See the first post.

How did I miss that?

...because Asian

LOL thanks Mr. Lee

Car is not even close to being ready but the days have already been booked off

I'm banking a ton of vacation days working over seas right now. I'd like to go watch. My talon would never make it (150km range ha).

Rent a trailer and haul it with the Jeep

I also plan to attend, booked days off already too.

worst case, car pool with me because so far, I'm ridding solo. GF doesn't want go and my other buddies think I'm crazy to go.

Slightly off topic, but I still have some videos here from last year's shootout.

I have four set aside for people who still haven't arranged to get theirs, plus SIX more still available...

haul its 1000km to go break it, ish I'll have to think about that. I'd most likely drag my gf down as well. I don't know how well a DSM seats 3. You could always get in with me in my jeep though.

nono, I'd be renting or buying a flatbed trailer to haul with my MDX. it's a 7 passenger

Perfect haha, can that thing tow a car???

5,000lbs ya

Already have the hitch, just need a means to float the car, pack a sh!t ton of tools in the MDX. I MAY want to change my rear struts on the MDX before I do this venture and front rotors and pads.

I think you're crazy, a trailer brake controller wouldn't be a bad idea either. Now that I looked up the specs the MDX isn't far off from my jeep in weight/towing. You'll just be turning 4000rpm the whole trip while I could tow it in 5th at 1800rpm.

If you need a hand getting anything ready let me know.

I would double chech that. Last I cheched it was 3500lbs. Also depending on how many passangers and cargo.

towing package brotha

Yeah! but even a boat trailler can only be 4500lbs. That is not the tranny you want overwork.

A towing package includes a tranny cooler on the mdx. This is all info from our service advisors. Don't tell me they're wrong.

Yes I have installed many towing packages. I am not saying your advisors are wrong, but that info does not jive with the owners manual. Check page 187. Also if you haven't put a rad in that thing yet, I would for cost it is well worth it before the cooler blows out while your are towing.

New last year, along with a reman tranny previous owner expense of course.

Good score! That like a 4 grand savings. Plus labour of course.

Well keep in mind. My car hauler weighs 2000lbs. Its a bit heavy for the avarage trailer. My talon weighs what 3200 lbs. Thats over the 5000 mark. and they say keep it lower then the rating. My Envoy 4.2l inline six...is rated for 7000 lbs towing and has daul piston front brakes and a electric brake controller for the trailer. I was at my limit.. my tranny was working hard. Jamie has a bigger v8 motor in he was having no problems.

I had the uhaul carrier and my 1g awd on it and it was not bad for towing but without the electric brakes it was really heavy to stop.

When i had my own car hauler with electric brakes i could put the full 5000lbs on it and stop as if it was not there.

what were you hauling with tyler?

F150 with Tow/Heavy Service package.

Holidays booked!

hey what do you convoy guys think about leaving at like 2am? wed get there around 10am when the plantation was ready. Give us more time to enjoy it.

Leaving a little earlyer could definately be a good idea.

if I take the truck and trailer.. I may go early regardless.. But If I drive the car(s) Then Ill convoy when ever.

I dunno if I'm going to rock the Plantation this year. I'm thinking Motel 6 in Sandusky

Would be nice to know where any other Canadians attending are staying, wouldn't mind staying where everyone else is. I was staying at a nice place closer to Cleveland for a couple years when no-one else was going, but they have REALLY upped their rates...

I missed this earlier, but you can bet your ass I'll be dropping you a line when the time comes

Oh, and I agree with Ziggy, seeing as this will be my 1st time going, I'd like to bunk up with you folks

The best part was that we all were together. And the plantation is just freaking cool! And for the bugs. We didnt find any.

I tore my room apart at the plantation last year just to be sure, and not one bug. I think I'll end up back there again, it was good times (what I remember anyway)

My plan is to go back to the Plantation BUT would consider somewhere in Sandusky. Key word here; consider.

Maybe we should meet at my place to discuss when I get back. I would provide the refreshments!!!

I liked the plantation.. cause we had room for the trailers and we could work on the cars... plus hang out in the pool or the beach.

Plantation rocks that is a fact.

Glad to hear that you guys enjoyed the BugFree environment. Slurp!!!

Ghislain

I just received an email from the Plantation offering $20 off a 2 night stay if booked by March 1st.

I just got the same email, LOL. Well guys, can we decide right now? Are we all staying at the Plantation again? Tomorrow is my last opportunity to book before March 1st.

I believe yes.

Can I get in on this too? Or is this "senior member's only"

Aaaaaaaaaaah! I have 1 day to figure out if I can even go!?

Shiznit.
