What date is this taking place on?? The times look fine. Just wanted to know about the day. My job hunting is looking up so I may still be going.

 

7stock is Saturday the 28th. the Caravan would start on thursday. finding aplash to crash thurday night. connecting with the california folks on friday morning. im getting this worked out on 7club too so like i said times may change depending on when and where their meet point is exactly. also im wondering if we dont just leave like thursday evening 6ish and drive straight thru to where they are meeting just south of sacremento. what do you think?

where is everyone else? dan , kevin ? you guys coming ?

 

I'd prefer evening and driving straight through, but that's just me. I'm more of a night person.

Of course, everything for me right now is contingent on how soon I find out about the new job and if I can get those days off. Not seeing much of a problem, just getting impatient waiting for them to finish up my background check and whatnot.

 

Unless something changes at work or home then I'm going.

 

ohh good would you be intereseted in the normal caravan times posted above give or take?

 

ok so after consulting with the NorCal RX-8 peeps we'll shoot for connecting with them at Santa Nella (in bold below)

looks like I need to be in town due to a project roll out on 10/29

 

That sucks. I'm still waiting on my job. The department supervisors all want to hire me, even offered me more money than I was making before. Checked out all my job references nad approved me. Had me go in and pee for them yesterday. Now waiting for them to complete my background check (which most places do before they offer you a job and make you pee ) and hope they like me. So, hopefully in another week I'll be able to start working and get some money coming in again. Not sure if I should ask for that time off since I would have only been there 1-1/2 weeks at the time I would need to take off.

I'll definitely plan to go next year, though.

 

well i jumped ship and just bought a plane ticket so no caravan for me. Tif, it was looking like you might not be able to go so i figured since i found a flight for under 200 id better take it. sorry if that messes up your plans for going.

 

That's okay. I'm not even sure if I can still go. Still waiting on the background check. If I can, I will still drive down.

Edit: It would have unfair to you if I expected you to not try and make other plans since it still isn't looking so great for my chances. I could afford to go still, but since I haven't started working more than just my part-time job I would have some issues with my bills sooner and it's more important to cover my bills than make an unnecessary trip.

 

Looks like Im doing this thing solo from the NW, just a heads up to see if anyone is going but Im planning to leave early Thursday morning around 1:30 am and drive straight to Socal.

 

christ ur gonna make that drive straight down?!!? >.<

common West Coast! Gotta rep./show pride lol (i used to live just north of Seattle for 3 yrs) Someone join him! the Phoenix caravan is 32 and counting if im not mistaken...

 

FABRO: u meeting up with the Norcal caravan? we'll se ya at the SoCal caravan if ur not zombied out by then ^.^

 

If all else fails for anyone while organizing w/ Norcal or Bay Area caravans, just drive down the night before and join the Socal caravan. 80+ strong ^.^

 

I'll be in the Socal one, Im gonna blue tape my front end now. See you saturday.

 

No seven stock for me. The car is in the shop getting a new motor. Coolant is leaking into the first rotor housing fouling the plugs and causing it to run on only one rotor.

 

^^^WAAAAA [tear]! GL with that!
