We could have a "help Mambeu put in a new engine" party at my house; I'm pretty central. :D

Seriously, that sounds like a great idea, especially if we can get people from all over the chapter there. What kind of meet-and-greet are you thinking of? Any wheeling, or just putting faces to names and maybe discussing some chapter business?

Let's keep it on topic. There are plenty of Rob bashing threads, on every bulletin board he visits.

Mid-December would be a little tough for me (my class and it's giant research paper are concluding around the 15th), but a January weekend I could probably swing..

An indoor thing might be better that time of year, unless Matt's got a big heated garage for us to hang out in.

If I'm free I'll try to be there. January sounds good to me.

Something indoors would probably be prefered by most people, so either a good eatery, garage, or both. I've seen some other clubs that set up little how-to sessions like the basics of welding, how to set gears, etc. Maybe if a large enough shop is offered up something like this could happen and give people more of a reason to stop by?

Late December or very early January works for me as well.

Not to sound not interested or crude but, West Nyack, NY is about a 220mile (one way) trip for me. So, there would deffinatly have to be a good interest in this before I drive ~450miles. What other places are around?

agreed... but thats one of the drawbacks of such a large geographic area.

if i have the time and it sounds like a good time i'll be there.

If we get a more New England response, I am game for anything between CT and VT. That way I can always stay at my place in Southern VT if I have to.

I'm going to put together a M&G here near Binghamton to see if I can get some local turn out it will be for anybody that wants to wheel not just XJ's though. Jan 20th most likly at a place called the ramblin pig in Conklin NY just north of the PA border,it has a large parking lot for our rigs and we can hang out with out taking up customer parking. The best barb-q I've ever had.

Sounds like a plan to me.... could make myself a ski/board trip out of it in the Catskills.

PS
How does it compare to Dinosaur BBQ? THey have tons of beers on tap!

It's not just Q-ed it smoked and it blows them away,but no alcohol , more family type. plus lots of parking lot room.
