Directions to the Gaffney pre-meet:

I - 85 Southbound: Take Exit 92. When you get to the top of the ramp, there will be a traffic light. Turn to the right and immediately, get in the left hand turn only lane. You will come to a traffic light, so obviously, you will be turning left. At the top of the hill is a 4-way stop sign. You will be facing the Texaco station!

I - 85 Northbound: Take Exit 92. When you get to the top of the ramp, there will be a traffic light. Turn to the left. Go straight through the next light. Now, get in the left hand turn only lane, so that you can turn left at the next traffic light. At the top of the hill is a 4-way stop sign. You will be facing the Texaco station!

We will be Leaving the Texaco at 10:30AM. Also, at the top of both exit ramps, you can see the Texaco station. It isn't hard to find!

Alright I am in again! like last time, I will have to work on a saturday.

Is there a pre-meet place like before or is it just straight up meet at big daddys and go from there.

I have screwed my headlights down on the base of the cover so that shouldnt be a problem this time with headlights flying off and hitting other cars;)!

I sold my FC GTU for $4,000 and I bought a red S5 1990 Turbo II that is a project car.

I will drive my FD once again.


Look forward to it!

Dan

Is there any way that you can request that weekend off? If you could, that would be great!

If you guys are coming to Asheville to meet at the Biltmore, you should syop by MR motorcycles. I work there and would love to meet all of the owners in the area. (I live in Saluda NC;)) I won't be able to get off work. I know that for sure as I have been off for about 1 1/2 months already with a bad knee injury.(Just had ACL reconstruction and meniscus cartiledge repair. As well I fractured the top of mt Tibia) So I am just getting back to work this coming week. I think the boss would just shit his paints if I asked for a sat off:D

But anyways, stop by if you are in the asheville area. We could do a pizza lunch there or caravan to Marcos pizza. The absolute best pizza I have ever had. ( I realize that you may have already made plans at different places, just throwing out an idea)

I will keep my ears and eyes peeled for more of your meets. Hopefully later on I can make one. I would also like to say that one of these days I am more than willing to open my house to a rotary meet sometime in late oct, nov. The house is just getting finished up and the driveway needs repair from the heavy equipment that was here. But this is for another day and thread. Just thought i would put it out there since i was thinking of it this morning. Maybe the thread starter can keep me in mind and contact me if this sounds like a fun idea.

Thanks for letting me ramble. I have been cooped up so long inside I am going crazy i think:D

Ow, what on earth did you do to your knee to cause that kind of an injury?!?

Sorry you can't come. I like your pizza idea!, but maybe we could do it for supper or something since we have plans for lunch. Keep us posted and let us know when you want to do the thing at your place!

Rotarycrazy, what do think of doing the pizza instead of Hopps?

Good luck with your new position! I hope you can come down, but I definately understand saving your leave time for Christmas. Prioritys man, prioritys!

ouuuch! :( well, '85GSL-SE asked me to join up in this meet, but i guess i shouldn't. i don't want to ruin anyones mountain drive again.

Skylance 09-18-05 03:35 PM

I was out in town to get some lunch after Church this morning, and I saw a beautiful Champagne colored 1st gen (found out later it was an '83)! I stopped and was about to leave a note under the wiper blade when the owner came out. He bought the car brand new in '83, and has had it all this time! We were just talkin, and I found out that he had never even heard about www.RX7club.com !! So I told him where to find us and about the meet, and he said he would try to make it, but no guarantee! He was a cool dude, I hope he can make it.

rotarycrazy 09-18-05 03:36 PM

You are more than wellcome to showup. Just next time when I ask does anybody need gas dont hesitate to tell me :bigthumb: .

Bah, nobody's mountain drive got "ruined". It was just that we were driving and suddenly realized that we had lost about half the people that were behind us. We waited for close to 1/2 an hr, but nobody ever came as far as we were so we went on. Come to find out, there was just a little lack of communication. So now we want everyone to post their cell phone number up just in case :bigthumb: . If you don't want to, then at least put the numbers posted in your cell's phonebook. So there is no hard feelings or anything, we just need to communicate a little better! :bigthumb:

rotarycrazy 09-18-05 04:06 PM

I totaly agree with you on that Adam.

dregg100 09-18-05 07:52 PM

I was over at Minda's (rotarycrazy's) house yesterday, and we saw this show on the travel channel about treasure. There is a ruby mine in Franklin, NC that is open to the public. Basically you could go there and you get to keep what you find. It is not far from where we would be. The question is, would everyone here be interested in going? If so, please keep in mind that we have no idea what the likelyhood of finding something is. Also, you have to pay to get in, but you do get to keep what you find.

So, tell us what you think. Is that a cool idea for the meet? Or is that something that you would rather not do? We aren't going to go if no one wants to do that, but if enough people want to, we might ride out there.

'85GSL-SE 09-20-05 04:19 PM

My question would be is there a local speedway or road course track that we could all goto one day to test out our cars? I think that would be awsome!

Skylance 09-26-05 01:27 PM

bump - go back to teh top

Um, nothing I know of :mad: . There is a 1/8th track close to where I live, but I don't know if/when they open to the general public.

Skylance 09-26-05 01:31 PM

Ahh, found it! Here it is. It is called Shadyside Dragway.

dregg100 09-26-05 05:34 PM

i was just coming on here to do a bump, but i guess here goes another!!!

chagar 09-28-05 06:20 PM

Robin and I will try to make it; can't commit at this time. Sounds like fun. We will bring our own camera too. As for fast food, pizza is at the top of the list.
