NH RX-8 meet and coastal drive part deux on 3/5/06
RXGRL,
If you don't mind the company of a Green 8, I have a full size futon (surprisingly comfortable for a futon) you, and any company you might have along in your 8, are welcome to crash on. I'm about 1hr from where we are starting out. Although I suspect there are a number of other people who might be closer with a bed to offer, can't remember who all you've met on the past runs!

That being said, if you don't mind me showing up in my Turbo PT Cruiser
, with Bling Bling wheels... I'll still be able to join in the fun... maybe even create some as my alter ego vs. those torque-starved NA rotaries 
you'll be in heehehheheh...
Feast your eyes
on these fat asphalt pulling numbers guys:
Engine Size: 2.4 liters
Horsepower: 180 hp @5200 rpm
Torque: 210 ft-lbs. @2800 rpm
Did I mention it was an automatic??? Opps!

Dude, I can't believe after you and I spending the summer walking those PT Cruisers all over NHIS, you went out and bought one!
I better not see you at the track with that thing. Ok, back to sleep. I should be at the run on the 5th. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Count me in. If I get them done in time, it'll be a great chance to feel out my Koni's and autox alignment I should have by then. Got the front Konis for xmas, hoping to get the rears for my bday! If not, sounds like fun anyways
Kinda OT, but does anyone have a recommendation for a local shop experianced w/ performance shock/strut and alignment work? I'm just outside of Boston.

Cool, send me a PM/email, or just give me a call. As for the Spring run, last I checked it was a definate, and that was just a month or so ago... I suspect we will see more details in another month or so! Should be great fun, hopefully the Mini will make it again.
This run is a beautiful run as well, and looks like we might have a decent turn out dispite the early time frame. I'm looking forward to it!

(Let's see how good you are at remembering names from last year's run )
Oh, Boy... tail between legs... Anyone that know's me, know's I don't have a memory and I'm doing well in the morning when I wake up and remember my name... Let's see, St. Mary would seem to suggest a lady... I only remember us having two lady drivers in my group, and I know both of there names... was this a late night drinking thing :-) I may have had 1 or 2 too many cherries

If my second guess is a bit better, then I hope to see a little American Muscle out to play this year... tagging along somewhere behind that Sunlight Sliver 8 you were in last year!

haha, why thank you for that compliment :-)
if the goat is allowed to come...he should be the tail :-)
Can't wait to see you both in your 8 on the 3rd, and then curising one behind the other this spring!
The run up the coast this spring is a great run. Even if most of us will have our winter sneakers on :0
