My own personal invite...I'm blushing

The date works for me and Volo is always a great place to visit, count me in!

Just tell your boss that you need a fix

. I'm sure he'll understand.

NSX 3.0 · 27 September 2003

Pretty sure I have that weekend open.

Can't make it

While on a spirited drive to day, I managed to hit some gravel and spun into a barbed wire fence. My car, although drivable, is, for the most part, out of commission. Maybe next time.

Sorry to hear about this... does this mean you're not driving it to NSXPO ??

MarkB · 29 September 2003

There would not be enough time to get it repaired. Fairly serious body work required. See the thread at: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=199646#post199646

Another NSX get together? I'm always up for that! Car might be optional though, that late in the year. Getting ready to put the baby to bed. The date is probably good, but where were you considering holding it? (didn't see a restaurant). If you are up around Volo, should be plenty of nice places! It would also be nice to see another yellow NSX as Manuel keeps picking on mine!

cojones · 3 October 2003

still looking into it...

Am checking with the Grand Geneva, site of last year's Fall brunch. Was thinking if we get an early start there, then do a little driving enroute to Volo.

Sunday brunch @ Grand Geneva

I checked with Grand Geneva -- they have a very good Sunday brunch, which we used last year for a similar gathering.

Brunch info at http://www.grandgeneva.com/dining/dining.html

I'm trying to arrange for a 10:30 or so seating for Sunday, 10/19
I need to confirm headcount for attendees.

Thanks!!

jdalto · 5 October 2003

Sounds like fun. Do we meet in Lake Geneva or somewhere on the way?

brahtw8 · 7 October 2003

I should be able to make it.

You will want to see the seat emblems I had put on. Suede NSX logo in silver on the black headrests. Very reasonable price. Looks stock.

Got them through www.manhattanauto.net

Click on interior graphics.

I'll post some pics when I get around to finishing the roll (I know I need a digi).

cojones · 7 October 2003

12 folks and counting...

- Rick (YellowNSX) - 2
- John (jdalto) - 2
- Ryan (brahtw8) - 1
- Tom B (Bell Turbo B18C1) - 1
- GinaK - 1 ?
- Steve J (SJJ28) - 1
- Dave B (RockfordNSX) - 1
- Darrin (ASenna88) - 4
- Manuel (nsx1164) - 3

EDIT: Attendee count updated 10/14/03

Other folks ?? Lets get a good crowd going -- Lake Geneva is beautiful this time of the year.

Please post interest and # of people coming.
I need to get a decent headcount for the restaurant reservation.
Also, please confirm if you are interested in visiting the VOLO museum afterwards...

Thanks

YellowNSX · 8 October 2003

Put me down for two

AaronR · 8 October 2003

2 for me and yes on Volo

NSX 3.0 · 8 October 2003

Put me down for two not sure on the Volo though. Ryan maybe we can hook up with you in Milwaukee and ride over together. There might be two other NSXs coming with me I hope I will try to get them to confirm ASAP.

Elite · 8 October 2003

I am very tentative... have to see how my schedule looks as we get closer to the date. I am going to try my best to be there. Would you guys mind if a friend of mine in his very nice 300zx tags along? If we can make it it will be 2-4 people. Yes on volo if we make it there. Probably go to chicago for the weekend and come up for the sunday event

Mo - Elite.

jdalto · 8 October 2003

Please put me down for two - brunch and Volo.

RP-Motorsports · 8 October 2003

Sounds like a plan. I will try to get the milwaukee-area NSXers there as well, perhaps two or three additional. I'll post as soon as I know if anyone else is coming, or I'll have them reply to this thread.

My only worry is not having the NSX out of the shop by then. I am embarassed to admit that I pulled a non-catastrophic money shift during the last session on Sunday. I partially engaged 2nd at 110 mph coming into turn 1. I caught it right away and engaged the clutch such that the gear was never fully engaged, but the engine saw approx. 10,500 RPM for about 1/3 of a second. The engine did not explode, and I drove it home (I know!). A rough idle has John Vasos and I suspecting a few slightly bent valves, and I await the result of a cylinder leakdown test today.

Even if I need new valves, to the tune of $1500-2000, I should be able to make it. Just don't expect me to pick up the check.

Volo is apparently not that far away, so it may not be a bad idea. I'm fairly flexible.
