Hey Everyone,

I am new to the forum and actually just joined up with the tristate club earlier this week. Gonna try to make it down for the meet this sunday and look forward to meeting some of you there. Just figured I'd post a message up here to let you all know I was coming

I might see you there, I'm thinking about going but my tires are kinda bald, but I drive it hard still and it holds up fine around here on the pkwy.

Just to let you all know, the planned route may change due to some bridge closings, however our stops will be the same. Lets see what everyone thinks on the day.

Chris, sent ya a PM! And am glad that things finally worked out . Now just remember (and this goes to everybody with gf/wife) to call at every stop points that we make, so they feel that we care bout them :p 10:45-11 at exit 11 sounds good to me, now just gotta go and change my oil and wash my car a lil' bit.

I'm going to try to be there guys so you can take a look at the turbo. Right now it's about a 75% chance of me coming.

I joined a coupla weeks ago and'll be coming down from Allentown. Looks like PA Turnpike (I 476) S to I 276 E to US1, less than 1 1/2 hours total. Anyone else heading the same way?

Hey Brian, Chrism and I are meeting up at a resting place at exit 11 on the NJTP around 1045-11 am. I'll be going from bklyn though, instead of queens (stupid verrazzano bridge...$9.00 *grumble*)

What's a good time to arrive at the park (Core Creek)? I assume we're *leaving* the park at 12:45, yes?

Are we gonna park again at Washington's Crossing, or just regoup and head north?

Just curious when/where the best photo op's will be...

I'm coming from NY but running late, is there a second meeting spot after you guys meet up at Core Creek? Let me know what the first stop is please and I'll catch up with you guys there.

Hey all

Thanks for turning up today. Was alot of fun! I did not expect it to be that busy in New Hope, but none the less, I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

I'll have our site updated in the next few days, so if you have any great photos to share, please send them in!

Good meeting everyone today and had a fun drive even with New Hope and the roads being packed... we'll see everyone at the next meet.

Wayne- got seperated form you all on the way to Isaac Newton's and stuck behind someone going 30mph all the way up 29, so ended up there a little late and stayed for a half hour or so and had a few drinks but never saw you and didn't have a number to call

WHERE THE HELL WAS WOODBOURNE RD?!?!?!?!?!

I drove up and down rt 413 for like half an hour and didn't see the damn park! So I went up to new hope myself and saw 2 rx8's there, but neither were with the club.

Wow, what a great group of people. I had a blast today and can't wait to do it again. Being a newbie I wasn't sure what to expect. Thanks to everyone for making today such a success!
