OK #1 problem- website sucks ass. Ive been waiting for this page to load since you posted that on april 17th, its now april 28th. Tough to contact everyone with this slow site. Kork, get on that trailer. Im willing to go up to $2000 for a sweet trailer. We can do a membership thing, but again the best form of communication is this website. We also need to pool up some funds no matter what and get our supplies for the year like we did last year, that worked out well.

Ultimate Question, would you rather drive behind the pickup truck with an open bed with the chance of getting hit by a 6 foot PVC pipe with water bottle attached to the end, a steel generator handle , poorly placed charcoal and grill parts, and all held in the back by a keg full of beer, and a cannister full of highly flammable gasoline, or…… drive behind a spray painted blue van with ridiculous magnets, leaking oil and other various fluids, the high possibility of parts such as muffler, wheel, doors, and/or complete drivetrain falling off at high speed, with 4 blue clad maniacs hanging out the windows bc of the carbon monoxide exhaust problem in the vehicle?

Will a tribute to the greatest QB of all time be on the van in any way? Kerry would love this van.

We have to get Kerry’s face airbrushed on the side… that would be solid. Remember… October is Kerry Collins month.
Dan - there’s an album with your name on it. One day, we’ll look back on these humble pictures of the van and be amazed and what it became.

Van is all set. Runs great (for a 91 van). Here is everything I did;
$500 for the van
Van registration was $170.00 which included sales tax
Super bowl 42 custom plates that say “THEGNP” $68.00
I bought 2 little windows on eBay came to $92.00 eBay item # 180244684097, Kork thinks we can put them in ourselves, so that will save us money. Ill bring the windows on Sunday.
4 new tires, new brakes, new windshield, oil change, air filter, some U bar needed to be replaced, new wires, spark plugs, everything came out to 1600, I have the receipt with everything that was done, I don’t know much about cars.
I had to get the van towed on Sunday, but he towed it for free, replaced a relay and some wires around the battery that was $50 plus I went to auto zone for the parts to save money and bought the parts that was $30. Also put all new bulbs in every light.
Lastly $60 for radiator flush and new antifreeze and new hose.
So everything came to $2570,
The insurance is about 75 a month so to insure it to December comes to 500; we can settle up on this come august.
So $515 each covers us for all the core cost for the van….I think/hope we have a really good van for years to come
We are meeting at the links at Sunday June 15th at 10am…please bring money for Kork.

Seat licenses are official for the new stadium.

Looks like the license will be $1000 for every individual seat. Except for 5000 really good seats which will go up to $20,000

1000 is only for upper deck. All lower level will be more but not determined yet. You guys are lower level guys now.

Hey GNP!
Steve from Canada here. Famous from the KC game in December 2005. I’m trying to organize a trip for some friends and I down for the Seattle game on October 5th 2008. That day is my birthday, so I’m going to want to do it right! What do I need to know about the new set up? Where can I find you? Can anyone suggest the best place to get tickets? What section are you guys in - maybe I can arrange to be in the same area?
Take care,
Looking forward to seeing everyone again and maybe giving Kork a re-match
Steve…

Steve from Toronto!
Glad to hear from you again… always good to see our buddy from the great white north and if you can make it to a game the rematch will be on. Maybe a handle of jack in old double trouble this time?
