NJ Meet - Saturday, April 14th, 2012 - Edison

So, the weather's getting better, I'm getting my new summer tires on Saturday, and it feels like it's time for another attempt at a Jersey meet.

So, hows about April 14th at the usual place, Roosevelt Park, in Edison? Let me know of any interest, or suggest another date, and we can see what we can come up with. I know that Honda Day at Atco is that weekend (I'll probably be going down on the 15th), but that shouldn't affect many here, I wouldn't think.

Let me know your thoughts about the meet. Danke.

I don't know if Rolling Rock will be available, PA water has been too clean this year to produce that swill. Might have to settle for Bud Light Platinum.

These meets start at noon. BBQ, too - so if everyone could bring something, that would be great. I'll bring my usual - charcoal, burgers, & buns.

Just so you all know, Rick, in his infinite wisdom, dumped his grandpa old E class, and picked up a Maxima. Because of this issue, he is now forcing this to be a joint MB/Maxima meet, so don't be surprised to see a bunch of Maximas in the lot as well.

Don't worry, though - we will still have John's bad beer, Michael's hummus, and my blackened burgers and dogs.

OHHHHH now it all makes sense, the "other" thread was confusing. I have no problem with Maximas attending as long as they do not park near the MB's

Anyone wanna take bets on his re-banning?

As far as the meet - week and a half left, get your cars ready. And don't forget your umbrellas, if past history is any indication.

Six days - start removing the White Castle wrappers from under the seats, and polish up those aftermarket rims.

Tommy, can you post the usual pdf with directions to the park so that maybe some new people can come too?

Ugh!

Here you go:

Click Me for Map of Park

We'll be at the "Open Grove" right under "Grove 1" across from the camp.

Easiest way to get there is to go Route 1 to Edison; turn west onto Parsonage Road at the northern end of Menlo Park Mall. You'll then go past the Target on your right. Next left is Roosevelt Drive, and the Open Grove is on the right, per the map.

It really would be nice to get some new people to these meets.

See you all there. I'll be the one not smiling as he pulls up in his C300 gray, boring loaner.

Need new alternator. Oy.
