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.

 

is this for the wpb ppl only?

 

That sounds cool to me, I hope lots of 8's will go!

 

Let all our '7' buddies in... and where are we going for cocktails? Parrot's on the water?


*edit*

This is open to ALL...

 

Killing me that cant make it as I will be in Vegas. Let's not make this the last one!

 

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.

 

As long as people show up, this won't be the last one. If noone makes it out, we'll do the next one next leap year!

 

Where is this thread? I's not on the SE forum!

Sorry! It's a sticky!! Way cool.

 

I got my midpipe today. It's going on tomorrow. I'm gonna be the baddest sounding 8 out there. :D bwahahahaha!!!!!!! Wait till I get this monster re-tuned.:D

 

Just got word some out of town family coming in that weekend. Doing the Zoo at Dreher Park that Sunday. Hoping to be able to get away but who knows - that really sucks - every other weekend I have NO life - been looking forward to it too. Well, will try my best - if not - let's do it again and I want DETAILS!!!

 

Oh!, my lady...no worries, we'll post pics and have all the gossip for you....but do please try to get out.

 

Bad news. My 8's down for the count. Transmission went. I'll be out there, but I don't know if I'll have my car.

 

"my 8's down for the count"

Oh no....what did you do?

 

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.

 

So....with a few days left...let's see who's in for this weekend....ME!

 

Booster is in Vegas...........

 

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?

 

check earlier in this post. I left mine just in case.

 

I should be there as well. No stage 1 though as I just shipped it back to Canada for upgrading.

 

So which specific part of the mall will we be meeting at?

 

I was thinking the corner closest to the intersection....kinda wide open and visible out there...

 

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.

 

OK
