Haha, good call man. Wouldn't want to step on any toes though. Already cool that the Miata guys let you join up.....but I'm sure that people might be a little upset seeing me show up

 

I was just wondering if the run was still taking place? If it is I will probubly be there.

 

Mazdarati:

Unless there is snow flying or on the ground to make drive a hazard, the run will still be on. Where are you coming from?

 

Wow, if my count is correct, including Mazdaratti, we will have 17 cars! That beats the first run! Though considering how new the 8 was at the time... we did pretty well, heck I even remember like 3 of the cars just showed up! That was amazing!

One week to go, what a great run, I can't wait!

 

Hey guys & gals! How time flies THANKFULLY -- did I hear someone mention SPRING - WhooHoo

Fingers crossed for continued global warming and a REMINDER that everyone needs to go get at least one of those $10-$20 2-way radios at Walmart or Radio Shack. We'll sync up channels in North Hampton. Then we can communicate instantly with everyone and with such a lengthy snake of cars - it's about the only way to keep a coherent line, warn of road hazards, and problems with traffic lights, and regulate our passage thru the countryside.

Until the weekend.....

 

Thanks for the reminder I've been meaning to get one for a while, just picked up a two pack at Radio Shack, cuz thats all they had. So, I have a spare if someone wants to claim it to use if you don't have one of your own.

 

MY 10ae I'm comming from Manchester NH. By the way what is the correct type of radio we need to have?

 

Hey all,

My name is Ian and I JUST bought my 04' 8 a week ago today. YAHOO! Although I have found out that OEM tires do absolutely NO GOOD in the snow I just ordered Dunlop M3 Sport Winters to hopefully get me through March. They should be here Tuesday and I will have them mounted this week, so maybe I will be able to join you guys!

I am in Lebanon NH and it would be great to get my new baby out and about. As I am writing this the snow is falling quite heavily outside and we already have 3 of the 8 inches weather.com is predicting.

I told all my snowmobile friends... "Don't worry, after I buy my new car you guys will get snow..." Boy I hate being right!

Send me more info on this little cruise!

Lata! Ian

 

Me too! Me too!!!

 

anything like these - they can be had everywhere http://www.walmart.com/catalog/searc...5&Continue.y=7

 

Mazdaratti and Ian:

If you guys want, we can meet somewhere in Manchester on Sunday am and head over to Hampton Beach together. Let me know if you want and we could meet at Hooters in Manchester. It exit 6 off 293. Let me know if that works and we can set a time.

Kevin

 

Sounds sweet! I know where Hooters is! Killer Cloverleaf exit if you are southbound like me. LOL I will enjoy that corner... We'll see if my new "high performance" snows can handle it! Just set a time! Let me know exactly what radio I should pick up as well. .

The good news is I just looked at the 10 day outlook on weather.com and they are saying it will be 40 degrees?! Ok so 37 - 39.. but either way.. Outstanding!

Here's the 10 Day outlooks:

Hampton Beach Weather Outlook

Old Orchard Beach Weather Outlook

Everyone take it easy on me! This will be my first drive!

PS I have a good buddy of mine in Portland that may be interested in joining but he has a new Nissan Type R Sentra which I hear is pretty badass. Thoughts??

 

Just let me know what time to meet at Hooters.

 

I suggest we meet at the Hooters parking lot and then caravan out to the coast. Lets meet at Hooters at 8:15am to leave at 8:30am. That gives us over an hour to get there and then shoot the breeze while folks arrive.

See you next Sunday at Hooters in Manchester

 

I'm going to try to come next Sunday. The early weather report looks like clear and sunny, and not much in the way of precip between now and then. Do these things usually start and end on time? Ordinarily, I wouldn't care, but I do have to get myself to work mid-afternoon...

 

I'm not sure what time 'on time is' lol! But as we're planning on lunch in Portsmouth, you should have time afterwards to get back, or just skip lunch if it's too tight, timewise. Hope to see you there

 

Sunday at 8:15 sounds good. I just bought my radio. So I'm all set. Does any one know the total of people going yet?

 

8:15 sounds good to me too! I will have to check into getting myself a radio. Where did you get yours?

My wife has to work so I'm trying to find another hot chick to bring! LOL

Yeah weather looks great so far! Hopefully the forcast remains the same or gets better.

I myself am curious about how many people are going as well. What color cars are going to be attending?

I have an 04' Brilliant Black GT 6 Speed. Totally stock. So far!

See you all soon!

Ian

 

I got my radio at Radio Shack. It was $30. My 8 is yellow. See you Sunday.

 

When I first read about the costal drive back in January, I couldn't image waking up my "8" from it's hibernation, so early in the year. I put her up for the winter, just after Thanksgiving.

However, based on the mild winter, all of the possitive responces, and my iching desire to drive it again, I am seriously thinking of joining up with all of you. Sounds like it could be alot of fun.

So, if you can squeeze in another into the long line, then count me in.

 

I think another would be great!

Oh yeah, I wasn't able to find a hot chick that wasn't busy so we all had some eye candy... but you guys can stare at my brother in law if you want! LOL

See you all Sunday!

Kevin, Ratti.... 8:15 sounds good. See ya there!

 

Nipmuck:

You are more than welcome to join us this coming Sunday. Where are you at in NH? A few of us are meeting at the Hooters parking lot in Manchester off exit 6 at 8:15am. Let me know if you wanna meet there and we'll wait for you.

Kevin

 

Kevin,

Thanks for the offer, but I live in New Durhan. So, I will be couming down NH11 and the Spualding Turnpike from the lakes region.

Scott

 

WEATHER UPDATE

Just wanted to let you all know that I have been keeping a close eye on the weather and it could be nasty out for those of us traveling from the north...

But Hampton and OOB still look clear and sunny for Sunday!

 

Hmmm. 10am is rather early for me to be able to get there, but I'm toying with the notion of coming. If I could but figure out exactly where it is, how to get there, and how long to estimate it taking me, from Stoughton, MA (south suburban Boston).
