i may bring the NSX as well if the MRS wants to drive too
Mrs. JRR is not coming. I'm am SOOO in the doghouse, it's not even funny. That Saturday is Luca's birthday. However, lest you think I'm a complete pisshead, we are having (and always planned anyway) to have his party the following weekend. Huge 12' inflatable waterslide, lots of 3-year old's, pizza, etc. Heck, I even told Mrs. JRR that I'd like to take Luca with me to the Beach weekend and give her the whole weekend off -- R&R, spa wherever she wanted to go, etc. She declined. So it'll just be me, a 348, and an iPod full of Madonna albums.
Awww, REO Speedwagon, Boston, Kansas... Might make it up Friday PM from Figure Eight, got the wooden boat in tow...
Marc, Woody & Susan will be there. Also add Jon & Johanna Won. Tim & Valerie told me they were going, as well as Hank & Amy Carpenter. See you then. Woody
Amy and I will be there! We are really looking forward to seeing everyone and just getting away for a bit! Thanks to Ronnie, Bob, Tom and Daniel and everyone else who have been working so hard to put this together... Hank
My daughter and I drove out to Brier Creek shopping center today. We're thinking that the parking and access will be somewhat better next to the Starbucks on the other side of shopping area (Brier Creek spans both sides of US-70). So, if everyone is OK with that, we'd prefer to move the morning gathering to the Starbucks. I'll put together maps of the shopping area by Tuesday. Lou
Updated list for lunch on Friday: Me and g/f (2) f355red (2) tamf328 (2) Woody (2) Daniel (1) Lou (2) Dr. S (1) resnow (2) Hankcarp (2) Ronnie Rumple (2) Anyone know of anyone else who may be coming on Friday? Is Tom W coming? Nierle's? Curtis'? Fantango? Others? I'm just trying to get a head count so I'll know what to plan for food-wise.
I will not be making the trip but I will meet you for coffee that morning at Brier Creek at 9am Friday. Wish I could go all the way.
they cant make it this year. they just opened new showroom for "the dark side of the force" and i suspect they are just too busy. marc, who is tamf328? are tim and valerie coming?
I assume both the weekend and the lunch. Kevin N. and I are driving together; we're meeting Tim & Valerie in Raleigh at the Charbucks before the drive to your estate.
Mark, add Lynne and I for lunch tentatively and I'll confirm by tomorrow. We'll be on our way back from Figure 8 and (I) would love to stop off for lunch. Thanks, Peter
For those of us meeting at the Starbucks at Brier Creek at 9am Friday morning, the following maps may help you if you aren't familiar with the area. The Starbucks is actually visible from the road (green awnings). I plan to actually be there a bit early (8:45) so I can beat the line for coffee I've never been there this early on a workday, but it should be shortly after peak traffic.

BTW, it is looking that my 360 will not be out of the shop in time, so I will likely be in my dark blue BMW M5 (2001 model) with failing clutch. I'm running out of cars, but the clutch only slips when I try to accelerate at high RPM. Lou
