Mitsubishi Owners Day -- Oct. 4th -- Normal, IL
a couple more...
the conquest. i love this car. the guy in the picture is a good friend of mine from highschool. he owned a conquest tsi, except BLUE. it had only ~80k miles when purchased, 1986 model, he owned it year 2000/2001. 10k miles were put on it before it died (not sure the cause; we were 16/17 years old, we beat the **** out of it). good times; this car is awesome.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with MOD. I got there at 1:30,
Fist off I really wanted to see the factory so straight away we headed to the factories reception. We noticed we had missed the last tour group by a few minutes so I tried talking to the security guard to see if she'd let us join the tour. "Your missed the last tour" she said. "Can't we catch the group further round the tour", I said. "No missed you're too late". Miserable cow, I'm sure she could have helped us join the group. : mad:
Maybe a burger would help...... yeah maybe not.
After lunch I had a walk round, which took all of 15 minutes. A few nice cars there... it's made me want an X a little more.
Meet up with a few familiar faces. You guys know who you are, it was good to see you as always.
Listened to some Japanese guy do a lame speech. His English was better than my Japanese so I suppose we can give him some credit.
I tried to get a goody bag from the welcome tent but failed miserably. I was trying to explain to the women manning the tent that I got to the even late and I didn't have a blue slip (which I supposedly needed to get a bag). So basically she wouldn't let me have one.... I started to walk away and this guy must have heard the conversation, walked up to me and gave me one of his.... the lady had given him 2 when he went up! So a big thanks to the guy that gave me one of his goody bags. As it turned out the goody bag was totally naff.
Everyone fled once the raffle had been drawn.... and well I wasn't going to stick around.
So yeah it was a 2 hour drive each way from Chicago, I only spent about an hour there. I really wasn't that impressed at all and for me I didn't think it was worth it.
To be honest I thought the open day at AMS was way better.

wow that was awfully disrespectful...they don't charge anything to come in and the food was free. you showed up extremely late and give people **** for not caving in to your demands?? You sound like a miserable person.
