Planning this WAY earlier than usual. But here we go;

This year's meet is being held is the same location as last year. This years meet is a 5th annual, yes its been 5 years already! This is the second time in Milwaukee. Those who attended last year, will know exactly why this year's meet is "Doritos Edt". :th_SmlyROFL:

Last year's meet went extremely well, and very smooth. I think its obvious that a cruise over the interstate bridge down through downtown Milwaukee is a must. Perhaps we all meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for wings again?

Also, we all remember how ungodly hot/humid it was last year. I will plan to bring a case of water with for myself and others to enjoy. Thank you to all that brought extra water last year....it was certainly well appreciated!

I'll bring a Tech2, but I only have the "old" software, so it won't talk to '03 or newer models.

We'll be there.

I'll bring the small grill, ez-up tent, some coolers, my code scanner OBD II (just in case)... We'll probably also bring at least two cars.

Oh and if anyone breaks, my garage is open. LOL

I may not make this one now that me and my Saab are housed 12 hours away. It's a damn shame. Was really looking forward to this.

Me and Joe talked last night about locations. I know I mentioned about getting a spot on the beach, towards the south end of the park. But he made a good point to just keep the location the same, simple to get to, familiar. So if you attended last year, and you probably remember there was construction going on in that area on the main road, id assume that its all done by now (but who knows, its wisconsin after all) but please keep close attention to the Facebook event page that I created a few months ago, i will try to keep that updated periodically during the first hour of the meet to help anyone try to find us that are having trouble. I will try to keep this updated also for those who arent on the Facebook event page. Really hoping to catch most of you on my ride down TO the meet!

If I go I'll be bringing a red DIC, NG900 passenger side fog light and a NG900 outside temp sensor to sell. I need a third brake light cover, battery cover, passenger side brake light, fog lights and headlight switch with fog light button for my 9-3 SS, if any of you have one let me know!

Dude, I may have to put dibs on that red DIC... LOL

We're only 15 Days away!!!



I wanted to make sure to post up the location of the meet. Grant Park is a HUGE PLACE (as some of us learned last year)... The pin is above the parking lot that we will be in. This is the same parking lot as last year. If anyone gets lost give me a ring at (262) 510-6596 and I'll attempt to guide you in as much as I can, or send a rescue crew if necessary. :)

I'll be bringing the vert.

I'll have the Tech2 if anybody needs diagnostics or programming, but be aware that I only have old software and do not have a candi adapter, so it won't talk to anything '03 or newer.

This looks like it's gonna be a crazy-busy week, so if anybody needs parts (i.e. 9000 and c900 parts), please let me know sooner than later.

HEY GUYS AND GALS! Just a few more days untill the meet, I just wanted to cover a few things for people that are in the northern WI area.

Anyone that would like my number to give me a call or text for anything just inbox me and ill provide it for you. See you all Saturday!!!
