We are doing tail of the dragon for memorial day

[enderswift]

I heard about the dragon meet. I might join in.

It would still be nice to have a local meet for those that don't want to drive out all the way to the smokey mountains. What do you guys think? still in for the 14th at starved?

[navseal345]

14th works for me.

[CoolZeen]

yeah lets do the 14. is on common people is time. respond , so i can start spreading the word to other celica owners.

[Bitter]

I'm still down for May 14th, also might be down for Dragon. I think Memorial day weekend is going to be an absolute zoo down there though, probably better to do a non holiday weekend for that. I know that can make it trickier to schedule for some people but you'll get WAY less tourists and squids around to deal with and much easier time getting food and rooms.

[CoolZeen]

ok is official we doing the 14 of may 2022. spread the word.

[enderswift]

awesome,

spread the word indeed bros

[Bitter]

The word is legs, spread the word.

[CoolZeen]

[enderswift]

Jake and Sam are in and may be bringing one of their secret fancy new cars

I believe Louis and his wife are in too

Should be a decent group

I got the Celica out last week as a birthday present to myself and re-bedded the brakes for summer and found that my passenger side HID bulb decided that it wanted to turn pink this year. Ordered some new bulbs, NightBreaker Laser this time to replace the previous Unlimited. I have to pull the bumper and loosen the headlights to change the bulbs, not hard to do but not my favorite thing to do. I need to think of what else I have to do in there while the bumper is off. I might change out the radiator, it's 20yrs old and plastic doesn't last forever.

Zeen, you use up those Z2's yet? How'd you like them?

they still in the basement with the wheels ,since i sold the daily celica I never got to use them , not even on the Zeenlica because it became showcar/garage queen .

Sorry, out of town the 14th. But sure would like to hit a 6GC get-together again soon! I hope it's a blast!

[Bitter]

Bummer! Well I hope they can see some road to finish shredding the tread one day.

Man, if this weather keeps ****ing around like this we might be huddled around a fire for warmth at the May meet. I got snowed on twice yesterday and I bet they re-salted the roads again last night. Ah well Celica is going to be down for a week or two anyway, I ordered a new radiator and HID bulbs to install while the bumper is off. 22yr old plastic isn't inspiring a lot of confidence!

[enderswift]

yea really,

fingers crossed it warms up and gets green by then

[Bitter]

My damn brakes re rusted over because of this stupid crazy weather. Hot cold hot cold.

[CoolZeen]

last weekend ,early was going to a cars n coffee , when i pull the car out the garage , brake line busted , Thank God it happen right at home and not on the road. its all fix now.

[Bitter]

Is this weather ever going to clear up? It was nice yesterday, I should have gotten the car out to drive and clear the brakes up again but I knew all week was going to be **** once more so I didn't bother getting past a wash cloth bath on the car lol. At least my raspberry bush in the back yard likes all this weather.

Jake and I will be there. Fair warning I have to be on my way (Jake and I will be in separate Celicas) by 5pm so unlikely I'll be able to grab dinner. You guys can see the newest addition to our fleet and *fingers crossed* hopefully the finished product on Scarlett (minus paint)
