daily driving - how fast did you get? was it two beeps 2nd and 3rd and then on to 4th? or 1st 2nd and onto 3rd?
I know 3rd beep is around 80+..

 

in that video I was up to like 120 before I backed off, ive hit 126 there before and thats what I was going for b/c almost no one is ever on it but I knew that car was in front of me and I didnt wanna risk coming up over the hill going to fast to stop.

The Beeps are 2nd and 3rd gear,

Thanks for watching the vids guys.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what do you mount your camera to?

I'm right off of the Fairdale exit about three miles up National Turnpike :P

 

On another note, I was thinking we should all meet up maybe Friday or Saturday night. We could grab a bite out at a restaurant or something after meeting up. It would be cool to meet some other 8 owners locally. Other than iKorty and some dude up in Indiana, they're all I've met so far. lol. PM me or reply if anyone's interested.

 

I should have time this Friday.

 

Anyone for a winter meet? Never met any of you guys yet. I live out in Crestwood.

 

Crestwood down brownsboro? (ballardsville, w/e) Past coldstream? I'm not too far from you then.

 

cool, anyone else?

 

well Friday is my night off, I live in georgetown so i guess it depends on how far away we meet and if the weather changes to snow lol, but ya that sounds cool.

 

man you are like an hour away from the ville :-/

 

Having a meet?

 

Trying to get one going. seems to be on Friday thus far. Somewhere aroudn 6-7 pm'ish I would assume that would be enough time for everyone to get off work.

 

Sounds good to me...

 

Now we have to decide where.

 

Okay... So lets meet up in the Meijer's Parking lot off of the Gene Snyder - Preston HWY Exit at 07:30PM EST. We'll wait from 7:00 to 8:00PM. We can decide where we want to eat when everyone gets there. If you're running late, just call me on my cell phone at 502-938-0521 (Mike).

Here is the complete address:

Meijer
Preston Hwy
9500 Preston Hwy
Louisville, Kentucky 40229

If you're going East on Snyder, you'll go left off of the Preston HWY exit, it you're going West, you'll take a right onto Preston HWY. After you make the turn from the exit, you'll see Meijer on your left at the first stoplight.

Hope to see you guys there and safe driving!

Man that is one detailed post.
I shall be there.
Hopefully will try to make my car look clean after work.

 

I wish i could come :-( just too far away...

 

Yeah, we'd love to have anyone in the area come.

 

Welp, wish I had seen this thread last week instead of today, but oh well.

I drive a titanium gray, 2004, GT trim. Live near the airport, but spend most of my time over at my fiance's in J'town. If you see me cruising a touch faster than traffic, my apologies...I'm doing pretty good this year...no tickets since Thanksgiving, last year, so woohoo!! Then again, the last one I got in Georgia darn near killed the bank account, so I kinda' calmed down a smidge.

Anyhoo, I saw somewhere prior on the thread about going to the Dragon sometime. That's kind of far, but if y'all are up for a more "local" road, about 2 hours away is the most fun road I've driven on in the cage or on 2 wheels... KY 22 has over 120 curves in 12 miles; it's a killer stretch of road with new asphalt, and really, REALLY lets the '8 show off. (Assuming you aren't still running summer tires right now...)

 

There's news of a meet maybe this saturday at 2... I've messaged the guy asking for permission to post here. We should be hearing from him directly if not I'll go ahead and post the info. I just don't wanna throw it out there without their permission :P Keep posted guys...

 

Hey guys, here is a link to the Mazda 247 post I was referring to about the meet on 11/29. Hope to see you guys there! Address is 6025 Shean Ct, 40291 (Meeting at 2pm).

Click HERE for a Google Maps image of the location

Basically, if you're coming from 64 on the Snyder you would turn right at the exit and then left on Wimsatt Way. Second left on that street is Shean Ct.
If you're coming from I-65 on the Snyder, you would follow the same directions except at the Bardstown exit you would make a left instead of a right.

If there's any questions, you guys are always free to contact me on AIM or Yahoo Messenger. Some of you know my cell too so knock yourselves out. :P

 

kainis2k, cool sig photo, btw. I park in that lot everyday for work...

 

Thanks... I was looking for a better backdrop at the waterfront but I don't get out much so that was the result of that day lol... Where do you work? You should come to some of the meets... I think the last one of the season was last Saturday though...

 

who cares about seasons. lol

 

I will at some point. I was in Virginia last saturday for the holidays; the next month or so just isn't good for adding any extra events at the last minute!!

I work in the building now called the "BB&T Building"... Don't know why we have to call it that since we were here before the bank was, but whatever... Guess when you rent out 3 floors or so, you get to put your name on the building!
