Just curious to know when and where the next Atl meet is going to be.

 

should be June 2nd, thats the first thursday of the month

i vote we move it to saturday nights though

 

I do stuff saturday night, don't know about you guys. ;-) But yeah I like Thursday night meets.

What happened to the "every thursday" concept?

 

Yeah im with yah, thursdays are good as i do stuff saturday nights also. Im up for the every thursday thing though, so next thursday you guys wanna meet up?.

 

what about saturday nights? u guys are lame. FRIDAY NIGHTS!!

 

SirCygnus :: cf. my answer on Saturday night. Those two nights are always pre-booked for most people. Plus Thursdays are good nights to avoid crowds, etc.

I'm down with next thurs. I'd rather not drive to Gwinett tho, if we could keep it more north/east downtown area I'd be more inclined to go. Gwinett is such a haul and my car is a gas guzzler.

 

Daniel .. you need to look at your map .. You are in Brookhaven. When I leave work in Chamblee and drive to the Varsity it is 12miles for me. It is about the same drive for me to Pleasant Hill (exit 104 off of I-85 north) from Chamblee. Maybe your thinking Suwanee is Gwinnett, but Gwinnett Co. starts just north of I-285 before Jimmy Carter Blvd. (exit 99).

We used to meet up in Marietta every Thursday night, several years back. And for some of us, it was a 70 mile roundtrip.

Anyway, just trying to unconfuse you as to how far you are thinking Gwinnett is up I-85

i'm pretty sure we can keep 1 saturday a month open for a meet, plus we can do stuff afterwards like go to the bars and ****, we cant do that on thursday nights, some of us have to work

 

Tell em Holly! I say Sweetwater,Fri or Sat nights for ROCKETSHIPS!!!!....I know Jeremy is down!

 

When I hear you guys say "let's meet in Gwinnett" I'm thinking that J-something restaurant that's halfway to SC... That sure seems like its more than 12 miles up the road. Mayrettia is also a haul, I do agree. I was thinking since NE Atl inside the perimeter is sorta central to both the 85 and 75 corridors and isn't too far for the south-side guys to go compared to gwinnett and marietta, that it would be a nice medium for everybody. And it happens to be 5-10 min drive for me.

But I'm lazy, too. For sure.

 

Yeah .. Jeffrey's Sports Bar is further up I-85. It is at exit 111, like 15 miles from the perimeter. But, Pleasant Hill (exit 104) and south is not that bad. Plus, it seems like the most people who regularly want to meet now are up I-85 in Gwinnett. Maybe we can meet at different sides of town regularly, on steady Thursday nights.

some suggestions:
Varsity - dowtown 1st Thursday of the month. (this is already a regular)
American Pie 2nd Thursday of the month
Sushi restaurant in Gwinnett (in the another thread) 3rd Thursday of the month
Maybe something toward Lithonia 4th Thursday of the month (so David Girod and then any southside peeps can meet up too)

 

Sounds like a good solution to me.

 

DAMN HOLLY now i know where you work. i always wondered who's red rx7 that was under the bridge. lol. i drive past there every morning to go to gpc.

 

Yeah she works for Downing. ;-) And I live right down the street, so say hi next time you're in the area, Sir.

 

THURSDAY@the Varsity solid

 

How about a monthly mountain drive.

That way we can drive our cars as they were meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy meeting people and chatting about cars as much as the next guy. However, nothing replaces a spirted drive around twisty mountain roads.

I go up at least once or twice a month as is. I have never seen another rotary up there. Plenty of bikes, S2000s, Vettes, Vipers, and Lotus Elises can be found though.

My friend and I were up there yesterday and it was great. Got to play follow the leader with a GT40 and a Shelby Cobra replica up 129. The GT40 supposidly has 520whp and weighted 2800lbs w/driver and the Shelby had 400whp and weighted 2300lbs w/driver. Saw a really neat Blue Lotus Elise up there.

It is 60 miles from ATL and well worth the drive. I would be up for meeting at 10:00 AM one Sat or Sunday each month and driving up there.

I also go up there every so often on the Ducati. If anyone has a bike (and some sense) I would be up for taking the bikes up there some weekend too!

 

lol. i was there and saw a lotus exige. lets just say it left me in a corner and that thing was probobly doung double the speed i was. it was wrid, no rear view mirrors, no back glass, no nothing. infact, theres hardly a firewall between the engine and the driver. just a heat shield. lol.

no rear view and no back glass because theglass was replacd with a wirescreen mesh. it was gangster bad *** i tells ya.

 

i live on osborne rad, near oglethorp. downing atlanta? i never knew what that place was. i alwase saw cool cars there though.

 

I didnt even know you could get an Exige in the US at all. That must have been a bitch to import. Some how I doubt it is registered. You got to love the North GA mountains!!

 

I'm in for a mountain drive. Just let me know when and where to be.

 

hm... i originally thaught they where specifically for the us car market. o well what do i know.

 

That's me! What is gpc?

 

Hehe.. Post Brookhaven here, on the "other side of the tracks", quite, err, literally.

Yeah, Downing, as in Jim Downing. As in, 4 rotor Kudzu, and 6 or so time consecutive IMSA GT champion. And that's where they do the HANS device too.

855m0n0 and I hang out between brookhaven and midtown, and carson too, so I figure we've got a nice midtown group going on already. We should have our own get-togethers too, I think. We've got Apres Diem, Intermezzo, Ru Sans, Virginia Highlands Taco Mac, etc... and I hang out at all those places regularly already. I'm sure you've got your haunts all we gotta do is merge them.

 

what about at the mellow mushroom next to jocks and jills? lol.
i know loni who works there.
gpc is georgia perimeter college.

damnit bout time they finish with working on prwchtree. it was fun though cus i was worken them pilons like no bodys business.

 

Well damn, I'll be all up for a drive when I get my RX-2 together. The truck isn't an awful lot of fun. I'm in Smyrna and definitely want to jump in on the weekend drive once I'm mobile again.
