Road Trip

Oh yea, I know plenty of people who swear they love that place. The intersection there at Clinton and Coliseum Blvd always smells like someones cooking out because of them.

And as far as your route... don't take 224 or it will be 2:30.

75 to 30 is by far the best route, and most of all NON STOP. I prefer the loop around on a Saturday afternoon too, it'll save ya 10 minuites or so there too. Take 469 north, back down 69 south to the first exit.. (Coldwater RD) take that east, and your only a few blocks away.

I'll shoot ya a PM with my # if ya get lost.

Sounds like it will be fun!

If ya'll wouldn't mind, I might need a couple extra sets of hands. I am hoping to have my headliner back from upholstery shop around the corner on Saturday from my garage. Would anyone be able to give me a few minutes to help out after we have 5 Guys burgers?

Hey you still got my big light over there dontcha? I was trying to figure out what I did with that the other day when I was screwing around outside.. lol I have no need for it here now... just keepin track of things. I forgot all the crap I had up at Dougs, until I stopped out there the other day. Forgot I had a hoist, and engine stand over there.

For Five Guys fans, download their app. You input your CC# and can order on your phone.

When we convoyed down to Charlotte, we hit one at noon. While most of us had to wait in a long line, I ordered on my phone and walked right past everyone...

Eric VerValin · Mar 21, 2012

Good idea.... where it's located it could get pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon.

TimboSHO · Mar 21, 2012

Google maps has me doing 75 to 30, but then doing 930 to 5 guys. It looks like it would be a little quicker to go around town on 469 and 69, so I'll probably do that. Thanks for the help, and you number is saved in my phone!

I'll have to see what time we get done eating. I may have a little more time to **** before my wife expects me home

Maybe I missed it somewhere. Are we all meeting at 5 Guys and waiting for Timbo to arrive? Say we all meet up at like 12:30 - 1pm-ish?

TimboSHO · Mar 24, 2012

I've got Jeremy and Eric's number's I'll try to call them both when I leave Findlay so you have some sort of an ETA. Then I figure they will let the rest of you know. I'm hoping around 1. I'm leaving the house in the next 10 minutes!

dohcsable · Mar 24, 2012

Idk, im getting ready to head up that way now. Mike, ill pm my number if you want help with the headliner before hand.

TimboSHO · Mar 24, 2012

It was great to put a few more forum names with faces/real names

Thanks for the impromptu meet, it's always fun to hang out and talk SHOs. One question, who was the guy with the blue ATX? Never caught his name..... Also, I'll have to upload the pics from my phone and see if they are good enough to post.

boat · Mar 24, 2012

It was good hangin' with you too, again. Thanks for the help in getting the headliner, spoiler, and speedo cable clip in. Glad you had a safe trip back home.

His name was Bill (SharkosSho, spelling?).

Paul (dohcsable) just left here about 15-20 min ago. We finished my black interior, all except for the rear interior stuff. Gotta have someone weld a little bar or something on the right rear koni, so I can adjust it. It looks really nice in there.

I'll get pics posted in another thread later.

Eric VerValin · Mar 25, 2012

Sorry he was in a bit of a rush and what not when he showed up.

His name is Bill.. met him a few weeks back when he was thinking of selling that SHO on CL. He's on the forum here now, can't remember what his screen name is. He never met another SHO owner, so I figured I would shoot him a text and see if he was busy.

From what he was telling me, he can get time on the dyno here @ Ivy Tech... and they'll let you run your own car too. Might have to look into that sometime here soon.

Glad to know you got home ok... I was starting to wonder since I didn't see ya on here earlier. I know it had to be a long day for you with all driving.
