View Full Version : Roll call for Manitoba
from_the_edge 09-17-2004, 07:49 AM Well I just read another thread that shows someone else from Manitoba
And last year we all had trouble starting a Manitoba club. It seems to me that more and more people are popping up. So this tread is to do a head count and maybe some input on doing our own club.
Let me know what you all think.

Gee_Emm 09-18-2004, 09:19 PM :p
I second the meeting up idea.
from_the_edge 09-19-2004, 11:07 AM I dont know about you guys but meeting up with all of you would be real good for me.
The fact that my truck is still only about 1/3 done I think talking to all of you who have or are at the same point in building there trucks would be great to share secrets and ideas. Does and donts about the build . Basiclly just to shoot the s*#t.
So any ideas bout a meeting or maybe even a club. I know it was tried before but lets give it one more try.

passthebuck 09-19-2004, 01:59 PM I'm down with hookin up. Mabe shootin the poop & a b**r? One on my 67's is insured so I can arrive in style. Is the show at the Pony still running? We could mabe hook up therein the parkin lot... Or mabe again at the Assinaboine duck pond.. Or where? As for a Klub, I'm cool with something like that. Like say we meet every last sunday of the month for a b**r at like applebees or something. I dunno. IF we get nothing else going, at least we can see each others faces, say hi & get to know each other well enough to be able to phone each other for parts or help or something like that. It may be tough for the northern cats to make it though...
I'm in St. James....count me in.
Randy70C-10 09-19-2004, 07:50 PM I've met a couple, does that count? (the guy was really cool but the girl was a little on the crazy side) :crazy: :D
from_the_edge 09-21-2004, 04:09 AM Well how about this weekend coming up
Anyone have an idea where
The pony or something like that? I was there this week but not alot of action. I did see Gee Emm's truck there but I dont think I would know him to run into him.

Peregrine 09-21-2004, 04:15 AM I'll be going to Ste. Rose du LAc near Dauphin in a few months. I'm for Kentucky though, so am I disqualified? :D
jasonrog 09-21-2004, 07:43 AM I am in St. James as well

oldsub86 09-21-2004, 05:17 PM OK guys - we are running out of time to decide this thing.
Is it going to be Pony Corral on Sunday night? That works for me as I usually go over to have a look anyway.
It is also their windup so they will have a live band etc.
I suggest we park at the back lot behind the CIBC rather than try to take over the usual spots in front. My truck is not exactly pretty at this stage in its life.
How about shooting for about 7:00 PM?
Randy
passthebuck 09-21-2004, 05:32 PM sounds cool to me oldsub86, I'll know 100% sure thursday night 'cause that when my next hockey schedule comes out.
Gee_Emm 09-21-2004, 06:21 PM I will be there
from_the_edge 09-22-2004, 04:29 AM I'm in, But no truck with me still a big mess of parts
I can bring pix. :canada:
jasonrog 09-22-2004, 02:17 PM I will not be able to come as I work evenings Sunday through Thursday.
Jason
72ShortboxManitoba 09-22-2004, 10:07 PM I will be there, looking forward to meeting you all.
passthebuck 09-24-2004, 05:19 AM i'll be there too - as long as she aint rainin! :whine:
oldsub86 09-24-2004, 10:59 PM Moving this back up to the top.
Also, unfortunately, if I get there it will be late. I forgot that we accepted an invitation for dinner on Sunday off at the other end of town.
Hope to make it in time to meet some of you.
Gee_Emm 09-28-2004, 09:31 AM Pretty sad turn out, only 4 of us, where were the rest of you hosers?
I ended up getting pulled home half of the way with a tow rope, something ignition wise crapped out, it has been acting up all year and finally went.
I wished I brought a camera, could of taken some pics of 72shortbox's truck, kinda looks like the hotwheels truck, nice!
Thread was moved and never noticed..anyway the Manitoba Street Rod Association had a parking lot full of cards and trucks at the income tax building parking lot near Kildonan Place shopping Mall yesterday. There was a decent 72 Cheyenne there, BB AC, tach, Tilt, aux battery.... didnt see any owner around though so never met owner.
Was a nice show as far as I'm concerened and free admission with a change donation welcome... I donated, went towards Childerens Hospital Fund.
If owners a member here PM me.
oldsub86 09-28-2004, 02:47 PM I didn't get there until close to 9:00 PM. Lots of cars out for the windup but I didn't see any 67-72 trucks gathered. Too late I guess. Sorry I missed you all.
Lets try again - next weekend or an evening this week?
Just don't make it the Thanksgiving weekend as I have to go out and close up the cottage.
Randy
Gee_Emm 09-28-2004, 06:24 PM We probably just missed you then, we left around 9
JHickson6 10-02-2004, 07:27 PM OH this is the thread you were talking about Greg, woops. Well I'll be present at the next meeting. Why don't we all make a list of the extra parts we have or want to bring to the next meeting. Just an idea.
JHickson6 10-06-2004, 11:13 PM what did i say something wrong, lol. Well should we schedule another meeting? I'm for one as i like i said i'm looking for a good trailing arm still. :(
Ichevyluvr 10-07-2004, 01:09 AM I am close to Winnipeg. In Stony Mountain.

Gee_Emm 10-09-2004, 07:47 PM I made a forum for us so posts on this board wont get missed.
