How about a weekend get-together and BBQ at my place in CT? I have lots of parking available in a school lot next door, an even bigger one a mile away too. Decent size yard, and BBQ grill. If everyone brings *something* to eat or drink, there will be plenty for everyone. There are some great twisty roads just down the street too- we could even arrange a ride for everyone... PM me or e-mail direct at jim[dot]leach[at]sulzer[dot]com. I need to get some more miles on my car!  PS BRING PARTS!!!! we can have a nice swap-meet too!!! |  |  | | 02-25-2008, 04:49 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Weymouth, MA Posts: 215 |
This is a very good idea. How far are you from Boston? BTW I am collecting info for a 332ti M3 project. Want to get an idea how much the whole thing would cost me __________________

I am right off of rt 91, at the Mass line. (exit 46 of of 91- then a couple miles to me)
Almost exactly between NY and Boston (sort-of).
From the west, take 90 to 91 south.
From the south-west take 84 to 91.
from the East, take 90 to 91 (or more complicated directions available involving 84 to 190 etc.)
From the North, take 91
It is really quite easy. There are plenty of hotels, shopping etc. in town as well, to keep the other half occupied while the boys play... | | | | | 02-25-2008, 05:17 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Weymouth, MA Posts: 215 |
It's not far just about 120 miles from home. It's still cold out, so we should make it the end of March or April when the temparatures are warmer. I believe the best day of the week is Sunday when most of us are off. If we come up with something we have to set up the date in advance to make sure the people will have time to arrange their schedule. Then we'll spread the word and there you go __________________

Pretty simple, really. I think a Friday-Sunday event is not a bad idea. Show-n-shine, swap meet and scenic/twisty drive...  By the way, your car is HellRot, not HellRod colored... Hell= light, bright (depends on use) and Rot= Red | | | | | 02-25-2008, 05:32 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 |

I need time to rebuild my engine after my timing chain snapped. | | | | | 02-25-2008, 06:55 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 |

I’d drop by Jim but my ti is hurting and shouldn’t be driving it right now. Plus I’ll be in Freedom, NH this weekend working. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Okay March has come and gone so anybody interested in signing up for the meet at J!M's place? Mid or end of April? Need to contact J!M about his schedule. He lives in CT so maybe a NE meet from all the different states.  | | | | | 03-31-2008, 04:12 PM | #11 | | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 |
yep. No interest it seems.
I can provide a place, but others need to be a bit more pro-active too.
I think the enduring cold, miserable weather may have caused a lack of interest lately; however it is warming up... | | | | | 03-31-2008, 04:20 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: Weymouth, MA Posts: 215 |
Count me in if it's Sunday and the weather is good __________________

Id be down if I was within a 10 hour drive, or the country for that matter! Haha.
I hate how nobody on this site is from around here. | | | | | 04-04-2008, 03:58 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 |
