Birthday cruise for Darren (DarrenX33) on May 1st

[Postsedan]

Chicago members,

As we all know Darren has been working hard to finish his Rally Green Z by May 1st. Since it seems it will not quite be ready. I suggest we treat Darren to a day of rest on his Birthday.... May 1st with a Sunday Cruise!

I will be happily lending one of my Chevelles to Darren to cruise (Darren is reponsable for the $$$Gas) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Can`t have the Birthday boy be without a bowtie or riding shot-gun on his special day.

I suggest we all meet at Darrens house at 10:00am on Sunday morning. We will take a scenic cruise to Sycamore, IL. and then visit the Volo Museum and back to Darrens to view his Rally Green Z-28.

Gags I expect you to definetly be at Darrens house with a full tank of gas ready to go....No I don`t want to hear anything else.

All attending Darrens Birthday cruise can RSVP me at [email protected]

Looking forward to a Great day. Gags you can bring Darren a Birthday cake with a Rally Green Z...make sure it is not a Deuce on the cake.

Mark (396L35) if you make the cruise don`t worry we`ll stop along the way and feed you some Chicago Pizza.

Dan.

[Belair62]

If I leave now I can get there by May 1st !

[Mr70]

Thanks for the warning..

[ssl78]

Hey Dan, how about this we meet at my house at 11 and do lunch after lunch we head to darrens to check out the car. We then could head west either turning on 47 to go to Volo or just keep heading west. Darren your choice either Dans Chevelle or the orange Camaro.

[Postsedan]

John,
Sounds great...jeez I wonder what Darren will pick? Don`t worry B-day Boy I know your heart is with the Camaro. It will be a great day.

Dan.

[DarrenX33]

I'm seriously choked up. This is way too cool. That cruise plan sounds like a great idea. But we can always change up to accomodate those who rarely go west of Mannheim Road.

Dan/John you guys are the coolest. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif Very hard choice to make there. Let's see if I can pull of the impossible and get my car running by then. However, I wouldn't put any $ on it. I was looking at the motor today and saw a couple of dull spots. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

[Salvatore]

Hey Darren, Looks like everybody loves ya! Wish I could attend. Have someone take a video and I will buy a copy. Sounds like a great day planned. Have Bob do the cooking! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif Sam

[ssl78]

If anybody else is interested in cruising this Sunday May 1 give me a email. The only invites is by this thread so let us know.if you want to go. The schedule will be meet by my house around 11 have lunch here head west to Darrens house take a look at how hes coming along with his car then take North ave to 47 head north maybe having another stop to meet up with another group of guys from the site and see what happens from there.

[Stefano]

Sounds good, count me in.

[ssl78]

Steve make sure you tell Fred and the other guys

[MosportGreen66]

So Jealous! Have a Happy B-day Darren!
I second Sam's request. Take loads of pictures and videos for those candid burn outs!

[Xplantdad]

Hey guys...and Darren, too! I'll be there in spirit! It's going to be hard enough to convince the "other half" to let me go to SCR8... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Happy B-Day Darren! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/xplantdad/occasion13.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/xplantdad/occasion16.gif http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/xplantdad/cake.gif

[DarrenX33]

[mrtimstik]

Ya know this sounds like a really cool thing to do for your friend and I would like to participate if I could. I am in Carol Stream and it sounds like the route goes right past me here. I know nobody knows me but I have been on stevesnovasite for a while and found this from there. You can check out my car and pics of me being alittle extreme on the cardomain site in my profile page. The pics of me are from before I became married and domesticated. Please consider my request to join the cruise as I honestly am a normal person that just so happens to own a seriously badass Nova. Thanks Tom

[Belair62]

If you are normal....you wouldn't fit in !!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[mrtimstik]

OK "normal" does come across a little strong by the typed word. Maybe optimisticly hopeless car freak with a pass on the shoulder attitude sporting 420 ponies and a gas credit card with a $10,000 line of credit????????? and a relative who's a judge.

[Belair62]

OK now you're talkin !!! Especially the judge part !!!

[ssl78]

Hi Mike, Hi usualy go to visit my parents in Hillsboro on A1A every year sounds like your pretty close to them. When ever I go I usuallt try and get to crabby Jacks they have some cool cars and good food. Next time Im there I look out for you.

[Postsedan]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Geez Judy Collins. One obscure thing that wasn't in there is that my favorite director Wes Anderson shares the same birthday and age with me.

"Donny" on this site is looking for a '70. This one looks to be very nice. Certainly a nice color and a hard one to come by at that.

Happy birthday Darren! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Does Nathan live in Algonquin? I thought I saw this car late last year on the west side of Algonquin smoking the tires away from a 4-way stop.

I stand corrected,

Our gracious host John (ssL78) purchased all the food from Strat for "Darrens Cruise" and Strat brought T-shirts for all.

I figured I would let the Nova speak for me that day and I believe it was plenty chatty. I was a little nervous meeting everybody because I did come in late in the game but will say I will never forget the fantastic feeling I had pretty much the whole day. The BBQ, the cruising with the crowd, the destination, and the ride back with the black Bad*ss Corvette. That day was tops on my list of fun times with the car so far.

[Alan X77 Hugger]

Wow after seeing all these great cars, I feel like a small fish in a big pond! Sounds like you guys had a great time, I wish I could have been there. Happy belated Bday D! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif I was in the U.P. of Michigan and it was Snowing up there. Not Fun.
