Do we have a VA Third Gen club? If so, how many are interested in having one or having a meet or something. My wife came up with the idea of all of us third gen guys cruising the parkway or doing something like the Hot Rod Power Tour except going through only VA. Let me know what you guys think and we'll see if we can get the ball rolling. No cost, or a limited cost? Please share your ideas and if I get enough input, we can do something

they doesnt seem to be any organized clubs in the NOVA area, i dont about the rest of the state. but if i know i would be interested in joining, even if i am going to be out of state for pretty much the rest of the year lol

dwright69

I wouldn't mind finding other thirdgen guys in the northern va area to cruise with or just find a "grillin" spot and and chill!

i owuld lov to join a camaro club. theres a few of us around the noke area, and on the weekends its a big deal to crusie up and down a huge main road called willison(sp). but that would be a very good area to hold a meet or, lots of ppl, far amount of camaros and other cars to talk bout. and then for those who like to prove ur car on the street theres those kinda meets to.

WHAT ABOUT FORMER THIRD GENERS WHO NOW HAVE FOURTH GENS. There were NO third or fourth gens at a show this week. There were NO firebird or trans ams. One second gereration rs. As you might expect, mustangs out the @ss.

I think a VA tird gen club would be cool...I am in the Roanoke area and should be getting my vert back on he road in a couple of weeks...Just for sh*ts and giggles...Does anyone in the roanoke area have a 88-92 tbi or tpi parts car laying around...I need the bracket that holds the a/c and smog pump and can't find one anywhere???

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

and 92vertz28, lol man good look tryn to find a parts car here. ive been looking, th local pick and pulls have a bunch of v6 bs, that might work. and what kinda of 3rd gen u drive?

92vertz28

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

Ive seen a convertable Camaro once or twice, on route 1 by my house in Dumfries. It was red I think, had the top down.

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

ya apperently a lot of camaros are round roanoke, bout what 30-70 mles away, just not IN roanoke, where im at...everyone should serioulsy crusie ***** one weekend. if everyone did we would domanate the road and get all the attention

Timothayyy

iTrader: (2)

My car should be done by next week, tomorrow my friend is coming to put the supercharger on the motor, then thursday my transmission comes in and we put everything back in the car. So maybe we should get some Halloween cruise or something near the end of the month.

3rd Gen Club sounds great, I'm In.

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

Hey guys! I'm near Smith Mountain Lake I am in a small fbody club out of Lynchburg, but getting something in Roanoke would be sweet since I'm halfway between either city

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

roanoke is bigger, and have more camaros, weither they r 4th gen or 3rd, lol and the ossically 2nd gen that crusies every sat. but ya sure come, and bring your club. the more the merrier

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

Come where? Is there a date/time/spot set?

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

to roanoke, on willison ave for crusie nights, usally every saturday 10p to 12a. at 12a the street races start near by. and i dont think we have a date yet. sometime around t day i think. not sure yet.
but be warned the cops arent happy, they look for any, and i mean any reason to harass(sp) ppl. such as a bunch of cars together talking, they stop and say your lothing and to move on. and theres talk bout if you drive down ***** more then 4 times in an hour your looking for a race...? any body now bout that?

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

I wouldnt mind going down there. Do you hang with a group of guys?

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

i myself, no not really. its a bunch of tuner punks. not to many nice ppl. but i have found some but no i dont really have a group of ppl, well ones that like cars anywaz. but if us 3rd gen guys do get a date no one could miss us.

92vertz28

The road is actually called Wiliamson Rd. And there is no truth to the looking for a race with more than 4 trips in one hour. The police can't ASSUME anything just because you are driving. And as a note, Williamson Rd has been demolished by the asphalt company doing the repaving there...It is horribly rough and there are only two lanes...Not the usual 4. Hopefully they get the paving finished soon, but it is hard to tell.

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

wow im bad with spelling of roads lol.i just now its as *****. and thanks for the update, i havent been down there in a while. and like i said bout the cops, just something i heard that they are trying to pass. so does any one have a date that they want to meet here? after paving? the caminator should be home round t day he said so mayb round then?

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

I'm up for whenever...I just have to get my car out of storage and gas her up. And yeah I forgot about Williamson Rd being all tore up. I don't know if I'd be up for cruising up/down that shitty rd, but I'd park and BS with you guys.

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

it was only the outer lanes that where bad but i dont mind talkn or cruseing which ever id just like to see a bunch of 3rd gens together

Z28baynard

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

edit: I took out a cam lobe. My car is down until spring.

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

that sucks, check the whole engine. and good luck with it

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

Well, the car has been together for like 3 years so it was about time for it to pitch a fit and make me throw a bunch of money at it lol

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)

Alright guys, I have return to this post. Been transitioning back from Iraq and preparing to leave the military on the 21st of December. Let me reply to some of these posts while I got a few minutes.

I look to be setting a date and time in the near future. I'm looking for the first weekend in March if thats alright with you guys.

I want this to be an F-Body club. I love Firebirds as much as Camaros. I would like to leave the 1st gens out of this due to the fact that not all of us have trust funds, or rich grandparents that can buy us just the rusted shell of one. I want to meet hard working, blue collar folks.

Timothayyyy, what kind of help are you looking for? Mechanical help? Or just kidding for some money? I'm willing to help out anyone that is just as willing to help me.

92vertz28, Your best bet for that bracket is the junkyard. I might have one, or can obtain you one, but you need to reply to me quickly so I can get in touch with my contact in Nashville before I leave Ft. Campbell on the 21 of December. Also, I hope you are well aware of what you are holding onto. 92 Z28 convertibles are pretty rare. Only 1,254 of them made.


ricka11, thats a kinda long haul from Northern VA just to cruise around.


Justin 89 Formy, get in contact with me at thecaminator@yahoo.com to make arrangements for a F-Body meet. I'd like to meet up with you and discuss the possibly of making the Club a reality.

Not everybody drives Williamson Rd. I'm thinking during the day so people can bring families out and have a good time. I'm going to call a few people, try to scope out a spot for us to be seen and heard. I'm calling it right now guys and gals, Western VA F-Body Association. Welcome. Please e-mail me at thecaminator@yahoo.com so we can get our first meet together. I don't care what city or town you come from, please e-mail me. Alright, I will sit back and wait for my replies.

Ive got my car running now and have been driving it around. Has a few issues going on with it, and I need to check the valve lift. If you wanted to help me out, id be more then willing to help you out on your ride. Im just trying to get my ride all ready for when the strips open back up.

A club would be great, as would doing a cruise. Im 100% interested.

Justin89Formy

iTrader: (26)

yup I'm in. Just need to get my car runnin again.

92vertz28

I'm in as well....Just got the Vert buttoned up....The best thing to do would probably be to meet at the MDA Car Show in March....That way we could all get together at the same time and talk it all out....

thecaminator

Since we are in need of a localized location, the Bedford Wal-Mart sounds like a great meeting spot. From there we can decide wether Roanoke or Lynchburg is the better choice for the evening. I'm looking at Jan. 17 at 4PM at the Bedford Wal-Mart. Hit me back so we can make some more concrete plans. How does that sound?

1brd2brd3brd4

contact me if you are interested in a car club. I have 15 or 20 names and numbers of F-body owners. We got together a few times this past summer for the Cruze in in Bedford and Lynchburg.The more the merrier. We had an awsome convoy coming down 460 one Saturday out of Lynchburg

DrivinVA305

iTrader: (1)

I've been out of it for a while, is this really gonna happen? Are 4th gens welcome? If the answers are yes, I'm in. Are we meeting at the Bonsack Wal-Mart or Williamson? I know a manager at the Bonsack Wal-Mart who has an Iron Duke and an LS1, I know he'd be down.

DARKmj16

iTrader: (6)
