I'd love to drive up, as long as you guys slow down on the unpaved parts. I can deal with the dust & dirt—kinda—but little paint chips make me unhappy. They shouldn't (chips—and life, for that matter—happen), but they do.

I'm in the same boat, so if you're behind me, you can be sure I'll be driving slow on dirt.

Would be great if you came up!

Not a problem on the dirt roads. As I mentioned, this is not a "spirited" run, but more of a cruise to check out the scenery and some cool old covered bridges.

I hate paint chips also! Hope you can make it!

Thanks guys! I have friends in Exeter, so I'll see if I can come up the day before and leave from there. (I'm really a Miata guy, you know. I've been driving an 8 since February, but I had a '91 BRG, a '9910AE and an '04MSM!)

Talking

New Yorker:

I'm a Miata guy at heart also. Being the President of the local Miata club, it's hard to squeeze time for 8 runs also. This is why I am doing this run, it went over big with the Miata folks so I figured I'd do it for the 8 folks too.

I've had a 90 Mariner and now a 10AE Miata

Glad you can join us for the run...

The run is less than a month away. Looks like we might have almost 10 8's. Please spread the word...

I am going to start a list for folks who mentioned they would attend the run. Please let me know if I missed you via PM or posting up.

Schanks!

I am still a go for this! Hopefully the weather will be great and the leaves will look nice!

I'll be bringing a friend with me to navigate as I am new to New England and this is my first 8 get together. I have a tendancy to be a little shy at first.

Hey Kev,

Just got back from Houston @ 330 am this morning. I am a go for this run barring no catastrophies. I think I have finally figured out a security device for my tail lights so they don't end up mysteriously dissapearing and on another BB 8! Ohh Hey CLAVIUS!

^ By whatever do you mean......... ::whistles inocently::
My brother is no help on answering our question of the legality of the taillights but a friend agreed with me "If they looked factory you could just tell a cop they are and they'll be none the wiser".

Gonna see about bringing a lady friend with me.. hehe.. though might have to use bait of "ya might get a chance to drive my baby...." but I trust her.. wait no.. I lust after her.. I'll admit it hehe..

I'll also have Racing Beat screens installed and clear corners to boot!!

Heartygrain:

Glad you can make the run. The run is kid friendly. We do have some bio breaks on the run, a lunch stop, and depending on time, 2 ice cream stops.

Don't worry about folks driving safely, anyone who drive like an idiot WILL be asked to leave the group. I am organizing this run and don't need the trouble of worrying about folks driving abilities. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this will be a leisurely cruise to check out some cool old covered bridges and some nice fall colors.
