Ok sooo.. I am making this to see who all is going. I know its super early to talk about but i can seriously see reservations for hotels/campgrounds going pretty fast. So whos thinking about going and where is everyone thinking about staying??

I'm planning on going and I think I'm going to camp, probably at the state park.

I want to go. I'll go where everyone else does and mooch a room.

HAH! I might actually see if I can borrow my friend's 15 person tent! Otherwise I might do the same [:p]

i hear ya on that one. I might just go out and buy a new tent.. their not that expensive. But lets get the gump crew going and eventually make a plan!

I'm not an "outside" person...
I'm afraid of bearssssss!

Bears Smears


I'm CAMPING [woot]

haha.. that made me think of anchorman "they can smell the menstration" haha.. <3 that movie.

i am going for sure, i already turned in my vacation for it, i may camp but will look into a hotel cause i like to take hot showers

Camping sounds kewl. It would be great if we could all get around the same spot.

Go check out the Focus Fest section of the forums. There are camping sites with showers [:)]

Man this sucks. Because you can trash a hotel room and not clean it up (tradition)

or you can trash your camp site and then you just screwed yourself.

yea.. i am split between a hotel and a camp site.. the hotels are not that expensive. hmm.. kinda of a hard decision.

I'm going to be going. Turned my vacation request in already. The southeast caravan section is looking like having Birmingham the meeting place for the FL and other peeps. So I'm gonna hit them up. It is gonna be sweet.

im stil planin on it...

im thinking about it, will have to see about work and all.

I have already made my plans for look out S.E.F in the house. LOL

Im gonna go, prolly camp I guess.

if i catch the caravan it will probably be in Memphis

i was hoping to meet up with some people when the reach atlanta.. it looks like the FL crew is going through atlanta.. so i guess i will have to talk to them

i am going to reserve a room with 2 queen beds for check in on Fri night and checkout Mon morning at the Best Western in Russellville. i figure 4 of us can split that room.

yea... i dont think i am old enough to make reservations... hahaha...

I'll be going.

Ugh now I'm torn between camping and a hotel room lol! Just depends on where all the cool kids are staying I guess [:p]

im planning on bringing the RV...gump crew can mooch if they bring diesel [:)]

im planning on bringing the RV...gump crew can mooch if they bring diesel [:)]

Can it be off road diesel^^ I have a place here at work i can get it cheap![deviltail]

yea.. i can siphon some gas out of our tractor

I use to run it all the time in my f250 diesel,just dont get caught by the dmv the fine is a little high.lol

Jfocus sounds good. Drop me a pm and let me know the cost.

well the motor is a cummins and is the same model found in bulldozers so i'm sure [:)] haha

i think i'm gonna come up from florida and stay over in auburn or close to it and then ride from there...so i think we should meet in au thurs night and hit the bars and then ride out for the rest of the 9 hours friday...

i talked this over a little with some of the cool kids from the tampa area such as honhon and they will prolly be rolling up with my convoy and staying over in auburn too...

my route: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=bradenton,+fl+34205&daddr=auburn,+al+36832+to:33.017876,-86.044922+to:centerville,+ar+72829&mra=dpe&mrcr=1&mrsp=2&sz=7&via=2&sll=31.381779,-87.637939&sspn=8.193036,13.798828&ie=UTF8&z=7&om=0

dang.. i wanna go.. but that would require me going down then back up.. i will see...

i thought you enjoyed going down....?

ha..ha..ha... turd

well the motor is a cummins and is the same model found in bulldozers so i'm sure [:)] haha

sounds good to me, i could meet in AU and roll with you guys

hey guys make sure you early register, so you can get a goodie bag

Im planning on going, it so close I cant think of an excuse not too. Ill prolly sleep in the car cause Im hard like that. Gimme some idea when you coming through memphis and Ill just follow you that way I dont have to worry about directions.

we won't be coming through memphis but somewhere close...you can meet us in auburn or bham if you want!

has anyone registered?

i did today

i will come through memphis and meet up with you diablo

I still need to.

Im officially in.

i need to do that too

i need to as well.. kinda short on money cause i bought some stuff for my car

i'll register eventually...

i hear ya

i'll register eventually...

yea same here^^^lol

next paycheck i will register

going to register today!! yea!!!

Evan, are you still taking the rv to focusfest? who's driving it and your fofo? i may have access to a 3-4 car trailer and i can tow yours while you drive the rv and if anyone wants to ride with me (if a fourth focus doesn't exceed the weight limit) i will tow theirs as well (as long as they pitch in some gas money).

yea you got to watch that weight you pull.DOT loves to catch people who are over, trust me i know, they are real bad in NC

ooo.. u can pull mine. i will pitch in for gas!

my dad is gonna drive the RV, i'm not quite that good [:)] and regardless im gonna have to drive it from florida to AU and we'll see from there, i may trade you a sleeping spot for a tow but who knows...

Well I guess im going to drive mine there.

Where are you guys (without an RV) planning on staying? I wanted to make my hotel reservation today and wondered where the rest of the SouthEast is going

I thought all of us were going to stay at the track? what do u guys think?

I still need to, I was going to bring my trailer but that requires two vehicles...don't know if the wife is going to wat to go or not....if not I guess i will be hoteling it....or just sleep in the car......

i already made reservations at the best western

I thought all of us were going to stay at the track? what do u guys think?

^^That would be cool is we had the room??I guess i could break out the tent

I thought all of us were going to stay at the track? what do u guys think?

What about showers? Unless we take turns using Evan's rv.


I will keep you guys posted about the trailer. Turned out my buddy didn't buy it yet, the guy selling it is holding onto it for him to use in March. And from what i'm told it wouldn't be a problem borrowing it in June as long as the guy still has it.

What will you tow it with?

yea we will have to see^^ about the showers maybe evan will hook us up.Then there is allways a hotel around if it came to that.

yea i kinda would like a hotel better.. hotels have pools yay!! so lets see i guess.

BW has a hot tub too I think. They have a special rate for the FF crew.
P# 479-967-1000 for reservations.

Hot tub cant beat that!!

yea i kinda would like a hotel better.. hotels have pools yay!! so lets see i guess.

Im liking this event already...

alcohol baths work too.

Now thats nice we def need to do that. I can't wait to see the Caravan it will be sick.

ok guys.. hotel?

I'm already in at the Best Western. Made reservations the 27-29th but I can change the days if needed to roll with the S/E crew

my reservations are at best western for 27-29 as well

What will you tow it with?

That big white thing in the background...
http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j132/slocussvt/focus%20stuff/pics016.jpg

Crashin' at Best Western sounds good to me. I'll have to make reservations unless another gump member is going to. That and i still need to register.

theres 2 showers in the RV so whatever you guys want [thumb]

I'm cool with where ever as long as i can shower.

I will most likely be going. I will camp if I go by myself, if my dad comes I will probably go in a hotel.

yea same here if i go by myself i will camp but if not then i will get a hotel too

Thats funny^^ I just bought a truck like that.Its a 2004 f-350 crew 4wd same color, mine has the 6.0 diesel so i guess i will see how it compares to the old 7.3 diesel that i had.[driving]

hmm this is hard to decide.. hotel or camp... hmm

well if any of the gump guys wanna get a hotel i can definately pitch in...

oo.. my dad just bought a 99 f-350 super duty.. turbo diesel flat bed.. pretty sweet

Thats cool about the 99 f-350 that is a good truck with the 7.3 diesel that thing will run forever!I would say you could stay with me if i get a hotel room but i snore BAD!!LOL

haha.. i have a pit bull, she snores like a bear. i could sleep through anything

Thats cool about the 99 f-350 that is a good truck with the 7.3 diesel that thing will run forever!I would say you could stay with me if i get a hotel room but i snore BAD!!LOL

idk my dad's boss has one and has been through like 4 turbos and idk what else in the past 2 years...

Ours is a 2000 that we got used from the dealership i used to work at for around 20k. I've installed a k&n drop in filter (free), 4 inch straight pipe (25 cents) w/5 inch tip ($35) and a hypertech programmer (free). I love the sound of the turbo whistle through the 4 inch straight pipe. No mufflers, cats or resonators FTW!

I'd like to get the chance to hear that truck purr!

^You will at FocusFest. Oh, and i meant to post last night that i registered.

Sweet, looking forward to it.

So yeah, I have my hotel lined up, registered for the BBQ thing, and will do the drag. Hopefully Loco gets that dyno going on too, would be cool to see where I'm at now

idk my dad's boss has one and has been through like 4 turbos and idk what else in the past 2 years...

sounds like your dads boss got a bad one^^ I have some friends that have the 99 model and have over 200k with no problems.

Man i need to buy some parts where you get yours!I need to check yours out and see how it sounds because that is what i want to do to mine.I at least want a CAI, exhaust,and a programmer for it.

oyea i did get a hotel room reserved now all i need to do is register! woot woot!!

my dads truck he just bought he got for $9,000.. pretty good deal.

I am registering today!

Man i need to buy some parts where you get yours!I need to check yours out and see how it sounds because that is what i want to do to mine.I at least want a CAI, exhaust,and a programmer for it.

My dad got them all when he worked at ford. The only reason why he got them for so cheap was they were sitting around forever so they were sold for w/e took them out the door. As for the programmer, i had a superchip's chip from an f350 we worked on at the dealership but it was for a 7.3 auto but my buddy Danny had the Hypertech that was for a 2000 7.3, so we swapped. Mine will sound different then yours considering you have the 6.0. The 6.0's have more turbo whistle when you put on an exhaust (kinda sounds like a giant hairdryer). Kinda like this one....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=1Wet2pAsTIo

As where mine will sound like this....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=SRuQvxW_FmY&feature=related

yea that is what i have herd so far even with the stock exhaust it souds like a jet airplane taking off when i get on it hard.I thought it was louder than my old 7.3 i had as far as the whistle goes.

my dads truck he just bought he got for $9,000.. pretty good deal.

I am registering today!

Sounds like your dad got a good deal^^ I paid 14k for mine i dont think that was too bad of a deal sense it was a 45k truck new.

We got the new 6.4L dual turbo and its like driving a rocket powered freight train! [headbang]

woot woot. i am stoked about FF yay

Cant wait^^

I'm In. Most def. I already asked off for work. hopefully I'll be dropped and on new kicks by then. maybe new exhaust. I plan to camp, put the car in the show (why not) and probably get inhebriated of some sort. PM me details or s/n's guys. I want to be part of the southeastern caravan on the way.



side note: i didnt want to read this whole thread or make a new one.

Our threads have zero content anyway. Yeah, please do tag along with us. We're probably meeting in Birmingham or something as a central location to convoy out, but I don't think we have officially decided yet.

well as soon as we know something I can be in the "ham within 15 minutes or so at a jump off point so to speak. I may just "best Western" it do any of you guys remember me? Evan probably does. I was in Auburn last summer for a week or so and went off with you guys for a bit.

Yeah I was there too.

lol, i know, jst didnt remember if you remembered me being there.

i am still iffy about camping outside.. isint it going to be hot?

haha sweet, erickson right?

and we're meeting in AUBURN if at all possible so we can hit up the bars thursday night....otherwise we'll swing through B-ham friday morning

Sweet. Glad you're coming man. I'll finally get to meet ya.

registered today yay!

I got my hotel room,Yea!

Well for anyone that is camping out there or whatever, if you need a place just to shower or store extra gear or anything you are more than welcome to use my room. Unless I have *company* that is, [;)]

DP....woops!

Is anyone going through Tennesse??? Like Late? I have school friday in Shelbyville, and I get out at 2:15. I figured if I book it after school, I should be in Memphis by 5:30 or 6. (Hopefully in or near Centerville by 10 or 11). And how many people have a motel room? I believe I am too young to get one(if any is even left in town).[???:)]

I do have a room, shared with a forum bro. The floor is always up for grabs

Triple Post FTL!!!!

Ditto!

F'ing computer isn't bringing up my posts so i don't know if i've triple posted or not.

Charles, what hotel you staying at? I need to get a room still.

I do have a room, shared with a forum bro. The floor is always up for grabs

I might be taking up that floor offer. Youre saying at the Best Western right? The only thing is, is that I might have a lot more people with me, at least 3 for now, maybe more before then. I dont know what they are planning to do but, I want a room. Im not to fond of camping and not showering. (And the showers at the park are going to be "mad crazy" with people).

yeaa.. i kinda want a room too. but not sure yet. so anyone want to share i am down!

I'm gonna sneak in here for a minute and ask you guys does TN have 93 octane or is it lower? Just wondering.....

Also, some of us Mid-Atlantic'ers will be stopping in TN somewhere on Thursday night to get a hotel room, not sure where at yet, so if anyone wants to join in on a caravan Friday morning just let me know so we can set something up.

I will be getting a room too for the wife and I should have an extra bed..Everyone Staying at the Best Western?

Yep, we have 93 octane here

yo JOSH! I might steal that bed... maybe not sure yet

NP it is yours if you want it

Yeah, we have 93 at pretty much every fuel joint. Thats what I run in my focus. My car surges if I run 87. I also know of a place that sells race fuel.[;)]

I keep seeing everyone from the gump crew thats going. I really want to go, but there is no way I'm driving 10 hours one way to stay somewhere for 3 days, 2 nights. You all just bring back plenty of pictures.

still up in the air if i can/will. definately want to though, and seeing as i may be outside memphis for the summer, it'd be that much shorter a trip.

i have a room at the best western also. i believe john said he was going to share with me

I'm following someone to a room. Anyone want to volunteer?

So we've decided if we can boost the ST before FF, we'll go. If not, holla!

Boost? Don't be lame, just add some

http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/4492/nosuo0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

you know what to it, lol! Get'r done and all that jazz.

As for rooms, I do have a res at BW and have told John that he can crash. Outside of that and as time draws closer we'll make some plans for floor space for any of my South East bro's in need.

Unless I get lucky and have a "lady friend" over, then you're S.O.L.

I will split a room with someone at best western if they reserve it. I dont have a credit card(or a debit card) so, I cant reserve one.

My girl and buddy is gonna be with me. So we will prob end up with our own room.

My girl and buddy is gonna be with me. So we will prob end up with our own room.

Dude, sorry about not texting back on that install thing. I was caught up with skating and a girl type thing [deviltail]

But seriously, the exhaust sounded dope when you passed. Very choice tone!

I have a room reserved at BW also

I want to boost it. Thats not the problem. Selling the extra house we have and the 350 is the problem. When either one sells first, boost here we come....and maybe FF.

well I am just going to follow someone to their hotel room and crash. ha

So we've decided if we can boost the ST before FF, we'll go. If not, holla!

I'm gonna be starting on the zx3 soon. Gotta fix the third gear synchro and apply boost and hopefully have it tuned by FF. You just need to bring your lazy ass up that way anyways.

well I am just going to follow someone to their hotel room and crash. ha

sounds like a plan to me^^ lol

Jer.. did u ever find a trailer?

You just need to bring your lazy ass up that way anyways.

Lazy nothing. 650 miles f'ing miles. 10 hours one way. I dont even think I would drive that far for a piece of ass. I don't know. I have a guy thats interested in my 350. If it sells, boost and FF here we come.

woot woot the more the better!

US Folks for ATL have to make the same drive...and if it was a good enough piece of ass you would do it...HAHA

Jer.. did u ever find a trailer?

Not yet.

I've flown cross country for ass, ha-ha! Plus there should plenty of that going 'round at FF.....in my room! [whip]

Ass & Boost FTMFW!

US Folks for ATL have to make the same drive...and if it was a good enough piece of ass you would do it...HAHA

^^ does it really have to be good enuff??I have never had a bad piece so far, but there is allways a first time for everthing! lol

hahaha.. u must not have high expectations

hahaha.. u must not have high expectations

well you know if you dont have high expectations you never get disappointed! lol [80?]

There ya go set the bar low buddy. That's my life philosophy. Although it sure does make you feel like crap when you fail haha. [rofl]

I'm picky with my girls though, it's killing me.

well i dont know about setting the bar low, lets say im somewhere in the middle! lol

Important announcement, something you guys may not like to hear but would like to know.
...from what I have gathered, if you want alcohol you can't buy it in the county we will be in. You might want to buy it and bring it with you just in case.

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMe

Don't shoot the messenger sweetheart.

i didnt.. just voicing but hey, i cant buy anything on sundays

I posted this in the Caravan forum thing, but here's a link. They are planning a massive convoy. Check it out.

I am going through Memphis, with 3 or 4 other Foci. We will be coming through there friday afternoon, around 5 or 6. I dont get out of class in Shelbyville until 2:15 and Im going to book it to Memphis as soon as I get out of the school parking lot. It should take me 3 or 4 hours to get to Memphis. If anyone is still running behind that night we can meet up with them.

if i'm going, it'll probably be heading out from tunica, just south of memphis. so i'll have to keep up with what everyone's doing so i can hop into a convoy somewhere, lol.

yea i thought we were partying in auburn thursday night and heading out friday? i dunno, but whatever is cool with me, I just know for sure that I am going to drive down then follow who ever

No partying thursday for me. I got school friday morning.[thumbd]

At least it is an auto body school so, maybe I might do a little something to the Focus before then.

Damn was on the fence till this morning about coming then Wifey reminded me I'm best man in a wedding in Forida that Saturday... I called him he wont reschedule.

yea i thought we were partying in auburn thursday night and heading out friday? i dunno, but whatever is cool with me, I just know for sure that I am going to drive down then follow who ever

yea thats what i thought^^Im down for it partying and then a convoy to FF

yea i am down for the partying too..

yay partying!

oh and stocking UP

dry counties ftl, 21st century ftw...

^^^yea will have to make sure the coolers are fully stocked!!

Well if we're partying Thursday then I probably won't be able to get you sorry @$$es up in time on Friday to catch up with the others in Menphis. [hihi]

If we planned on doing it we'd probably have to leave early so... it's up to you guys. It was just a thought, I'd like to roll with the other folks too if we would be able to get out there in time.

you guys want to get a cabin?

so i found this room at the best western that has a king and a double.. its $228.. for friday-monday. I am willing to book this if anyone wants to go in with me money wise.. so let me know!

so i found this room at the best western that has a king and a double.. its $228.. for friday-monday. I am willing to book this if anyone wants to go in with me money wise.. so let me know!

I will split it with you Dani. I will take the double. I have been looking for someone to split a room with.

Well that sounds like a good idea, maybe I will get in on that too. Reviews for that best western on google were nasty but it seems like a lot of folks are staying there.

I got a room res there so we will have to see^^ I hope its a good place to stay!!

ok cool! I will make the reservation tomorrow if anyone else wants to pitch in.. just let me know!

I am 100% down with splitting a room. You will probably get there before me though. I have school friday morning.[:(]

Its cool, I might not get one that big.. because no one else has chimed in...so I am just going to get prob a double or something. I dunno, I will letcha know tho!

With gas the way it is, FF is looking further and further out of sight for us...almost non existent....probably non existent.

i got a double room reserved there, i don't have high expectations of hotels in Arkansas, just a bed, shower, and a/c.

yea i am not expecting much either.. hey i think BW has a hot tub lol

yea i am not expecting much either.. hey i think BW has a hot tub lol

same here^^ and i think they do have a hot tub as for what kind of shape its in is a diffrent question. LOL

Well that sounds like a good idea, maybe I will get in on that too. Reviews for that best western on google were nasty but it seems like a lot of folks are staying there.

Just happened across this, the Fairfield near the Best Western is Fairly New and runs a little cheaper for 2 queen beds, it has some good reviews as well. I know a few of us from the Mid-Atlantic booked there. Just my 2 cents

So my Buddy refuses to move his wedding and anything short of a time portal opening up I wont be able to make it FF >.<

^I might can arrange that...

might can huh...you're sounding more and more like jonny...

What?

so, who has hotel reservations thus far?

ok , so i went to book my room but you have to be 21... i need help! So if someone else puts it in their name I will give all the funds but just cant have it in mine because its not aug yet!!

Don't do it, she'll trash the room and leave you to pay for it!

whatever!!! I have never trashed a room and you know it. You and Evan trashed the room at Nopi.. remember the ring of beer cans around the room??

Me????

[hihi]

I was kidding. And I'm a good boy, remember?

hahahahahahaha... suuuuuuure arent those devil horns holding up your halo?

That's my secret.

I want in on this Caravan! I dont want to travel alone.. Anyone coming out of Mobile to Meet up!?!

haha.. we never make plans, until the day of..

I thought the plan was to chill in Auburn thursday night and then head out friday morning. Not sure if thats still it but whatever anyone decides I am down.. I am kinda thinking twice about driving all the way down and back up beacuse of gas. I may just meet up with whoever in north AL on friday morning. Plus like Dan said.. if we drink thursday night the chance of us getting up early in the morning is slim to none....

yea soo true^^ I guess we do need to get some kind of game plan going.

If I leave Really early I can meet you all in Auburn on Friday!

i am going to look at a route..

yea we need to see what will work best for the majority

Well since I am above atlanta it would be best for me to go Atl > Birmingham > Memphis > Centerville

Heres the link

And thats going all HWY..

We could just all meet up in Birmingham friday morning.. seems like everyone has to go through there anyways.

That sounds like a good plan Dani. Some of us who are already in Auburn or who are coming up from like Mobile or Florida can hang out in Auburn Thursday night; maybe go out and have a few drinks but not get smashed, and then leave early Friday morning to meet up with ya'll in Bham? I also like the idea of the mini meet if we can make it in time [:)]

Yea.. thats prob what I am going to do.. If I came to Auburn and you guys go to bars I couldnt get in anyways.. and I know me, if I drink.. I am not getting up early.

haha the price you pay for being young^^j/k [cheers] LOL I could meet up with the peeps from auburn thur of fri,I allready put in for the time off so im good on that one!

Were leaving friday morning.. hopefully..

^^yea i was thinking that was the last thing i herd.We was all going to meet up in auburn and convoy up there fri morning.

yea.. i will prob just meet up friday in Birmingham..

Oh and if anyone is coming to Auburn Thursday night and has no place to crash, I have a futon and an air mattress available.

Shouldn't be a problem just lemme know what the plan is when ya find out [:)]

Auburn. I think some people are gonna meet up here and hang out Thursday night then travel up to B'ham to meet up with the rest of the crew early Friday morning.

You can get to Auburn either 85 or 280 from LaGrange but 85 is easier. If those 4 or 5 ppl dont mind sleepin on the floor bring 'em along with ya [:p] But if you guys already planned to go through ATL and Memphis it might be easier to go that way, I'm not sure. You should talk to Evan cuz I believe he's coming from FL to Auburn.

Ah yes if you were going through Columbus it would be easier to take 280. His SN is Warneej on here.

He's goin to FF. He goes to school in Auburn but is from somewhere in FL so he's back there for the summer.

Ok sounds good to me [:)] Nice to meet you btw, I'm Jess.

He's goin to FF. He goes to school in Auburn but is from somewhere in FL so he's back there for the summer.

Yea he is from bradenton FL I think.So are you going to FF or meet up with the gumpcrew thursday?

Damn AL people stealing all the fun!!!! grrr.. lol. So are the FL people leaving Thursday morning? I can meet up with them I guess..

Yea he is from bradenton FL I think.So are you going to FF or meet up with the gumpcrew thursday?

I'm hopefully doing both. I think I'm riding with Dan up to FF cuz I dont have the money to drive myself (gas prices SUCK!). So I should meet up with ya Thursday night and then head up with ya'll Friday morning.

Thanks Jeremy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Call A Room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you mind an awesome Roomie!?! [race]

Im down

Sweet... ILL PM you my Number!

wow we've accomplished a lot in this week that my internet has been broked...

my plan is still solid, coming up from FL with that whole crew on thurs and crashing in auburn and hitting the bars

friday leaving out from there hopefully with the whole gump crew and riding out to AR..

too bad we won't be able to make that sonic thing, much much too early haha, anything short of driving straight through wouldn't get me there in time...

^^When can we wash our cars... Im arriving in Auburn on Thursday night! i wanna wash mine there and get it ready

Well I guess I will just meet up with everyone in Birmingham.. its just not economical for me to drive down to auburn.. just make sure you guys get ur asses up in the morning!

WHo all has FRS radios that is going out of Auburn?

wash the car in au? that doesn't seem like a good idea since we'll be driving 9 hours to AR on the hwy but if you want to there are many pay-n-sprays etc...

and idk about the walkie talkies, someone said something about them earlier and i think they'd be a good idea if someone has some...we can do it F&F style haha

I think I have 3.. well atleast I did have 3 I can try to find them though...


oo.. I just bought one of those ez-up canopy tent things so we are not frying to death!
