I didnt see any willowbrook lanes, just AMF bowling off 249. Copperfield is not far from that place either. I figured a little drive is better than having a place near downtown.

Nope, haven't bought the lens yet, but I'm getting the cover from KoolKevin. I may not even bother replacing the lens, but I'm a little worried about getting water in the housing when I wash the car...

Adam, what are the times so far??

I think the official meet place should be copperfield lanes. I'm thinking meet up around noonish start the bowling around 2PM that way people have time to get off work. I'm thinking it might last maybe until 6 whatever time people want to hang out until. If ya'll want to move it along to a place for dinner thats cool too.


At Noon I was thinking we would meet at like a spray and wash place to clean the cars up. Since most people clean their cars the morning of anyway. And would be a great oppurtunity for pics and then once we're all clean and everyone is at the bowling alley take a group shot.

Don't know if this will help or not, but I did a search with that address on Google Earth, took some screen shots and it seems to be one of those drive through washes. Still would like for a local to confirm this.

If you can't see try hitting Ctrl and scroll up or down to increase or decrease the image size.

There might be a dinner but is anyone else planning on anything afterwards?

perhaps i missed your build thread. What do you have? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be the most decked out one there. But we keep the cars together and we've never had a problem in the past

So you can't come out that day? I desperately need to either wash my car and clay it, or get a detail. I'll look at my finances and let you know.

So Chris was hooking up my ambient lights and something happened and now they won't light up any more. He tried changing the fuse - and I guess that didn't work. He couldn't have burned the LEDs out could he?
