Hi guys,

We are only 6 days away from our drive! Whoohoo! Let's all pray for the weather we had this past weekend. If you haven't noticed, I have made a raindate for the Sunday after, but i'm really hoping we won't need it. So..without further adieu, here are the details of the drive:

"THE MEET"
We will be meeting at 7:30am and aim to be on the road by 8:30am at the latest. Please try to be there no later than 8:00am. We will probably be doing a spoiler wall swap on Tom's car and Dave ('dfinnegan') has generously offered to bring his Hammer in case anyone wants their codes read.

"THE DRIVE"
With the enormous help of Bob ("Bob in NY") we were able to come up with an extraordinary drive for everyone that will surely not disappoint. We will be starting from the Palisades Pkwy and end in Kingston, NY with a great brunch. We will be taking a series of back roads with pictureque backdrops that you will positively enjoy. From Kingston, it is an easy ride back home on the NY Thruway or you can enjoy on your own in the town of Kingston. Please allocate about 2 hrs. for the drive. This is actually a route that the Corvette guys recently mapped out, which Bob happily "tested" out for us this past weekend and he thought it was 'perfect'. So...in case they are reading this, just wanted to thank the Corvette guys. I will be providing a copy of the detailed route to everyone on Sunday, so don't worry about getting lost.

"GOT FOOD?"
We thought what a good idea it would be to cap off the drive with some good food and company, so we will be ending the drive at the The Family Restaurant. They have a breakfast buffet for $10/pp every Sunday. It is a buffet, so you can eat to your heart's (or stomach's) desire. They have ample parking there, so our pride and joys will be safe.

Arrwin,
My wife and I will be joining you at buffet :-)

George 1996 Polar Silver C 2...

Spoiler wall is very simple. I did it without taking anything apart... Its basically a 5 minute job and you just have to partially lower the tail and un-snap the old and snap the new one in its channels.

Spiderv6, I will be driving up from Howell, NJ ... want to meet on the parkway or nj turnpike somewhere prior?

George

Arrwin

Of course! Take a look at my most recent "detailed" post. There is a link for a satellite pic of the meeting spot.

Looking forward to meeting you.

karlusmagnus

Arrwin

Sure thing. No problem. Will you guys be joining us for brunch?

gsxrken

I was alerted to this thread on Pelican when I went to revive a small 2x a year group we have been doing for a few years now. I'll be joining up with you in my 930 if that's not too much trouble.

IamSMC

Yes.

Arrwin

Welcome!

sonett43

It looks like we will attend, if all goes according to plan, it would be my wife and I, plus our 13 month old son, probably in our 1978 911 SC targa.

I confirm later this week.
