If we wanna have a meet, we can have one in Manchester. We can hit Hooters for lunch and then hit Rt 149 to Hillsboro (45min drive). 149 has some great twisties on freshly paved roads.
Let me know if folks are interested and we can plan this up...
PS I know I'm not from MA, but thought I'd throw something out for a late in the season run...

Though I did like but missed the F1 meet up Rotary Amuse threw in Aug. Be great to get something like that going come Spring time like a monthly meet. I wouldnt care if it was with other car groups either.
For the Spring time I'd sooo love to get a Meet & Greet if ya will in Nantasket Beach in Hull. I know it would be far for some of us (a 45min drive for me) but its a decent drive and they've cleaned it up a little bit since last I've been there (dated a girl 10 years ago from there UGH!).
Oh also one more thing.. gonna plant another bug in peoples ear's.. Every year around the 4th of July weekend in CT they have the American LeMans Series race at Lime Rock. They also have the Speed World Challenge tagging along with them. For the past 3 years I keep on missing it due to whatever reason but next year I don't wanna miss it and it would be soooooooo awsome to roll in with a few Rx-8's yanno!? They have a camp ground there on the grounds so I dunno just putting info out there to plant the seeds of plans

I'm drivin my 8 for the winter 
Winter tires/wheels going on in a few weeks. Just going to wait for the real cold snap and then do it. I don't want to burn through my winter tires before it even snows!
I am up for a meet whenever
So is Jeff. We had a good time at our first one.

- 1145climber
- HolyCross05
- my10ae (NH)
- Clavius
- Astral
- KrysyGT + Jeff
if we can get another five or so people, it'd def be worth trying to organize something before it snows... anyone else out there???

I'd be willing to run this gathering if folks are up to it. We could hit Hooters in Manchester, NH off Exit 6 (Rt293) and then take Rt 114 to Rt 149 to Hillsboro. Maybe we could get a Hooters girl(s) to pose next to our 8's?
Thoughts?

Sounds possible depending on when with a few caveats. I've already put my winter tires on (
worn out 235/40/18 RT-615s) and put my others in storage (275/35/18s RT-615s). Purpose was to just have it sit in my garage on them. Seems one is loosing air so I'll have to check it for nails/roadworthiness. Of course no snow and/or too cold weather as I have about 2/32 of psuedo tread on these venerable donuts and I do need to live 
until retirement !
There's always my Turbo PT-Cruiser

Well in MA we have the downside of high denstity population so our roads are pretty straight and usualy very well driven hence no fun. Now in Vt and NH that is a different story. Low Density and very curvy roads that conform to nature instead of barreling through it. I believe I drove up to Vt on Rt81 (correct me if I'm wrong Kev) and omg it was nice.. taking long corners doing about 90mph instead of oh say 50 like you should is oh so sweeeet!!!! That and the highway was pretty much empty the entire drive up and it was on a Friday evening to boot.
For a meet in MA really depends on what ya wanna do, again come spring I'd love a Nantasket Beach Meet. Just a meet to relax enjoy the beach and see who else might of obtained a 8 since summer. Just wish you were older Climber, Holy, Myself and Astral are pretty much all around the same age (21-30) so I'm sure between us we could raise some hell in the Boston area hehe.
Also Climber where do ya live townwise? If ya want PM me lata

good call on that one... no wonder MA roads suck
i have to say, overall, my favorite highway is the merit parkway (spelling?) that heads south to CN/NY... this road isnt twisty or fun to drive really, but its BEAUTIFUL... thats just a side note though.
i live in weston... 20 minutes west of boston...
