Would like to get SOMETHING going in October...a mini meet for all the local yokels. Looking for feedback on possible locations, and dates.All are welcome, but this will likely be small. Thinking cars, talk, and lunch. Maybe some hiking or biking? Should be the perfect time of year...Two locations I scoped out:Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold, NJAllaire State Park, Farmingdale, NJ

How far is it from NYC?

An hour or so

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish »Two locations I scoped out:Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold, NJAllaire State Park, Farmingdale, NJKeep us updated, Mike. I have been at Allaire biking, but have not tried Turkey Swamp yet.

Turkey Swamp Park is closer to me than Allaire State Park. Oct 22-23 is the only date that does not look good for me right now.

Hey Mike,Not to hijack your thread but why don't you organize a caravan and join us in Montreal like on the first week of October? We can have a mega meet instead of a mini meet? Just a suggestion bro

Well, maybe, but unfortunately, my new job is sapping my funds big time. I'm staying in a hotel for the third time this week because the drive is too exhausting and I have to work late tonight and be back at 5:30 am tonight. Not out of the question, but we'll have to see...Also depends on the car situation...may not wanna put that much mileage on a new car...Psssh..ok, the second is a joke. I'll be excited to show off the new wheels (whenever I get 'em). But the first reason is realistic...money may be a factor...

Let me know. Of course it will depend on what happens with my surgery.

Ok, I'm looking at any of the following dates:Sat 10/8Sun 10/9Fri 10/21Sat 10/22 (no good for m4vibeGT though)let me know what works for you guys!

Any of those works for me. I will need directions though.

As soon as we pick a location.

Well I'm deffinately up for a mini meet....keep me posted....Either location is good for me

Ok, how does Saturday 10/8 look for everyone? Let's agree on a date, then we'll pick a location.

sounds good to me.....you got the solstice??

10/8 looks good to me also.

Sorry to say that the 8th is not looking good for me. Keep me posted though.

Then you can drive down to the Montreal meet, hang out with us and then drive back to your meet the next day

The nineth is a go for me. Looking foward to it.

coolness, count me in

Any other feedback from anyone else???

are we set for this sunday, 10/9? we need time and location.

Since no one else wants to chime in, I'll do the decision making. Meet is THIS SUNDAY, 10/9 at Allaire State Park in Farmingdale, NJ.I went with this park because it looks a bit nicer then TS. If you guys wanna bring bikes, go for it. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to get mine tuned up, it hasn't been used in about 7 years, and I wouldn't dare try to ride it with all the rust on it. Sadly, I'll have to stay behind if you guys hit the trails.We'll meet at the main parking area, near the picnic area, as seen on this map:Time: 11 AM.Directions: From the Garden State Parkway: Exit 98 off the Garden State Parkway to 195 West. Exit 31B off 195.Click here to mapquest it.I'm bringing any crap I have left I'm trying to sell, so bring cash or checkbooks if you think you might be interested. Lunch: On you. I suggest grabbing yourself a sub or something that requires no prep as availability of BBQ grills is unknown. Observe all posted park regulations. No SPEEDING. No LOUD MUSIC. No ALCOHOL. Is everyone still on board?

The weather forecast calls for chance of showers on Sunday. - Are we still on even it its raining?

That's up to the masses. I would probably say it isn't worth it if it's raining, but you all tell me.

I'm up for it. Ill have to check things out as I'm going for surgery on Monday and have to make some arrangements. But I will be there if it won't rain. And no biking for me, shoulder is shot.

Ok, we'll say this is not an all-weather event. Sun only.How about a rain date of Saturday 10/22?

Being as rain is likely, the 22nd is great for me.

i think the 22nd will be better. this weekend will be a complete wash out.same place, same time on the 22nd?

i agree....i just got word i'd be working on 10/9 (way for advanced notice eh?) so i wouldn't be able to make it.....however the 22 looks fine for me...i'd say lets plan for that. I'd hate lookin at all the awesome cars in the rain!

Due to inclement weather, the New Jersey mini meet has been rescheduled for Saturday, 10/22!Same time, same place. Maybe I'll have the new car by then too!

As long as I am feeling ok I'll be there with one arm in a sling. Would love to see your new car.

Just a bump to remind everyone we're still on for the 22nd!Stopped by and checked out the park today, looks nice, should be a nice meet. Anyone else who couldn't make the last dates wanna join us?

Everyone else a go for Saturday?

what time?? biking or hiking??i've got to pick up a set of rims and tires early satursay morning.

I'm all set.

Would love to come down to Jersey but after this long week in DC and flying in late Friday night......another time

yep, i'm a go

Tentative start time of noon...Biking is optional, but I'm not bringing a bike and I believe BOZAK isn't either. Hiking is a possibility. But it might just end up being photo taking and chatting. Depending on whether or not the car is ready Friday or not, I may have to run to Red Bank early in the AM on Saturday...consequently, I might be late. I'll post up on Friday night to let y'all know if we need to shift the start time or not.Anyone up for dinner afterwards? There's bound to be lots around there...By the way guys...I have 4 Toyota oil filters for the 1ZZ engine I obviously don't need anymore...asking $5 per filter...I'll bring them to the meet...Toyota PN: 90915-YZZA2.

I will not be biking. That is certain. Still only have one working arm. Looks like I'll be in this sling till mid November.

Hmm...they're calling for rain again...

NNOOOOOOO! Say it isnt so.

Yup:Sat Oct 22Showers60°/51°POP: 60%

Well, I just checked in with the dealer, they won't have the car on site until this afternoon, and won't be able to turn it over to me until Saturday morning @ 11 AM In addition to typical PDI stuff, I asked them to scotch guard the interior (learned to do that one after my oil slick incident in the vibe ) which requires a 24 hour drying period. SOOOO...If the meet still happens, I won't be there until likely 1 or 2 PM. Just giving you folks a head's up...

So, are we to reschedule the meet again? Will Sunday be a better day, weather wise?

You all are welcome to meet Sunday, however I have to work, so I'd be out.If we wanna delay beyond this weekend, I should have my next month's schedule later on today.

Just keep me posted. If the rain is not to bad I'll be there. I just don't feel confident driving 200 miles round trip with one hand in the rain.

i really wish i could make it. gotta pick up the tires and thenm my family is having BBQ for my mother's birthday.i guess i can't go.

I got good news from the dealer. I can get my new car TOMORROW afternoon instead of Saturday morning, so I can definitely be there for the noon start time if we go ahead.Guys, anyone who is plannign on coming, do we want to forge ahead regardless of rain, or reschedule once again???

If you end up moving the date, I could probably come. Soccer coaching has me tied up on Saturdays.
