An Impala would fit in just fine! I don't even own a Bonneville anymore, neither does a few members that will be here. Heck, two years ago, two certain members which I won't name (ahem.. petraman and gonneville ) showed up in a Honda Element!

and i've attended (Ontario) meets in a clapped out 1991 Honda Civic hatch, and once with a Nissan Altima. Honestly, the car you come in isn't going to matter!

So many people refer to it as a "Bonneville Meet" (I myself have a few times....)

i know that's not at all what it is, and i haven't even been to it. It's simply just a get together to maybe meet new people, and just have a good time!
It's been a very long time, but, I am still around!

LOL, I remember one SEBF where there were 2 Bonnes out of 10-12 cars there. It was still a riot.

I'm still on the fence whether I can go. It depends on what happens at work. I think my Buick would be up for some drags if I could make it out there...

Quick question, but ** IF ** (big if at the moment) I order the Intense 3.60" pulley and tensioner, and bring them with me, will there be anyone willing to provide the tool/knowledge/help to get it installed?

I haven't done any performance mods to the Bonneville in 2 years, and I figured this would be a great chance to add something new, and learn something new in the process from other members who have done this before.

I can't speak for others (someone may have experience with a pully) however meets are tippicaly not the best time to be doing mods. you don't wanna be to far from home if something goes wrong from the install of the mod.

It's not about the Bonnevilles, it's the people. The Bonneville community is the best!

In other news Frosty may not be able to make it... :(

Just FYI, I'm not sure if I fully committed, but I was just bumped up to full time again so I'll officially be able to afford the trip! I might not be there for the whole thing, but I'll try to get the other days off!!! :mrgreen:

Well it looks like I'm on a Pea Combine again this summer, and that season is going to start right around this time, so I'm looking at about a 5% chance of making it. We'll see I guess...

I might not be able to make it due to a trip to the relatives in Milwaukee with the wifey starting near the 4th of July. Too much in gas/time/money right before taking the Buick 1600 miles round-trip to Wisconsin.

Well, I officially have my time off scheduled. But, no surprise, the Bonneville is starting to act up again - I think I'm starting to lose a couple window regulators. So, I've got the car parked right now until I can figure out its issues, and get it working properly before the meet. I'll update if any major happens that might prevent me from traveling.

So neither Frost or Nick will be able to come this year. But another friend of mine, Snow will likely take their place. lol

So it's Me, Brennan, Briana & Snow confirmed.
And both the '93 and the '01 will make the trek!
