Losing a washer or two won't keep you from being able to drive/shift. Trust me. (I've been driving with a missing washer for upwards of 9 mos)

Alright, well that's more comforting... so anyway... interest? If even one person tells me its something they'd be interested to see or help with, I'll do it at the meet. Otherwise, I don't want to end up doing it relatively alone while everyone else is doing other stuff, 'cuz then I'm gonna be missing out on that other stuff for no reason.

Neil I would actually like to see how it is done before I go and order one myself. I also think it would be a good idea to show the dealership how dedicated we our to our cars and how we are there to help one another out through everything we do. It would just reflect our club and I think it would be kinda neet to be able to see the process before I do it!

Cool deal - that's my one person. I'll do it at the meet. Now if only it came to my door - I'm getting anxious... even though Rob just said it would ship today...

Well, is a newbie invited? I just picked up my EVO a week ago and already have 1100 miles on it, so obviously I don't mind driving. I'm all the way up in Maine, so yes I feel lonely up here, but that I'm use to. I'll be visiting a friend from focaljet on the 4th in Nahsua, NH, so if it's ok to bring a friend, I'd be more than happy to meet some of the folks from here. Mind you my last car was an SVT Focus, so I imagine the get togethers will be quite different.

You and your friends are more than welcome to attend!

I just got off the phone with this ladie Michelle that runs all of the tourist stuff in the Springfield and surrounding areas and she said that she is going to call all of the local hotels and attractions and tell them that we have a huge charity benefit-like car show/meet on the 5th, and to give a us a discounted rate.

I CANT SAY IT ENOUGH, BE SURE TO BRING AT LEAST ONE NONPARISHABLE FOOD ITEM FOR EACH PERSON ATTENDING!!! THESE WILL BE DONATED TO LOCAL MISSIONS AND CHARITIES.

speaking of hotels any word on some sort of booking for that hotel that is by the dealership? I can't recall a list of people that will be staying for the trip to six flags but I think all the people attending the six flags trip the next day should all stay at the same hotel, my bad if they already established a list but I just can't remember....Also what time is the meet actually starting off, I don't want to get there to early or too late, and does anyone have any idea how long it might take to drive from the north shore, :amesbury:

Hello Nick-
I wanted to follow-up on my call to you last night.

I wasn't sure if you would be interested in rooms in the Sturbridge area.

Our Website is www.sturbridgehosthotel.com.

I did try to call you today, but your phone wasn't taking incoming calls.

Hope to hear from you.

Good morning, I am emailing you from the Holiday Inn in Springfield Mass. The Springfield CVB sent a notice out that you need rooms on July 4-7, 2003. I do have some availability if you are interested. Please call or email me back as soon as possible so the rooms don't get taken by another group.



Thank you

Susan Daley, Sales Manager

Holiday Inn of Springfield
