Who is Officially coming to Branson?

[supermario680]

I really would love to go and meet everyone and check out all the Z's. Just wondering who's is coming!

Also curious to pre/post Branson plans, meet ups, cruizes, cookouts, get togethers etc... So I can ask off for work the proper days...

[adamvann3]

A bunch of us from WI have driven down the past 2 years. We havent set a hard departure date, but we are leaning toward tues/weds.

Its worth the trip with or without the Z. Probably the most anticipated vacation I take all year.

[b15sent]

There you go. I'm already in with the Z.

[Andy]

Registered and booked!

[1990 FairladyZ]

I think I'm going to miss this year, sorry.

[supermario680]

[1990 FairladyZ]

[1990 FairladyZ]

[b15sent]

I'm getting a room away from you crazy f**kers! :) hahahahaha

[Andy]

Same here , Lorrie said no way to that hotel with quote "them crazy fkers" Staying at Mountain Vista this year , pretty nice place. See you idiots in a few months.

[hambone8044]

If my build is done i will be there in it! if not i should be there in my NA. Already put in my vacation time for the hole week. Hopefully my build will be done mid May.

[funkysi]

Doesn't look like I'll be making it out this year chaps. Pretty devastated. I'm clean out of money at the moment and might be moving house this year as well. Flight prices have also gone through the roof. I'm usually pretty flush for cash, but I just don't have any of it this year. :cry:

It was gonna be the year of the farm for me as well. :sad:

[TnkrsToyCo]

Well shit Si, we'll miss ya.

[funkysi]

Really gonna miss you guys too. Absolutely loved Branson last year and wanted to go this year so badly. But currently, it just ain't gonna happen. :(

[rockchucker]

Banned!!!

[funkysi]

If I could magic $1000 out of thin air, then I'd come dude! I'm usually pretty flush, but I'm clean out this year. :'(

Nobody is more gutted than me!

[rockchucker]

Oh man...Just sell your car! NOT!!!


Well that news sucks. What airline do you usually fly? Where do you fly out of?

[funkysi]

Usually fly out of Heathrow Airport in London and I'll pick the cheapest carrier. But the only one that'll get me to either of the Branson Airports would be Delta.

£600 = $960

Don't give up yet Simon.... ;)

[funkysi]

Hmmmm. Well, I'll keep optimistic, but it's currently not looking hopeful.

[lasz'zz]

Our registration is in, 4th year for us. Come on Arkansas people where are y'all

[DaveSB]

Aaaaaand registered.

[Honad]

I will certainly be there. Probably heading down on Wednesday.

[adamvann3]

Aaaaaand registered.

What day/route are heading down? Was seeing if it was feasible to meet up the WI, IL, MI folks on 55.

[1990 FairladyZ]

^
Get with Supermario, he's another wisconsinite that's coming

[supermario680]

hey adamvann3, are you going from milwaukee or madison area? I could meet up with you guys down there or something..

[leftd90]

Looks like the wife and I will be trying to make our first ever Branson Z Fest.

[TnkrsToyCo]

That'd be great.

[yesiownanmgb]

Will be there with the Acadiana Sports Car Orphanage banner, tent, and parts.

Simon, try going to XNA. That's Fayetteville, Arkansas. Should be a couple of hundred dollars cheaper.

He could fly to Kansas City international and ride down with some of us? that prob his cheapest route

[funkysi]

Thanks guys. It's still cash I just don't have right now. :'(

[daddy Z]

Thanks guys. It's still cash I just don't have right now. :'(

Ok, I have it ....... do a round trip to Dallas, we will take a collection up once you have the #of $s you need!

I will put you up at my home and let you either drive one of my many POSs or you can just ride with me. I will cover all your expenses once you get here.

All this for just one favor. I am in London from April 12th till May 2nd to visit my son. The first week he is still working everyday and I want to play. I need someone to show me around.

Either way give me a PM so we can hook up when I am in London.

Bobby Jay
Old man Bob
Daddy Z, SMZ, GTR, .... who's your daddy LOL

[daddy Z]

The S2000 group let me run with them on their Boston Mountain Tour in Arkansas this past month. I told them about Branson Z Fest and they asked if S2000s might be welcome.

All I can say is they are a great group and love to do the some things as us Z folk. Namely, spirited cruises, parking lot parties, and oh yaaa .... lots of use of the ETOH

[TnkrsToyCo]

You were in the Boston Mtns and didn't call.

They are welcome to come, but there wouldn't be a show category for them. We've had all sorts of different cars come in the past.

[daddy Z]

I ment to call but was just having too much fun. Will they be able to cruise and party with us ? How about just have a peoples choice for the S2000 cars that want to show with maybe an honorable mention at the award presentation.

I've met you a few times haven't I! Didn't you get your SMZ Z32 from FL? I meet so many people on my trips! You were at Tulsa and then also Znationals the year before last?

That sounds like an amazing offer to be honest! I just don't have the funds to purchase the flight. I'm moving house in 2 weeks time. I'm all but broke. I overspent last year, my income tax has gone up. etc etc. Just having a shitty year money wise.

[funkysi]

I'm happy to hang out...take my cell #. When in the UK, just dial 07825274514 or if you're in the US, +447825274514

Bobby, I personally don't have a problem with it, just not sure we could get anything more than a thanks for coming. There were a couple NSX's the last couple years, I think that's what Shulte had and one other guy that has come the last 2 years drove an NSX.

I'll pass this on to Pickle.

[daddy Z]

I've met you a few times haven't I! Didn't you get your SMZ Z32 from FL? I meet so many people on my trips! You were at Tulsa and then also Znationals the year before last?.

Yep, that would be me ..... we have broke bread together. I will have my son give you a call tomorrow. His name is Randy (I know I know) his sister is Fanny ( I know I know).

Who know's you may have something I need to buy while I am in the UK. The wife always likes jewelery.

[TnkrsToyCo]

He should have a paypal account.

Also the S2000's are welcome to come, if they want a trophy tell them to bring their own. They are also welcome to stay at the hotel. Not sure they can get our rate.

[daddy Z]

I'll pass it along to them ...... I know those that live close will be happy just to hang with us. I am getting a S2000 in May and will bring it out to the Z Fest. The SMZ is just too temperamental to drive out there. If I bring it, I'll have to trailer the little Be-itch

He should have a paypal account.

[TnkrsToyCo]

There will be only 158 rooms available at the hotel, so I would suggest they might stay at another hotel if they come. Building # 2 will not be available for us during the BZF, it will be undergoing work and remodeling.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Got a cute little blonde lined up, you'll just have to get rid of the boyfriend. She likes tequila too.


And called my cousins X with the 350 vert her and her friend are coming up Friday. They'll both be available.

[adamvann3]

Finalized truck and trailer tonight. The shiro will make it down this year.

Should be there no later than weds

[iteched]

I won't be able to go...summer is our busiest time of year at work...24/7 summer camp...

Ya'll have fun and take pictures!

[TnkrsToyCo]

"PLEASE READ: I’ve heard from SEVERAL fellow meeting planners across every industry that there is a big scam going on these days. They particularly like to focus on social groups who use the Who/Where info and then they find phone numbers and call the attendees and say “Hey, I’m from *** hotel and we need to verify your credit card info. for the BZF” NEVER, EVER give out their CC information over the phone."

"Branson Z Fest To be 100% clear: WE HAVE HAD NO REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE IN OUR GROUP. We just thought it would be a good general reminder for everyone. Its ALWAYS best to be safe when dealing with credit card information."

[adamvann3]

Whens t-shirt cut off date for registration? I want to make sure I can procrastinate to the fullest

[daxnizmo]

***. So the other night I brought up "Z car money" at dinner. I need some adjustable rear suspension parts to get a proper alignment and save my new set of tires. So I figured that in itself killed my chances of going to BZF this year. I tell Kasie that I need at least $300 for the trip and the same for parts. She doesn't say much (surprisingly) and then i tell her that if it came down to having to pick parts or trip, I'd pick parts. She then looks at me and shakes her head and has a strange look on her face.

I ask what the deal is and she won't say. I bug her and bug her and then she finally gives in. Turns out her boss will be out of town the last week in May which means BZF is possible. She tells me she even went to the BFZ site, looked around and was going to book everything and then surprise me when the time came. I'd get to go by myself in the Z!!!! BUUUUUT, since my dumbass said I'd rather have parts instead of the trip, she got to thinking twice and agrees I can't have both. So it looks like I really stuck my foot in my mouth and blew my surprise chance at BZF. :chair:

[1990 FairladyZ]

^
....boy she owns you body and soul.... :smack:

[daxnizmo]

It's like having my cake and eating it too, basically. I wish we could afford for me to get parts and then turn around and go to BZF. I dunno. :/

[1990 FairladyZ]

^
You just need rear control arms, right?

[daxnizmo]

I guess so, not too keen on suspension stuff yet. RUCA's would definately get rid of the -5* and -3* of rear chamber. I'm assuming they can get the toe in spec with stock components, right? The 2" drop only affects the chamber right?

[1990 FairladyZ]

^
Ahh, you're in luck then. I have a set of new rear upper control arms I'll send you at no cost. Toe is factory adjustable. The only setting that isn't adjustable in the rear is caster, and that's set with aftermarket traction rods, and nothing you even need to worry about, its nothing that ever would need adjusting on your car, leave the stock ones in place. I'll get the RUCA's out with my cable cover. You WILL be at BZF this year, no more excuses!

[daxnizmo]

Wow! Thanks man! This saves my ass BIG time!

GAME ON!!!

[Twindragon]

LOL^

Awesome! I expect pics from you dax.

Wisconsin guys, where do you go through IL? I was thinking if I can't get anyone in IA to make the drive with me I can meet up with you guys.

Planning on making it to Branson, just need to get the new hood/nose panel painted and put everything back together. Too depressed I didn't make it last year, have to this year!

[Dan84300ZX]

Some guys on chicagoz.com are hooking up and driving together. You might look for the thread over there.

Also, there's place on www.bransonzfest.com to organize a caravan. You might want to post there.

LOL, I'll take it! I really don't want to snooze in the Z despite it being a limo. Although, depending on how much "adult soda water" I have, I may find the pavement cozy! :D

[rockchucker]

Well I am not giving up my Bed but there will be 2 of them so you and Simon can sleep together? Just don't wake me up in the middle of the night fighting about your common stinkhorns...

Come to the farm with Abe on Tuesday if the sausage massager will let you off the leash that long.... ;)

[supermario680]

sheit... I might need a cot too... planning on moving soon, gonna drain the funds :-/

[Dizmone]

After a 2 year hiatus, I'm happy to say I've registered and booked a room!

The wife and I plan to leave on Wednesday afternoon to hopefully check in before sundown that evening. So far, Kevin (lil_blueZ) is the only addition to our caravan departing from Kansas City, MO

The 2+2, won't be making her return though. Instead, I will be adding to the Slicktop attendence.

Can't wait!

[TnkrsToyCo]

Damn boys looks like Simon is going to be driving my Motorhome to Branson so you will have a place to sleep. Or get a sleeping bag.

[I have no car]

I enjoy road trips. I might show up to goof around and let you guys make fun of my grocery-getter.

Well it doesn't look like I'll be making Branson in my Z this year. I just found coolant in one of the spark plug tubes, cracked head I guess. I'll have to ride with up with someone.

[TnkrsToyCo]

^^ if you ride a bicycle air up the tires first

[payne411]

If all goes as planned, I'll be driving up in mah TT. If not, I'll be riding in my friend's 87 NA2T. Either way it'll be fun. I'm looking forward to it.

[JSD-ZX]

^^ if you ride a bicycle air up the tires first

Ha, speaking of air. This setback has let the air of me. Time for a rebuild anyway, I don't think my Z has ever truly driving right.

[1990 FairladyZ]

Just as long as you make it....all that matters.

[daxnizmo]

Finally got Kasie to stop trippin' so I'm coming up Friday.

[rockchucker]

Haha! ^

So Jamal are you driving the 370?

[I have no car]

My cousin and I were talking about this tonight. I think we might be able to make the trip down for Friday night through sometime on Sunday. We're hashing out the details, but I totally want to make the trip.

[1990 FairladyZ]

So Jamal are you driving the 370?
He crashed it.

[Clay705]

I'm Booked. Be there sometime Wednesday.

Woohoo - Registered for the first Branson Z Fest!
Booking the room today!

[DarkZide]

I still can't believe I'm going! My first BZF!!!! :rockon:

[jschrauwen]

Love to go to, but have to wait to see if my medical condition subsides enough.

[daxnizmo]

So I'm coming up Friday and it's basically straight up North, thru Little Rock. I'd probably get into or at least close to LR around 11am-noon. Anyone else leaving Friday in or around LR so I could maybe join up with? A 7 hour would be a lot better if it was with a few other Z owners. :D

[MGH]

I'm going thru Little Rock but it will be Monday and around 11:30 AM.

[daxnizmo]

I'm going thru Little Rock but it will be Monday and around 11:30 AM.

Well that doesn't help me! :rolleyes:

[TnkrsToyCo]

Well that doesn't help me! :rolleyes:

Would if you came up on Monday.

[yesiownanmgb]

Yeah sorry Dack. I'm leaving Memorial Day directly from work, hitting LR about midnight. I'll have Tuesday to kill waiting for my business partner to fly in to North Little Rock from Portland, then drive the rest of the way to Branson Tuesday night.

Im driving the Z out this year... just need to meet up with the CA guys somewhere:rock:

Call in sick.

[yesiownanmgb]

Who is riding shotgun?

I am picking up my business partner in Little Rock on tuesday the 31st, then driving up the rest of the way that evening.

I still have a few more things to get though.

Right now I have -

10x10 canopy tent
3 tables (to make one big 9' table)
3 of those camping chairs
4 rubbermaid totes of stuff like shirts and other products we carry for display.
table skirting
luggage (not packed yet)
4'x10' banner
other misc. crap. LOL

Had to upgrade from car to SUV. :-\

Sorry about that ..... I've put on a little weight, haven't had a hair cut in months and ate some bad food when I was out with the Bride's Maids. At least it came out that end and not the rear.

[daddy Z]

Well it doesn't look like I'll be making Branson in my Z this year. I just found coolant in one of the spark plug tubes, cracked head I guess. I'll have to ride with up with someone.

Never fear ........ Daddy Z is here. I will not let my boy down again. You will be ridding in style ...... I say style lol

[Spawn]

Well Bobby I see you and Jamal on Wed when you guys come in.

[canyoncarver]

I've finally acknowledged the fact that I'm not going to make it to Branson this year. Main reason being the racing deal that I have going. You guys better post lots of pics and vids for me. :)

[MGH]

I also have to bail, not by choice. Managment at my job has canceled all vacation time for a couple of months...this really sucks AZZ.

There's next year.

Keith , you and Mike dislike Dack this much? Going to miss you both! I know damn well how work can get changed at the last minute. At least I get to go home for three days before BZF.

[Spawn]

Yeah, were going to miss you guys. We will have a few drinks for you.

[daxnizmo]

Man that sux you guys can't make it! I was really looking forward to meeting you both. :(

[canyoncarver]

Dack, I went for 4 years expecting to meet you.




LOL :)

You'll have a good time, and come back next year as a vet.

[MGH]

Man that sux you guys can't make it! I was really looking forward to meeting you both. :(I too was looking forward to meeting you, we'll have to do it next year or if there is a meet in LA. I might can make that. However your first BZF, you'll be hooked and be back the next year, I promise.

Just hang out with Chris, Steve, Cory,Tim square (that's both Tim's), and Simon and you'll be doing great.

[jschrauwen]

This time around there's got to be quality mug shots of Chris. No pixelated, blurred or faded ones either. :-p

I'm too enigmatic for that.....Im faster at escaping than the quickest shutter speed on the best SLR camera! :D On the rare occasion someone sneaks one, they know the consequences for posting it! ;) I have to wonder about last year though....someone took pics of my hind quarters.... I wish I knew who it was, so I could avoid him this year.

I wish I'd gotten a pic of you, Pete, and myself when I was at Pete's! At least i got a shot with Steve! :D This time next Saturday we'll be drinking a beer or twelve together! Can. Not. Wait. :rockon:

[Farm_Z32]

im not gonna be able to make it either. i have to much stuff to do and not enough funds to do it.

[Spawn]

looks like I will be pushed back until late Thursday or early Friday.

[b15sent]

I'm almost liable not to show up now...

[onyxblue]

Washed and waxed - Ready for the trip to BZF

Buuuulllll shit you'd best be there.


Tim Spawn, don't forget my Kamanari.

You cheese out, I'll see to it that your dentist would be the only person that could identify your body! :uzi: :noob:

[TnkrsToyCo]

Dentist my ass, it'll take DNA to id him. And That's only if they find the body parts.

I have several pictures of you from various years. And video of a chain tying ceremony. ;)

But I'm holding them for when I get in trouble.

And I'm not going to make it now after all. Apparently my dentist has chosen me to make the down payment on his new Porsche. Guess that's what I get for not going the last 5 years... :sad:

[b15sent]

Don't worry guys... I'm registered and even though we're gonna be short I'm still super stoked to go.

[jschrauwen]

Dentist my ass, it'll take DNA to id him. And That's only if they find the body parts.Not many parts left after a good ole "Greavous" BBQ. :D



*EDIT*
I just noticed the Poll:


BZF sucks, I'm going to Zdays to flirt with jschrauen .............. 7 .............13.73%LOL, too funny. Thanks guys ........ I think.

[daxnizmo]

Seriously!?!?!?! What the hell!!! "NOSHOWniZmo" FINALLY gets the moons and stars to align to go and everyone is backing out! WEAK SAUCE. :(

:lame:

[TnkrsToyCo]

Yeah well usin hillbillies have our own methods of disposal.

[1990 FairladyZ]

^
Slop 'em to the hogs, they eat everything.....bones and all.... I've also heard slag pits of waste cooking oil works well....dissolves everything into a slimy unrecognizable yellow stain.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Too bad we just finished burying all those waste oil pits. But.............

[daxnizmo]

So far it's Mike, Corey, Paul, and Keith not coming...?

[jschrauwen]

*Corrected*So far it's Mike, Corey, Paul, John and Keith not coming...?

[TnkrsToyCo]

Damn it John, you too??

[jschrauwen]

This was my year to go even though funds would have been extremely tight. But driving that far with one good eye just wouldn't be much fun. Having to wear sunglasses indoors is bad enough.

[b15sent]

Everybody better come to BZF 12 because Chris is gonna unveil something! :) Everybody already knows anyway but you're gonna wanna see it!

[daxnizmo]

Uh yeh, and you too John! :(

[Spawn]

Tim Spawn, don't forget my Kamanari.

I know I was telling Chris that.

[Andy]

Well , the Brit is on the ground looking for a Sushi Bar and a Mexican Resturant....good luck Steve.

[TnkrsToyCo]

His flight is still scheduled to leave ORD @ 3:35pm. Should be here @ 5:17pm.

[rockchucker]

.....AND.....I am officially out too. Sus got put on bed rest from the Doc. The Twins need some rest because she has been being too active lately. Everything is OK with them but they need Baby Carrier to chill out a touch.

I hope all who attend have as much fun as I have for the last 2 years. I will be making it next year as a promise from the Baby Carrier.

Andy...Z32 First Place is yours. It was going to be a battle this year too...Damn. Unless somebody wants to place an inflatable Blue Z in place of mine for me? =)

I will still be there in spirit and have my own little Z fest working in the shop on Blue.

Simon, Dack...I will call the Hotel and tell them I am paying for my room but one of you will have to give your Credit Card for a safety deposit more than likely when you check in.

Tim...I don't think Dack is going to be staying in the Hotel for all of the time so if you don't have a room yet then stay with Simon if you want. Room 227 is reserved for Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.

Steve...If you could grab my goody bag and Name Tag and send it to me I will send you a big FAT Cigar! Or two! =)


Chris...Drink at LEAST a Bottle of SoCo and throw in $100 to the Raffle for me. Maybe I can still piss people off and not even be there!!! I will ship your goodies out or if Lucian still goes I can send them with him.

Have fun Boys.

=(

-Sad Panda

[TnkrsToyCo]

Will do Cory, I have your blue vert model in a box I was taking to the farm. Will pull it out and send with other stuff.

[rockchucker]

Thanks Dude. Oh yeah I forgot about the Vert Model! If I still need to buy a T-shirt then just get one for me and I will send you some cash with the Cigars. I signed up for a Medium and I think it is paid for but not too sure. If somebody brings a Z and doesn't have a paid registration they can use mine too. They just don't get the goodies!

[TnkrsToyCo]

Damn the weather is delaying everything in Chicago. Simon may be camping at the terminal tonight or he says he'll get a car to come on down, that's 10+ hours.

[Spawn]

He would be better off to wait until tomarrow.

[TnkrsToyCo]

His flight is cancelled. the 6:01 flight is overbooked and probably be cancelled. Tail of the storm is almost through Chicago right now.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Got him on a new flight, different airlines. Leaves Shitcago @ 6:43pm and gets to XNA @ 8:11pm.

I'll have wifey drive me to get his ass, it's nearly beer:thirty right now for me.

[Andy]

He just got a new seat , leaving in :15 minutes. got a standby seat. LOL

[TnkrsToyCo]

They've changed him again, damn circus. He may be getting on AA3975 in 45-? minutes or so.

[TnkrsToyCo]

http://www.flightstats.com/go/FlightTracker/flightTracker.do

[TnkrsToyCo]

May be boarding @ 4:00pm

[TnkrsToyCo]

Ytry 5:53pm delayed, 3975 was cancelled and now he's maybe going to be on 3710

[daxnizmo]

Corey I appreciate this so much for the room, I owe you!

Tim, I'm only needing the room for Friday nite. So you're more than welcome to use it Thrusday and Saturday (if you want the bed). You can grab a cot Friday nite if you like as well.

Simon, hope you find a plane to hop! At least you're already in the states! :D

Also, if nobody claims Blue's spot in the show, the Gold Digger can donate her services.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Simon will stay with me for a night or 2, then move his ass to Cory's room. Have some friends coming Friday at least Dennis "overdose" will spend Friday/Saturday nights,some of ya'll met him last year. Came up on his Harley.

That's if we ever get the bloody wanker Brit's ass here.

[daxnizmo]

I'm flexible. Beggers can't be choosey!

[rockchucker]

You got it Dack. If you win I get the trophy! J/K


Lucian just stopped by to pick up some packages. 1 big box with 2 boxes for Chris in it and one for you Steve.

[daxnizmo]

Sweet! Now I gotta get the Z looking REALLY purdy!




Has anyone seen my rattle can paint??? ;)

[TnkrsToyCo]

Lucian can bring your stuff back

[TnkrsToyCo]

[b15sent]

In the a.m. I've gotta go pick up Jesse, get my car aligned, and be back from Des Moines by 1 for a funeral... Gonna be a long shitty day.

[Andy]

^^^^You and Simon gonna make it? Man , you want to talk about one pissed off Brit! I think even if he was offered a job and to relocate to Shitcago he would turn it down.

[TnkrsToyCo]

Yeah that plane will leave at some point as soon as they get a crew. delayed again to 9:15

[TnkrsToyCo]

PLANE IS OFFICIALLY LOADING

Now we'll see how long they sit on the tarmac.

[daxnizmo]

I bet he's sick of Chicago!

[Spawn]

I hate flying out of Chicago. I avoid it like the plague. So Simon will make it in tomorrow.

[TnkrsToyCo]

At least he's on the plane.

[TnkrsToyCo]

This your Captain speaking have a nice flight,
Speed: 502 mph
Altitude: 32,500 feet
Bearing: 228
Distance right now To XNA: 388 miles

We're heading for the airport to get the cranky Brit.

[TnkrsToyCo]

And we're back at home.

[jschrauwen]

Bad WX at Chicago or at the destination that was slowing things down?

[daddy Z]

He got exactly what he desired !?!

I wanted him to fly into Dallas, he could have stayed with me, and then got to drive my new S2000 up to the storm center if he wanted.

BUT NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I don't feel a bit sorry for him, anyway England is not all that great any-who. Way too many cameras my friend. Big Brother is always watching and you pay out the nose to keep the immigrates happy doing nothing.

Happy to be an American Citizen on this most important day of the year. Thank me and the rest of my fellow VETS for keeping your (*****) safe.

Bobby, I also told him that it would be better to fly into DFW.

Don't get wrong I really like Simon. I visited with Simon in England, and we didn't call him S3 for nothing.
