West Palm Beach gathering Leap Day!!
LEAP DAY GATHERING.............
OK...after seeing some interest for a gathering, here's the plan...
When: SUNDAY, February 29th 2004 @ 4:00 PM
Where: 'The Mall at Wellington Green'
Who: Anyone with rotary interests
Why: Why not.
The Plan: Meet up in a timely manner. After saying hello and introducing ourselves, and posing for pictures (of the cars, not us)we'll file out and go for a spin. We will have decided on a route by then and maps will be available to those without NAV systems (ha!). Probably drive the scenic route, then have an optional second gathering at an area restaurant. Afterwards, we'll disperse and spread the rotary gospel to all who have ears.
Directions: The Mall is at the intersection of Forest Hill BLVD and US 441. From I-95, take the Forest Hill exit WAY west and you'll run into the mall when you hit 441 (duh!). We will meet in the NORTHEAST corner of the grouds....should be visible from the intersection.
What do you do now?: Let's open the discussion to how long/ far we'd like to drive in 'caravan' style, what restaurant we can invade, and that's about it. Plan on washing the car Sunday morning so it's clean and looks good.
As this 'event' draws closer, we should PM Cell phone contact info to make this run smoothly...but that's about it...see you there!!!!

I'm down. My cell# is 561-248-6747 (ask for Jon). I'll have my midpipe installed by then, so you'll hear me coming. :D
Are you talking about meeting in the Barnes & Noble parking lot? The back of the lot (north end)is always pretty empty. Good for pics.

My wife thought I was crazy when I told her about this. I want to go, but my time may be limited to the pics t the mall. At least I'll get to see all the 8's in one place.
BTW, I scratched my 8 today with hangers from the dry cleaner. The first one is the worst, especially since I did it myself. Already put four coats of Zaino on it. Its probably only noticeable to me, but damn, it was stupid.

My friend (who knows how to drive and owns a heavily modified rx7, and may be out there on the leap day gathering) missed a HARD 1-2 shift. Pretty sure it's a bent linkage.

I'm in. My 8 is not. The transmission needs to be torn down. no idea what the specific problem is, or if it's covered yet.
I'll be rollin in the pimpin' sunfire.
We should all go out for a few drinks or something later on. I could use one after this week. On the bright side I was supprised to learn that I get my bonus this week. The timing could not be better. 1000 dollars. Now I'm ballin'.

I'm still not sure if I can ditch the family in time to get there. Is there anyone's cell phone I can call to see where you guys are at in case I can get there but you're not at the mall anymore?

If you're talking about by the olive garden, there's not much parking there. I think a better idea may be to meet in the back part of the lot in front of barnes & noble. Much more parking, and it's more wide open and visible. Right next to forest hill, just west of 441.
