[RCKSTR]

(the supra would roll in under cover with all the subies:lol:)

I like the idea of a free for all anyway:D

[SubyChick88]

April 12th is Easter FYI

[SubyChick88]

I'm voting for the 19th b/c the 26th is the sunday before all of my final exams.

[RCKSTR]

April 12th is Easter FYI
oops, didn't realize that:lol:

[GC4-RS]

my moms b-day is the 26th, taking her and my stepdad out to keene for the day

[SubyChick88]

oops, didn't realize that:lol:

Its okay! Thats why I pointed it out! I wouldn't have realized unless I had looked at my calendar... nor would I have known that my finals would be on the week of the 26th :eek: SAVE ME!!!!!!

[colin05sti]

[GOT+PSI]

i hope not as i dont want to be turned away at the gates :unamused:

Hey Justin maybe push it back a week or two? i dont want to drive up there NA....

Same here, well except for the NA part.

[im_so_blue]

thats a good idea for a free for all.
Also i dont care personally any sunday works for me even easter lol

But i'll vote for the 19th since i want to help make sure a friend gets to come and be involved :D
Also i say anybody from any state should have the right to join. More the merrier is what i always say.

[RCKSTR]

how about pushing it back like 4-6 weeks so my Supra will definately be here, or atleast have more big meets somewhere later in the summer when my supra will DEFINATELY be here.:spin:

[Instanced]

the 19th works for me. maybe the M will be better by then...... *Tear* I dont think so :(

[RCKSTR]

what happened to the M??

[squeethebee]

I'm down for anyday Justin, sorry for not being helpful, but you know if theres subies there, so am I, LOL
ed

[RCKSTR]

its all good, I've got a pretty good idea of when its going to happen anyway:) just gosta wait for a few others opinoins...

[Instanced]

The M was sick when I got it... and by sick I mean like flu sick... My list of issues:
<>Airbag light is on
<>Horn doesn't work (airbag related I think)
<>ABS light is on
<>Trac Control is off (ABS related)
<>speedometer isn't working (but OBDII picks up speed so its some wire in the dash)
<>rear springs need replacement (have H&R sports just haven't put them on yet)
<>rear tires need replacement
<>all rims need refinishing and balancing (18" Staggered Hamann Motorsport PG1 Rims... SICK!... quoted $300/rim)
<>moonroof won't close (I have it taped because I live in VT and I can do that to an M)
<>needs new interior... was waterlogged when I got it... nice layer of mold all over it.
<>misfire on cylinder 6, could be a coil, haven't tested it... when its warm its fine
<>upper radiator hose will randomly pop off.... missing some of the little nubby things on the fitting on the radiator itself... where the hose gets clamped to... aka new radiator (looking for an aftermarket and all aluminum for better cooling)
<>clutch for the fan
<>possibly the heatercore (pumps out heat but sometimes I can smell coolant... might be from the hose just popping off too though)
lets see what else..... hmmmmm
When I got it I replaced the front springs, tires, waterpump, thermostat, thermostat housing, oil, sparkplugs, airfilter, and I hand cleaned the interior to DEATH... I also pulled a mouse nest about the size of a basketball out of the heater fan.

[im_so_blue]

but you know if theres subies there, so am I, LOL
ed
sounds like something you'd end a movie too

*puts on shades all dramatic like*

Where there's subies... I'll be there
Where there's A turbo spooling. and blow off valve screaming.
I'll be there
And if you hear a subaru rumble quickly coming near....
You know damn well i'll be there. as soon as i park the car :lol:

*walks out all dramatic style into a haze to never be seen again*

yep, Ed could actually pull that movie roll off too:)

[MsSwagglebottom]

hmmm maybe we could ask a local and take some of the more daring subies mudding...april would work for mud bogs....

[MsSwagglebottom]

you know...if you werent afraid of getting your car all.... dirty rofl j/k

[im_so_blue]

haha
if it came to that i got a jeep cherokee i dont care that much about any more (due to not being able to pass inspection and body rotting away)
just tear up some holes with that thing :lol:

[im_so_blue]

Also another idea i know i got the idea for a cruise to dinner in colchester vermont.

But for lunch we should do a BBQ. I am sure we can bum one of the vtc bbq's if mike asks nicely... Or if not i am sure someones got a small charcoal grill or something they can bring along.

Then everyone can go "I can has cheezeburger"
or "i has hotdog"
:lol::rofl:

[bigbobchamp]

I will try to be there. April is already filling up for me though.

[tehsbean]

I could be there any day, hell I'm already there during the week, I just have to get someone to cover for me to be there on a weekend.

[im_so_blue]

give a heads up..
We won't be able to do the App Gap run like i had for a idea.
Me and Subyfreak Mike decided the road is way too bad with pot holes you could lose a car in and frost heaves big enough that you could recreate ken blocks record jump if you wanted to.
So if you still wanted to do a cruise up north we would have to find a alternative route. Such as go back down to rutland and then cross over to RT7 like that.. or just take 89 to exit 16 (colchester)

[RCKSTR]

pot holes ftl:palm:

[im_so_blue]

pot holes ftl:palm:
yea they suck major.
I mean we could still do it probably but we would be crawling trying to dodge em half the time.

[RCKSTR]

I'd rather not bend one of my new wheels:o
I'd be like :palm:

[SubyFr3ak]

I went up one of the mountains a little ways and one spot I crawled over a hole and as I was on the up slope my tow hook on the front hit the pavement and I'm stock ride hight.. :palm::spin:

[Pulski]

Any of the three dates should be doable for me as long as I know ahead of time.

[RCKSTR]

Any of the three dates should be doable for me as long as I know ahead of time.
I'm actually waiting on some info about another meet thats allready planned because I don't want to double book this date with another meet.
so the actuall date of our meet will be chosen very soon:spin:

[GeoffC8]

I vote the saturday the weekend before HIN boston.

VIVA LA GRAFTON!

[Pulski]

And I'm the only one who has a clue what you're on about.

If you do it the 26th, it will rain, just so you know. :lol:

I'll be having a meeting tomorrow with a few others who will be helping me plan this event:D details will follow so stay tuned :up:

I just hope my cars out by the time this meet happens:o

[bigd_wright]

not on easter just because i have 2 lil girls that would be a little pissed off and the wife....forget about it:lol:

[MsSwagglebottom]

has anyone been over the brandon gap into randolph area? im willing to bet its been opened up after the winter by now. great views, some altitude and nice corners

[RCKSTR]

nope, I havn't. do you happen to have pics of the area? good photo shoot location?

[SRTie4k]

Hmm if my SRT is out of the garage by that date, maybe I'll swing by this one.

[MsSwagglebottom]

are you still looking at VTC?

[VTLGT]

Whenever just make a date already!!! Geesh! haha

[RCKSTR]

are you still looking at VTC?
Hopefully...
hey Mike, could you possibly ask your school if the parking lot could be used? if so, can we use it on April the 19th?
as far as I know there arn't any other meets going on that day so this might turn out to be a big event:spin: :D

[RCKSTR]

my car might be done by then :lol:


I hope:o

[-GWOOD-]

wont have the supra by then :( anyone giving rides? :o

Thanks:) it looks like we've gotta date to go with so now its time to start spreading the word but FIRST it'd be nice if we can even use that location:lol:

[SRTie4k]

Hopefully I'll have a pro dyno tune by then.

[RCKSTR]

Hopefully I'll have a pro dyno tune by then.
I'm in the same boat as you then:o my car will be on the road but I'm not sure if it'll be fully tuned by then...
where are you getting dyno tuned at?

[SRTie4k]

I'm in the same boat as you then:o my car will be on the road but I'm not sure if it'll be fully tuned by then...
where are you getting dyno tuned at?

Jannetty Racing in CT. They do SCT dyno tuning on SRT-4's. It'll be a hell of a lot better than the canned email tune I'm running right now. I'm going to have them try to hit 425WHP or thereabouts.

[subastyle]

Where is VTC??

[SRTie4k]

Where is VTC??

in Vermont.

[SubyFr3ak]

I'll make sure I ask them and find out any details... just make sure you do the speed limit on grounds cause its only 15mph ;)

[SubyFr3ak]

Where is VTC??

Randolph Center, VT... you can just google 05061 zip code and its literally right there ;)

[Pulski]

will not ask how you will know this :lol:

Meet, same weekend every year... rained every year but the last one.

[cman7]

I'll make sure I ask them and find out any details... just make sure you do the speed limit on grounds cause its only 15mph ;)

Is it strictly enforced or something?

[RCKSTR]

I'll make sure I ask them and find out any details... just make sure you do the speed limit on grounds cause its only 15mph ;)
allright thanks man:D and yes, I'd like everyone to watch the speed limit once (if) we're there. don't want to get kicked out and have everyone think we're a bunch of asshats :lol:

[RCKSTR]

Where is VTC??
its pretty much in the middle of VT:) its like a 2 hour drive north for me :lol:

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Randolph+Center&state=VT&zipcode=05061

[SubyFr3ak]

allright thanks man:D and yes, I'd like everyone to watch the speed limit once (if) we're there. don't want to get kicked out and have everyone think we're a bunch of asshats :lol:

I'm the only asshat here at the college... I get chased by them every now and again. They need to learn NOT to chase a subaru in a tracker:lol:

[SRTie4k]

I wish they chased you in golf carts. I would make a ruckus for the sole purpose of getting security to chase my SRT in a golf cart.

[SubyChick88]

THAT I WOULD PAY TO SEE! But I'd still feel bad for the guy chasing you in the golf cart...

[bigbobchamp]

So how about that weekend? I gotta start plugging things into the calendar. April is a big month :)

[itsmy04wrx]

I just like the word asshat.

looks like we're going with April 19th, I'm just waiting for the heads up about being able to use VTC or not...
if we are able to it will be April the 19th and its 7 weeks away:spin:

what are the odds of me getting a ride in the Subie for this meet? :D atleast 1 in a million i hope, i like those kinds of odds :)

[RCKSTR]

I've got a feeling I'll be giving out a bunch of rides once my cars back on the road :unamused:...:lol:

[MsSwagglebottom]

http://rustybrain.com/images/haha-asshat.jpg

the only thing interesting i can contribute here...haha

[LRM1981]

I hope its not the 19th, I got to go to a wedding that weekend.

[RsRallyGrl]

19th or 26th. As long as its a Sunday you will have me and Ahzlon. This going to be just a meet? a meet and drive? meet and eat?

[itsmy04wrx]

I've got a feeling I'll be giving out a bunch of rides once my cars back on the road :unamused:...:lol:

You can be sure of it haha.

[adam]

Subscribed... i think i might make the trip ... VT aint to far

[RCKSTR]

that'd be good, we're hoping to have a big turnout but we're still waiting on confirmation of the date. got about 6 1/2 weeks to go...

[bigbobchamp]

Waiting for VTC to get back to you? What if they don't any time soon?

[RCKSTR]

any updates mike?

if vtc doesn't let us know we'll have to find a different location... that school would be perfect though:)
if now vtc, would anyone else from that area have any other ideas?

[im_so_blue]

if vtc doesn't work out... and it might not as i know mikes very busy.. the teachers won't let up on him with the home work stuff.

If at all possiable maybe can set something up where justin can talk to the guy who runs vtc and get permission from the man himself *shrug* just a idea

as for another place near by... Not that is that big. ya got a park and ride but it always in use and i don't think is anywhere near as big enough for what you want even if it was clear.
Best option i can think of is maybe Berlin Mall parking lot like park in the back...
Or Diamond Run Mall in Rutland in the back or something *shrug*
thats the kinda downer about vermont.. There arent many places to hold super sized car meets without cluttering parking lots and such :unamused:

[RCKSTR]

I'll send out a few e-mails and see what I can get :)

[opt_ms3]

I'd be down with VTC, but I really don't have any other ideas. maybe one of the ski resorts if they are closed by then?

[im_so_blue]

I'd be down with VTC, but I really don't have any other ideas. maybe one of the ski resorts if they are closed by then?
can't think of any ski resorts in central vermont with paved parking lots.
Cause i know not everyones gonna wanna pop in on the dirt slinging stones around :P

[02bugeyeoutback]

Yeah i say the 19th i have the 20th off and the 21st is my birthday so that will make it a good three days in a row, plus i will be swapped be then. gigidy.

[RCKSTR]

I've got some conections in the Bond autoparts world... are there any of those stores in your area with decent parking lots?
I've allready got someone making some calls for me...

[RCKSTR]

I've allready got someone making some calls for me...

There is one in Essex with about 10 parking spaces and one in Williston with maybe 40 spaces... :(

The only other places I can think of would be my high school... Mount Mansfield in Jericho or... the Ex-Linens N Things parking lot or the empty employee lot next to it in Williston.

[im_so_blue]

biggest bond auto in central vermont is near barre. They got a alright size parking lot. But if your looking for a big turnout i wouldn't suggest it as it would just clog up their whole parking lot and leave no room for customers.

which town? most of them arn't open on sundays :)

[im_so_blue]

which town? most of them arn't open on sundays :)
oh yea thats right.
This one is in berlin.
My only warning though is be weary of roads. Berlin/Barre are notorious for not taking care of their roads.
so if you bend a rim or lose piece of your body don't say i didn't warn ya :spin:

Berlins open 9-4 on sundays:(

[bigbobchamp]

Are you set on central VT?

What's in Barre? Berlin Mall? There used to be AutoX's there.

[RCKSTR]

thanks for the heads up on the Berlin Mall, I just sent them an email about the event to see if its OK.
don't really want the rent-a-cops kicking us out :lol:

[im_so_blue]

yea pretty set on central vermont as it would be nice for everyone to have a central base to meet up whether ya live in Brattleboro or in saint johnsbury or in burlington, or where ever it maybe.
only thing with berlin is your looking at another 25-30 miles added onto the trip if your coming from the south at any point.

ya I checked out mapquest and either way we'll be driving 1 1/2 to 2 hours anyway :lol: I won't mind the drive if it means that more will be able to show up because of the central location :D
have you been to this mall before?

[im_so_blue]

ya I checked out mapquest and either way we'll be driving 1 1/2 to 2 hours anyway :lol: I won't mind the drive if it means that more will be able to show up because of the central location :D
have you been to this mall before?
yea many times
is it the best mall in vermont? no
but its there lol.
locals call it "The Berlin Hall" cause its so small.

[RCKSTR]

yea many times
is it the best mall in vermont? no
but its there lol.
locals call it "The Berlin Hall" cause its so small.

how are the parking lots though? decent?

[RCKSTR]

Nevermind, I just got a reply from the mall. they need $750 for rental of the parking lot and also need proof of insurance so thats not going to happen :unamused:

So ya, no go for the Berlin Mall...

still need a location:spin:

[im_so_blue]

Diamond run mall lot would be big enough but i am sure they want insurance too.
Infact any place on the size you want most likely is gonna ask for insurance unless its something like VTC where you'll be under the close watch eye of one of its students which is also a volunteer fireman.
Not quite central vermont area but another suggestion which also mike if he can find some free time to help out with is Bristol's highschool lot. Which is pretty big and they seem to not mind stuff like this going on. But bristols along RT7 which is more western vermont then anything. Your just hop skip and jump from NY state.
But once again this involve mike. Other then that i am fresh out of ideas.
I'd punt him but he's so stressed out from all the excess amount of homework his school gives him that its almost useless lol

[SRTie4k]

What about a Walmart somewhere? I'm pretty sure the cops wouldn't care as long as nobody was making a ruckus. Off the top of my head, Williston has a pretty big Walmart parking lot, and Williston itself has lots of places to eat/shop/hang out. Plus Burlington is 10 minutes away.

[GC4-RS]

^ tried to do this in Claremont, they said it was against co. policy. could have been a fib, not sure, this was from the store mgr. but he may have just said that because he didnt like the idea or didnt want to deal with it :shrug:

so wait, its not gonna be at VTC anymore?

[RCKSTR]

so wait, its not gonna be at VTC anymore?

not sure, I still havn't heard back from mike about VTC :up:

[im_so_blue]

well i would have suggested williston/burlington/essex/colchester/winnoski from the begining. Only problem is thats not central vermont. And for someone like even yourself its alot more driving to do to get to then somewhere like Randolph center. Wanna try to make this thing as central as possiable so we can get the most out of it.
So we can get those people from burlington... those people from saint johnsbury those people from barre those people brattleboro those people from bennington and people from rutland. Why stop there? How about Claremont, Keene, Manchester, Concord area new hampshire. maybe some from New york or mass hell even some from canada if you know people to get ahold of. All to a point where they don't have to drive any more then they have to.
Wanna make this the biggest it possiably can be.

The only thing bennificial to it being in the north west region of vermont is if we were actually going with the idea i had of doing the colchester bar/grill with all the rally stuff :D

[GC4-RS]

not sure, I still havn't heard back from mike about VTC :up:

is he the only one that can get permission?

[RCKSTR]

is he the only one that can get permission?
he goes to school there so its much easier for him since he knows who to talk to...

[GC4-RS]

oh ok, because i know someone who goes there too, but she wouldnt be able to attend

[cman7]

If VTC doesn't pan out how about something like a state park in the area. Who needs parking lots when you can park on the grass :D.

[SRTie4k]

***** it, lets just park in the big field across the street from McDonald's right off the exit.

[cman7]

We wont even have to start the bon fire. It will start itself :lol:

[RCKSTR]

***** it, lets just park in the big field across the street from McDonald's right off the exit.

you remember last time like that happended there right? those hippies wouldn't leave and they chained themselves to the concrete block.
Bratt cops show up and the hippies got Tasered :lol:

[LRM1981]

***** it, lets just park in the big field across the street from McDonald's right off the exit.

I'm sure the people who own the driving range wouldn't mind. :lol:

It would actually be the perfect spot though.

[SRTie4k]

you remember last time like that happended there right? those hippies wouldn't leave and they chained themselves to the concrete block.
Bratt cops show up and the hippies got Tasered :lol:

:rofl: I wasn't talking about Brattleboro, but I do remember that now that you remind me. ****ing hippies, rofl.

From what I understand, that guy that sued the cops for it is supposedly a "professional protestor". :lol:

[RCKSTR]

:rofl: I wasn't talking about Brattleboro, but I do remember that now that you remind me. ****ing hippies, rofl.

haha ya that guy used to protest in africa and a few other places overseas, I remember reading he once had a bomb on him at one of the overseas protests :wtf:

[RCKSTR]

I just found out that theres the ucon car show on the same date as our meet. I'm not planning on going to that anyways, too far of a drive.
hopefully we'll have some more updates sooner than later, waiting on some e-mail replys right now...

[cman7]

Any updates?

[RCKSTR]

Any updates?
nope, I've tried 6 different locations and only 2 have responded. Mike hasn't had any luck with vtc either, hell I sent them a message aswell with no response:unamused: I've got a feeling this won't happen this year since the date we had planned on is coming up along with a bunch of other events...

don't really want to double book a date and have it not even be worth it ya know:o

[cman7]

Makes sense, but wasn't the answer I was hoping for. So the state park idea is a no-go? Or even at a ski resort parking lot or something like that.

Quechee gorge is always nice.

[Instanced]

Just move the meet to the circuit city parking lot in williston, no one's there, no one will care. unless you're looking for a more central place to meet.

[GC4-RS]

does it really have to be in Vt?

[Instanced]

This is the VT thread.......though the VT weekly dinner meets thing haven't been in VT since i've joined this forum... so who am I to say ;) haha

VT meet should be in VT.... thats my opinion

[GC4-RS]

:up:

[SubyChick88]

Circuit City in Williston would be fine. No one would bother us as long as we don't bother them and all stay in the Circuit City Parking lot and don't do anything stupid.

[GC4-RS]

^ which one?

[SubyChick88]

^ which one?

By circuit do you mean race track?

[RCKSTR]

Circuit City in Williston would be fine. No one would bother us as long as we don't bother them and all stay in the Circuit City Parking lot and don't do anything stupid.

ya me too, 2 1/2 hour drive is a haul. it'll be even longer for those who live in mass and nh :( and I know theres quite a few people from those states who want to meet up aswell.

on a side note...
(memorial days coming up :D claremont meet???)

[SRTie4k]

Too bad nobody is from white river junction. I bet there are some places there we could meet, and it's mid state.

yes there's gonna be one, not on memorial day tho. i have picked a date but i dont want to announce it yet, only because the date and location are all i have decided on. the time, what were eating and what were doing in general are still TBD.

Justin you have a pm

[SubyFr3ak]

Hey Justin, maybe check to see if we could use a parking lot at Middlebury College?

got ya :up:

[Steez]

Yeah that curcuit city parking lot would work well for me, i think they are done liquidating that place and it may not even be open at all anymore. Idk, its been a while i usually go to best buy now. middleburry college would work for me also.

[im_so_blue]

lol why can't this be later!

could call ahead and raid the crap out of A&W in middlebury vermont.

White River would be cool but question is.... Where.
Where is there a place where we can "legally" do this. Cause your lots most likely are gonna ask for insurance.. insurance i am sure justin doesn't have.
I mean i can come up with a million parking lots we can do but if they are all turning him down for that reason then no bother....

Rutland Area:
Diamond Run Mall, the shopping plaza in rutland with Dicks Sporting Goods and Super Hanafords, the shopping plaza in rutland with walmart and the movie theater and price chopper and few other places, one spot that i think is still out of buisness in the area which might work... Is where weathervane was in rutland. They closed the building and i don't think anything has gone in yet, also you got where home depot and big lots is, Also you got where CVS pharmacy and a few other shops is. and i think thats it for rutland.

In the location where we had in mind (vtc) the only place is the local Shaws in randolph which does have room but *shrug*

Barre:
the plaza with Bond Auto and pizza hutt, Berlin Mall, the plaza with Price Chopper (and where ames use to be), the plaza with Shaws and staples, the plaza with Riteaid, and thats pretty much it

the only place i can think of in white river is where they held the After FX show which is that plaza with the strip bar and the bowling alley

Now if you said west leb area instead despite being in nh.
You got the plaza with walmart and borders and price chopper, the plaza with k-mart and Newbury Comics and various other places, BJ's, the plaza right by Staples, could park in the back of Home Depot, the plaza with Kohls and game stop and jc penny, the plaza by KFC/tacobell.

Actually theres even a spot I bet you could actually get your hands on justin if you asked. The lil parking lot for bus parking thats right behind pizza hutt there. Bus's almost NEVER EVER park back there any more since mcdonalds has such a big ass parking lot. So it never gets used at all.
and theres a great place to eat (atleast to me that is) right there if you guys didn't wanna go to colchester to check out the bar/grill with pastrana's car in it... Weathervane!!! Best damn seafood you'll ever have. (and makes best damn chicken tenders you'll ever have... and fries too!)
I mean theres all kinds of options.. its just what would like to try

[SRTie4k]

I would 2nd West Leb, it's what I was going to recommend initially. It sounds like we have a bunch of NHerites coming anyways, so we may as well call it the Big Twin State Meet.

[Steez]

Dont most ski resorts close like pretty early? Wonder if they would be willing to let some of us met there. the parking lots are huge and the drive up the mountains is usually prime. assuming no snow or ice.

I think i herd of them letting some auto-crosses take place at some. just cone courses.

They have hill climbs every year, but that's not until late in the season, and the snow usually isn't gone from the mountains until around June. The only problem with having a meet at the mountains so early is a lot of the parking lots are dirt, and during the melt become nothing but mud.

It might still happen though, I'm checking with Okemo.

[Steez]

oh nice i didn't even know heh, im guessing a bunch of you guys meet up at the hill climbs when they are going down? I'm def gonna try and go watch that this season. sounds like alot of fun.

[GC4-RS]

I'm checking with Okemo.

any updates?

Just remember... we are hitting frost heave season :unamused::spin:

[GC4-RS]

hey SRT what about using an asphalted section of the autoroads, somwhat close to the lodge and whatnot, have everyone lined up on one lane like //////////////. still leave room for people to get by if they need and nobody has to park in the dirt/mud :shrug: just a thought, seen this at another ski resort once, they had like 30+ cars lined up on the autoroad in front of the lodge, and there wa still plenty of room for randoms to get by. at that time the resort was pretty quiet though.

[SRTie4k]

Unfortunately Okemo doesn't have very many paved lots that are big enough for a bunch of cars.

I'll check with them today to see if this is possible.

[opt_ms3]

what about stowe...brand new lot, sccv had the last autox there

[GC4-RS]

^ stowe wouldnt be too bad for us central-ites, really not that far up 89. but obviously it would be a longer haul for the sutherners :shrug: brand new lot tho, that would be really nice

[bigbobchamp]

The SCCV is an established and insured club.... which makes it a bit less impossible for them to find places. Of course it's still really difficult for them, too.

middlebury is a pretty big haul (A&W is RIDICULOUSLY expensive), what about doing something at lake dunmore/branbury beach and Campersville or the boathouses might be the way to go, than u could take the Brandon gap...great road now that its open for the season. RTE 73 which connects to rte 100 near Rochester

[im_so_blue]

A&W is kinda expensive.. not rediculous... but well worth it. (best a&w of them all since its not exactly owned by the franchise so meaning the owners can tweak the food so it tastes better and such vs franchise owned A&W's)

the only problem though is A&W doesn't have squat for parking unless ya take over the whole place for a time frame.

Trust me ask me subyfreak mike or subychick melanie they were there... Trying to park all those cars.. kinda chaotic lol

The question is... What do you want out of this meet

do you want a big car meet where we can all just hang out bs and all that? and on top of that do you wanna do a lunch or dinner. and/or on top of that is there any attractions or sites you wanna see..

Like for instance what me and subyfreak mike use to do is hold a gap cruise up and over a mountain range. very scenic.. we started and meet up at a parking lot (usually the one in bristol by the highschool) took about a hour or so to do depending on how you drive with stops at the top of the first mountain so you could let the cars cool off and look out at the beautiful mountain ranges. then half way through the trip stop at a scenic site (your choice of 2 beautiful waterfalls kinda going into the woods a lil.) so you could let the brakes cool down and check some beautiful sites out. we would then finish the gap run at A&W to grab a kinda early dinner.

not that i am suggesting we should do this but just to give you a idea of what we can do to make the most out of it.

[cman7]

^ Sounds great! Where can I sign up?

[SubyChick88]

so we're still in a dead zone for a place... A&W isn't that expensive... it cost me like $9.00 for a cheese burger, some fries and a soda... its not like its $50 a head... I dont know we're running out of options for this and no one can agree. I'm bailing.

[subastyle]

^^^ Are you talking in middlebury? Nice ride btw I think ive seen you in essex ctr

[RCKSTR]

as of right no the meets on hold untill further notice since I've still been trying to get permission for some locations but still havn't gotten an answer :unamused: and the dates are coming up quickly...

[GC4-RS]

just a thought, but we could combine it with the claremont meet :shrug:
