Anyone on the boards in the city area? Know of any clubs?

I haven't found any here and the Island guys don't play too nice with some of us city dweelers.

I was thinking of starting one, but wanted to get an idea of how many serious owners are in the city. I see quite a few around, but don't know if the owners are serious about f-bodies or just buy them to have a "cool car".

 

Hey nice T/A

I hear ya about not finding many city dwellers,and I have spent quite a bit of time out on LI for shows and whatnot - not bad people they just dont like leaving the island

Anyway keep me in mind if ya hear of any shows or meets in our area,I'd love to meet up sometime.

You can email me at TTA850@aol.com

And some pics of my GTA here(sorry no pics of my TTA's)

I was thinking of trying to start something like a club, but it will be a while before I do.

I usually hit Flowerfield (Oct 26) and Belmont Racetrack (Nov 1 & 2) which is run by Long Island Cars.

I didn't mean to imply anything really bad about the LIers, except they're exclusive in their car clubs - Queens isn't part of LI to them.

Some local events (to me, in Queens anyway) are: Greenpoint Avenue - Solomax gas station, Saturdays 6-9pm; Metropolitan Avenue about 3 blocks east of Woodhaven Tuesday 6-9pm in the McDonals lot and McDonalds in Maspeth Thursday nights (LIE Maurice Ave exit). Because of work I'm only at the Metropolitan Ave one regularly.

In Brooklyn I know there's one somewhere on 86th Street, but I forget exactly where.

 

Yea I used to always be at Greenpoint... & Hunts Point, but sometimes I stop by Metro, not in a while tho.

 

I live in Staten Island and iam always looking to hang out with ppl that have 3rd gen cars but dont know of any places feel free to e-mail me TPI350z@aol.com or im me on aim no1camaroz28 iam always on pretty much thanks..

 

This may be a little premature, but its easier to get the word out than to email people to reply to the thread in private.

I'm trying to get this organization started so there's not much yet. I'm setting up the online resources now, and plan to have meetings starting in the spring.

I've looked around and have seen nothing else, and the NYC lists at f-body.org seem dead.

Hopefully I can get something started and give all us NYC owners something to look forward to.

BTW, they probably they go dormant for the winter, but there are a few gatherings of muscle on SI or near the bridge in Brooklyn.

From Special Interest:

October 31, Brooklyn. Car Show, Every Friday Night, K-Mart Parking Lot, Bay Parkway And Shore Parkway

November 3, Staten Island. RCMC Classic Car Cruise Night, Every Monday, Clarke Avenue Plaza, Corner Of Clarke/Amboy, 6PM Till Whenever, All Makes And Models Welcome, Free Entry, Sponsored By Rochmond County Mustang And Ford Club

 

Sounds good, we should get more people from NYC involved...

 

well i'm from caldwlel, nj which isn't too far from teh city at all (northeastern jersey) and i'm def interested in meetin up with some of hte city folk

 

That sounds cool. I'm on vacation this week so if anyone wants to meet...

I don't know what kind of shows are still active in the area, especially now that the weather's gone cold.

 

well i'm up at school right now (penn state) adn won't be home until thanksgiving break so i'll have to be missing out on these meets. but i mean i def want to be involved in something if i'm going to be home since going to nyc is actually closer than going down to our TR meets

Just wanted to let you all know, I've set up a temporary forum at

http://fbody.goumba.net/forums/

The main site will still be

http://www.nyc-fbody.org

I will relocate the forums there by mid January when I fix everything else. Being temporary, when you register for the forums just fill out the bare minimum that it will let you.

 

...awesome, finally an NYC based F Body crew.... Looks promising.

 

Count me in. Im in Yonkers minutes away from the city. YES finally a club. I know that once is REALLY going more ppl will join the move.

 

where you at in YO? im in mount vernon I hang out in YO everynight?

 

south broadway near radford street.

 

Its not that we don't want to leave LI but its sooo nice here....lol
I am a definite to any event/meeting held in NY

 

I am from Great Neck, LI. Just looking to get together & show off my TTA.

 

Im from queens, lets get this show on the road goddamnit, i dont care, LI, queens, whatever, we should meet in long beach, can have some fun straight roads out there....

 

I'm from Long Island. It's not that we don't like the city but traveling can be a pain in the ***. The city is known for tons of traffic and it's also seen as just an overall "bad place to be". People think that the split second they step into the city, some gang is waiting there to rob them. I've been to the city a few times and it didn't seem bad at all. People mostly kept to themselves. I don't think people have anything against the city other than the thought that there's crime in every square inch of it (and we all know that's not true). It's rediculously hard to get into the city though so don't think we have anything against you.

 

Storms of War, that's not what I meant. I talked to a few Island car club members at shows and got the basic feeling they only wanted Nassau and Suffolk owners. It just seemed the clubs were a little exclusive and so I want to get something going for F-Body owners in NYC.

 

Sorry, i thought you meant we were attitudy towards you. That's still a load of crap that they won't let you into their clubs though. It shouldn't matter where you're from as long as you're into the same stuff and able to attend gatherings and what not. Good luck with the club though.

 

Well when i'm not at college I live in Glen Cove on long island. And I do get off the island, I just refuse to drive in the city

 

i have a firebird formula 350 and live in staten island. A meeting of a few people who actually know what kind of cars there driving would be nice. im sick of talking to people driving thirdgens who might as wel be driving civics, there seems to be alot of that in nyc, so itd be relieving to meet people who car about there rides.
A proud thirgen formula 350 owner...

 

Hey

I'm in Queens also. I have an 88 Iroc 350. Would be interested in the club. Keep me in mind.

 

Well, how about some ideas for meeting places and times? We don't need a website to get those going. You can either reply here, or email me your suggestions.

 

hmmm... I see a lot of "Let's get it going", but no one going further than that. Meeting times and places? Anyone? I'm looking to start in April.

I wrote a quick message board type thing at nyc-fbody.org, but no idea if it really works besides myself posting. So if you can't post there, just submit your suggestion here.

 

Hey guys. I m up for an f body club or just meeting up places. Goumba T I have seen your car at the MacDonalds on Metro Cruise ins this past fall. I had my third gen there too. It is a grey 85 Z 28 with a turbo hood. You would remeber it because i The Club holding the hood up because my shocks went.

 

sup im new to the forum, im from queens , ozone park, anyeone around that area?, club sounds cool, maybe we can do a lil crusing and scare these little hondas that make sound annoying . hit me up on aim

SN: canito0

i got a 90' red firebird, t-top, let me know if u happen to see me .

 

you got ya another Staten islander here, and youre right about alot of people owning third gens cause there cool but i obviously believing in that fact too am very much into my formula 350 do all the work myself and have fixed more crap on that car and devoted many waking hours on working out wierd quirks than i can remember. so basically id be very interested in a meeting.

 

Stank Island here!!!!

grnd - where are you on S.I.? I'm huguenot. Know any good reupholsterers? I just got the Hawks covers for fourth gen seats and I need them installed. I tried on myslef and it doesn't look as good as it should.

 

im in newdorp...as for reapolstry i have no idea i know there a small shop over by baystreet and hylan though ive never seen their work though..

 

lets not let this thread die..im bored as heck and would be interested in a gathering this saturday or sunday(3/24) i know its short notice but hey.. on staten island maybe on clarke and amboy were the cars meet on monday nights.how does that sound anyone out there?

 

Bad weekend for me. My seats are in the process of being reupholstered and it's my ***-daughter's christening. Soon, dude. Soon.

 

i hear ya (good luck with everything), is there anyone else out there interested?

 

well i'll tell ya this: i set up the site, it may not be much right now, but its apparent over there that no one's interested. i haven't gotten any idea for where and when to meet, etc.

 

hey Goumba, dont say that, alot of people talk out of the wrong end of their body but there are plenty people being genuine but are just not sure where a central meeting point could be, im in bensonhurst brooklyn, 5 minutes away from that k-mart car meetins, (never attended though). If you would like i can help you just let me know what you want me to do, my 1991 firebird 3.1 v6 t-tops, will be on the road around the nd of april, just waiting on tax check to get it insured, its not in show condition but will be, but i dont think thats the point of the meetings now is it? more about meeting other f-body enthusiasts and trading stories and helping each other, i currently work at a bodyshop in bay ridge till 5 oclock mon-fri, i am pretty good at web design and dont have too many meeting location ideas but ustlet me know how i could help you to get this rolling. Oh, there is a beach over in SI with a parking lot, not sure about if the lot closes at night or what but its the off the first exit after the toll of the verazzano, lilly pond, thats all i could think of right now but something i could look into if youd like. Please contact me through here or email me at brooklynyte@hotmail.com until then, PEACE!!

 

whats wrong with island guys, we play just a lil too hard. we got our spots from the hamptons to NJ
