Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: darqueyes on November 24, 2008, 12:47:00 PM
Ok everyone it is time to start thinking about next year.  I have composed an online questionnaire to get some insight into what people are interested in.  Please go to the Capri Gathering (http://www.caprigathering.com)  website and fill one out.  It will only take a few minutes.  If you are interested in hosting next years meet, and would like the results, or want other information, there is a comments area on the bottom.

NOTE: It will not submit if you have not answered all the questions.

Hey Terri,

I tried to fill out the form this morning, and it would not take my answer for "How far are you willing to travel"....   I tried miles (500) ...I tried hours (9).   It kept coming back with a request for a numeric value.  What is it looking for?  Please help so I can get my copy to you...

Thanks,
Cheryl

My fault.  I should have specified miles.  and do not put mi after the answer.  I will correct that right now.
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: darqueyes on November 25, 2008, 03:21:00 AM
Corrected.  I already have gotten one reply and evidently Cheryl is trying.  I must apologize in advance for any trouble you have.  I am by no means a web expert.  I am learning as I go along.  I am inputting all the replies into a database and will do some analysis along the way.  For now there is no cut off point for submission, but I would like to get this done as soon as possible.

Alright, I'm glad this is working.  I have 4 replies already.  It was suggested, that the reason last year had such a great turn out was the more central location.  That is why I ask for the city you live in.  I want to combine that info with distance willing to travel on a map to see where the best place would be for another record attendance.

I might have to.  That is the reason for the questions.
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: Ricksservice on January 14, 2009, 01:24:00 AM
Teri,

Do we have any idea on when the gathering is going to be this year yet?   I know it is early, but Rick and I have to plan a couple trips this summer and want to plan them around the gathering.   Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated...  Thanks in advance!   Cheryl
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: darqueyes on January 14, 2009, 12:28:00 PM
I don't know anything yet.  By my calculations only about 10 people are willing to drive this far north.  I have mid July as the most popular.  My plan was to get the assistance of my local Ford dealer.  I will  go and talk to them this week and get back to you.
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: Ricksservice on January 15, 2009, 02:52:00 AM
Teri,  Thanks for the info....  If July is the favorite month for everyone...then I will plan our other activities around the month of July and leave that month open...   This will do for now, as I can go ahead and plan our other trips...    Thank you for your help!   We will wait to hear more later...

Thanks again,
Cheryl

Yuri I meant email me because your helping!  As much as I hate to see it here it looks like northeast Wisconsin.  The other possibility was Detroit, but Josh never committed so it looks like I am stuck.

I'd love to go to Green Bay, we could hang out at Lambeau field.  maybe catch a practice.

Smurfette I think you can't go to Green Bay because of all of the restraining orders against you from the players, cause you are their biggest fan.

Post by: Phillip on February 10, 2009, 08:19:00 AM
The Boars, Sux and Flubs all suck! You would think that for as much as those morons make they would actually try to win!

Seriously though there are lots of good areas in South and Central Indiana and Illinois.

 http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2286/ (http://www.byways.org/explore/byways/2286/)

 
A rolling rally where we traverse a laid out itinerary would be great! Designate a starting point and time with laid out stops along the way and everyone drives the route. You could join at any point and leave at any point or drive the entire route it’s up to you. We eat at places along the way and these could be the laid out stops.
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: Gostlrs on February 13, 2009, 04:18:00 PM
we can we get these questions completed?

Where will it be?

When will it be?

What will we be doing?

How long will it be?

I am in the miltary and i need to project my time off. Plus save some cash for the drive.

Thank
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: darqueyes on February 19, 2009, 02:17:00 PM
well gost that may still be up in the air.  I was going to host it in Wisconsin this year, but the feed back is very few people want to drive this far.  I'm about 45 minutes south of Green Bay.

I got 21 relies to my questionaire.  Here are the results:
mid July got the most votes
The median distance willing to travel is 200 miles
1000 is the most and 70 is the least.

So either more people have to be willing to drive farther, or there won't be but 10 cars here.  The general consensus is the Indiana location last year was perfect.  So does anyone in that area want to take a stab at it?
Title: 2009 Capri Gathering
Post by: Ricksservice on February 20, 2009, 04:47:00 AM
Terri and Everyone,

I have made a few phone calls for those living in the Indiana area...to see if we can start a Capri Gathering Planning Board (thus sharing the load to have a Great Capri Gathering and not overwelming one person with the complete job).   Rick has also made a few phone calls on some tracks around the area to see if we could get one for a Saturday....  No decisions are final yet, but we are working on it...  also,  if others are interested in helping and being on the planning board, please let me know....   We can do alot via phone, email, or fax (don't necessarily need to be in Indiana- for example...Shirley doing our t-shirts for us last year...her being in Illinois and the Gathering in Indiana).... so everyone can participate if interested...  Please let me know....  The more help we get...the better our special day will be!   More information will follow...

It would be cool to have caravans from the west coast.... caravan from the east coast.... another caravan from the north (like last year-who had so much fun, from what I hear)....and a caravan from the south.....   that would be cool!

Remember to take pictures of the caravan you will be in....  We will need those pictures of our special day for posting for all to share.  Regardless of where it will be this year.

More info to follow later!

Hi all!
I have booked my room at a place called Sunset Inn in Remmington Indiana.  (219-866-4172)
Not sure what I am going to find but it was the only place I found that would let me bring my dog with me.  I did not bring her last year and was very unhappy with what I came home too.  I can live with an older place as long as I can take care of my dog.
Now, if any one else wants to stay there also the manager Leroy said to say you are with the car show and he will give you the same price he gave me which is $51 a night including tax (+$5 a day for the dog).  He does have grills and picnic tables in his back yard that if we want to cook on Saturday night and have a few beers we are more than welcome to use the yard.
Bad news is I could not find a review for this place on the internet which does worry me some but I would worry more about my dog if she was not with me.  I will not be taking her to the gathering unless I am told it is OK.  
Anyone living in that area and know what this place is like let me know.
I called all the places in Renseller and non of them would let me bring my dog.

I don't know anything about the place Shirley, but I will take a drive by this weekend and check it out for everyone....  I will post a reply after we check it out...

Also, things happen at the worst time...but my computer(s) are giving Rick and I fits...  I am using a friends computer to check on teamcapri and posting this reply....  but if anyone needs to get in touch with Rick or I fast, call us (219) 954-1062....  I am unable to check emails every day at this time.  Something about the Internet Explorer/Outlook Express not reading correctly...  So, if the group (Shirley, Matt, Ron, Terri, or Russ) need to get information guick, call me....  I will let you know when the computers are back up and operational...  Thanks!

The deadline for registration is coming up quickly.  I was forced to use different software this year it was free, but not very user friendly.  If you register online, a paypal invoice detailing what you owe will be emailed to you.  If you do not get an invoice then your registration did not go through.  An alternative method of online registration would be to fill out and scan in the mail registration form or just send an email with all the questions answered to:darqueyes@sbcglobal.net

Post by: Ricksservice on April 28, 2009, 11:37:00 AM
Everyone who owns a Capri -

The clock is ticking....  Early Registration for this years MACG ends Friday and many of you have not registered.  I need to emphasize how important it is to get your registration in so we know how much food to order, Shirley knows how many shirts to make, we can plan out how much space will be needed for our cars, etc....  So PLEASE - Register...even if you can't pay right away.... send in your registration with an email sharing a date of when we can expect your payment.  You can contact me at rcstone@home.ffni.com.  

As for this years activities....

We will be meeting at Brookside Park in Rensselaer, IN.  There will be another Car Club there (JC Cruizers has this event every year with about 150 cars for the day).  There will be custom cars, street rods, mussel cars, etc.... AND our Aussie Capris will be the FEATURE car this year with a "BEST of Show" Trophey awarded for our group (our group will be all together)...  There will be a lot to see and many owners to visit with...  There will be door prizes, a DJ, food and fellowship....  Down the road about a mile....the 4H county fair will also be going on for those who may want to visit....
At the park...they have a public swimming pool for anyone who wishes to take a dip (extra cost).  So anyone with kids....the pool maybe of interest for you.  At 5:30 p.m. CST all the cars from the show, will line up and head for the annual car cruise night parade....  We will be escorted by police and travel through town and around the hospital, retirement home, the college, etc.  after the first round through town...the police will let everyone go and those from the town join in on the cruise laps....many of the cars from the show, park around the town square and watch and visit as the cruise night continues....   We will talk more about what everyone wants to do at the park before the car parade....

As far as Hotel accomodations....

Shirley,

I did stop and visit the Sunset Inn....  It was originally a Days Inn several years ago...  The owners are remodeling the hotel...  Leroy (the Manager) did allow Rick and I to check out several of the rooms (queen bed, double beds, and a king bed)...  the rooms were clean.  They all have cable with HBO, Micro and Fridge available when requested, free wireless internet, and a breakfast snack bar (toast, fruit, coffee, and juice).  On the East side of the hotel is a truck stop (plenty of room for trucks and trailers) with a restaurant.  There is a McDonalds across from the hotel.  On the West side is a KFC and Super 8 hotel, but before you get to the KFC and Super 8, there is a grass area reserved for picnics with tables and grills and playground area.  Shirly, that is where he was talking about you guys could meet and visit.  The thing I was thinking about.... is if someone didn't want to stay at the Sunset Inn...they could get a room at the Super 8 and still visit together in the picnic area...  It is up to you all....  Here is the information I have about the local hotels....

Sunset Inn
4252 W. HWY 24
Exit 201 off of Interstate 65
Remington, IN 47977
219-261-2178

Super 8
West of Sunset Inn
Exit 201 off of Interstate 65
219-261-2883
Rates $66.00 on up

These 2 hotels are about 12 miles South from Renessaler.

They have a Holiday Inn Express and Knights Inn  about 3 miles from the park...

Holiday Inn Express
4788 Nesbitt Dr.
Renessaler, IN
219-866-7111
rate is $70.00 per night and ask for the "Nancy Special" Cruise weekend price.

Knights Inn
On Hwy 114
Renessaler, IN
219-866-4164
don't know the rate...    
 
As for directions to the park-

Take Interstate 65 either North or South...then you will get off on exit 215 (Hwy 114) and go East about 3 miles from the exit.. the park will be on your right hand side as you are coming into town....  There will be signs and a gentlemen who will be greeting you as you turn into the park area...  I will share more information as we get closier to the event.

Keep in mind...if we get rained out at the park, we will move the MACG to our shop in Medaryville, IN which is about 22 miles East of Renssealer, IN. Where we can move inside, stay dry and still have fun....

Rick and I as well as the Whole MACG Planning Comittee hopes to see you there... so Register those Capri's and come and join the fun!

I urge everyone to sign up for this years Gathering.  There is nothing like the sight of 30+ Capri's together in one place.  Pictures do not do it justice.  Not just so many cars, but to have so many Capri owners together in one spot is a valuable resource to those with problems with thier car, or curious about modifications.  All Capri owners should come to a Gathering at least twice during their ownership.

i may be too late for this years event,
 my sister in law lives in sherman illinois, outside of chattam or springfield... are we even close??? if it were close enough to there, my wife and i could stay there for free, and drive out to the grounds the day of a meet.. and that way she can visit her sister while i do the car thing... shes not big on crowds or car shows like she used to be.. back when we built the zx2 (our show car) she loved it.( we've showed nopi twice, amongst others) but interests change when the little girl came..
so now if i could pawn it off as a trip to see her sister, with a capri gathering the same weekend.. that could go over very well!!
keep me posted, and let me know when you guys plan next years ... if im too late for this years.
thanks yall have fun....Joe

I cant encourage people enough to come to one of our Gatherings.  I know that Rick and Cheryl and Shirley (who is doing the shirts) have been working exceptionally hard to put this Gathering together.  

The truth of the matter is; the Gathering is all about YOU.  YOU are the reason that it has been going on for 8 years now.  YOU are the reason people have worked hard over the years to put this thing together.  

Without YOU there would be no gathering, just some sad guy with his Capri in a big parking lot all by himself, wondering if he is all alone in this world.  The least YOU can do is Show up.  thats right, just show up.  

Once you go to one of these events, YOU WILL want to come again and again.  It is always interesting.  What is it?  A couple days out of your year?  

There will be food, door prizes, and Bags-O-Crap worth over $3.00 (hows that for incentive ha ha ha)

So, I was all excited about my new exhaust system to show off at the Gathering this year.  Now not so much.   was supposed to have 2 1/4" pipe from cat all the way back through high flow performance muffler.  They left the old pipe, after the resonator put 2" to the muffler and then left the old tailpipe out the other end???????????  What the heck were they thinking????  They said they would fix it, but I must admit I am a bit upset about it.  it is actually quiter now than it was when I brought it in.  Oh well, I am trying not to get myself worked up over it, but I am gobsmaked at what they did because I see no logic in it.

OK Capri fans, I talked to Shirley yesterday and she told me that she has 6 2x shirts for the Capri Gathering left.  

These shirts are chocolate colored (not covered in chocolate, and they are the Hanes Bewefy T's, so they are heavyweight t's.  She is selling the shirts for $15 plus whatever shipping is.  

And if you act now, she said that she will make the Capri on the front any color you would like.  

The front of the T is embroidered and the back has some silk screening.

There are no other sizes or colors so don't ask.

Ok, so I tagged a guy today.  He's had his Capri for 3 years and this is the first time I saw him.  I can't see how I missed him.  Manitowoc is not that big!  He has a '94 NA, original in absolutely mint condition. I mean trophy material hands down.  He said he looked around for a Capri club or something when he first bought the car, but didn't find one. I told him all about our little rag, tag bunch of degenerates - of which I am a proud card carrying member - and I did my best to get him interested in the MACG; but I'm quite sure the only thing I convinced him of is that I am a few screwdrivers short of a tool box for being so passionate about a car; that I don't see him wanting to meet up with more than 30 other crazy people.  I hope I'm wrong.  One thing I do think I accomplished is he will be checking out this site.  And to him I would just like to say I didn't get your name but welcome to the greatest online "club" for the Aussie Capri.

I have some bad news to report:  Dr. boB, the creator of the MACG, will not be attending this year.  He is currently undergoing some medical testing, and is in the hospital until Saturday, at the earliest. I'm sure he will be reading this on his laptop, so Dr. boB- Get well soon, and the meet won't be the same without you and your yellow and red shoes present!!

Wish I cold be there.  The MACG is my baby.  The unfortunate thing is now I have to listen to Terri going on and on about being the only one there for every gathering.  ha ha ha teri ha ha  

I really hope the weather is great and you have an outstanding time.  Once again, Thanks Rick and Cheryl for taking the time to plan this event.  It is very important to me that the Gathering keeps going on and everybody gets a chance to come.  

For those of you who have never been, you really have to come.  It is awesome to see so many Capri's in one place.  

Where else can you complain about your car and have a whole group of people who understand what you are going through, and not only that, can help?
