Let's go with 10:00am to meet in Natick then.

Looks like it's going to be a rainless day but a little on the chilly side.

That's the same forecast I saw...high temps somewhere in the mid 40's. Hopefully it'll be rainless so the roads don't get slick.

How many official attendees do we have so far? looks like about 4-6 based on everyone's replies...

I've got 3 recent yes's (within a span of yesterday and today) but I sent some PM's out to those that expressed an interest earlier to double check. So...so far I've got 4.

As far as colors go, I've got - Redline (me), Chrome Silver (jcr847), and 2 black (you and Burnt) If Kevin's still able to go we'll have a Daytona Blue. Now if we can snag a PPW, LS, SS, and BY we'll be all set.

Cool...the LS may be tough to find, but even so, it would make for quite a caravan if we could get one of each color.

I wonder if there's any roadster owners in the area that might want to join in?

I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for the LS in Watertown. He's gutta be around somewhere!

I was thinking about the Roadster earlier and wondering the same thing. Haven't seen any around and have never seen the Roadster in person.

Kevin - you and I can meet up somewhere and drive up to Natick together if you'd like. We can meet up around 9:30 ish? Do you want to meet at 411 Waverly Oaks Road where we met for the last meet?

David - That would be awesome if you could come out and join us! We'll probably drive around for a few hours before calling it quits so we'd wrap up around 12:30-1:00

I'm gonna keep my eye out for the guy in Watertown that has the LS and see if I can get him to come play.

Eek! Yeah, it looks like it's going to be a chilly day. We'll also have to watch out for wet leaves. I did a nice little spin in some today.

I might not be able to make it on sunday. I'm not sure how my flight back is going to work. I really want to get in on a meet though. I missed the huge Conn meet cause I had to work that sat and the NJ one in august cause I left for school two days earlier. Oh well, no promises but I'm goin to try.

JCR847 - What time are you flying back? We should be wrapped up around 12:00, if we take off right at 10:00. Where are you coming from? Maybe we can work something out with the drive to get you back close to home so you won't have to waste time getting back.

As for attendees, so far I've got....

JCR847 (maybe)

Unfortunately MattC can't make it because he's got finals coming up. So it looks like it's just 5 of us, 4 if JCR847 can't make it.

Default Sunday

I would like to join your group Sunday at 10:00 AM. I grew up in South Natick. There are some really nice roads in Sherborn, Natick,
and Wellesley. Send me the info on the final meeting place and time.

Hey Spydr! Glad you're gonna come out and drive with us! Would you like to lead the pack since you know the area better than I do?

Here are the details that I posted previously in the thread regarding the meeting place to begin the ride:

MEETING PLACE (10:00am): Prime Parkway in Natick which is located off of Speen Street near Sam's Club:

From Rt. 9 East - take Speen Street exit by Boston Scientific (on right) and take 1st right at light. Take 1st left and go into Cochicuate Place parking lot.

From Rt. 9 West - follow signs that say Mass Pike (on your right is The Christmas Tree Shop, Newbury Comics, etc.) When you exit Rt. 9 it'll put you onto Speen Street. Take 1st right at light. Take 1st left and go into Cochicuate Place parking lot.

From the Mass Pike East and West - after going through the tolls, take the exit on your left (Wellsley, Natick). When you get off the ramp it'll put you on Rt. 30. Take a right at the lights and get into the left lane. Take a left after your 2nd set of lights (Prime Parkway - Sears is on your right). Go straight after light. Take 1st left and go into Cochicuate Place parking lot.


THE DRIVE: (10am - noon) We don't have a specific route mapped out and were just gonna wing it, but I like the idea of driving around Wellesley, Natick and Sherborn because there are definitely some great roads.

We can probably hit routes like 27, 126, 20, and 117.

I'm aiming for the ride to wrap up around noon so we can probably drive back to the meeting spot at the end so everyone can get home from there.

Don't forget your cameras for photos at the start of the ride and during the ride.
