What Lot?

vIce^gRip
09-19-2005, 02:42 PM
I think the lots are numbered by preference. If preferred Lot 1 is not open or available then lot 2, etc...

Gambit
09-19-2005, 03:22 PM
someone said something like "across from best buy" I'm sure i'll figure that out when the time comes, best buy's are easy to spot

chrism
09-19-2005, 03:51 PM
this one is huge so no worries....its going to be on your left hand side if your coming from the entrance on 17......

vIce^gRip
09-19-2005, 06:26 PM
OK... After speaking with ChrisM, we have pin-pointed what is what and where the meet will be held on the map. Basically, find the big-arse Best Buy and then look for the dozen or so 8's. Hope this new updated map helps. Me, coming from out of state(s) feels comfortable that I got it on lock, so the rest of you should have it too.

Gambit
09-19-2005, 08:31 PM
pretty picture vice

I think I can handle this map

chrism

Just wondering, what are you guys going to be doing there? I havent been to one of the rx8 meets before, and im coming with my father as well, so i want to know what you guys have done in the past at such meets because i dont want my dad to get bored :p, even though i know its hard to get bored with a dozen other cars that look as good as ours.

Do they usually last for 2 hours?

chrism
09-20-2005, 05:04 PM
some meets can be significantly longer....we hand out....discuss.....check other mods.....some do installs.....depends on the moment....i know for myself personally i will be showing off another new mod if it actually arrives in time......

chrism
09-20-2005, 05:08 PM
hope you guys dont mind but i took the liberty to invite a few 7's too

Have a baby niece's one yr birthday party to attend. Will swing by if not too late. How about a RX-8 meet on autox day? This way, you guys still get to talk shop, but also witness some real actions instead of ricers flying by =D The next one is 10/16 at Giant Stadium!

Gambit
09-21-2005, 04:25 PM
well he doesn't have to actually DO it....just say he will, and at some point in the future, when they go out to dinner, he can say, "remember when I said I'd take you out to dinner if you let me go to that RX-8 meet? Well, this is it!"

flemington is about a half hour-45 mins north of trenton....on the other side of the state

09-22-2005, 12:26 PM
if you guys want to do one in oct, we could meet up at my work around 5 on a sunday here in delaware. on sundays i run our satellite car stereo shop in new castle, like 5 minutes from 95 and the christiana mall. i dont close til 6, but there is a hooters like a minutes walk right up the road from here, we could meet and eat.

TheColonel
09-22-2005, 12:43 PM
Cars, liquor, and boobies... I like the way you think... lol

(Disclaimer: I'm not actually a pig)

You won't make it from Flemington to GSP in an hour. It'll be more like 1.5-1.75hrs.

Chrism, you're right. I don't have a choice... ladies and liquor always come first... :D

flemington is 45 minutes from me
and I am maybe 25-30 minutes away from gsp
but like chris said we dont have to leave at 4pm I thought our meet time would be
from 2-4pm to get there meaning roll call.and stay till the fun ends.

chrism
09-22-2005, 02:18 PM
exactly!.....not like the end of school bell is gonna ring and you will see a flock of 8's shootin out of there!

It starts at 2:)

i'm gonna leave at 12:30 to allow for some getting lost time

TheColonel
09-22-2005, 08:46 PM
If you're coming up the GSP, it's not hard to find.

chrism

starts at 2 to when ever guys.....if you arrive early gambit call me cuz im not too far and ill meet you there

vIce^gRip
09-22-2005, 10:09 PM
Yeah, all the better you are there early if get lost! :) I am heading up to Queens tomorrow late afternoon around 4PM. Even with the rush hr. traffic around here I should be in NY no later than midnight Friday. I will prolly roll out from Queens around 1PM so expect a call around 2PM if I am lost. If not, keep an eye out for the FireTrucks chasing the Flaming 8.

Well, It looks like I will not be going up after all. My friend in Queens has a huge loft but no bed, couch, sheets, pillows, etc... He let me know this today. I called a few hotels and at $100+ per night it just is not worth it. My family in PA has things going on this weekend too, so it seems as if this is an omen that I really am not meant to go up north. :(
Have fun guys... maybe later or next year.

Well I am now thinking about coming up in the morning and getting a room for Saturday night. Any decent hotels near Newark anyone knows of? Something that is nice but not $150/night?

chrism
09-23-2005, 11:06 PM
you dont have to stay in newark.....there are some in carlstadt and east rutherford right by giants stadium that are in the high 80's to 90's like hampton inn and holiday inn

vIce^gRip
09-23-2005, 11:09 PM
Yeah I am looking online now... What about a HoJo in Parsippany? Is that ghettoville? the room is like $50 night? That is so doable... All I need is clean sheets and a secure place fr my 8.

Or a Comfort Inn in Fairfield Essex County? That is only like 12 miles away.

Chris. you wanna call me? give me some ideas. 757.343.3676

Kel Rx8
09-24-2005, 12:37 AM
not at all,well I only say that cause its 2min from my house and parsipanny is no ghetto,decent but its a nice town.
is it on rt 46 ?

just looked at there site and its a place I pass by everyday.its across from a minimall and longhorne restaurant.
the holiday inn 200 ft away from there is the cleanest hotel around its where the canadian family that went to rotorfest with us stayed at and they loved the area.they parked there 2 fd's with no problems and they are looking foward to coming back next year.
let me know if you decide to stay there you can ride with us we. have 3-4 rx8 leaving from my house around 1:30 I live near the HoJo

vIce^gRip
09-24-2005, 01:20 AM
Yup... 625 Route 46 East, Parsippany, NJ 07054, US.
I think I will try to make it... I will try to hit the road by 8AM... that should get me there by 2PM. I am leaving a note for my wife to tell her that I still want to go. It is up to her really as this whole Farking thing has turned into a rollercoaster from hell.
