I'm driving my Eagle to CO in a couple weeks and wondering if the Denver/Springs guys would like to get together either March 3rd or 4th. Maybe something centrally located like Castle Rock? I'm hoping that my work schedule stays the same. The trip to Colorado has been changed twice, but I think this time it is set in stone.
-
Count me in! Castle Rock area works for me!
-
Castle Rock is only 22 miles away. Count me in! :hello: :eagle:
-
i wish i could but i never know what my work schedule is going to be that and I've never driven her more than 20 miles in a day so i don't really think she will make that long of a trip.
-

Hopefully your schedule will work out and there's only one way to know if she'll make it. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v637/svoman2300/Smilies/smiley_driving.gif)
-
I'll be slap in the middle of a military exercise. I'll try once a place/date/time is finalized.
-
My eagle has a broken leaf spring, and I've got a broken collar bone, so I dont think we'll be able to make it.
-
I messed up the dates originally. I had 4th or 5th when it should have been 3rd or 4th. I will definitely be arriving on Friday the 2nd as long as there aren't any problems with the Eagle, so let's agree on a date and time. I won't be available Saturday morning but mid afternoon and later will be fine. Sunday, I'm open all day.
-
Love to make the trip to the other side of the mountains(sounds like a great weekend road trip), but doubt the bird will be licensed by then, so probably not...

I'm available any of those times. Eaglebeek, Shanebo - how about you guys?
-
Id say that will work for me...is love a good excuse to take the old bird out. Now that I live in the springs that's only a 30 min drive.for me.

Saturday afternoon would be best for me. :eagle:

Great. How's Saturday at 3 sound? Or would 2 or 4 work better? Sonic on Founders Pkwy?
-
Saturday afternoon at the Sonic on Founders Pkwy is OK...I'm not fussy about the time. :eagle:

Same with me, not fussy about the time, Saturday afternoon works great.
-
Let's say Saturday at 2 PM at Sonic unless it's really cold and then will find a place where we can sit inside.
-
Sounds like a plan to me....were bound to get a little attention too. Castle rock hasn't seen that many eagles since the 80's. This is going to be a blast.
-
Saturday at 2 it is. see y'all then. :eagle:
-
Of course we will all be expecting photos!

Yes, there will be photos. And you are welcome to join us Rollguy! Just a short trip from sunny southern California!

Yea, right. I would have had to leave this morning to get there on time! However, my Eagle has the sleeping gear in it all the time, so I could have left at a moments notice.
-
Strike Eagle is going to be there also.

Think of me while your all meeting, I will be in ogden, utah that week visiting with some family
-
Sounds like Terry from the Rambler Ranch is going to join us at Sonic.
And ReverendBill, Ogden is just up the road ;)
-
Man, I do have 3 day weekends. Really would be cool to meet all of you, but I don't think I could afford the trip. Plus something still isn't right with the car. My last Fuel Up had me at 14mpg and that was almost all Interstate. So it should have been better.
-
This week can't go fast enough!! I feel like a kid on Christmas eve .

you know i did mapquest it and i was thinking to myself "that's only 8 hours away" then i realized that I'll have already spent 32 hours in the jeep to get to ogden :o ....... sadly I don't think my wife is going to allow me to have 2 "just me" days while out there

Work's definitely more important. I will be a week in CO and then a week or 2 in NV and then coming back to CO for a few days. If it works out maybe we can have another get together before I go back to TN.
I posted it up on the AMC site and the full size Jeep site. It looks like there may be a couple of them showing up from the other forums.
-
Rick is en route! :)
Thanks a lot for meeting up with me in Rolla. I know it was a bit out of the way, but we swapped cargo covers since I have the nutmeg interior with the honey cover and he has the honey interior with the nutmeg cover. All is right with the world again!
Here is a quick snap of us in the Panera parking lot.

Rafe, I was glad to get that nice looking nutmeg cargo cover to the trailer queen. I knew there had to be a reason I found that perfect cover in an Eagle that was in horrible shape at the junkyard.

I too am glad at least one good thing came out of that :censored: purchase I made on my third Eagle!

Welcome to Colorado Eaglefreek :blob1: :eagle:
Thanks.
I rejetted my carb twice. Once in Kansas and them in Burlington, Co. I timed myself from start to finish. Just under 6 minutes.

Welcome back to Colorado! Glad you had a good trip.
I've put together a little itinerary for today's mini-meet:
2:00 Meet at Sonic, have root beer floats
2:15 Replace Eaglebeek's exhaust system
2:30 Replace Shanebo's front suspension and steering components to try to eliminate the vibration
2:45 Return Strike Eagle's car to stock, decide we liked the modified version better, and make it like it was
3:00 New carpet in my car
3:15 Preventative maintenance on Eaglefreek's car since he made the long trip, and swap out his front bumper with winch and rear bumper with tire carrier and hope he doesn't notice
3:30 Help Nashkid (Terry) pick up 5 more Eagles (but not ours) for the Rambler Ranch
3:45 Drive down to Pueblo and say Hey! to Maddog
4:00 Stop by Gronk's place and see his stockpile of Eagles (even if he isn't there)
4:15 Call it a day
I'm open to suggestions if anybody thinks we can squeeze some more in, let me know
-
That might be just a tad ambitions...:)
-
Have fun all! Wish I could be out there, but I'm stuck working :'(. Hopefully I'll be able to make it one of these days...

Yeah, my exhaust is almost embarrasing :hiding: The Eagle needed an emissions test before I could renew the registration this year...don't get me started on why I needed the test :banghead:...and the original exhaust wasn't going to pass. I took everything out except the catalytic converter and jury-rigged a system that would pass emissions. Long story shortened...it passed emissions and I was driving it home from work in a heavy and slushy snowstorm. The jury-rigged exhaust broke off just behind the cat :o
I've cobbed it together again. It will be at the mini-meet. See y'all there ;D :eagle:

3:45 Drive down to Pueblo and say Hey! to Maddog
i just now got home and that would have been fun to see a bunch of Eagles come rolling in. i hope you all had a good time i sure wish i could have made it but i've had to work all weekend.
have a safe trip eaglefreek.

That sounds like a normal days work to me! Oh, and I will leave right now and drive over and give you a hand!

Well, the Mini-Meet was a success, even though we only got one thing done on the list (getting a root beer float). We had five Eagle Nesters turn out: Eaglefreek, Strike Eagle, Eaglebeek, Shanebo, and myself. In addition there was a Spirit (w/ a 360 engine), an AMX, a full size jeep, and a J-10 pickup. We admired the great Eagles and AMCs, BS'ed, and generally had a great time. It was good to take some time and see the mods that Strike Eagle had done to his SX/4, and Eaglefreek had done to his wagon. Eaglebeek"s wagon is to be admired as a daily driver that continues to meet all challenges. And Shanebo has a diamond in the rough with the SX/4 he picked up. Thanks to everybody that turned out, it was a good time, we'll have to do it again when its a little less windy. Here are the photos, and an egg for everyone that made it on short notice, with an extra egg to Eaglefreek for suggesting the Mini-Meet.
Five Eagles (plus a Spirit and a Jeep and an AMX) all in a row

I'm glad we had a decent turn out. I thought meeting at 2 would be after the lunch time rush. Boy was I wrong. That place was busy the whole time we were there. It was fun watching the people drive by and look at all the cars. One lady in the drive thru in a minivan asked if it was a club. She said her husband has an Eagle, with a big grin on her face. It seems like I have to drive several hundred, if not more than a thousand miles to hang with some Eagles.
-
the reason it was so busy is because sonic has happy hour from 2 to 5 everyday.
-
Now ya tell us :rotfl: . It was all good though. Wish you could have joined us maddog, next time we will have to meet at the sonic down by you. It was kind of funny in one of those pictures you can see both my wife and eaglebeeks wife sitting patiently in the passangers seats
While us guys are getting our amc fix. God bless em....they never complained a bit the whole time...I sure caught an ear full on the way home though...but it was soooooo worth it >:D :rotfl:
-
I thought about y'all yesterday while i was knee deep in carb builds. looks like everyone had a blast!
I have a secret cash stash started to get Tootie and Bouquet on the road soon so next time I can show up in force.....
Great looking Eagles EVERYONE!!!

I have a secret cash stash started
Just reminded me of when my ex found my "secret cash stash". :censored:
Sorry you couldn't make it.

Way to take one for the team Shanebo! Once again, I thought your wife was very nice - no need to re-post that pit bull picture from the last time I said that :rotfl:

There must be more Eagles in CO than any other state!

I'm a fairly accomplished water skier, I figure - cruise control and some rope and I'll ride them like waterskis....

seeing as i work at a sonic i really wouldn't want to meet up at one of the ones here in pueblo. i'm tired of seeing sonic that and i think it's starting to haunt my dreams. :o

DUDE! Just saw this! nice ode to the first year's Meet with the Sonic photos! I love it!!!!
