ILLINIOIS Club (in thec Chicago Area)

[Dre]

anyone that can make the meeting is welcome... the more the better...

 

[mynameisaric]

if you can't make it with your explorer, you can still drive down in whatever you normally drive. (but bring some pictures, so i can pick your brains about SAS questions )

So im guessing we all agree on 11:15 am then?

 

[NapalmMan67]

Been away awhile, and can't make today.

I'll ask now... When's the next GTG? How about the Cliffs and wheel?

 

[Dre]

It could all be arranged...

too bad you can't make this one.

 

[mynameisaric]

[mynameisaric]

i'm just going to take 55 to 294 to 94. see you guys there around 11.

 

[Dre]

and? what happened?

I was there with my family in my wife's Outback but only saw two trucks.

Couldn't bring my rig since it broke on me at the last moment. Last week it was a short in the lights circuit which I fixed... A few days ago I noticed gas smell - and yesterday I found a pool of gas under my truck - something on top of tank leaks - might be a rusted line. Need to drop the tank - what a bummer!

well - with my schedule and planned SAS I don't think I will wheel this year.

 

[ActionJackson]

sorry guys. I made it as far as barrington and my tentioner pully decided to freeze up causing my serp belt to depart. a lot of waiting, got it loaded up on my buddies trailer, towed back to my shop and made the repairs.
so once again sorry

 

[JMan689]

What a surprise.. Fords breaking down...

 

[mynameisaric]

i made it. met one explorer owner, but i got to see the volo car museum, which was actually alot cooler then i thought it would be. I figured it would just be a big car show, and it kind of is, but i like the different exhibits. Thought they did a really good job with the military exhibit. The museum was good enough that my girlfriend enjoyed it, and she doesn't enjoy automobile stuff much.
