...submitted for your consideration:
Mike and I enjoyed a nice drive yesterday trying to map out a great route and activities/eats along the way.
Here's a rough agenda. Feel free to post up feedback.
This year is going to be a hike for some people, but hey, it's all about the cars, so why not have a bunch of driving.
October 16th, Saturday
10:00 meet up off I-93 North shortly after Hooksett tolls (75 cents) at the NH State Liquor store rest stop.
10:30 gather up and head north on 93 toward exit 24 Holderness
11:00ish arrive at exit 24. Short stint through main street, left onto Rt 113 - where the twisties and hills begin!
12:00ish Hour of twisties ends, arrive in Conway area. Stop at Mobil station to park and eat lunch. Subway located adjacent to Mobil. McD's up the road a bit as well.
1:00ish gather up and prepare for cruise on the Kancamagus Rt 112.
2:00ish arrive at end of scenic drive in Lincoln. Keep on 112 and head to Lost River for some cave exploration and all around goofing off.
4:00ish head back to Lincoln for some drinks and eats at the Common Man restaurant
scroll down for Lincoln location ??:00 head home happy.
For reference, the drive south from Lincoln to Manchester is about an hour.
Like I said, lots of driving, but the view is spectacular. Definitely worth it. The cars will love the fresh cool air.
I believe we put around 230 miles on the GL yesterday while plotting things out.
sounds pretty good to me, I think I'm in
sounds like a good day
like I said before i plan on coming up that friday night to cut out some of my driving, would it be a problem if I stayed over sat night also? to split up some of the driving again
I so can't wait, the car is ready to go and its going to be fun with the low end power I picked up

well we get out like at what, 5ish. I dunno how far away you live from NH but I belive its still daylight at 5. Its up to you though, I wouldn't want to drive that long either, especially if ones comming alone. I'll prolly bring my friends.

I live near 3 hours from from Mike and Kim so i want to break my driving up some, plus I have to get home to switch cars then drive an hour and a half back to school
sounds like a good run i got pulled over on the kangamagus<sp> during laconia on my bike with some friends we all got negligent drivin tickets and to go to court ended up costin close to 400 dollars and we could lose our license
if my car is on the road by then i might come up and meet some of you guys

Nice job Kim. There's a chance my golf 4 ball tournament will be cancelled due to lack of interest. If that's the case, I'll be joining you folks.

d'oh!
we did see one cop perched early on the kanc, but that was the only cop we saw all day.
I'm sure there will be enough tourist activity to slow us to the proper speed limit that day, at least on 112. 113 is where the fun is going to be. wee!
Brian, mi casa is uh your house and stuff.
We were pretty sure you'd stay the weekend.
We have more sleep space for more travelers if needed.
Hell we had a guy sleeping on a mattress on our kitchen floor the night of Mike's bachelor party, so there's plenty of room. lol
I'd also like to just make a note that that is a very rough agenda.
We all know how we can get when it comes to stops and standing around outside of the cars chatting.
So obviously things are going to be more leisurely and less structured than the above.
thats sounds like a great day.
and with the majority of the activities ending around 4 or so, i will have plenty of time to get home, shower, change, and head out to work.

no worries, I got my passport, we'll be invincible, just look out for a 5 0 signal from my car or just by seeing me freak out when the radar detector goes off, both ways you all will know
Depending on if I have new tires or not, I may be trailing at the end of the line since I won't be taking corners quite as much as the rest of you.
I wanted to take the Miata up, but it's having a few problems so my parents don't want it traveling so far.

well I have good tires and STB's so I guess I will be upfront 
got to love those corners

watch my svt flip over the sides since my tires suck! 
Matty, is the problem with the Miata something I might be able to help with? I have been collecting the factory repair manuals on CD for the Miatas. I don't think I have their year specifically.
I think we'll be there in our car, it would be fun to have another red roadster for the drive. I'm still dying to see it.
Darn... even though I'm not technically in the CEG midst any more, if I was around, I would have thought about crashing this gig. I'll probably be on vacation and in Chicago/Michigan that weekend.
Nice job, Kim, glad the NE group is still active.
-Peter
Thanks for doing all this organizational work, Kim.
I think I'll head to the get-together. Not only do y'all seem like a fun group, but I'm also not on-call that weekend.

My bone-stock '95 Mystique GS will be joining 98SE near the back of the pack... and I'll be bringing up the rear if I can't get my rear sway-bar fixed by then (busted left bushing).
Po
Ryan - I'll e-mail my dad asking for the symptoms. Something about engine stuttering or bucking under acceleration, I think (not unlike the famous problem I had with the Probe that got misdiagnosed three times), but I'll get more details. I know you've been wanting to see it, we should meet sometime.
I don't think they were quite comfortable with me taking it on such a long trip North anyway so regardless of outcome it will be till another meet that I can bring it.
(I can't even park it in Worcester
it's their baby, haha!)
Peter - would enjoy finally meeting you after all these years, please come!

is that an open invite. depending on my work schedule friday i may be interested to avoid driving up at 4-5am on saturday. and my car will be washed this time (and hopefully zainoed). i dont think i've made a meet yet with a clean car.
Hugo, you are welcome to stay!
If this year will be anything like last year, the cars in the rear will get the best ride. I was in the lead last year and I barely hit 50 at some points, but Kim was farther back and was really booting along to keep up. I suggest if you want a faster ride stay towards the rear. Oh and don't drink too much the night before because the hills and twisties will surley mix our stomachs up!
yeah I stayed in the back to keep all the 'tours together, but with my dogomatic I was having trouble accelerating to keep up. I'm thinking up front is where I'll be this year.

hugh if you want to car pool up let me know, I am going home thursday night to switch cars and will come back to school friday then leave either mid afternoon or evening to avoid traffic
i have good tires this year!!!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!!
no sliding through corners at 35 mph for me.
hahah
Sounds like quite the adventure! Can't wait!
Oct. 16th sounds great for me as of right now........
Sounds like were also gonna have a pretty kick a$$ drive( thanks Mike&Kim), and the stops sound great as well...
Hope to see everyone then, and I hope nothin $hitty comes up to prevent me from goin' again---I'm still pissed I missed the Mod\Maint. meet in june......

oh boy ... hmm.
With the past two rainstorms I discovered a bad leak in my passenger footwell area (from the hood hinges maybe?) ... that might be replacing my hope for new tires assuming it is not immediately fixable.
Are we using two-ways this year again? I finally bought a pair this summer so have a spare if someone needs.

I'm sorry, can you repeat everything again. I wasn't paying attention.
Maybe I should bring my truck up there so I can have them load it with a fork lift at the NH State packey. [redneck alky voice] "Ain't nuttin' better 'en cheap booze"

Funny, I don't really remember that... I think it might have been that darn trip to the library that did me in.
If its not a problem would there be a few square feet for a non-contour owner from CT?
i can likely get a set of two ways also. i really hope it doesnt rain.
I think we can fit all 3 of you CT boys just fine.
my father has a couple 2-ways that I've borrowed before.
If he's not using them that day, I'll try to borrow them for anyone that still needs some. Mike and I have 2 of our own.
Definitely if you have them, bring them (batteries fully charged).
I wish I could go, I would love to meet all of you. But My mom is throwing us a housewarming party that day...
Maybe next year!
I have a set too, the rechargable ones. They have a 5 mile broadcast range.
Sorry gang.....playing golf on 10/16.

Yeah, right! 2nd time this year?
Hi Doug:
Fred and I are playing Passaconnaway on 10/22
Are you interested? $60.00
poo! i have class and then a Rev's game on the 16th. have fun, guys!
not to take away from the fall meet but if anyone can't make it and want to meet up with people come to the dyno meet the following weekend, we have around 9 people running at the moment so we can take a few more and viewers are welcome also
Pretty sure that weekends free for me. I'd like to see everyone again, and a few other people I've yet to meet. Mike and Kim, you guys think you could squeeze one more in your house fri and sat night?
Sure! We're starting to get a few people staying over so all we ask is for people to bring their own pillows and air mattresses and stuff. All are welcome, in fact we are within walking distance of a Cactus Jacks restaurant, which means we could have a few drinks and not have to worry about driving anywhere.
So far it looks like the following people will be staying.
-Brapple
-JSmith Dynamite
-Hmouta
-Kappa2006
We have room for 5 maybe 6 cars in the driveway and unlimited street parking. If lots of people want to stay some can bring tents if they feel like it.
Well, here the list for the cruise as of this morning 10/1. Looks like we'll have 2 Silver SVTs, 3 Red SVTs, 2 Black SVTs, 1 Green SVT, 1 Blue Cougar, 1 Blue SE, 1 Red SE, 1 Mystique, and 1 Red Miata.

Hey Guys,
Just a thought...
Isn't the Liquor store parking area pretty crowded on the weekend mornings? Its been a while, but I know during ski season sometimes the lot is full. With 13 of us, we'll take up a bit of that lot.
I know the convience/location makes it an ideal location to meet though.
You could have people meet on Rt. 93 Exit 10 in the Target parking lot. They still would come up Rt 3 (Everett Turnpike) then take 93 South then Exit 10 (Route 3A North).
do you really think it'll be too crowded? I know it is leaf peeping season and all.
To me the lot seems pretty big, and we'd be in the spots farthest away from the building. I think it's still doable.
Mike and I are going to try to be there earlier than 10, so I think we will be able to save spots if it's starting to look too crowded.
Are we finally going to do color-themed photo shoots this year?

Wow... not too many Mystiques, huh? 
I'm probably the only Asian on the list, too. Way to really feel like a minority!
Just kidding around, y'all. Looking forward to this---I've had the Kangamangus Highway on my to-do list for quite some time.

Goonz - re: your sig ... #9 of 6535? You have one of the first SVTs ever made!
(I thought the first 25 were stored somewhere? Or was that the last 25?)
Dont forget me! It want to go. Unless people from Maine aren't allowed. If thats the case I'll come anyway just to piss everyone off. JK I am planning on coming but I wont need a place to sleep. I need a break and the timing of this meet could not be any better. Rob

sorry, I typed Ray's s/n wrong my b
wlcome aboard Ray!
Even though my golf tournament was cancelled, I'm iffy on this one. I'm prepping the house for sale and need all the spare time I can muster. No firm decision yet though.
ok, I will have a buddy of mine from school coming along
he is from Jersey and would like to see the fall colors
Mike and Kim like I said in pm I think we will be up around 9-10ish friday the 15th
just got in from a warm up drive for next weekend
took about an hour and drove some back roads around school
I so can't wait for this
Apologies for making Goonz adjust the list yet again, but I'm going to have to back out of the meet. My Dad passed away suddenly and there's just a mountain of stuff to take care of, including Mom.
I'll keep lurking on the list and hope to meet y'all at another event.
Po
oh no!, I'm sorry to hear dude
If theres anything we can do to help, just let us know. We'll keep him in our thoughts and prayers

there's been a change of plans for me, I'll still be attending, but driving myself and a friend. I'll just have to lurk at the end of the line of cars so my truck isn't in the way of everyone trying to have fun on the roads.
my friend isn't certain if he is going to go or not
the gf said it was fine and now is like no since she is having friends up from home and wants him around, will have to see
i will be there either way
Jay, you could always catch a ride in someone's 'tour if you don't want to trail behind in the truck.
It's up to you.
Just reserved us a group tour at lost river.
I called out of curiosity to see if they required a reservation and they said it helps them as far as having a tour guide ready, so I'm glad I did it.
We pay when we get there. It's $8.50 per person.

Do they take credit cards?
Just trying to guage how much cash I should bring.
I will find out.
I sent them an email.
Whats Lost River?
me = dummy
go back a couple pages, there was a link posted.
It's a place with natural cave formations and stuff like that you can tour around.
We figured it'd be a nice spot to continue on with enjoyment of New England after our scenic cruise.
Kim, I was wondering if we should bring anything special, like I know a jacket cause its gonna be chilly. My friend with the 2.5 has the 2 way radio so both of us will be in contact incase we lose eachother, but do you have suggestions on preparing for the trip?
Lost river takes credit cards for admission, Matt
Haroon
I'll have to get back to you on a more detailed answer on that.
2-ways and a jacket are definitely good.
some cash, a camera for pictures, and if you're crazy like elky, a change of clothes in case you go for a dip
also tire pressure check, fluid level checks and a full tank of gas come to mind right now.
Anyone else think of anything, feel free to chime in.

Well, it looks as though I will be there, but Karen will not be able to make it.
My nephew who is 15 will be coming with me.
t minus 2 days left!
wicked pumped .. to all in the nashua manchester area people, are you all going in a group? cause I was thinking maybe we can meet up somewhere in manchester and then go as a mini pack..maybe..? I don't even know what roads you all are taking

I haven't had time to get pumped ... had a final exam tuesday and another tomorrow afternoon (thursday). This meet is my end-of-term reward
Same goes to anybody traveling up 395/290 or 146. It'd be nice to go together. Any CT people not going the day before? Ryan?
I still have the crappy old leaky tires on my front wheels, and am actually unsure if I will be able to get new ones (the brand I hoped at least) before the meet. No time to price them out and order my size, so I'm at the will of the stores when I walk in for tires Friday morning!! If no go, then I'll be rolling those curves slowly on crappy leaky tires
aww man..the weather is looking poop for the weekend

no it doesn't, weather.com says 30% chance, that really about 10 to 15%, weather is going to be fine, now friday night on the other hand
at this point I just don't care about what the weather report.
They're so damn wrong all the time (
they've ruined a good number of weekend plans for me this past summer).
We've been through a misty fall meet before and it turned out spectacular. We'll have just as much fun this year too.
Just gotta make your own fun when the sun isn't shining.
Besides, this was the best day we could get a majority of us together, so we definitely gotta make the best of it.

but of course knowing this group
i think we are some of the only people that can make painting interesting
I remember there was a time when some group was studying the effects of weather patterns and why rain seems to happen most often over the weekends. They were trying to link it to smog created by people's daily commutes, or something to that effect. I don't know the outcome of the study, but it sure seems like it rains a lot more often over the weekends.
At least it's going to be warmer than the Applefest '02 meet
I'll gladly take rain if it means we don't freeze!
just to clear it up, we're meeting saturday morning between 10 - 10:30 at the NH Liquor Store Parking lot..gonna hafta get up early for this one

Well, it looks as though I will be there, but Karen will not be able to make it. My nephew who is 15 will be coming with me.
Sorry I'll be missing out on this one, guys! Catch you next time!
About the weather- it's always different in the mountains. It can call for rain in Manchester, yet it's beautiful in the mountains. That's what happened to us when Steve and I went up there over the summer. So, you never know! It'll probably be absolutely perfect!
Have fun (like I have to tell you all that)!

aww 
haven't had a chance to clean up my car yet. It should be ok, although I think the windows probably need a quick cleaning for clear views.
havent cleaned my car since FFW.
but then again it hasn't left tha garage since i moved it here, except for the tasca show.

you didn't clean it even a tiny bit for tasca?
it didnt really need a cleaning.
i just quick detailed it and it was good to go.
I cleaned the carpet in my truck 3 times with the carpet cleaner then the water stopped comming out black and turned a dark brown so I figured that would be enough.
Oh, yea, now that I have my modualr exhaust system should I put the loud one on or the authoritive yet civilized one? Let me know soon cuz I have to leave in a little bit.
doesn't matter to me
whatever you think you're able to put up with for a long drive.
Hey Guys,
Looks like I've got to bail on this one. Last night my best friend discovered her long term boyfriend cheating on her. Needless to say it's going to be an incredibly drunk night. I asked if she'd be interested in going, but she didn't want to.
Yeah, the word marriage was passed around a few times too.
Good news is I always thought she could do alot better.
will be leaving soon, just waiting on work from Hugo and Jay

hey be careful of the rebounding girl that's mourning a long term relationship, especially when she's drunk. don't want to ruin a good friendship with a drunken night of...that's all I gotta say.
seriously though, best of luck to her. I think that's great that you're being there for her, although it seems like we haven't seen you in ages! I've been wanting to see you drive that lil red rocket.
Looks like I should be goin'... I may have to leave early though(not sure yet)......
Now I just gotta get up early and clean my baby, Cuz' unforetunately she has been neglected because I been workin' so much she hasn't gotten the TLC she deserves...

Gods Speed
Guys I'm going to have to be easy on my car during the fun rides. Just got new tires today, and they noted my left side stabilizer link is loose/worn. On top of this my brake fluid was so low that my e-brake light came on driving home from that ... probably a slow leak (I filled the brake fluid right before the CT meet in the spring because it was low then too) but there is really no time to fix whatever might be wrong on both issues.
Accursed final exams ... usurping all my time and leaving lots of last-minute fixes before this meet
my car will be filthy inside and out as well, since it spent the day at Sears today.
!!!!!!!!!!WTF!!!!!!!!!!
sorry all, but now you gotta count me out... Somethin' came up and I gotta head to NYC tomorrow for the rest of the weekend.....
hope to see you all at the next meet. Hope everyone has fun tomorrow.
wish I could be there with ya, but I'll be on a little ride of my own....

13 - you've been forgetting JSmith
I don't know if anyone is going to see this message before the meet begins, but my dad took a look at the RR brake drum again this morning and it's leaking a whooooole lot faster than as thought earlier. There's no way I'm taking this car to the meet.
Thankfully, he offered me his car for the day to take to the meet, so look for me in a black Subaru Forester instead.
hey that was nice of your dad, Matt.
haroon, you should be able to cut out at 2:00 no problem.
That was one of the reasons we ended the cruise in Lincoln too, so that anyone that needed to leave early could just hop on 93 and go south.
see you all there!
goin out now to see if my battery is dead.
then gonna chack the tire pressure.
then i am gonna roll her out front and prepare to depart.
woohoo
i am also leaving early, but most likely not until after the caves.
me likes spelunking!
haha
