1st NIPRO (Northern Illinois Protegeclub) Meet

Hey everyone. I hope everyone enjoyed that lovely winter we had here in Northern Illinois. It is getting that time of year. The steelies are being stored back in the garages, the temperature switches are being moved from hot to cold, and those of us that have moonroofs; are opening them for the first time this year. Yep we are do for another meet. We had talked about this last year, calling ourselves NIPRO Club (Northern Illinois Protege Club). I am thinking that it is time to start up another thread about an upcoming meet. Who is all in, where would we like to call the meeting spot, and when should we have it? There you have it, the new one begins.

Pat, I'll do everything I can so you are not the only 1st gen Pro out there

When do you guys want to do it? For me, I got finals beginning to to mid May and I will be out of the state (and coutry ) from June 2nd. Anywhere in between is fine.

We are shooting for a weekend right ?

Hey, Patrick, thanks for getting the ball rolling.

I'll be out of town the first weekend in May and the first weekend in June, but other than that, I should be fine. Oh, also possibly over Memorial Day weekend.

Anyways, it would be nice to meet up with everyone again soon, I agree.

Talking MEET! MEET! MEET!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO ready for a meet!

I put the S-03's back on and I'm ready to roll. 2nd to last weekend in May should work for me. I don't mind organizing, but we HAVE TO FIND A PLACE that wants us to be there this time.

I don't want to deal with the Tree Police again. (Still haven't put my front plate back on...hee hee!)

I will be out of town for the first 12 days in May. So I can't attend until after that. The weather is too unpredictable before that in my opinion.

So....Dale....can you take the lead and organize this one, perhaps in conjunction with Pat or ????

Regards and anxious to meet,

Pete

Acutally, the weekend of May 24th probably won't work for me either (although I MIGHT be able to make it on Sunday the 25th), but if it works for everyone else, you should go ahead and do it.

If memory serves me correctly, we ran into this same problem last year, and then Mr. X had to leave town without ever meeting up with us. It would be nice if we could avoid that this year.

What do you think, Patrick?

And of course, Webmaster, you should be there, too.

you guys ready for the snow sunday night?????

I'm gonna be spending all day sunday doing a half-shaft replacement with my buddy on his '00 Si. We spen 3 hours today gettin all the "****" out of the way so we can pull the damn thing out, and the P.O.S. won't come out. And to replace his wheel bearing, we gotta take the "arm" in to a shop so they can pull the old one out and press in the new one. I hope our Pro's aren't that difficult...

D'oh!

Thanks for reminding me, guys...I've got 8 hours of traffic school myself that I need to take care of.

Hmmm...well, if the 17th won't work, what about Sunday the 18th? Or will you still be celebrating your anniversary, Kory?

Dress warm, Pat...it's cold out there today!
