Who is interested in doing a South Jersey -Rt 76 caravan to the KOP meet? Post here. I'll suggest a meeting point once we get a better idea of where everyone is coming from.....
*EDIT*
We will be meeting here (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1+lakeview+dr+08012&ll=39.819711,-75.074859&spn=0.017786,0.038772&hl=en) and departing at 12:00pm

According to Streets + Trips, Hooters is 31 miles from the meeting point in Blackwood. Streets + Trips estimates it will take roughly 33 minutes to get there so we should be fine leaving at 12:00pm. Is everyone on the list definately coming?

No Way! It's total madness around there now....I wouldn't even dare. It's chaos since they closed down Clements BridGe Road. Not to mention all the Xmas early birds that are getting a head start. We'll find a good meet spot....

That's good 2 know but I bet it's still crazy over there. I'll think of a good place....

I would prefer something close to the highway, so we can just jump on when we all arrive at the meeting spot.

Oh, definately that's my intention as well. Can ya think of anyplace that meets our needs that won't get us tied up in Mall traffic?

You could meet at my shop. Its on the WHP with a good amount of parking in the rear and very close to 295 entrance.

KG's shop is in a descent enough place.

another idea - i used to live here http://maps.google.com/maps?q=1+lakeview+dr+08012&ll=39.819711,-75.074859&spn=0.017786,0.038772&hl=en

it's the exits just south of the mall. it's really easy to get on and off 42 and there is a empty lot and an awesome deli... both are on the corner of lower landing rd and lakeview rd.

I know this place well, its right up the BHP from my house.
I was also considering the Somerdale Rd. WaWa or the Chews Landing Rd. Super G complex.
Its usually quiet on Sundays. I should know, I work in the complex. :mrgreen:

i think that the closer to the highway we get the easier it will be to stay together on the road. if we have to navigate through a handful of lights before the highway. we will lose someone.

Granted. But I chose the Super G cause of the Sunoco right in the complex.
Just in case anyone needs to fill up before we depart. :mrgreen:

Sounds good.....it shouldn't take over an hour to get to KOP. Just every one make sure they're on "Full" so we don't lose caravan members along the way. :wink:

Well...obviously since I didn't show up at the meeting spot some problems arose. :furious:

After putting a new bracket on my BPV return line, I noticed that the bolts that hold the BPV in place were stripping the threads from the intercooler.
Against my better judgement, I put them back in and started off.

At the Sunoco on Chews Landing Rd., my car wouldn't hit allow hitting boost.
And would idle erractically. After getting longer bolts to reach into the remaining threads, I decided to bail out on the meet and stay home.


Sorry kids. :(
