[92eg]

[TehWagon]

[DocEwww]

45-1hr

[Silver04STi]

I might be down.....what time is everyone meeting up?

[TehWagon]

why don't we say 6:30?

[Silver04STi]

OK I have a birthday party for my niece on sunday. I have to see what time that is and I'll know better if I can meet up with you guys.

[wrxbert]

I'll be there

[TehWagon]

in florence?! isn't that going south to go north for you??

[wrxbert]

Not really florence is more west of me...fine i won't come :cry:

[TehWagon]

HAHA NOOOO! please do come, i just wanted to make sure you understood where it was and that it wouldn't be inconvenient for you :mrgreen:

[92eg]

so r ppl meeting at the superwawa or what?

[TehWagon]

i'll be there no matter what - i've got to drive right by to get on the turnpike anyway, and i believe wrxbert is the only person who is definitely meeting me there... everyone else is uncertain at this point. if you are, please let me know so i don't leave w/o you!

[SinistiR]

can someone give me a zip code, or address where you are meeting so I can have an idea of where it is.

[TehWagon]

sorry just realized this was the jersey/caravan thread and not the big meet thread! :o

i'll update the first post with that link also...

[SinistiR]

Nice, thats not too far at all. Is that 6:30 am or pm? I cant make it if its am, I have a tune to do Sunday morning.

Andy

[TehWagon]

It is PM... the meet is called for 7:30... (its just a rough idea right now- i want to be sure we get to the six flags spot before the tst people leave, so please do check back in case i make it any earlier!)

[TehWagon]

yes... they are in fact leaving from the six flags location promptly at 7:15... so we need to be rolling out by 6:30 - please be sure to be on time!!!

[SinistiR]

Cool, it wont be a problem then, I'll be in the WRB 04 STi with Rota Torques, and roll cage.

[TehWagon]

saWEEEEEEET! :supz:

[SinistiR]

On a side note, I love the avatar, I always get a little chuckle when ever I see a Giraffe out a plane window.

[92eg]

its likely ill be there. seems like alot of people are goin.

[TehWagon]

thanks andy - for some reason it makes me giggle also :lol:

92eg, sounds good- i'm assuming you drive a honda... thats what eg corresponds to correct? just want to know who to look for :)

[xEJ20x]

thats what eg corresponds to correct? just want to know who to look for :)

92-95 Civic Hatchback

[TehWagon]

thanks... but that guy renn (92egSedan i think)? has a sedan... or did... ? and what does eg stand for... is that like our gc's, gd's, just a chassis code?

takin my own thread off topic, but i have been noticing this popping up more lately :o

[SinistiR]

Yup, you are correct, its a chassis code.

[92eg]

yes its a 92 hatch. its grey w/ black front bumper and white hood lol. u cant miss it

[Silver04STi]

OK I have a birthday party for my niece on sunday. I have to see what time that is and I'll know better if I can meet up with you guys.

Found out party is at 1pm....so I'll be there

[the mike]

As will I, but I think we should aim to leave a little earlier.

[TehWagon]

yes. if everyone is there, we could leave earlier, just in case... with the turnpike you never know! although adam was telling me that you can just shoot straight up 537 i think?

cook kevin i'll add you as a definite!

[92eg]

cant u get there without gettin on the turnpike?

[Silver04STi]

yea it's on 537, down past great adventure.

[TehWagon]

i don't really see an easy way to get over to 537 though... if i was by myself i could do it no problem, but i think the most 'express' way, the better, since we'll all be in tow... if someone feels differently, please feel free to lead! i will gladly follow for once :wink:

Its real easy...go out my front door and drive a 100 yards and I'm on 537......lol

[TehWagon]

wait- is 537 = Marne Highway?

if you know how to connect from wawa to 537 (and think it's a good way to go w/o a lot of lights) that'd be great!

[Silver04STi]

wait- is 537 = Marne Highway?

Yes

if you know how to connect from wawa to 537 (and think it's a good way to go w/o a lot of lights) that'd be great!

its not hard

left out of the wawa parking lot onto cedar lane -
left at stop sign onto burlington-bustleton rd
left at stop sign onto old york rd
right onto florence columbus rd )
right onto wrightstown georgetown rd
left onto monmouth rd/RT 537

I'll drive it tomorrow and check lights if you want to try that way

[TehWagon]

i don't want you to put so many miles on your car if you don't have to... why don't we just stick with the safe bet? only thing i could think is we would save the PITA factor of waiting for everyone to get thru the tolls... well, i'll leave that up to you...
we'll figure out the route... right now, i need :sleep:

[Silver04STi]

OK I got bored and drove it tonight....

Assuming Wawa driveway is the starting point I broke it down by distance according to my odometer and inserted the stops and lights

mile
marks
0.0 - Left out Wawa driveway onto Cedar lane
0.8 - Stop sign, left onto Burlington Bustleton Rd
1.2 - Stop sign, left onto Old York Rd
1.9 - Traffic light, left onto Florence Columbus Rd*
3.2 - Traffic light, continue straight
3.7 - Traffic light, continue straight
5.3 - Traffic light, continue straight
9.2 - Stop sign, right onto Fort Dix Acc Hwy
9.8 - Traffic light, left onto Rt 537/Monmouth Rd

Total distance from Wawa to 537 = 9.8 mile
*note- Florence Columbus Rd changes to Columbus rd to Main st to Mount Pleasant Rd

Mount Pleasant Rd is a nice road to drive...good scenery and quite a few bends.

[TurboGTP]

Left out of which wawa?

[92eg]

looks like the weather turned to ****... high temp of 32 tomo...

[HuffRex]

I'll be there, need to know how to get to the wawa! Route 130?

[Silver04STi]

Left out of which wawa?

Florence

[92eg]

at 7pm its gonna be 27... if its dry ill go... im prolly not gonna if its snowing or raining...

[TehWagon]

ok, understandable...

ryan yes 130 would probably be the best way for you to get to the florence superwawa... just go thru burlington and it'll be on your right as you start seeing signs for the turnpike/276.

[92eg]

i have drag radials on my car that are gettin kinda bald. i need to get some new tires bad. i can always take my moms car.

[TehWagon]

yea, drag radials + cold/wet = dangerous!!! :eek:
...and if you don't feel like driving your mom's car all the way up there, you could always just ride with one of us- whatever's clever!

[92eg]

weather = ass... goin to bed...

[TehWagon]

guys if you check this before leaving today, please bring radios if you have them!

[SinistiR]

It doesnt look like I will be able to make it, sorry guys.

[TehWagon]

booooooooo :(

[subwrxkid]

[TehWagon]
