DC Area Fall Road-Trip 2014

It's that time of year again, one last cruise before most people start putting away the cars for the winter. If you have been along for the cruises before, you know what they are all about. If you have not, check out some of the previous trips (HERE, HERE, HERE ,HERE, HERE, and HERE)

In the Spring we attempted to help out our Maryland faction by having the Cruise in their backyard. Since no MD Rx-7s showed up, we will be going back to where it all started and heading back to Skyline Drive this event. If you are not familiar here is a map from before. The trip is out to the Shenandoah, a cruise along Skyline Drive, then back to Ashburn for some beer at the Lost Rhino Brewery. Here's the MAP.

As per our usual, we will be starting the trip at a breakfast establishment for everyone who is interested to get some grub. This gives us the opportunity to show up at more flexible times. If you want to eat, make sure you are there with enough time to get your bill taken care of before we leave the parking lot. Departure time will be 10am, even if you aren't there for food make sure you are there EARLY. We'll be standing around chatting anyway and if you are late you run the risk of us leaving without you. Then you will have no other choice but to try and catch us up after we've already woken up all the law enforcement with our loud exhausts.

Remember: These meets are more about the people then the cars. Having your car be down for service is part of owning an Rx-7. Feel free to show to the meeting spot and grab a ride along with someone else, or if you want to drive along with us in something else that is cool too.

Once you decide that you are in, vote for the dates you can show. Also, list your screen name and real name below so I can have a running tally of who is showing up.



Who's interested?

****. I just bought a house and I am not available any of those days! I hope everyone has fun!


P.S. My FC has an unknown ignition/fuel issue and I have no idea what's wrong, so it's not operational atm.

Just daily drive it if at all possible Mike, it looks like we're going in November so that should be enough time to get those miles and heat cycles in

...Or break the engine in at the cruise, I've heard that's a good time to do it.

Yep still in the game!!! Took a bit longer to get the new engine in, given all the circumstances, but it is finally done.

Just as soon as I can get my hands on some Idemitsu Oil, I'll be going in for the first oil change, followed by another stretch of miles before the official tune. So no idea on what power I will be making yet.

As far as the cruise goes, I hope it ends up on a day that I can actually make it. I'd hate to miss this again.

I actually called them today and they do not have the 10W30 in stock, so I'll most likely try to find some other synthetic to go with. Plus, having a full case mailed to me would cost and arm and a leg. So best to find a more common synthetic that I can find on the shelf.
