19th June Milford NJ

[BruceBowker]

Now all set for a run, drive, blat, tour June 19th starting in Milford NJ at 10 am.

Hope quite a few can make this new date

(Sorry for the 12th but all have said too much chance of rain)

[Boxologist]

I'll free my schedule.

[Bster13]

Subscribed..hoping to get a ride in a seven as a future owner. I am in Norwalk, CT.

[Croc]

If I dont get sent to Korea next week on business then count me in. No family events to distract me this time either.

Bster - I think I have a passenger seat available for you. There will probably also be others to try ouy

[Bster13]

Looking forward to it, thanks for the offer Croc. I might be the weirdo with a helmet on (Haven't decided yet. Can't help it, I used to feel naked on the bike w/out one :p). but I'll be there. :)

Its ok I have a windscreen and if necessary side curtains or the perspex wings - you will not need a helmet. I drive ok - I have only ever hit one skunk although I have hit about 5 kangaroos in my driving career. Anyway it is Boxologist you have to watch for. He tries to maim his passengers with cones! :p

[BruceBowker]

The long range weather call for 60% chance of rain!!!! Sunday the 20th down to nothing.

SOOOO can we keep the 20th open as an alternate date.



Bruce

[Bster13]

That is Father's day and I will not be able to make it. If the drive moves to that day, I'll have to catch another ride. :)

[BruceBowker]

As June 19th gets closer I'll keep checking the weather. Hopefully chance of rain will go down to zero.

[Boxologist]

not seeing any effects of rain today or in teh forecast for the 19th. Unless there is a storm coming thru by lunchtime at least, there will be se7ens driving somewhere. It is summer in the northeast, it would be foolish not to expect scatter showers in the afternoon when the weather is hot and humid.

[BruceBowker]

I was out for about 4 hours total today. Great drives. I think (hope) next Saturday will be the same. If we start around 10 am give or take, we should be back by noonish for lunch and anyone needing to head back can if it looks like afternoon rain.

Hope to see at least 7 Sevens.

Bruce

[EviLRome0]

will try to make it out with the miatalite!

[BruceBowker]

Excellent. So far the weather looks OK.

[Croc]

I did not end up in Korea this week so I am a go for Saturday. Lets hope the weather holds - looks ok as of this morning's forecast.



Bruce - what is your email address? I have the scanned route directions from the LEO Group run in May which was very good run around the Milford area. I wanted to give you ideas for your route planning this weekend.

[Bster13]

If anyone is up for sharing the route, I have knowledge of the area from my years of motorcycling. Whatever the route though, I'm psyched! :)

[S1Steve]

I can't be the only local guy not going, so I'll try to change my plans alittle.
Mike ( Croc) is working the e-mails to drag everybody off the couch.
I am not bringing the doors or top, because it's NOT GOING TO RAIN !!!
Look forward to seeing everyone Sat.

[Bster13]

Can someone confirm the meetup location and perhaps name of gas station?

meet up and gas at the station at exit 15 off I-78@ 9:45?

[Croc]

I would suggest 9.30am at exit 15. It takes some time to get to Milford from there.

When you come off I-78 at exit 15 at the traffic lights at the end of the ramp there is a gas station on the right hand side at the lights. I think it is a Shell but dont hold me to it. There is only 1 gas station and it is plainly visible - you really cannot miss it.

[Bster13]

U have a good memory...confirmed, it's a Shell. :iagree:

[Boxologist]

i wished we stopped at that little airport that had the low flying aircraft sign and did the group photo there.

[BruceBowker]

Actually I had thought about it the day before when we did the test drive. I should have asked everyone.

Bruce

[slngsht]

Bster, definitely earning your keep around here with the nice pics ;)

good job man

So, how many sevens did you get to ride/drive?

[Bster13]

I road in Crocs and Box's SV Caterhams and sat in a bunch more. Very nice... they are similar but slightly different engine output (right guys?). I pummeled each of them with constant questions, I hope they didn't mind. I think I'm going for a Super Stalker in the end. (Shhhh, don't tell Roman! :p) It was great to meet everyone!

[yellowss7]

Roman noticed that my left brake light was out. I checked the bulb, the light block unit and the contacts on the brake master cylinder all good. Tracked it down to a wire that pulled out of the rear light assembly.

Good to go for the next outing, Hopefully this will keep Roman off my tail. :smilielol5:

Tom

[EviLRome0]

had a great time guys. sorry about the flames out the back and the lack of brake lights (need a more sensitive switch).

bster13, we will be glad to have you here in any 7 :)

[Bster13]

Thanks ROman.

I must say ...Roman's 7 sounds the business at WOT...flames and all! :driving:
