Hi all,

Are newbies welcome? I would like to come. This would be my first time tho and not exactly sure what this entails. Do I need to sign up? Would I need to bring anything? Do anything? Chip in for anything?

+1 on Aaron's response. Its in a HS parking lot, and you just drive in, park, wander around, look at the cars and talk to the owners. The school is closed, so there's no bathroom available. Which means one has to calculate how much coffee to drink ahead of time.:biggrin:

I may bring my '84 'vette (black w/red interior) to stretch its legs one last time this year. We'll look for you.

 

[hleenyc]

Sounds good. Hope to see and meet everyone there!

I'll be there. See everyone soon.

Looks like I won't be able to make it. Have fun and I'll catch you guys in the spring.

It was too cold today too stay long. At least 5 NSX owners showed; only 3 with their NSX's.

But I did take my hands out of my gloves long enough to operate my camera to take the following. It was gorgeous, unique, exquisitely built, even if the upholstery looks like a pattern for living room furniture.



Afterwards we went to my house, and put Rich's "new" 2005 on my lift to figure out why the Comptech exhaust tips stuck out unevenly from the rear fascia. We loosened the spring-loaded bolts on each side of the cats, wiggled the system around, and got everything to line up. We re-tightened all the bolts, and marveled at the improvement.:biggrin: Apparently the installer didn't take time to do a final alignment.

Nice, but I don't know about starting bids around $250k ??????? BMW power makes it an everyday car with dependability, however, "Would you drive it everyday?"
Nice to get the NSX out last time before off to London next week. That's right. Docs gave me the green light to go back to visit Jennifer. We will have a "bloody good" Christmas this time.
Hope all of you out there in the NSX community have a great holiday season and we'll see you at the pre-spring dinner.

It was nice to get one last session in before the snow hit. Good excuse to get the NSX out and about. As for Rich, he snuck out without even saying good bye, what a guy. :wink::tongue:

I was one of the NSX owners who didn't bring his NSX. I only have winter tires on the Cayman S.

I heard there was another meet Sunday after Christmas?

I hope so.

The last C&C meet of the year was supposed to be this Saturday, Dec 21. However, the latest C&C email cancelled it due to the snow & salt. But, there was a note saying to look for an update if all the snow and salt washes away. If that happens, I'll post the details.

You may be in luck, per the email below. I'll post their Friday update in a new message.

Folks,




Given that the rain has washed away the salt and snow, we are contemplating a bonus gathering on Sunday December 29. Let's watch the weather during the week, and if it looks good, we will announce our intentions on Friday. Hope you all have a safe holiday and enjoy the time with family and friends. Watch your email on Friday for an announcement either way.
