Vegas, Baby . . .

[studio460]

Started a new thread to discuss the Las Vegas Marauder meet projected for Spring 2004. I know I'm game. Any other Southern Californians up for it? Everyone's welcome!

[JamesHecker]

I'm digging this plan!

I think the highway trip would be great in caravan!

[Directedby]

I'm in.

My 2004 MM arrived yesterday. They want $499 for the spoiler. Welcome to California. I will order from FORDPARTS.COM

I am going to look at it today and if all goes well (paint is good) I will drive it home.

Vegas sounds great.

[JamesHecker]

Congrats Directed by! Looking forward to seeing pictures posted of your son's new car! :D

[RocketCouch]

I'm up for it!

[jgc61sr2002]

Directedby - Congrats. Enjoy your new ride.:D

[JamesHecker]

I just stopped by my Lincoln dealer's to see if they had an '04 yet. I wanted to take a look at the overhead console to see if I could use it in my '03 with an aftermarket moonroof.

They did have one, and they told me someone just bought it. Well turns out it was Directedby!

The car looked great! I was glad I could be there to congratulate Directedby in person!

They have a silver one there as well. Anyone...?

[Dave Compson]

Well, you all know i am here. I mean i am up for a marauder meet in vegas. In fact, ill volunteer my house. (to be used as a lodging place, parking lot for marauders, place to crash... ect.

Sounds like fun to me. It's a little further than I care to drive alone (I tend to doze off after 250 miles or so), but I'm sure I can find a co-pilot.

[ParkRanger]

Count me in, Shooter!

Maybe we all meet in Baker at a specified time and then caravan in - down the strip - through downtown - and then stop at the closest watering hole. Yeah, Baby!

Park Ranger - :up:

[Dave Compson]

Yeah, we can cruise down the strip. Stop a couple of times and take in the local sights, have a drink. Then we can have a BBQ at my house, or there is always hooters again...

[studio460]

Sounds like a great idea, Park Ranger!

Dave:

If I go with my girlfriend . . . well I dunno. Maybe I'll bring my dad instead--THEN, it's off to Olympic Gardens after the meet!!! I've been promising to take him to the buffet at Mandalay Bay, too.

[Dave Compson]

Either way is fine with me. Bring your girlfriend to the O.G., thats always a good time. What happens in vegas, stays in vegas!

[ParkRanger]

Most likely I will be with Candace, my wife (she's originally from Wisconsin and LOVES Vegas). Maybe I can drop her off with Shooter's girlfriend, give them some bucks to gamble, and we go on to OG! Yeah, that's it!!!

:stupid:

Dave:

My company is buying out the car leases and will be selling my MM to me at reduced cost. Don't know the price yet but mods will be ordered by Jan 04! Will need some advice from you guys to make sure I'm making the right moves.

Ranger,

Cool news about the company car. Let the MODS Begin!!! When you are ready, let us know.

[ChuckB]

NBC,

sounds like a fun time. wife and i will make the drive or trailer it from Sacramento. best time in vegas is after the rain and before the heat - april / may is good.

might be able to coordinate thru one of the better hotels on the strip and get perks, comps and better rates depending on the number attending. The Belagio can be quite accomodating in the off season.

[Dave Compson]

Off season? Man thats my fav. part of the year here. The weather is great, (not too hot, and not too cold)

[GarageMahal]

I am contemplating the drive also. I have some good friends in Vegas and have been itching for a road trip... although I may end up driving the Caddy if the weather looks good.

Keep me posted as a date develops.

jta

[Dave Compson]

Anytime is a good time for vegas! Dont worry, we will settle on a date.
