I'm clear on 1Jun too. This would be a fun trip. I can scare up some old pictures of us rummaging around in Chicks' playground later today. I have a good time when I visit Chick's. Dress is, uhhh, 'casual', guys, with boots.

We might even find some thermostat housing screws on the lone 260 there if we're lucky. And it might be neighborly for us to take a list of other bits our members need, if they can't make it themselves.

Chick's is a bit pricey, even if we take the parts off ourselves. If we need really big items (differentials/driveshafts/gearboxes), they can forklift the car out of the lot and into the garage, where they put it up on a lift and remove the item themselves. That costs more, but you never even get your hands dirty.

OK, June 1 works for Frank, but it's no better for Filipe...does anyone have a preference between May 25th and June 1st? Adam?

I think that's a good idea, but I'd like for the people in this thread to resolve a date beforehand...once that's done, we can post it as an Upcoming Event with a definite date and time.

I (and I assume Frank) are indifferent as between May 25th and June 1st. Adam prefers June 1st. Anyone else like to speak up before we firm up the date? Kevinr? ZjustinZ?

UPDATE: I checked the thread about our visit in 2009...acccording to some of the posts, Chicks is CLOSED ON WEEKENDS...if still true, then we need to start over and plan for a weekday!

- Jim

I can only do the 25th. If majority can go 6/1, I'll just wait for next year.

If it's on a weekend count me in. If it has to be a weekday I might be able to make it.

As I recall, there was some discussion about us being in there on a weekend :roll: :oops: But he said we should call in advance if we want to come out on a Saturday. I will try to contact him tmrw and ask if he still honors that.

Yes Jim, I'm indifferent on those two dates, except that us retired guys would have more money to spend on the first.

Sounds like a plan! If Chicks is open (or will open for us) on Saturday June 1st, let's do it then. If not, let's start figuring a weekday...which would be better: a late morning on a Friday or, at the other extreme, an afternoon on a Monday? I think we should avoid a Friday afternoon or else it might be a LONG drive home for those heading home towards Hartford and Mass.

I spoke with Tony (owner) and he says they're open on Saturdays UNTIL 11AM. That's why we got caught last time. So we have to get there before then and be gone by then if we use Saturdays.

So we'd have to get there by 8am or so in order to have enough time to leisurely make our way through the lot? That would mean that most of us would have to be on our wayy before 7am...not a problem for me, but it might be for others. Perhaps it makes more sense to plan for a weekday. Frank: do you happen to know their weekday hours?

OK, so what happened to this?

Tmrw morning is 01Jun and if we planned a trip, I missed it. Chick's is only open until noon on Sat so I don't think there's enough time now to muster everybody together?

Should we shoot for a weekday? The weekend is supposed to be 92* anyway; not too good for climbing over hot steel in the open sun.
