NH RX-8 meet and coastal drive on 2/29/04
 

It has been a few months since our last meet and I figured that now is as good of a time as any to get everyone back together. Hopefully a few of the new owners will show up along with everyone from the last meet.

I was thinking that we could meet on Sunday February 29th at Hampton Beach at 10AM and then head up the coast to Old Orchard Beach. It is a nice twisty road that follows the coast and it should be fairly deserted this time of year. :D

That should give us about an hour long drive up the coast and we can stop at some point to grab lunch. This will also give everyone a chance to hang out with fellow enthusiasts, check out some mods, and get some great photos. It should be fun and you should plan on attending.

I'll be coming down I-89 from Lebanon, NH and going through Manchester on my way to the meet. So if anyone wants to meet up along the way just let me know.

Please reply to this post if your interested in coming to the meet. Thanks!

Tentative list of who is going to the meet.

• DJFishstix
• my10ae
• NAVILESRX8
• RPIRX8 (aka Justin the IT Commando)
• Speed Racer
• Spin9k
• Tigger

P.S. If you own a FRS radio please bring it along as it makes it easier to keep in touch with everyone during the cruise.

I gotta check with the wife-to-be, if its ok with her I'm there!! :)

Roy: We can hookup with whoever else wants to caravan over from Manchester.. :D

I figured as much and maybe poobah and Idle0ne will meet us in Manchester too. ;)

I'm 80% sure I'll make it. It's gonna be a nice drive for my car....probably 2 fillups hahaha

i gotta get my car, but if i have it by then and the roads are clear i will meet. I will keep you posted

idel0ne,

If you're this close to getting a car you might as well tag along even if you haven't picked it up yet. If my girl friend decides to pass on the meet you'd be welcome to ride along with me.

I'm 90% sure I'll be there (providing I dont get sent somewhere for work).

Idle - you can ride along w/me also

Sweet, you've been added to the list.

Let's keep them coming so that we have a bigger turn out than last time! :)

Come on guys. We can get more than 6 people to attend. Who else in the New England area want to get together?

We are even missing some of the people who came last time (i.e. Gyro and Wasy). The last that I heard, Gyro had put his car away for the winter. So I guess we can let him slide this time. ;)

I'm like an hour away....plus you guys want to drive 1 hour further up north...

It's gonna be tough...but I'm gonna make it.

Don't think it's actually a hour back, you can just go jump on I95 and be back to MA in a flash. It's just the coast road is like a snake and twists and turns everywhere along the ocean and so is not fast.

Maybe that helps some!

Hello all, I'm very new to this message board, stumbled upon it a few days ago wail searching Google for radio mods…

I’m in NH and have a Green RX-8, I live just north of West Lebanon, and if things workout, would be interested in meeting up and joining you on the 29th.

Speed Racer, if you are still planning on starting out in the West Lebanon area, and I can make it, I would be grateful to meet up with you and follow you. I haven’t seen any red RX-8’s in the area??? Are you local to the area or just passing through?

Hey Tigger,

Welcome to the board! Yeah, we should be able to meet up in Lebanon and drive down together. I also need to stop in Manchester to meet up with my10ae.

Cool, now that means that there are three RX-8s in the area. I have yet to see the green in person I bet it looks great. It also adds a little variety because the others happen to be red. If you want to meet up before the 29th just send me a PM and we can work out the details.

I tried to pick a central location for all of us. Hampton happens to be about 2 hours away from me but what the heck I love driving my car. ;)

Maybe we can do the next meet closer to Boston.

No problem....It's gonna be great!!

I added a map, to the original post, to show where we will meet at Hampton Beach.

NAVILESRX8,

I will be coming from West Newton, MA (right where masspike and 95 cross). If you want to meet up and make the drive to Hampton together, let me know.

SpeedRacer,

I just noticed that IT Commando thing on the first post. I haven't laughed so hard in weeks :-)

I PM'd you, bro...

RPIRX8,

Just havin' a little fun! So where is your next mission? ;)

Roy:

We still going to use the FRS radio's to communicate? Let me know and I'll bring mine.

Good point, those little radios were great, lets make sure we all try to have them this ride again :) !

Absolutely! They made it a lot easier to communicate with everyone; especially for the people either leading or following up the pack.

So for everyone who is coming, if you have a FRS radio please bring it along. If you don't have one, you can pick one up at Wal-mart, Best Buy, etc... They normally come in a pair for $30+ but I have seen single radios starting at $15.

Well.. Im new..Just got my 8 recently..But I'll try to be there, can't make any promises.

RenesisRotary:

Wow coming up from Long Island... gonna be a long trip but you are more than welcome!!
