The 5th New England meet - 10/23/04

[240T man]

October 23rd. Meet starts at 10am. Be here no later than 11am as we'll be leaving to go up north. Plan not to get home until late. If you want to crash here, I've got floor space.

Plan is to take a day trip up to the White Mountains in NH. We MIGHT get to do the Mt Washington Auto Road. It closes early, though, as above ~4000ft, winter comes much sooner and lasts much longer. If you want to do that and it's still open to private vehicles all the way to the summit, have your snow tires on just in case. I'm not counting on this, though, as it's been a pretty cold year overall.

Even if we don't make Mt Washington, there's still lots to do up there. Conway has a lot of stuff to do, and we'll figure something out. After Conway(or the Auto Road if that works out), we could traverse the Kancamangus Highway and return here via I-93.

EDIT - Location is FINAL. We're meeting at the Park 'n Ride at Exit 7 off 101.

DIRECTIONS:
From the WEST: Right at the end of the ramp, and it's your first left.
From the EAST: Left at the end of the ramp, go through the light, it's your first left after the light.

[Rotary_Kid]

My vote would be for the 23'rd. I am busy on the ninth and I definitely won't have my brick yet at that point.

[volvo9]

I'm down. Have to get a date sorted out so I can take it off from work. I just took off the 15-17 for the VCOA meet.

So whatever, make up a date, and if I can't make it don't worry.

[jrocheunh]

im pretty sure the 23rd would work for me...9th definately not.

Im not too sure about the Mt. Washington road though.... maybe i would trek it up with somebody else

[240T man]

If we go for the 23rd, I am almost certain the Auto Road won't happen. It usually closes around that time - and this year has been a cold year.

[jrocheunh]

yes i have alreday heard reports of slushy "wintery mix" by hikers

[Nikki]

Sign me up. I can't wait to meet you guys! :)

[joe90]

23rd rain or shine..Count me in...don`t know with which car yet tough...

[Overboosted745]

Count me and my rolling EPA disaster area in for whichever date that the most people can attend.

[Chigga 744SE]

need postal code!

edit: do we get to get plaster or something? or no stupid activities allowed?

[Overboosted745]

edit: do we get to get plaster or something? or no stupid activities allowed?

Considering the mean age of most of the people @ the last meet was hovering somewhere slightly south of 21, I doubt alcohol consumption will occur.

Add to that, the fact that 90% of us are not from around there and will be driving home afterwards, alcohol isn't a great idea.

Of course, after driving back to Maine I'm probably going to get all kinds of loaded that evening. Anyone that wants to join me thats 21+, feel free.

[240T man]

need postal code!03857

edit: do we get to get plaster or something? or no stupid activities allowed?we really can't do that...if everybody was over 21 and this was an overnighter, I'd be all for it.

[Body Massage]

I just may be up for this....

[Rotary_Kid]

I'd be down to toss back a few after we get back. Maybe us maine folks can get together and drive down in a convoy.

[Volvo242ft]

I am all about a little drive down to the white mountains. I was saying something about that at the last meet, about driving to Acadia on the coast of Maine.
But whatever is cool with me.
I think it should be a little later in the month. I need a little time to get things done before we go.
Let me know. If anyone wants my cell number, pm me, and i will give it to you.

And i am sure i can speak for ryan. But he and I are always up for getting some drinks. If we do, we can crash at my place in Brunswick.

Adios

[Rotary_Kid]

Sign me up. I can't wait to meet you guys! :)


Wait I just noticed this, pardon me while I take a second to clear my head. A female coming to a volvo meet, maybe there is a god...............



Humor, in case anyone missed it. Looking forward to seeing y'all.

[CannonballSDL]

im in! but i just got a 740 and its not going to be ready! i take the 940!

[Greg Wong]

Sounds cool, but I'm not sure if I'll be going yet. Is anybody going to go to the Swedish Car day outside of Boston on October 17? I'll probably be there.

Greg

[CannonballSDL]

im going to Swedish car day too!

[240T man]

We're set for the 23. A Rain Date will be established.

[Citysurf740]

be there for sure, even though my car is running like .... actually is not even running, so Ill make it up there.

[Overboosted745]

FYI, just in case some of you didn't read the Mt. Washington Auto Road website, it costs $18 per car and driver, and if you have adult passengers, its $7 on top of the $18. I don't know about you, but $18 to drive 16 miles is a hell of a toll!

I also especially like this blurb taken from the "limitations" portion of the site: Acura, Honda, Jaguar, Saturn, and Sterling autos with automatic transmissions must show a "1" or "L" on the shifter to be allowed on the Auto Road

Now why do you suppose that is? hehehe.

[240T man]

Not to worry, we're probably not doing that anyways. They close for the season on the 24th, and that's weather permitting. Like I said, it's been a cold year on top of that.

[Chigga 744SE]

not bringing the SE, driving the GTI down there, and party @ CULLEN's

[jrocheunh]

sweet. not i have motivation to clean the car!

PS... Chigga how far of a drive is it for you all the way from mississippi ontario... or whatever its spelled

[240T man]

Mississauga

chigga, sorry there won't be any partying at my place. my mom is rather against drinking. the party is going to be at either Overboosted745's or Volvo242ft's place.

[Rotary_Kid]

Thats right, have to come back to maine for drinking. I know I'll be in for a small volvo oriented party afterwards, one wonders how the room for crashing is situated at the proposed place of our libation. Maybe we can even convince nikki to join us, maybe if we promise not to bring cullen.............

[Antonetta_1986_760TIC]

Room for another? It would be nice to meet up with some fellow Volvo fanatics.

[Overboosted745]

chigga, sorry there won't be any partying at my place. my mom is rather against drinking. the party is going to be at either Overboosted745's or Volvo242ft's place.

My place is open for partying FOR 21 and OLDER ONLY. The reason I say that is because civilians usually only get a ticket / summons for providing alcohol to minors and pay a small fine. I would get that, plus an Article 15 or an LOR... not exactly the kind of 1st impression I want to make on my new CO.

That doesn't mean under 21 can't show up... if you do be prepared to spend the evening at the kiddie table drinking kool-aid and watching my extensive collection of SpongeBob DVD's. I will be checking ID's.

As far as sleeping here goes, there's plenty of space on floors and couches at my place for at least 5... but bring sleeping bags.

[240T man]

hey, I'll show up. I didn't drink a drop of alcohol during the SE meet party, and trust me, they tried to get me to get trashed. to the point of twig saying "here have some coke" when i know he had tequila or something in it (hmmm maybe that's because i watched him put it in there - oh yeah, that's it! :rofl: ) point being, I don't give a flying **** what people think of me, I just go around to have a good time.

[Overboosted745]

hey, I'll show up.

Last time you "showed up" I woke up the next morning missing 1 FPR and 1 intake... and I think my cat was pregnant.

The day I give you directions to my new place is the day hell freezes over. heheheh.

To everyone else: Cullen's not coming, so feel free to bring your girlfriends / pets without fear of losing them to Sir Cullen, the lady killer.

hey ryan, how's banned from attending sound? heheheh :)

edit:// as mentioned, I was going to pay you for the intake with the next $20 i got my hands on, and the fpr was a spare...hmmm, i don't think you had to give me either of those items ;-)

[Rotary_Kid]

Air rescue called, they said that despite a rigorous search they cannot find the phunney in the above post.

[240T man]

Air rescue called, they said that despite a rigorous search they cannot find the phunney in the above post.
what's air rescue doing searching a forum anyway? :-P

[Overboosted745]

I have 2 gas grills and a whole bunch of wood to burn too, so maybe a cookout / bonfire would be in order... with the necessary permits, of course and depending on the weather.

Oh, and the reason I was saying I prefer 21+ is because some of my buddies that will more than likely be showing up are state / county cops. They won't report or arrest anyone but if it turns out that something does go down and it is uncovered that they were there, their careers are over.

Under 21 folks can come if they want like I said above, but don't come expecting to drink.
But this is getting out of hand, this isn't talking about the meet, I'm talking about the informal afterparty.

We'll cross these bridges when we get there. Anyone else that wants to talk about the afterparty, PM me. I'll start a seperate thread when the date gets nearer.

[Chigga 744SE]

21 & over? wtf is that ****? the law does not apply to me. And my speedo has no MPH, so I'll guess my speed limit.

and party @ Cullen's.

couple more of us will come from Ontario, ****ing 10hrs drive, **** YEA!

also, LEGALIZE

[240T man]

chigga: in NH, keep it at/under 120kmh and you shouldn't be bothered. I've gone as fast as 80 (~130kmh) in front of state troopers and they didn't do ****. I wouldn't go 130 if i were you though, i do have in-state plates after all...

[volvo9]

I'm in. I just asked for the day off. And the best part I'LL BE BRINGING MY OWN VOLVO!

[Chigga 744SE]

I'm in. I just asked for the day off. And the best part I'LL BE BRINGING MY OWN VOLVO!

bring da gonja, mesa Canadian, the bayblon bad boyz ought de kuztomz iz baddy bonbylon me on da gonja.

[jrocheunh]

this sounds like it may be fun. lets skip the drive alltogether and have bonfires!

[Rotary_Kid]

what's air rescue doing searching a forum anyway? :-P


Mainly trying to save you from yourself, and apparently failing miserably.

[CannonballSDL]

hey is there going to be a cruze or a parts swap becouse im under 21 and i dont like SpongeBob !

[volvo9]

this sounds like it may be fun. lets skip the drive alltogether and have bonfires!
YEAH!

I'll leave the volvo at home and fill my dads tundra with wood palletes!

[skifreak85353]

So is this meet set in stone on the 23rd??? Cause it would be aweomse if we could do it on the 16th or 30th. :-D But I'll just deal with it. Anybody comming from Vermont?? Thanks

[Rotary_Kid]

23'rd seems to be it, and seems to be good for almost everyone. I'm in, despite the fact that I already spend every day driving several hundred miles, but why not do it on my day off too..............

[jrocheunh]

23'rd seems to be it, and seems to be good for almost everyone. I'm in, despite the fact that I already spend every day driving several hundred miles, but why not do it on my day off too..............

yeah that daily commute to new orleans must be harsh ;)

[Ajax5678]

:beer: um yeas 21..... where I come from it's all legal :-P and i'll be riding with Chigga since my car gets 1 gallon to the mile right now.....

[Body Massage]

I hate alcohol....tastes like pee or burning(yeah Ralph reference!) Anyways, as long as I'm not working mad early the next day, I'd be up for the bonfire.

[Rotary_Kid]

yeah that daily commute to new orleans must be harsh ;)

Very funny wise ass, suppose I should change that since I don't go to school anymore down there. Still drive a ****load daily.

[Overboosted745]

so uhhhhh bump? tap tap tap, is this thing on?

I've gotta know before I start stockpiling the $6 Vodka from the Class Six.

[Rotary_Kid]

Its gotta be on, people are just forgetful, I know I still plan to at least hang out, even if we don't cruise, but cruising would be good too so lets get this going again.

[240T man]

can we get a sticky plz mods? and yes lets get this going again. I'll be up in N. Conway tomorrow so I'll have a look around and see what there is to do then report back here with some options.

[Overboosted745]

Yeah seriously man, this is crap. All of the small West Coast meets get sticky's... I think someone is playing favorites!

Its a west coast conspiracy!! Not even the midwest meets get stickys.

(kindly disregard the sticky about the east coast VCOA meet, it doesn't count, its not far enough east, I promise... seriously).

So I'm heading to the Class Six on base this weekend then.

[Blackbrick]

Did someone say sticky????






<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v50/turbobricksct/Randomweirdness010.jpg">


:-D

[Rotary_Kid]

So where are we going to meet in NH to start our cruise from?

[240T man]

my house, of course.

[Rotary_Kid]

Ok so where is that, is it easy to get to?

[blkaplan]

to bad its at cullens house :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Rotary_Kid]

Well we don't intend to stay there any longer than necessary to gather people up. The plan would be to cruise to Conway, eat, then those of us who are going to Ryan's will probably leave to do so.


Edit: If you have a short range two way radio bring it, if you have spares bring them, if not and you can afford the massive expense(sarcasm) then buy some. It makes this kind of thing far more entertaining and helps prevent people from being lost.

[Body Massage]

I've got the day off, so assuming some other catastrophic event doesn't happen to my car, I'll probably come too

[Rotary_Kid]

Cullen needs to post directions to his house for everyone.

[240T man]

mapquest:

28 ladyslipper dr
newmarket, nh 03857

phone no's if you have trouble:

603 659 8246- home
603 770 3130- cell

[volvo9]

I'm heading out in a few hours. I hope the sun is out tomorrow, I will take lots of pics for everyone.

Edit, ignore the above, wrong thread, lol!

[Rotary_Kid]

Maine folks, do you want to meet up somewhere and go down, maybe exit 11 on the turnpike, I am not sure who of y'all is planning on going.

[240T man]

UPDATE-

I may change the initial meet location from my house to the Park 'n Ride at Exit 7 on 101. It's right off the highway so it's easy to find - and it's on 125 which is one of the roads we'll be taking to get up north anyway. case in point, it's easier to find than my house.

From the west - Exit 7, make a right at the end of the ramp and it's your first left.
From the east - same, but left at the end of the ramp and it's your 2nd left. (obviously you don't want to get back on 101 :-p)

so, keeper or just meet at my house?

[Chigga 744SE]

wherever your sister is.

now, list out exactly what we doing and when.

[Rotary_Kid]

Well the plan seems to be to cruise up to Conway stopping along the way to rest and take pictrures. Have dinner there, then those of us that are going back to maine for party at Ryans, unless he has changed his mind as I would NEVER invite myself to someones house.


Oh and keep the meeting place at your house, at least its a real adress to drive to and easier to mapquest and whatnot.

[240T man]

ha ha ha chigga, you've just reinforced my decision to change the initial meeting place. :)

[jrocheunh]

poor cullen... ladyslipper drive.... newmarket is weird

[Kirby]

I'll fly out if I get to chill with cullens sister

[Rotary_Kid]

Ladyslipper drive eh, sounds fitting.

[Overboosted745]

Wait, Cullen has a sister? this changes everything...

j/k.

Yeah Ben, my place is cool, though the landlord is coming from California that weekend to inspect some of the "improvements" I've made to the place since he last saw it so I'm thinking no bonfire, or at least hold it until he leaves.

I'll see if Jon can keep Peter's 142e for the rest of the week... you guys *need* to see / hear this thing, it's incredible.

me and Ajax probally will come over to Maine and terrorize the place. Expect the unexpected.

[Rotary_Kid]

Just a bump to bring this back to the forefront of things, its almost that time.

[Sterndogg02]

Hey guys,
Been waiting to see if I was going to be around this weekend before confirming but unfortunately I won't be able to make it again...work sh*t with no overtime. :pow:

[240T man]

Location is FINAL. We're meeting at the Park 'n Ride at Exit 7 off 101.

DIRECTIONS:
From the WEST: Right at the end of the ramp, and it's your first left.
From the EAST: Left at the end of the ramp, go through the light, it's your first left after the light.

[roversweed]

i am from north conway so if any one has questions just ask.

[CannonballSDL]

[Nikki]

Yay! I got the time off work..im in! :-D

[Chigga 744SE]

[volvo9]

I'll see all you mother****ers w/my Fast & Furious GTI.
We'll see who's faster, your GTI or my non turbo 744.

[Chigga 744SE]

its not how fast you drive, its how you drive fast.

[joe90]

ok now,

so where is the meet point in the white mountains and at what time we should all get there...

and when/where is the party at?

[240T man]

ok now,

so where is the meet point in the white mountains and at what time we should all get there...

and when/where is the party at?

I have no idea right this second. I suppose we'll meet at the train station aka Conway Senic Railroad's hedquarters and go from there. In any event, call my cell (603 770 3130) when you get in to north conway.

[jrocheunh]

yeah so what time is this starting? things have come up that may prevent my attendance

[jrocheunh]

wow i just noticed my sig pic is sponsored by pro street racing or something... but im not fast... silly them

[240T man]

john email me your sig pic. you'll then have a sig free of any damn overlays. aviationspotter AT comcast DOT net

edit:// also, apparently you went straight to the last post and didn't read the main post. :grrr: :-P it starts at 10am, be here no later than 11am cause that's when we head up to conway. oh and in case you didn't see where we're meeting: the park 'n ride at exit 7 on 101...

[Overboosted745]

ok 10:00am is going to be slightly impossible for me seeing as how ive been drinking since before work ended (vodka and cranberry / apple juice = awesome). Going on hour 5, I'm quickly emptying the fridge of the beer I stocked for tomorrow... blaaaaah.

I'll stagger in late, I'm testing out a GPS unit for the company this weekend so that should be fun.

207-415-8255 is my cell number if its like 11am and I'm not there yet.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaater

-Ryan

[Greg Wong]

I'm not going to making it, but I hope you guys have fun. The strut mounts in my 245 are shot and I don't want things poking through the hood. Boost leak in the 242 that duct tape doesn't work well on.

Greg

[jrocheunh]

well nah i read the whole thing... but 10 seemed early, as speak of late night festivities arose... so i figured maybe it would change.

anywho.... school work and some other things make it impossible for me to come.... again... damn

we'll hafta do another one another time

[CannonballSDL]

sorrys guys my fuel system **** the bed on me. maybe i will see you next time!

[240T man]

That sucks dude, we're having a blast up here in freeport. oh well, next time...

[roversweed]

i had a blast! got to meet some great new people, drive some sweet back roads and put over 500 miles on my car. thanks to all who showed up.

[Rotary_Kid]

Everyone who was there needs to identify themselves cause I have no cross knowledge of people there and people here. I'm ben, black 740.

[Overboosted745]

I'm Ryan, with the 745 that redecorated Shane's front air dam with carbon and oil.

Rear cam seal, turbo oil return, oil breather box o-ring, dipstick o-ring, all leaking. Replaced them all 4 years ago and woo hoo, leaking again. Time to order another oil trap from VLVworld and wait 5 months before it arrives.

[roversweed]

i have the brown 744 with e-codes and oil all over my front spoiler.

[Rotary_Kid]

I had a good time, waiting on the pictures though.
