When: Pretty much whenever we get a reason.
What: AS drivers meeting at a cool '50s themed restaurant, eating, BSing, and showing vans.
Where: Augustino's is located just west of IL-59 (Sutton Rd) on IL-64 (North Ave) in St.Charles.
Last meet at Auggy's was a couple weeks back when Mr_Roboto was up from the Carbondale area for job interviews. Southern and I had our vans there. Same group and vans met at Southern's house about a week later when Mr_Roboto had his second interview.

Must be interesting to think the way you do Petey ... but I am all thumbs up with your statement! I love look of the ride and '97 is the best ![big grin :D](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
Those tires look lovely!!! Wish I did not have to go to so many underground parking here where I live - otherwise I would put beefer tires on my ride as well.

Thanks.
I've seen his motorcycle, I don't want to see him in a blue dress, and I have enough firepower I'm not worried about anyone stopping by.

What!? $200!! Oh man, I've gotta shop Ebay more. I always get frustrated with the west coasters out bidding me in the wee hours of the morning...
Sweet deal indeed.
