jsedlak 10-06-2005, 05:42 PM I have some questions...
What kind of surface are the roads? Condition?
How fast will we be traveling on said roads?
Boomer 10-06-2005, 07:16 PM The roads are obviesly welll paved, mostly like in the pictures that i have posted above. We will be driving above the average speed limit, i'd call it "spirited driving" nothing out of the average driving skill required since im not a scca racer myself :)
The fun part is the amazing amount of turns, uphills and downhills we will be going through... beutiful scenery

I just got a new suspension and would love to try it out on the twisties. :redspot I'm gonna try to make the event.
Are you guys bringing walkie-talkies?
aaahaa 10-22-2005, 10:34 AM Helle hello..
This would be my first ride with you guys.. I'll meet up but will be heading back by 2ish..
MikeK.. Could I meet you at the greastrucks? By the way, I think you are supposed to come check out my 528e the same weekend ;-)
Thanks,
Tarik..
DeeM3 10-22-2005, 06:06 PM Caravan sounds cool. Exactly what I was thinking for us NY guys. Someone post an easy to get to place of meet to set off the caravan.
Boomer 10-22-2005, 07:34 PM WoW! i didnt expect so many people to be intrested, awesome!
now, im still working on taking the 29th off of work!
black328 10-23-2005, 10:49 AM I got the day off from work, so count me in.
Boomer 10-23-2005, 07:47 PM im still trying!! if i dont get a day off, ill just come in my work clothes and will leave a little earlier, no biggie
MikeK 10-24-2005, 06:20 PM bump again... couple people on the njbmwcca boards are thinking of coming
DeeM3 10-24-2005, 10:39 PM to this one or the other? Apparently there's another guy that just planned a drive on this same day and is also in NJ. That really messes up things because now the forum is split. They should've done it another day.
DeeM3 10-24-2005, 10:41 PM Anyway where are us NY guys going to meet for the caravan? It needs to be somewhere easy to get to so that all can come.

CRAZYCHINAMAN 10-24-2005, 11:24 PM 29th eh? I should be able to make it. :)
Boomer 10-24-2005, 11:42 PM good stuff, it looks like it will be a pretty big turnout!
btw who is that other guy that is planning a meet on the 29th?
im pretty sure i was first to post for that date, i looked around and didnt see any posts... oh well, maybe we can join meets?!
MikeK 10-25-2005, 10:37 AM to this one or the other? Apparently there's another guy that just planned a drive on this same day and is also in NJ. That really messes up things because now the forum is split. They should've done it another day.

Boomer 10-30-2005, 02:55 AM good stuff, i wish i could've stayed! ur car is sick dude, espacially with the top DOWN, crazy shiiiiyet!
maybe something next month again... why not?
4or2wheels 10-30-2005, 06:03 AM Hey guys - Its Mitch
It was fun leading you guys around the twisties. You guys are good drivers and that it made it easy to lead. I hope your all not too pissed that it was a Subaru that showed you the way.
I never though about owning a BMW until yesturday. Your cars really do handle well.
Now if I could figure out everyone's real name, screen name and car they were driving Sunday ill be doing alright.
4or2wheels 10-30-2005, 07:04 AM I cant quote - wtf
Your cars were handling so well on the smooth roads I felt the need to get you guys on some less than perfect surfaces. Its good to mix it up a bit
gbelton 10-30-2005, 10:20 AM Hey Guys:
I thought both roads conditions were great. I wish I had a second chance to run with you Mitch... (6 Series driver). I wanted to give everyone else a chance to try to keep up with you.:)
I would say the bumpies were interesting to ride on but it is an acquired taste. My car held on very well, surprisingly but don't get me wrong I HAD TO HOLD TIGHT on the steering wheel and keep the speed moderately high (50-60mph).
I wanted to take the car close to the its threshold and pull back... Call me crazy but I enjoyed every turn, dive, incline, uneven payment, panic breaking (:evil2 ), dual lane incline, enclosed road with the autumn roughage(:buttrock ), cool breeze while the top was dropped(:eyecrazy ) and tight-tight turns throughout this full day of exciting driving.:handclap :handclap
I agree with Mitch's statement, everyone drove very well. Good to see other good drivers on the road regardless of age and car model.
That's enough from me... Let me know when you're ready to ride again!
P.S. Subaru's are fine.:D
GMAN
Boomer 10-30-2005, 08:05 PM Hey Mitch, just thanking you again for leading our meet, my choise of roads is not half as good, so it turned out perfect!
4or2wheels 11-01-2005, 10:28 AM Hey Mitch, just thanking you again for leading our meet, my choise of roads is not half as good, so it turned out perfect!
No problem. I have a few more route's up my sleeve. One that takes us into PA and another that goes into NY plus combinations of different runs.
I ended up going out on most of the same roads the next day leading a pack of 15 sportbikes. I was kinda worn out after leading fast Drivers/Riders for 2 days in a row. I had less problems with our car group than with the bike's.
4or2wheels 11-01-2005, 01:02 PM I figured there would be more people from the drive posting here.
gbelton 11-01-2005, 01:06 PM :redspot 4or2Wheels:redspot
You are the man. After our fast ride and +2 hour ride home (oh did I mention destroying a Rx8 on 287:nono ), I was dead tired and got plenty of sleep.:eek:
Glad to hear we were a little better than the bikers but it would be interesting if you could share some of the differences you encountered.
Let's definately take another cruise this fall (Less the snow of course). I will have my snows on though.
Till the next time!
Cheers!

gbelton, you're definitely right about driving with him...its thrilling! :buttrock
This has to be one of the best times I ever had with my car. I'm definitely down to do another. All you guys are really cool and I love the variety of cars.

You took some awesome pictures too. Keep up the good work!:redspot

4or2wheels 11-04-2005, 01:07 AM Z-Thrizzle - another happy customer
YOu weren't hogging the front at all. I had 5 different cars follow in the #2 spot through the day so you guys were doing a good job of moving around.
4or2wheels 11-04-2005, 02:25 AM GMAN<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
4or2wheels says:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Yup, I was pretty beat after our Drive. I think I fell out around 8 which was a good thing since I did it again the next day. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The difference between the cars and bikes:<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
On our Drive we had group of drivers with skill levels pretty close to each other. For some it was the first time they ever did this kind of driving. It seemed like Z – Thrizzle wasn’t close to breaking a sweat following me. I may have to get a faster car. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
The bike ride I did had riders of varying skill that were much greater, plus it was also a big group (15). There were longer wait’s at every road/direction change. Also the group would really spread out since some couldn’t maintain decent speed through the turns and other people missing a turns. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
When your in a smaller group and your all driving tight it adds to the drive. I think that 4 to 7 cars is best. Its also a big plus if everyone has radios. With a big group, lets say 16; the distance could be a mile from the first to last car. At those distance’s in the mountains those hand held’s don’t work so I’d use my cb too. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Maybe the 12<SUP>th</SUP> or the 19<SUP>th</SUP> of this month would be good. As soon as it gets too cold to ride I’ll be in the car doing these Drive’s. I’ll be on the bike this weekend. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Btw/ I’m going to need a faster ride to hang with you guys<o:p></o:p>

gbelton 11-04-2005, 07:43 PM Well this might be an opportunity to talk about what BMW offers. :lol
Who knows, maybe there is something in your future connected somehow to a BMW of some sort. Who knows...
With the weather being nice tomorrow and Sunday I may go out an play some golf... Or may take a long ride... I dah know... What are you guys doing?

Hey GMAN, the weather was great on Saturday. How was golfing? I haven't picked up a club in about a year or so:(
Well on sat I played paintball with some of the guys on bimmerforums. I had a great time but was completely exhausted afterwards.
gbelton 11-06-2005, 12:44 PM Z-Thrizzle,
Golfing was fantastic. you ought'a try it next year. Perhaps we can get a group and go out and play a round. It would be fun... We can play for Pinks!! :D Just joking, it's not that serious...:nono
Paintball huh? I heard this sport is a lot of fun but painful at times.:(
Seriously if you guys want to get together and setup an outing I could work on a all BMW thing... Let me know your thoughts and seriousness to do something like this.
If folks are interested, chime in!
GMAN
4or2wheels 11-09-2005, 10:37 AM Glad you guys had a good time last weekend. I was outriding Sat and Sun and had a great time.
So who wants to go for a Backroad Drive ? It would be this coming weekend ( the 12th ) or next weekend ( the 19th ).
Maybe I should start a new thread a do a poll.

That sounds good. If the weather is going to be nice this weekend, I'm down. However, it might be short notice. I would like to see a good crowd.
I say start a new thread.
Boomer 11-09-2005, 08:41 PM 19 is a saturday and im off! count me in 100%
Mitch, i would advise you to start a new thread,
im def comming if its 19th!!

I'll start a new thread for next weekend. As long as a good crowd is 5-7 cars we will be fine. A small group is SO much better. For those of you that drive all winter I'll be shooting for 2 drive's per month until it become's bike weather again. I go out if its raining or snowing ( unless its a blizzard ).
4or2wheels 11-11-2005, 10:59 AM oh, btw - Do you guys see my sig pic ?
