gessner17 Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Hey everyone, this will be my first post in this forum (newbie). I am planning on coming to this meet. I was wondering if you could just give me a quick rundown of everything, just in case I missed anything reading through the forums. I will most likely be bringing one other person. Probably camping also. Is sat the big day? Anything going on on Sunday? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted April 12, 2004 Author Share Posted April 12, 2004 Sunday is mostly so everybody doesnt have to leave so early and can stick around and do stuff in the evening. Nothing is planned for after the "show" portion so its up in the air what we are all doing on Sat night. I found what might be an RC car track in a nearby town that we could investigate, or we could go down to a park I found with a pretty washed out road to it, etc. I don't think there will be any problem finding things to do to fill time.

eyesore Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hey, Shawn... Perhaps you can photoshop the pic of the map you took, and place an "X" on where we are to meet so everybody knows exactly where the picnic shelter is? Just a thought to simplify things a bit, and maybe prevent anyone getting lost/confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 GPS coords would have been cool. I think I might have them saved but I didnt mark them well that i can tell one from another. Sorry. Bring those GPS's along they will be fun to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHansen Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Hey, McBrat (and others headed through McBrat's vicinity to and from the meet) Miles Fox done got it together to pick up those two Subarus near you Since he can only trailer one back, the plan is to get the 1984 turbo wagon with the blown turbo back up and running so as to drive back to IN. So, as figuring there will be an unseasonably high concentration of Subaru maniacs in the area, what are the chances of a small wrenching party to resuscitate that wagon either before or after the meet? I myself won't be going...I'm busy editing the movie! See you in Butler at the end of May with an early cut of it. Also, ShawnW; I know you had planned on being rid of it by now, but if you still have that beige parts wagon, the Butler boys will gladly relieve you of anything you're disposing of (all that beige interior stuff, for example) either on the way out or on the way back, depending. Fox is going to try to check his e-mail on a daily basis through this week to plan various caravanning and meet-up type activities related to the Iowa meet and the retrieval of those two Subarus. -Tim Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 I junked the parts car, didn't want trouble with the landlord. Friday night if you are passing thru you can rummage thru the stash. Give me a call. Im not sure I will want to spend time fixing a Subaru this weekend. I need a weekend off of that. Nothing but that for about 2 months has me kindof burnt out.

TimHansen Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Fox & Company: I spoke to Mr. Starry (the guy with the Subaru's...appropo, eh?) and everything should be a go for the 24th, although he said they're expecting rain in Des Moines. I am sending the $200 money order to him tomorrow. Be safe, eh? -Tim Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 i found a local guy with 7 soobs, 5 of them need work. if i could make some quick 100 bucks, we will have eli's dad drive the van, put my car on the trailer. we will go to des moiunes and drop my car, and the van will take the sedan back to butler, we will continue on to the meet, and try to take the wagon back on the way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omahasubaru Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 You're going to hate me, but I won't be able to attend. I stil think at least 2-3 NSOC guys will be in attendance. I had a detail job come up on a rare 93.5 hard top Supra with only 14k miles on it that I to take. I guess he's selling it and wants it looking flawless and although it won't need much work, he is a good friend and really want to help him out so the sooner the better. This really sucks as I was hoping to go and bring my SVX along. Maybe someone would be interested in it. If you guys have another Iowa area meet let me know, I'd still like to attend one. Again I'm sorry I can't make it. I've been gone a lot lately with Evolution Schools and autocrossing. Sincerely, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganM Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 What a horrible day My wife came home from work and said her power steering was gone and the battery light was on. I poped the hood and saw smoke and coolant all over. The one belt that runs everything (power steering, alternator, AC pump, water pump) was just laying there. She said the powersteering and light came on right when she left work. This means the water pump was not working for her entire commute home. I put the belt back on and started it up... its screwed. Wont idle, whole engine shakes and knocks real bad, smoke and coolant just pour from somewhere between the crank pulley and water pump. Needless to say I do not have time or money to finish my subaru or attend the midwest subaru rally. If it isn't one thing its 15 others... Take lots of pictures for me and have fun guys. Maybe next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHansen Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Archemitis...maybe you and Morgan can carpool or something? Anyhow, Subaru Alliance guys, I just got off the phone with our man in Des Moines, and a $150 money order is on its way to him. It might not make it in time so I gave him the serial # and the post office phone number and you guys should be good to go. Fox, you need to call him and set up the time you'll be there...he doesn't want to wait around the whole day for you. Good luck with everything! -Tim Hansen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
