Of course my vote is for the shortened version of the twistees cruise we did last spring. I don't know about you guys but I am seriously itching to do some driving. I definitley need to do a spirited driving event versus a just cruising event. We could meet around 9am again for coffee somewhere and then head out. We could do the cruise in a few hours and be back in the cities by 2pm (including a stop for lunch and site seeing). This is my vote.

My Z will be out of commission for at least another month if not two. I normally don't bring her out until May anyway. I'm sure exceptions can be made.

A few guys from acurazine that have TLs. I said would you care if they came? Would make our meet larger and meet some new people. For front wheel fails, some of their cars look pretty sick.

Same here - Got a few projects for my Z that I have put off. Need new brakes and new rear tires. In addition I have a few other upgrades that i have to install.

Bring the TL guys. The more, the merrier... as long as they're not douchebags and will talk our ears off about how they smoked a Mustang...
I've always associated the TL with a more classy crew, so I don't think there will be problems.
So what's the agenda for the meet? Bbq? Cruise? Spirited driving? Where?

An idea that Ben gave me and I modified (yes, it's the winter blues and I had to mod something)....
Why don't we cruise down to Redwing (or Wabasha) and do lunch, take some pics, chill out, etc. People from around that area can come up to meet us.
We could do a Chinese buffet for lunch, Subways, DQ, or whatever. I'm not feelin' the wait time at a sitdown style place. I want to be able to eat, check out the scenery, talk cars, etc without being bothered by a waiter who probably never gets our orders right.
Looks like there's some nice parks and scenic spots around Redwing that we could do some photoshoots. Heck, we should just cruise on in to a local Nissan dealership down there and surprise them.

You know, I've always wanted to go to the Ellington Car Museum up in Rogers. I think I've mentioned that as a destination before. Lots of places to eat around there, and some of the county roads are fun to drive.

Check out the new thread I started on Tech. I was looking at a map and saw some really cool roads in the hills and valleys of Goodhue County outside of Red Wing. Muahahahaha!
Seriously, I'd link you but.... just go check it.

10am - Meet up somewhere in the cities (Maybe at the part in Hastings that we stopped at last spring)
10:30 or so - Head down to Red Wing on hwy 61.
12pm - Grab lunch and take in the scenery, take a few pics and cruise around town.
2pm - (for those that want to continue) head down on hwy 61 to Wabasha and cut over onto hwy 60 for some spirited twistee driving. From here we will head over and then back up on hwy 63 to lake city and then back up on 61 to the cities.
4pm - Arrive back in the cities and then maybe a final cruise around the lake and they stop off for a bbq or something.

I'm offering my house as the staging location for the start. I can have coffee and donuts or bagels if people need to 'gas' up for the trip. And I have clean bathrooms. I'm conveniently near Co 42, and we can take some back roads over to Hastings or wherever. I see all kinds of options. Taking Cedar Ave south all the way to Hwy 50 and cutting east takes us through Farmington and all the way to Hampton and Hwy 80 which eventually turns into 61.
