[XXL HEMI]

I have all this information on Wild Style Forums (http://wildstyle.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=upcoming&action=display&num=1138844279) check it out! The Wild Style meet n greet this month will be held at the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, Cali. We are meeting there at 1pm so John and I will be leaving Castro Valley at 11:30am

http://jellybelly.com/NR/rdonlyres/3A1849B2-1D51-4D74-8BE1-7049820E9FA4/381/fairfield_tour1.jpg

Step into the factory and smell the aroma of chocolate, apricot, cinnamon or pineapple, whatever is being cooked up that day. During the 40-minute walking tour, Jelly Belly guides will show us a real working factory where they cook up over 150 different sweet treats. Learn the secrets to how they create the legendary Jelly Belly bean, and discover why it takes more than a week to make a single bean. See taffy, chocolates, and wild gummi critters in the making, too.

Back in the Visitor Center after the tour, more good times await visitors. Taste for yourself any of our candies and Jelly Belly beans at the Sampling Bar. An exhibition candy kitchen makes hand-dipped chocolates and seasonal sweets, all within view of visitors.

Thanks, Jason.

[XXL HEMI]

Thanks Jason, that helps out too! :rolleyes: :embarrese :yes: :wink:

[ChargerGirl]

I'm coming from Dublin, not sure if the bf is working or not. So count me in, possibly my bf.

We can meet you some place off 680 at 11:30 name the exit and place.

[ChargerGirl]

Don't know of many places just off of 680 nearby that aren't super clogged. Could just drive over to you in Castro.

Or we could meet in Dublin. Just thought of it, sorry. There's a Tower Records across the street from the Stoneridge Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership. The address is 6694 Amador Plaza Rd, Dublin, CA. Its right by an on-ramp for 680 N, north of the 580/680 hairiness. :rolleyes:

[XXL HEMI]

Ok we see you at 11:30 :)

[SRTDogg]

Put me down for me + 2..

I did the tour a year ago and it was pretty cool. It takes about 30-40 mins to go through, and then you get a free sample of Jelly Bellys at the end, and you exit into the gift shop, where more than likely you'll drop another $20 within a few seconds.. :D

Also, did we ever decide what to do about lunch? There will be lots of hungry people when the tour is over. My suggestions would be to find a Nations or something nearby, or else find a park do a BBQ if the weather is decent. The way it has been lately (several days upper 70s), we may be in luck.. :)

[ChargerGirl]

Sweet! See ya then, XXL. Um, John and Terri. LOL. Sorry, the transition between online and real life still trips me up. I'll make introductions when we meet. I'm sure you'll know Scarlett when you see her.

As for food, yeah, I'm up for Nations or BBQ. :) :) :)

[Hell Driver]

count me in :)

[zxe003]

I'm just in Vallejo....could you count me in, tentative? Gotta check with wifey on whether or not her and my son want to go.

[SRTDogg]

I'm just in Vallejo....

Damn, that is nice and close!

Afterparty at zxe003's house!!! :devil: :rolleyes: :devil:

[NYT]

sounds cool, ill be there barring a catastrophe.

[magnumdude]

Wow!! My first post here...Can a Maggie join in on the fun?

[jtfisher63]

I'm sure all LX's are welcome. The more the better in my book. There is a post on lxforums for this meet also. Hope to see you there. Jason.

[NYT]

Wow!! My first post here...Can a Maggie join in on the fun?

of course!


...as long as you park in the corner. :grin: j/k

[magnumdude]

Cool count me in. Mrs'dude wants to go (there is a Walmart nearby) and both of my kids want to do the tour. I'll meet you guys in Dublin.

[jtfisher63]

Add one more to head count for me. We decided to bring our youngest son also. His name is Zach and he is 14 months old. Did we ever decide if we are going to do lunch afterwards? Thanks, Jason.

[blcksrt821]

Sorry everybody about not posting here for a while. It's been crazy the last week or so for me! We should definately get lunch somewhere afterwards. I know there was a couple of places mentioned. Any of those ideas sound good or does anybody else have any suggestions? And I agree the more cars the better! See you guys this weekend.

[NYT]

yeah, im sure some of us that want to go to lunch afterwards can. we can all just roll on over to wherever...i can fit 4 in my charger. ;)

[magnumdude]

I'm sure all LX's are welcome. The more the better in my book. There is a post on lxforums for this meet also. Hope to see you there. Jason.


Could not find it over there. Someone may want to post. Besides we need more magnums.

[jtfisher63]

Here you go http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=24170 . I would like to see a big turn out. As many Charger, Magnums and 300's as possible. Actually I think I will bump the thread on lxforums. See you guys and gals soon. Jason.

[magnumdude]

Let me see if I can stir some interest...I'll post in a bit

[mrg]

OK my wife and I are in for sunday. We'll bring our 3 year grand daughter also. See you guys and gals soon.

Are we all meeting at Tower records? It's kinda a roundabout way for me, but I'm always up for a cruise.

[jtfisher63]

We decided to meet you guys in Dublin. We were going to take 12, but I think through Dublin will be a nicer drive. Plus a road trip is a good thing. See you guys tomorrow. Jason.

Indeed. Nice meeting you MRG, NYT, XXLHemi, ChargerGirl, and the others whose names escape me for now.. :D

Next time let's plan for a nice day and have a BBQ somewhere. There's a nice park right in Dublin, since Dublin seems to be most central to folks. Milpitas works, too. :)

[m1ketro]

Yes it was a great time. Lets do another one soon

Congrats on your Car. What type and Color?

[m1ketro]

Chargergirl.
The ride up to the Factory. Following your car I told my kids I should have waited for the SRT. I love those seats and not to mention the Engine, Wheels, Brakes.

You have an Awesome Car.

I still love my car but Sometimes I wish I would have waited. Following you did not help.

[XXL HEMI]

OK now I am done posting all the photos from todays event. Sorry I took so long but I'm trying to watch movies we rented at the same time. :rolleyes: I will put a few here but you can check them all out on the Wild Style Web Site (http://home.comcast.net/~wildstyleptc/aboutus.html) Make sure to check all the pages as I have them spread out throughout. Thanks everyone for making this a cool tour! We are looking forward to getting together again. When you get the chance, check out the club forums (http://wildstyle.conforums.com/index.cgi) and register and be a part of your local Wild Style car club!

Yeah, we were wondering why you were on my tail so much. :wave:

No sweat. I'm jealous of how much more customizable the RTs are. I know I could modify mine, but it feels weird in light of how much I'm already paying for her and how rare-ish she is. I figure if I had an RT, I'd be comfortable making her more unique. Anyway, bottom line, mutual admiration here. :grin:

[XXL HEMI]

Thanks everyone for coming. It was a good day filled with good friends. Lots of great pictures.

Yeah, same here! I'm working on my wishlist now and looking forward to the next meet! :wave:

[zxe003]

It was great meeting you all....definitely keep me posted on future events!

[mechanicjack]

man i wish i could of made it!!!! i got stuck playing in the snow in the santa cruz mountians.. we should have a meet in santa cruz and then take a drive down HWY-1 along the coast... ??? maby??? or how about going to Sacramento raceway to have a gruge night of drag racing? .. just throwing out some ideas..

[SRTDogg]

Next time I vote for San Jose area, Monterey area, SF area, or perhaps Castro Valley area...

We should also plan on having a Nor*Cal BBQ on Mount Diablo sometime in the summer.. There's a sweet picnic area about 3/4 of the way up, which has a huuge parking lot where we can all park together and get some awesome aerial shots overlooking the valleys.. :D

[jtfisher63]

Sounds good to me. Jason.

[NYT]

im down for grudge night. think it would be cool seeing srts out there. not to mention our lowly rts. :razz:

[jtfisher63]

If we went to Sac raceway that would give me incentive to get my GTX going. I could run my GTX and my wife could run her R/T. Jason.

[mechanicjack]

well i called Sac raceway and the recording said racing is on wednesday nights 5-10pm and its $8.. but then i looked online and it said that gruge night is on saturday night???? so im not sure, but id love to go out there and have some fun, eat some nachos, and drink a beer.. beer after i run of course..

[blcksrt821]

Wednesday nights are ET bracket racing and its usually like 15 dollars to race and 8 to watch. Grudge nights are usually on Saturday nights but its more money. Not sure how much but test and tune nights are usually about 50 dollars or so. It would be fun for one of those nights though! Well have to see if we can get that going.

[magnumdude]

You guys (and gals) should check out LXforums. Find the thread GIFO4.. we have done 3 dyno tests testing intakes, cats, headers, etc. After we all have dinner and go to Sac to play. #4 is in the works right now.

[Gonzo18]

Can we please do a meet on a Saturday? Some of us have to work on Sundays!! :sad:

[mrg]

Thanks to XXL Hemi and his better half for putting on this ride. The wife and I had a great time meeting new people and talking mods. The photos were good but I think there must have been something wrong with the camera. The pictures made me look old.
We are diffinetly ready for the next ride. Looking forward to seeing all of you again.

[NYT]

where did u get ur name mrg? i have a friend who goes by the same name...mobile repair guy. haha.

[XXL HEMI]

I know this is the place for all of us Charger owners to meet new people and all but you should also check out Wild Style website and forums for the locals. I try to post stuff here as much as possible but I do run the club so I am always busy keeping the forums and site going. John is on here all the time so he fill me in too. For more meets/ cruises etc please come over to Wild Style and register and post ideas for cruises meets and all and I will more than be happy to set up as much as possible. I am always looking for motivated people to help me out as well. We have a pancake breakfast I just posted today for this Sunday if anyone is game? We can cruise afterwards too as well. Check out the Forums and see the thread here! (http://wildstyle.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=upcoming&action=display&num=1140644271)

[mrg]

where did u get ur name mrg? i have a friend who goes by the same name...mobile repair guy. haha.

My first intial, wifes first intial and intial of our last name. Kinda boring. I should change it I suppose. We use redht68 for our camaro. I'll come up with something better for use on this forum. Once again it was a great M&G and the people were great.

[magnumdude]

OK guys and gals, Time to give this a bump. I had a great time and want to see you all again at Irvine. Check out the threads for the march meet. It's gonna be awesome!! We are leaving 580-5 around 6ish on Fri March 24. Don't miss out!!!
