If it's raining on Saturday, I'm out. I want to enjoy the drive on a clear sunny day.

You guys see my post number, that's not a good sign for me

Greetings Winchester! Yes, the drive is still on, the meeting time is 11:00 and the McDonalds off exit 47A in Manassas is the place. As the day gets closer, keep an eye out here for a weather call. If it's pouring, enough people will drop out that it won't be worth holding a "formal" drive", so it's usually a last minute call.

I hope it is clear, because the Roadster just isn't as much fun with the top up. Thanks, and I hope to see everyone on Saturday.

I know what you mean man... Trying to milk every last chance with the top off before putting her away for the winter.

Look forward to seeing you there.

It's not worth a wrecked Z IMO...

If the Z gets away AT ALL on skyline you could do some major damage. They aren't just guardrails, they are HUGE STONE WALLS and relatively close to the roadside.

Have fun if y'all go though. BE SAFE!!!

+4 on the Resched. This was supposed to be a scenic drive with lots of stops for pictures and enjoying the view...hard to do in the rain when you're driving in someone's road-wash for several hours...My car may be going to N.C. the weekend of the 21st for..uh..stuff. I may be out for this drive unless the group votes for a November rain-date......

What's everyone else want to do?

Alright, so basically a third of the group has voted to reschedule....Let's do that in the interest of keeping everyone safe, dry and in one piece. If you're thinking, "You bunch of wussies....LET'S DRIVE", by all means proceed at your own risk.

The next question then is....What date do we want to reschedule to? Available dates are

Sunday, October 16th
Saturday, October 22nd
Sunday, October 23rd
Saturday, October 29th
Sunday, October 30th
Sunday, November 6th

The following weekend (Nov 12/13) is available as well, however a bunch of us are heading for Richmond for SuperTuner...

So what works for people?
