Author Message   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 05:22 pm:    So, what I really want to know is this....how many gals will be there (besides me!)? Wives, girlfriends, fiances? Reading posts about all the modifications being done in preparation, and all the beer and cigars being bought is making me wonder if I will be in a LARGE minority! Maybe I should send my fiance in my truck and stay home....YEAH RIGHT!   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 05:55 pm:    well Rob D. won't be there, so there goes all the lady power. haha. alyssa going to be there Ron? going to see who can do more damage?   Camille (Gwagenbabe) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 05:57 pm:    I'll be there! 23 days and counting ! *Camille   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 06:02 pm:    just because you said that, i'm going. i'm going to take my beat up looking rover to show you it's not the car, it's the charm. rd   Danno (Danno) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 06:16 pm:    what about all the strippers that are supposed to show up???   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:25 pm:    GP, you were painting pottery in public and you are calling Rob a girl?? Damn, that's just wrong.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:43 pm:    Wait a minute......Garrett painting pottery in public. That's like knitting in a pub. Man Garrett, you sure have changed.   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:47 pm:    MAR????where when...please tell me mike w   Danno (Danno) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:50 pm:    Mid Atlantic Rally http://www.roav.org/   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 07:59 pm:    TY, danno   gp (Garrett) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 09:32 pm:    rob you should take your RR. i have seen way too many bone stock RRC's walk up shit that have given locked trucks issues. (it ain't always the driver either) anyhow half the fun there is just camping, drinking, chillin' and BSing. not that bad a drive for you Burgh' folk. and Eric......i know, you are right i really should not bust on Rob. but actually i think he is going to a Back Street Boys concert. i think he knows what i mean. haha.   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 10:26 pm:    That's ok GP. I don't know why I said that. The time that I met Rob he wanted to drug me and take my sliders and my rear bumper.. I don't even want to think about what else he may have wanted to do to me while I was out.. Really though Rob, you should go. You drove down here to run the dirt roads in GWNF at least these trails are better (I think).   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 10:53 pm:    honestly i dont know if my truck can make the drive i'll think about it rd   EricV (Bender2033) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:13 am:    Sus, My wife, my brother-in-law's wife, and the wives of two of our buddies are going ... even a baby! (but they will be staying in a hotel).   Tommy Dougherty (Skydiver) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 05:10 am:    I'll be there w/ my wife, son (3.5yrs) and daughter (2yrs).. so that's another 1.25 women to add. One of my friend's is going and he said his wife and kids (3 daughters) might make an appearance. -Tommy   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 07:58 am:    shit man. if i can drive a '69 IIA with tons of slop in the steering box, very bad brakes and whatever else Evan did not tell me, you can drive your RR. i think he was actually trying to kill me and was faking the ankle injury!!! i drove it from the Harrisburg area, so Rob you can drive that RR down to MAR from the Burgh. just bring some duct tape and antifreeze and you will be golden. as Ho says.......just do it.   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:16 am:    Sus, my wife will be there. Plus, another couple is following us, so there's at least two more to add to your contingent! Look for us on top of the hill across from the vendors. That's where all of the DII folks are planning on camping (at least that's where I think we'll be camping).   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:41 am:    Well GP took my thread to talk about 'capability!' ;) Thanks for everyone's answers! Camille...I know you will be there-look forward to meeting you and the G! Greg D-so DII people camp separately from DIs?! Is this a clique thing?! I'm not sure if all the kids count....but I'll be the one doing all the Rover talkin! And hopefully the driving too! Somebody search me out when I get there...so I know who all of you are!!   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 09:49 am:    Well Greg, it depends who gets there first. It's all about taking the hill.   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:11 am:    Well, we're heading out of Charlotte at 10 am, so that should put us there at aroung 3-3:30 Friday. We'll hook up then. Sus, not a clique thing, just trying to put as many faces with the names as possible. Yours included!   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:49 am:    Definitely....that's one of the biggest attractions of MAR. Getting to know some REAL Rover people and not just cyber names! I was kidding about the cliques! And if you have a chance Greg, I would really appreciate it if you could look at the panhard/steering rod problem I've got (from a previous post)!! I'm really hoping a simple adjustment will do the trick. Another question for anyone who knows: If we don't arrive until late Friday or early Saturday, will we miss much? Ideally, it would be Friday around 7 or 8pm...but you never know.   David Gage (Davidg) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 10:51 am:    I will be on the hill too. toward the end (like last year, the year before, and the year before that, you get the picture). I have the green British military tent behind the Freeloader (if some one drives it up for me) I will also have the BD U haul similar to the one I took to Uwharri. Other vehicles to include a white D2, a couple old series, maybe a 110, a Rangie or 2 and who knows what else. I will be there bright eyed Friday AM (since I am actually getting there Thursday afternoon) David   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 11:25 am:    Well, Paul and I have rolled our departure time back from Thursday night to sometime early Friday morning, so we should be there fairly early Friday morning. On a separate note, if any other PA area people would like to follow down, let us know. I know a few people mentioned it but couldn't leave on Thursday, so not sure if this makes a difference for you.   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:04 pm:    Guess, I'm just going to camp where ever I can find a spot. Hopefully by some trees. Sounds like I better get there early if I want even a half way decent spot.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:10 pm:    Eric - a few of us are getting there fairly early on Friday - noon-ish - will probably camp on the island if you want to join the fracas! Bill   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:15 pm:    Ya, that sounds good.. I live in N.VA so it isn't that far of a drive for me. I'm not sure what time I'm getting there though. Guess it's all just a matter of what time I get up in the morning. Shooting for around noon or 1 ish on Friday.   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:22 pm:    Getting up or leaving for MAR?   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:26 pm:    Um, shooting to be at MAR by noon or 1 ish. Maybe earlier cause I'm really not sure how long it will take me to get there. I'll probably get up around 8 or 9. shesh..   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 12:39 pm:    My goal is to have beverage in hand by noon.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:05 pm:    Eric - meeting a friend in NOVA to leave from there if you want to hook up. He lives off 66 near 15/234. Bill   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 01:24 pm:    Sure that would be cool. Shoot me an email at my home address eric@grnrvr.com so that I can get all the particulars.   Marc Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:34 pm:    My wife is coming and I know of 3-4 other women in our group. Sounds like you should have plenty of company, Sus. See ya there. -Marc   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 02:52 pm:    looks like i am not leaving until 1 pm with Jen and the 7 year old (Jenna). save me a spot on the island far from Evan. haha. don't need is noxious fumes entering our tent at 3 am!!! so there are 2 other girls for ya Sus. oh the dogs we are bringing are girls too. damn i am out numbered.   David Gage (Davidg) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:40 pm:    Is this where I am supposed to post the SWM Seeks adventurous SWF with her own Land Rover Must like mud, dirt sweat, beer etc. ad? David   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 03:41 pm:    ROTFL! -L   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 04:37 pm:    Nice David!! Gp-glad to hear it. I'm bringing my dog too...she's a girl. Good to know I won't be completely outnumbered...not that being surrounded by a majority of men has ever bothered me! Can't wait to meet everyone.   Kim S (Roverine) Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2002 - 08:25 pm:    hi sus, know how you're feeling ... it'll work out fine (ask me how i know .. try going to a spot with no trees, no bushes, no water, all guys ... if it helps i will e mail you a few helpful tips i picked up ...) have fun!!! kim   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 10:18 am:    Thanks Kim, for all of your advice. I'm pretty tough...can 'rough' it with the best of them. I've done my share of camping and 'going' in the woods...though it's never easy for a woman. The best part is surprising people...I look pretty girly...could wear a formal gown and hiking boots if necessary! Too bad you can't come across from So-Cal!   Kim S (Roverine) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 12:10 pm:    Yeah, you'll have fun We've been cooking up plenty o' stuff to do out here in the wild west ... y'all gotta come out our way sometime too. Kim   Chris von Czoernig (Chrisvonc) Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 03:30 pm:    Hey all you ladies hitting MAR. Get lots of pictures of you gals wheeling and send them over to Lisa and I at Rovergirls.com! We need at least some trail pictures for 2002. New members never hurt either LOL. Chris and Lisa http://www.rovergirls.com   the Big Daddy Posted on Friday, September 13, 2002 - 04:11 pm:    Girls....Girls.. I don't need no stinkin girls, I got Garrett!
