Dragon 2005 Wishlist

How about a Rattle-Fix Workshop? Anyone with the how-to, felt tape and torx screwdriver could lead it. I've been afraid to take apart my doors so I need some direction and leadership. :smile:

Anyone with a laptop (and cable) want to help set people up with MTH Chiptuning? Would this be feasible? Franz could maybe offer a group buy discount.

Dig it, Greg: anyone making a workshop suggestion for the Dragon, gets to head it up!

But seriously, gather some folks and plan a Tinker-Time Get-Together! Folks could share their experiences.

Greatbear did the exhaust shoot-out technical stuff. Perhaps he'll know about the MTH Chiptuning, as well. Ryephile will be there, and I KNOW he's up on all that technical stuff.

(I'm co-organizing the Welcome Dinner on 5/5/05, so I'm doing my share!)

i'm sure you can find a place to stay
there are lots of places in the area (even camping)
i saw a bunch of motels in Marysville which isn't too far away
or maybe someone is looking to make a split (roommate)...make a post asking

Get a room in the Lodge at Fontana Village. As far as I know they still have some left and that's where all the non-driving action is going to be held at.

"Non Driving Action"?????

Sign me up!

On a more serious note, I would like to wish for brakes that are still functioning properly when midnight comes around!

I wish for 3 things:
  • A MINI
  • The time off from FedEx to go on the trip
  • and the cash to do the trip!

Ones that haven't been heated up so much that they glow bright red and can be smelled from a mile away?

Will there be a show & shine?

Would be interesting to see all the cars in one spot and talk to the owners about some of the mods.

Does not have to be that long or does not need to have a contest/awards.
I was thinking about a 3 hour parking lot chat :D

Actually, I was thinking Saturday afternoon ---we all meet on the ballfield and chat and show off--- Can we say 3ish??? Give us a few hours before the Farewell dinner?

The Dam is not going to be hours long --- Plus getting ready to go on the parade. But not that that is going to stop a sole from chatting and meet n greetin'

Hugs,
PB
