I'd be interested if it was the 23rd - but the way it's been snowing this winter there's no telling what the weather will be like....

May I suggest J. Alexander's at Oak Brook as a possible food venue for lunch? Excellent food and a generous parking area, especially around back.

I think the 23rd would be great for me. J Alexanders is a great place to eat.

Anybody opposed to meeting downtown and then cruising to J Alexanders?

Do I have the power to declare it set for Feb. 23, cruise to Oakbrook, eat at J's?

Feb 2nd is bad for me too... I think, late Feb would be best, and hopefully the weather will be nicer.

I'm in for the 23rd. The only J. Alexander's I know about is in Northbrook, which one are you referring to?

I say we meet somewhere first for coffee (Streets of Woodfield?) then make it a 45 minute drive to wherever we want to go, and then we can either call it a day then or hit one more spot. The only reason I suggest this is to give us some time to cruise together and not just meet to fill our stomachs!

Sorry JTC, hopefully you can make the next one. There is a J. Alexanders at 1410 16th. St in Oakbrook. It is on the north side of Oakbrook mall. We can meet for coffee at Streets of Woodfield, say 10, and leave for Oakbrook at 11. Like it was said earlier, there is plenty of parking there. After that, maybe a cruise someplace else if people are up to that.

I might be in a 911 turbo, if the weather is gorgeous. I hear there ENDSMTG has a slightly fast car.....What's up Dave? And I will have a copilot with me also.

Slightly fast car is an understatement........did you see the youtube post by ChicagoX with Endsmtg's car with DRs going up against a C6 ZO6

I think even the new 911 Turbo would have an issue with Endsmtg's car

Sorry to talk smack, but I built the 911, and it runs in the 10's. Endsmtg and I will run them together sometime. I can attest to how fast Dave's car is though.

Oh, and it's an old 996 also, not a new one.
