A few friends and I are organizing a BBQ to have at Valley Forge Park in Valley Forge, PA. We usually have a GREAT turn out of cars at these events, and I would like to invite all of you to attend. It's just a large group of car enthusiasts getting together to get to know one another and discussing what we all have a passion for...cars! Don't worry, this isn't your typical Honda ricer fest...! Verbal and/or physical violence will not be tolerated.

Where: Valley Forge Park
Link: http://www.nps.gov/vafo/GENINFO/DEFAULT.HTM
When: Saturday, July 9th
Time: 1pm - dark

So, who's all interested in attending? Anyone have a grill?

P.S. Everyone needs to bring AT LEAST one item of food to the meet. So, when you post, please write down the item of food you will be bringing.

Here's the list we have going so far...

1.) AlyssaC - 01 SLK320 - pack of dogs and rolls
2.) SwapedCelica - 3SGTE swapped Celica - soda
3.) MikeS93 - 93 Supra TT - cookies & watermelon
4.) rizinphoenix - 97 Supra TT BPU - (possibly...if so, what are you bringing for food?)
5.) 97JZA80 - 97 Supra TT - Plates and cups
6.) T78Supra - 94 Supra TT - (food?)
7.) Nightmarez (riding with T78) - Burgers and dogs
8.) Moosevision - 87 Supra - (food?)
9.) AznSupraTT - 95 Supra TT - (food?)

If you're going to attend, please copy and paste the list above and add your name, your car, and the food you will be bringing, the next person, same thing, but copy their list...I figure you're all intelligent people, you can figure it out! I will be on here and there to update and answer any questions any of you might have. Thanks!

Ohhh man............. and there's going to be cookies & watermelon.


How could anyone miss out on that ? LOL

Haha, a few of us are talking about driving to TunerFest at the New Jersey Shore after the BBQ. That car show doesn't end until 11pm, so, we're good. But they're calling for isolated thunderstorms for Saturday...so we might have to postpone the BBQ. :(

That's one of the MAIN reasons I moved to California. When Summer hits, it hits big time. No rain for months.

Winter is a different story..... but then again it doesn't snow either so I can't complain too much :)

Hope you can quickly get together a plan B

Have fun!

Cheers,
TJ

I already made the rain date for Sunday, July 24th if it rains on Saturday. Everyone said that's okay with them. Plus. more said if I make it that date, they'll come out for sure. So, we might have close to 40 some people there. WIth everyone bringing an item of food! Haha. SL600...do u need a roomate?! I have always wanted to live in Cali, just for the weather and relaxed atmosphere. Well, San Diego is where I'd like to live.

Any plans to repeat such a BBQ ? I live in West Chester, pretty close to Valley Forge.

Oh, yes, I am planning a charity event next time. I am not going to hold it until Spring though. I need to contact some companies to donate. All of the proceeds are going to go to Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. But I will post updates on that at another time. It's going to be one big surprise! And I am hoping an amazing turn out.

But I am contemplating on holding another meet...maybe not a BBQ this time, but a meet at Valley Forge before Fall closes in. I will keep you updated. Here are pictures from this BBQ. http://community.webshots.com/user/chidoks Just click on Supra meet.

Thats a pretty good turnout. My favorite car would have to be the silver rx7 with the c/f hood. My cousin is at Penn State, is that anywhere near Valley Forge? My other cousin is in Scranton, is that close?

blackbenz, Penn State what? Penn State Main? Penn State Abington? Penn State Berks? Abington is kind of close, but not really. Valley Forge is right outside of Philadelphia and King of Prussia. Scranton isn't close either.

Yeah, if it's main, that's REAL far away!

Then I guess I probably wont make it to the next meet.

You could make a trip out of it?! Stay in Philadelphia! There's lots to do there.

I got some pics at a euro meet 2 days ago but I cant post them because they are too large. I dont know how to resize them either so if anyone can give me their e-mail I'll send them the pics and maybe you can resize them for me and post them.

Your PC may not be set up like mine, but when I want to shrink a pic, the easiest way for me is to e-mail it to myself. I'm always asked if I want the pic downsized and I answer yup. Give it a try. It won't hurt anything, even if it doesn't work.

Wow, that's a neat pic! Nice Benz too.

I usually use MSPaint to resize my pictures. There's a little icon on the bottom right screen to resize I believe. I just usually use stretch/skew. Or, you can upload the photos on www.tinypic.com and post them here. I always use tinypic, and they're very reliable.
