Invite to CrossroadOnline Picnic May 18th !

[S1L1C0N]

The Crossroad (http://www.crossroadonline.com) would like to formally invite the Marauders to join us @ our first Picnic of the season.

The Crossroad was developed for the true Car Enthusiast. We are a group of people who respect the time, pride, effort, and work that people like you put into their ride. The Crossroad is not a club nor a "crew." In fact we are now made up drivers worldwide, members of other clubs, and people who are looking to share their love for cars with others. Whether you are into Auto Cross, Drag Racing, Road Racing, Road Rallies, Car Shows, Cruises or just talking about or getting help with projects for your ride The Crossroad is for you. Many clubs do not have the technical resources to develop forums for users to keep in touch between meetings, this is what we bring to the table. Interested in a private forum for your club? Activity schedules & Announcements? Let us know.

Sounds cool, unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to go but really wish I could. Thanks for the invite. I love Lambos...

[S1L1C0N]

Looking to get a headcount, will anyone be representing Mercury Marauders!?

[MAD-3R's Wife]

Mad and I are looking at making it. We need to confirm that nothing else is on our schedule. Like his parents asking for help with something.

THE PICNIC WILL GO ON RAIN OR SHINE, It is sunday morning and we are going from rain to drizzle with patches of no precip. We regret to inform that the Moonbounce will not be available due to the rain (requires electricity), The Segway also will not be making an appearance due to the rain. We look forward to meeting some of you under the tents And there will be seating under a partially covered area of the building (unless the sky is falling, you wont get wet) Remember, this event is about meeting new folks with the same interest, automobiles, not showing your cars, If the cars are scared of a lil rain, no biggie, come out in the minivan! Either way, I promise no muddy parking asphalt only!
