[michcougar]

i wont be able to make it. i work till 7am that day.

[MattyD879]

alrighty thanks for letting me know..took you off the list.

[RedBaron1]

You guys have fun with that....too far for me.

I'll see if anyone wants to hang Downstate with me sometime later on in the summer....some time before All Ford Nationals.

[VGraphics]

when is all ford? Id like to hit that if possible. Thanks.

[MattyD879]

Carlisle All-Ford is June 1-3..its gonna be a sick show, thinking about making the trip with my Cougar.



ps. - Sorry everyone...I wrote the wrong date for the meet...its acutally Saturday May 19th...not the 20th like i posted before..I made the changes and sorry for the mix up...i know i know, I'm an idiot lol

[RedBaron1]

Thanks for answering that one for me Matty....All Fords is June 1-3 and it truly will be an awesome show this year. Every year we try to increase the participation of the 99-02 cougars but it hardly ever happens.

I always wish I wasnt the only one from Empire there, but that hardly ever happens either. But we definitely try to put NECO on the radar while we're down there because the first couple years we got ripped by the "old school" cougar owners who would say "they're cars aren't really cougars" and sh!t like that. Oh, and we most always get crappy spots on the fields because of low pre-registration numbers, so.....if you even think you might wanna come lemme know through PM and I'll make thread for it.

/end hi-jack and resume normal thread activities :biggrin:

[Zman]

Curtis don't be stealing people away from Can-Am which is held the same weekend this year. Nobody around here really mentioned that they were going to All-fords until after we set the date and then some Motor City people said they planned on going to Carlisle. Still, I'm sure we could get about a dozen cougars showing up, along with all those people who no longer have Cougars like Carl and Mike. Here's the thread: Can-Am 2007 (http://www.newcougar.org/forums/showthread.php?t=106343)

Anyways, I'll see about trying to make the May 19th meet. It's the least I could do since I'll be missing Cougarfest for the second year in a row now.

[MattyD879]

Just a quick update...if anyone from Empire sees this and is deffinately coming to the met in May post and let me know for sure.I'm just curious to see. I want to know if this date is good for everyone or if another would be beter. It's greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

[VGraphics]

Ill make it. with or without the coug.

[MattyD879]

Sweet thanks dude !

[carajo]

Perhaps one of the mods should sticky this? Hint, hint, nudge, nudge... Curtis? Ken? Nick? Sam? Well, Curtis or Ken?

[papi_chulo]

-MattD

[MattyD879]

Just a quick BUMP and update for the show....

-Comando has a friend who will be at the meet and is a professional photographer and will take some snaps of our cars all together or if anyone wants SIG's made he made Comandos and it looks good.

-But the list of people coming is slowly becoming very long and thats what I like to see:biggrin: I can't wait! Hopefully everyone remembers, its still 3 months away ahah. I'll bump this maybe once a month and keep everyone updated on any changes. Thanks again guys!

-MattD

[Stratton]

That sounds great, I would love to get some shots of the evo taken. I'm pretty excited about the meet as well, car should be done with two mods that will be put on most likely in april.

-MattD

he didnt make my sig... he took the pics but it was someone on this site(thanks) that made it....

im still trying to get a hold of him but once i do he will probably come along...

[Comando489]

he left me a voice mail and said that he would come but only if he didnt have any exzams.. so he will be there

[Stratton]

screw the sig, I'd just like to have some good pics taken of my car.

[Comando489]

ok he will be there for sure... i will try to get some pics up that he took of my car over the summer(he never finished with all the touch ups and is gona try to get them to me tonight)

[MattyD879]

Sweet I cant wait for this meet, that guy does nice work! Thanks for getting him Matt! Will he do this for free or would he like some donations or something?

[Comando489]

if he takes alot of pics of your car and does a good job of it then give him a little money just to make it worth it for him. and plus its really nice what he is doing so be nice back:tongue:

here are a few pics of my car he took over the summer, i told him to use the "fish eye" lense and stuff like that so thats why they look a little weird, but he can do any style that you like...

http://www.newcougar.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1226599#post1226599

[Comando489]

o yeah i had to resize them and they look bad now, i dont know how to do it right (i used paint) but they look alot better when they were bigger

[Stratton]

sounds good, I could easily throw a few bones his way probably around 5 pics would do for me (engine, 2-3 exterior, and an interior). Fish eye didn't do it for me, probably just some high res regular pics would be efficiant enough for me.

yeah lol ima take some normal pics of my car 2 lol

[JAMallott]

Comando brought this to my attention, so I thought I would check it out. I'm actually going to be in Rochester for St. Patrick's day, the 17th, so it looks like it could be possible! It will have to depend on how flexible my new job is, but from what I've heard, its pretty flexible. So count me in for the time being.

[THEKID]

Just bought some riiiiiiiiiiiiiims. I shall be baller at the meet. Yay for me.

[Stratton]

[MattyD879]

i think pretty much everyone has a little of everything done to their car that is coming.

Im gonna have my injens and GMK on, Borla Phantom, Alpine system, working sunroof, blue gauges, blacked out pilars, sts, cf taillight covers, smoked side markers, euro headlights and i got a lead on a Roush Kit. Dave if you still have those headers and SVT stuff i'll have those to put on too!


Edit: I'll have my Roush kit on too!:biggrin: Just bought it today !!

[Comando489]

EDIT: i hope to have a fixed car... some one crashed into me today :cry: :cry:

[THEKID]

GMK CAI, Headlight + Taillight covers, Ford Grille, 17's, Painted Side Markers.

[Stratton]

tien S-type springs, blitz intake, 272 cams, hard LIC piping, custom turboback exhaust. If you haven't figured it out by now, it's not a cougar. Evo VIII

[VGraphics]

My Cougar wont be making it. I will have the logos and be in my girls Grand am. See you guys then.

[JAMallott]

Well, it looks like now there is only like a 30% chance that I am heading up to Rochester that date, so I might not be able to make it. We'll see.

[MattyD879]

Oh i know and now i dont have to pay for a new front bumper and I got my Roush kit for $100!! Thats pimp! cant wait to put her on!

[Comando489]

just a thought/

it would be cool to let the CEG (contour.org) guys know about this. im sure some people from there would want to go.

mattyd what do u think?

[MattyD879]

yeah dude thats not a bad idea! is anyone from empire a part of CEG and could let those guys know about it? If so just tell those guys to PM me about coming..

[Comando489]

http://contour.org/ceg-vb/showthread.php?p=124558#post124558

[Pre98]

Want to say I'd join you fellas, but the meet date is smack in the middle of CEG's Spring Zing 2007 event, which I am definitely going to. I'm Pre98 on CEG too, I live in Cheektowaga.

I've seen and met a few Cougar owners around the area. I really want to come to this meet, but, I can understand a deadline is a deadline.

Unless it's not set in stone yet? :bowdown:

[MattyD879]

yeah sorry dude ive been planning this since decemberish/january shes set...

edit: nevermind lol

[Zman]

Spring Zing is the CEG's national meet, it's held in Michigan so stopping by isn't exactly an option.

[MattyD879]

ah haha damn i feel like an idiot now...

[Comando489]

ah haha damn i feel like an idiot now...

Don't sweat it. :)
For those interested, this is my ride. Whenever I see a Cougar on the road I usually throw the fogs on to try and grab their attention. I know I've run into a couple different guys from here personally, but far and few between.

Nada, my coug is pretty much stock. I've had it for 8 years now, it's over do and really needs to be repainted (has many small dents, dings...etc.). I have some other mods in mind but nothing final yet. The car has 106 plus miles on it but idk I love my coug and will never get rid of it, even when I get a new car next year I'm still not trading it in.

[Comando489]

Plus that is an old pic!

[02coug]

[Nitrik]

[Nitrik]

aw damn, I just sold the cougar and everything that I had for it. Sorry man.Yeah, I figured that once I seen the post you made afterwards about selling the car. Aw well...

[Stratton]

Anybody updating there status from a maybe to a yes? I see a couple question marks next to some names and wanted to see if they were able to clear that date.

[THEKID]

I gotta change my status to a "?" because im trying to get off work but im not sure if I can. Ill keep it updated.

[MattyD879]

:( nooo you gotta get off but i'll add another ? up there

[Stratton]

Attention Everyone!!!! Matt is getting very VERY paraniod that nobody is going to show up for this meet, so please back him up with some encouragement that you are going to come.

Empire has been know for some pretty lame turnouts and I think he's doing a good job by trying to put something like this together and get some Empire people together.
