the rest of the night!

I haven't Jetski'd in ages so I may try to get away to do that a bit.

Bringing RCM inspection and repair stuff so I'll give everyone's RCM a checkup.

BE THERE!

Attending a daytime activity will by tight for those of us driving five or six hours, and especially if we have a late start (my days don't begin until ten in the morning).

We definitely can plan on an evening pizza fest though.

Yeah, thats why I wasent on planning something in the early afternoon. Hotel check-in opens I think at like 3pm, so we there is no point in planning everything early.

Cool, I'll check for resturants later this week.

I'm in but at a hotel two up the street from you.
Saw where the group rate was gone and got in for only $60 a night. That will help pay for my gas!

We will all have to exchange cell numbers.
I'll PM you mine.
