I need to attend a FEMA training in South Barrington IL. on April 9th. I plan on driving into the area on the 8th. It's 8 hrs from here so I want to get closer to Barrington.
Anyone want to get together and do some bench racing, tell some lies or swap some stories?
I'm not sure where I'm staying yet. Just need to be within driving distance in the am to make it to the training in the am.

Hi Rick.
My home is in Bartlett and my shop is in South Elgin. Neither is all that far. Love to get together for a beer. I know a good place real close. Send me a PM and we can exchange details.

I need to make a reservation someplace. Any suggestions? Cheap works. Someplace central to you guys. Chris, Tell her you were abducted by Aliens..
Posted by: sk8kat1 Apr 5 2007, 02:49 PM
well chris and I are out about 1 hour from barrington .. so central is not real good for your meeting ...
where in s. barrington is your meeting?I used to live out that way so I might be able to pick something out ... I believe there are a few hotels right across from that mill rose restruant that mark was suggesting . it is very close to I -90 for your drive too .

It is very close to the restaurant I was suggesting. Not sure where your meeting is but I think that is just up the road. Google Hoffman Estates IL for other hotel locations or call me. You will find a lot more choices using Hoffman Estates instead of South Barrington. This is all on that border between the two towns. Giv me a call when you have a better idea when you will arrive. We can plan from there.

Thanks for the link. I'll get booked in.
Hey, After speaking with Mark in the cell we realized Sunday is Easter. If a meeting doesn't work out no big deal. We'll do it another time. Summer's coming.
If you still want to meet I hope to be in the area by like 6:00 pm. It's a 7-8 hr drive from here according to map quest. I'll pm you all my cell.

Mark and I had a great time tonight. Great dinner, Thanks Mark! Then we went to his shop. He has the 914 bug real bad! What an awesome shop and tools.
Mark, If you want to check out some of the things we discussed tonight click on the alien progress thread at the bottom of this post.
I'm looking forward to coming down here again!

Hi Rick
It was a lot fun last night. It is always good to be around other 914 fans.
I had a chance to look over the link you sent me. Wow what a cool car. Love the seats. I hope I get a chance to have a ride in it sometime.
I hope you have a safe return.
