Sounds good to me. I live in Lower Alabama, so it'd be a nice road trip.

I am from Huntsville, AL. Currently live in Raleigh, NC

I do not get to say this much up here.... Go Auburn

I bet a run up to Mentone, AL would be a blast!!

Cheers,
Roachman

Hey all,
Mentone is an awesome area to test the capabilities of any vehicle. Also down in the Talledega Forest area of Anniston & Oxford.

We just need our cars !!!

Glad y'all responded -- I live in Guntersville, which is inbetween Gadsden & Huntsville.

You may already know this, but when I said I live in Lower Alabama, I was referring to Northwest Florida - the panhandle.

I was up in Oxford over Thanksgiving. We went driving and hiking like 3 days in a row up there. I can't wait to go back with my RX-8.

Hey Roachman, I'm from Huntsville and currently live in Raleigh too. That's an odd coincidence.
Not a big football fan though. What brought you up to Raleigh? I'm getting my Masters at State.

Yes, I am DYING to get my 8 up to Cheaha. I was up there visiting with some family of the friends last Thanksgiving (or maybe it was the one before...), and that's all I've had on my mind since I got my car in July. I really want to get there this fall, since we are moving to Texas in the spring.

FYI...

We are heading down to an event in Montgomery, AL this sunday (11-16-2003) at the MMP..

Its combination of Drag wars and Car show.. We are meeting Sunday Morning off of Pelham/Helena Exit (shell station) around 7:30-8AM.. Yes, its pretty early.. Some of you have church or too hung over to come out.. Its should be a fun event.. We are caravaning down to MMP..

So far 5 RX7's and few local Bham Car enthusiasts will be there..

Sorry.. The caravan time has changed to 9:00 AM on sunday.. 8 was too early for some.. And it will still give us plenty of time to hang out at MMP..

Same location.. well, slightly changed.. Cheveron station across the street from Shell.. Still Helena/Pelham exit.. From there it should be about 80 mile drive..

PM me if you need more info..
