Im a Veh tech at the strats on my QL4's and I was parked in the same parking lot as you today. Gotta love the small world. Mine is the other GA in that parking lot, though it looks much different the pics I have up. No bra or neons anymore

[redGT]

perfect, cant wait! does it sound like there will be a fairly good turn out?

[Silver 4 door]

I booked it off work. Time to study a map of the city...lol

[Ails05]

perfect, cant wait! does it sound like there will be a fairly good turn out?

yes it does sound like quite a few edmonton guys are gonna show. including our friends from sask. and yellow knife

[Ails05]

I booked it off work. Time to study a map of the city...lol

if you guys dont know around the city. we can always meet up somewhere and go as a group. that could be pretty fun to see all those GA's. i know just about everywhere in the city and how to get there. well cept for the park but i'm scouting the spot out as we speak:lol:. prolly this weekend:D

[Silver 4 door]

hey that would be sweet! if we all meet somewhere and drive to the park in a group.

I dont know Edm at all really.

[Ails05]

hey that would be sweet! if we all meet somewhere and drive to the park in a group.

I dont know Edm at all really.

ok well why dont we all meet in sherwood park(north east end)? its on the outskirts so it should be easy for you and Will to reach. then we can all head to the park together. just gonna see for now and if everyone can do that. we'll pick a time and place later on but 6pm on the 6th for sure

[Silver 4 door]

sounds good to me.

[williamGT]

Sounds like we will have abit of people:) It would be nice to see us drive in a group.....I post this in GAGT.com as well.

[redGT]

sounds perfect

[williamGT]

Sounds like we will have abit of people:) It would be nice to see us drive in a group.....I post this in GAGT.com as well.....
And if there is members here from Aleromod.com let them know....their N-Bodies aswell.

[Ails05]

yes. sounds good. ok well i will go pick a spot being the inside guy and all. and we'll meet around 6ish. ill post later on this weekend about where a good location. like a tim hortons or something like that. should be pretty easy to find since sherwood park isn't that big

[Ails05]

ok i think i found a fiarly decent spot. not to far off from the highway. the little shopping center its at is called The Baseline Village. just off baseline road in sherwood park. when i drove around the biggest parking lot i saw there was a save on foods. the other stores in the area are block buster, A BMO Bank, Rona, and a Gas bar. and thats the name of it is "Gas Bar":roll2:. anyways thats just how know were in the right location. a tim hortons is just around the corner so coffee is avail when were waiting for the others. if your heading east on baseline then the village is on your left. and vice versa.

does that sound like a good place? if its not i can pick another spot thats better for everyone. as for the waiting. i think one of us could make up a list of everyone that says they can make it. so when we got everyone there we can head out as a group so noone gets left behind. :D

[Silver 4 door]

that works good for me. Should be easy to find.

[redGT]

That sounds good to me, i work just up the road so i know exactly where it is. As long as i have my car back by then, count me in. Did you want to meet there for 6 or meet at the park by 6?

[Ails05]

That sounds good to me, i work just up the road so i know exactly where it is. As long as i have my car back by then, count me in. Did you want to meet there for 6 or meet at the park by 6?

well my plan was to meet at the parking lot in sherwood by 6 or maybe a little earlier so we can all meet to the park by 6. like 5 ish. either or, were gonna wait for everyone to show then go as a group

[Silver 4 door]

I'll be there around 5. I'm leaving Saskatoon at 10 or 11

[Ails05]

yes ill be early as well. we'll get a coffee well waiting for the others heh. anywho. im off to wainwright for an excersise:lame: and wont be back online till bout 23 of next month. i may pop in if im lucky and someone has the net. but till then, ill be back :roll2:

[williamGT]

Sounds good to me, so only 9 people showing up there? My goal is 15-20 would be nice, If there people a member in aleromod.com let them know.

[Silver 4 door]

I think Mike for Saskatoon might be coming, but not sure.

[cranch]
