London Area Fbody

So who's interested in a little more organization for fbodies in the area? A regular hangout spot and weekly/monthly meetings for anything from just a cruise to ripping it up on the track(1/4mi, autox, road racing, etc...).

I've talked with a few people now right here in London(met Mike today who just drove by in a SWEET IROC and stopped to say hi when he saw me working on my car) and we could be setting up some great things here guys. Anything from discounts at parts stores to shootouts with other clubs to fundraisers with prizes. Would make summer a little more fun.

I'm not saying start up a club with membership fees but if we had something we all belonged to and particpated in together frequently it'd be fun and easier to get help or whatever when ya need it.

Thoughts, suggestions...?

Hey Brad,

Not really that new an idea... I've talked to Jay a few times and he's been thinking the same thing. Tonight when Mike stopped by and mentioned the idea as well we both said lets get something started.

GB is a great idea. Maybe we could setup 1 or 2 wednesdays a month(2 dates would make it easier for people) and make it the same each month to go. Say like the first and third wednesday of each month kinda thing... Don't expect people to go all the time but at least we can plan to go together easier and see who else may be going via weboard.

Also a hangout spot like Timmies is always a good idea...

Not making it out tonight guys If it dries up the air will be great but the track probably cold. Just have to get my damn exhaust modified a bit to fit around my moroso street/strip pan. It's not angling around the pan properly. So close tho!

Sounds great! Would be nice to hook up with some friends a bit more regularly. Not quite up to running a club yet but we probably have a few of us in London who would be up for a get together every so often. I often hit Sparta on Fri nites and CT Dundas Sundays...??? More suggestions?

I was out of town, but yeah, it's pretty nice for a P-body . Love the 4th gen dash tho! Usually a fair number of 3rd gens there and always lots of F-bods! We gotta start hookin up more formally, so I have more people to con into helping me on my car, those headers would look better under the hood than in the basement and the car has not been out in about three weeks now
