[phoenixr2]

:D

[oldster]

It won't be hard to get the wife interested in this one, she's from Kansas with relatives in Topeka.

[drift_mr2]

I'm down for this one.

[phoenixr2]

Thatll be sweet if we can get a caravan of 2's to cruise there. man I guess I should start actually working on mine :eek:

:D

[Jarod]

I aint goin. Wait, nevermind, I will be 18 then. Hell yeah, if Im not in Mexico, sure I will go! ;)

[IceCold]

I would like to go but I need a date.

[Phoenix]

1057 miles to topeka....no problem

just applied for a bank loan in case the gas prices go up more than it is now.

[MR2Fast]

That drive isn't that bad. I was born in Kansas and know that route well. I won't be able to make it, wish I could it would be cool to have a caravan going.

[Jarod]

Im going to trailer my car out there...

You can't believe how that comment made me bite my tongue..................:)

[Jarod]

How so?

All the trouble you've had which could mean the car needs to be trailored rather than driven.

[Jarod]

Car runs beautifully. (jinxxed myself, i know it)

Its just not a "road trip" car. Think about it, haha, full 3 inch exhaust system, 4k rpm,s 80 MPH on potentially mal-maintained highway with Tein coilovers- top it off with a 12 year old sound system with no bass.

Sound fun? No way. Plus, it chews through gas and I will be on the race track, with potentially "race" tires. And I need to get them there somehow. Heh. :)

I can't wait to go, I hope everything works out in my favor.

[phoenixr2]

I cant wait either. its just going to be a shame when I drive all the way there, only to show all you haters up! :smack:

me when I win :kiss:

:D
I think half the fun is going to be the caravan out there:)

[Jarod]

I was under the impression that the KO exhaust was quiet.

[phoenixr2]

your exhaust is quiet too. just get up to speed, and pull it out of gear, see how quiet it gets:smack: Im interested to see/hear oldsters car at our mini meet. havent seen or heard a tko in person yet.

:D

[oldster]

I have the 6 inch and it wasn't quiet enough, I put inserts in it.

[phoenixr2]

you guys getting ready, alittle less then a year left!

Total Est. Time: 8 hours, 2 minutes Total Est. Distance: 520.75 miles

who wants to cruise out there. I know I am, derek said hes most likely there. anyone want to plan the trip? itll be easy, leave early them morning before, then get there the night before. that way we can go "Slow" on the way there, and make stops for rest/gas/food/etc. wont be too hard. I might be towing my car, in which case I will bring tools and spares, etc. FRS radios would be a good idea, and probably fun to have. Im definately picking up a radar detector soon, lol.

:D

[drift_mr2]

Heck yah I'm down. Good thing my new exhaust came with a silencer :)

[phoenixr2]

IM driving WOT half the way there just to make you girlies go deaf, then you wont have anything to whine about;)


:D

[drift_mr2]

What? I couldn't hear you. Where? Oh, let's fill up with gas. Haha.

[duece]

You can count me in! Damn I better start savin my pennies.:D

[ht mr2]

im down to go i will drive the 5sfte to show all the haters up heheh and dee if my car brakes im riding in your trunk :/

You're not going withouth any exhaust parts at all again are you?

[phoenixr2]

real cars run straight down pipes, but no, Im running a full exhaust system!

:D

[Phoenix]

hell ya, im going with headers and a tko exhaust which i put on my 91 NA yesterday. i think there is about 4 people here in utah that are pretty serious about going. i think we should meet up in colorado and all of us caravan out to kansas next june.

[Johnny P]

I know alot of the people on the board are spread out between Springs and Denver, if we have a caravan would we leave out of Denver or Springs

[Phoenix]

i figured

[phoenixr2]

depending on which way we leave the state we might get the pueblonians to drive to the springs, meet our group here, then drive to denver, join there group then head out up there, or the denver peoples come down here, then we go to ptown, etc. If nobody else wants to plan the trip, I can. what would you guys think about maybe meeting up with some of the states southeast of us? or do you want to keep our CO group together?

:D

[oldster]

Everyone meets in Limon.

[Johnny P]

you thinking we should meet up with UT, NM, AZ? Sounds like fun, Should we wait for Cali, or meet up with them on the way? Im sure well end up finding more 2's on the way. So at this point who all is going to this from this board?

[Phoenix]

i was thinking the same, i know some idaho and oregon guys are going too, we should all meet in colorado and have a huge caravan out to topeka.

[oilfield_trash]

I'm heading to KS from Casper, WY. That puts me through Denver. I figure that'd be a good place to join in the fun. Unless somebody coming from further North or West wants to meet up even sooner and then head to Denver.

[phoenixr2]

let me talk to some of the west coasters and see if they would like to do it, that would be bad ass to have a huge carvan from the whole west south west .

[Phoenix]

ill ask some of the boards in idaho, oregon, and washington to see how many are planning on going. i figure washington and oregon will probably meet in portland, Oregon and then in twin falls, idaho and then on to salt lake city, utah, and then on to denver to meet up with you guys. the northern california and nevada guys could do the same and meet us in salt lake then to denver and have a huge mr2 caravan out to topeka.

[oilfield_trash]

Just guessing the OR, WA, ID guys will be coming down I25. This thing could just snowball into one big group at denver since everyone will pretty much have to go through there anyways.

[Phoenix]

ya, through wyoming, i pmed bill on the big board, he said that in a few weeks he is going to set aside a forum for this event and post new information. the contracts and stuff are in the work!

[Johnny P]

sweet so everybody UT north and west are meet in UT and coming here, and everybody south of UT is meeting here. So were gonna have a 30-40+ carvan leaving Denver, that will be crazy, and so much fun.

[Phoenix]

exactly

[torgan]

ok postin up from sacramento cali

we up here in norcal are plannin a caravan to kansas and it looks like we will be coming right through the middle of colorado. some may be looking for a place to stay, (budgeting) some may just be looking for more 2's to add to our caravan. ill keep you guys in colorado posted. and you can always check on mr2oc in the norcal section

[phoenixr2]

I could probably help with a place to stay. Im assuming most of you (cali people) want to make it a two day trip. if you guys were to come through we could meet up one night, crash at houses/hotels, then meet up with the rest of colorado people.utah.az,etc the next day.

[ht mr2]

i got a room some people can stay ....and lots of couches let me know

[IceCold]

I've got two extra rooms and couches if needed.

[Phoenix]

guys, thats awsome of you opening your homes to travelers. It actually might be needed.

[oldster]

After the last round of parts Mrs. Oldster punted me out. I now live under a bridge and have no intention of sharing my double door Frigidaire box with any of you clowns.

[Phoenix]

double door huh.....dibs on oldsters house whether he likes it or not! ! ! !

[oldster]

If you can dodge the wine bottles then you've earned the right to bunk with me..........

[Phoenix]

ahhh.....im scared of throwing objects.:p

[oilfield_trash]

I'm not scared of flying wine bottles. I work in Montanna and North Dakota. Those people are rowdy. The bars open at 8:30am...with paying customers! You want to see some rough bars, go check out Riverton, WY on any given Saturday night.

[Phoenix]

cool, im checking mapquest right now for tomorrow morning.....8:30am sharp!

Nevermind....7 hours away

[oldster]

Our fall meet is obviously going to the wrong place, although it looks like we might be able to get the fight going........:rolleyes:

[Johnny P]

sweet so everybody UT north and west are meet in UT and coming here, and everybody south of UT is meeting here. So were gonna have a 30-40+ carvan leaving Denver, that will be crazy, and so much fun.

[oldster]

Let me know when you will be coming through Limon.

[oilfield_trash]

I propose we line the cars up newest to oldest. Best looking up front:D .

[Phoenix]

and the line starts behind me :)

[oldster]

That would be to subjective, the only fair way is to do it by age with the elders being in front....:)

[oilfield_trash]

Then I guess I'll be one of the last to arrive in Topeka...especially given the 18yr minimum age limit...there definitely won't be many behind me.:D

[Phoenix]

senior citizens have all the fun :D

[oldster]

Only because we are under severe time constraints......:)

(Raises hand) I will.

[oilfield_trash]

Jarod, can you beat 23?...24 by Topeka time

[Phoenix]

i think im with oldster on the age thing, i will be 25 by topeka and probably really close to the front of the line :D

[Johnny P]

Its mostly MKII's and MKIII's going right? I think we should go in the order they were brought to the states, ie 85 first and 05 last. Any other first gens going?

[jrodri789]

I like that idea. oldest to newest (MR2s that is). I'll be like a timeline of one of the coolest cars!

[torgan]

thanx guys for the hospitality, when we know more about our venture to the great state of kansas i will let you guys know more about our plans. as for the comment about 30-40 ppl leaving the denver area....... um it might be a little more than that have know of 5 cars that will be making the trip already and we dont even know when it is for sure. (thats only ppl from east bay area and sacramento) hopefully there will be a huge showing of mr2 lovers through out the country. a few weeks ago we had a HUGE mr2 meet on treasure island in the bay area. had over 70 2's show up. check out the nor-cal forum at www.mr2oc.com for pics and more info if you dont believe me. this will be a great caravan and a pefect weekend. ill keep in touch with you guys as time goes on. torgancelica@yahoo.com (yeah i own a celica and a 2)
