Spring NJ Meet -- Saturday, May 11th, 2013

Even though it's still almost freezing here, I thought we'd get the ball rolling on our first 2013 meet.

As usual, it will be a combination BBQ / Benz meet, and as usual, we'll be hoping to see some new faces as well as the usual suspects. Everyone bringing something to the BBQ is always appreciated.

It will be in Roosevelt Park, Edison, NJ, at noon. That's the park right behind Menlo Park Mall, where Rte 1 meets with the Garden State Parkway. I'll post a map of the park well before the meet, to show where we'll meet.

Any questions or comments, please feel free. Thanks.

OK, now that we're less than a month away, time to put up the map, and encourage new people to show up this year.

Map's here:

MAP - Click me!

We will be at the area market "Open Grove" directly across from the Kiddie Keep Well Camp - it's a less populated picnic area that usually works out pretty well.

Any new people at the meet will be able to point at my sagging headliner and laugh without fear of retaliation.

Hope to see you there.

Less than two weeks til meet reminding

I'll finally be getting my summer rims on this weekend, in preparation, using my new smurfy powdercoated ball seat lugs.

Michael, make sure to have something go wrong in your car, to continue your loaner tradition.

Lenin - think I saw you crossing Kinderkamack on Old Hook in the C32, no?

No way you could see me. I'm too fast for a human eye.
Who else is coming? If it's just you and me, then we can just meet half way in Emerson.

It's the usual suspects:
You
Me
Rick in his Maxima
Michael
John in his IS250
Maybe Mark
Maybe MG

It'd be nice to see anyone else in the area, but you know how these go

Looks like it's going to rain.

Only if you can't read.

Yes, what would one of our meets be without the threat of rain? Forecast: 72 degrees, 70% chance of rain. Well, that's life, hopefully it will hold out.

I'd really like to.
50/50 chance. If I can't make this one, will there be another?

Usually, there's one spring and one fall. In between, everyone does their best "Situation" impression and is at the shore.

They make these things called "umbrellas". I find them very handy in rainy situations.

In case anyone was wondering, the rain did stop after about 45 mins or so. Doesn't sound bad, but we were subjected to about 15 mins of Mark's bootlegged trip down memory lane of awful 80s/90s music in his CL.

Good to see everyone, and always nice to have someone new show up. Johnp, what up? We were assuming that your meds hadn't kicked in soon enough to attend.
