Okay guys. This is where we will be meeting:

Time: Saturday morning at exactly 0900 and we will depart by 0920.
Location:
SEARS AUTO CENTER
195 N BROADWAY
HICKSVILLE, NY 11801

This is across the street from the Broadway Mall, it's about 1 mile off of the LIE/NSP.

From then on, we will be heading Westbound and getting off on Horace Harding to meet with another member.

After, we will proceed to Brooklyn and arrive at about 1000-1015.

If you need to contact me, you can contact me via aim: kxl77 or cell phone. PM me for my number.

Dan, I will meet you somewhere in East Northport and then we'll head out to Hicksville. Just let me know what time is most convenient for you. Hicksville is roughly 20 mintues from our location, so maybe you would like to grab some breakfast.

I will. Where do you wanna meet? How about Marios Pizzeria on Jericho Turnpike in Syosset? That way we can grab food if we're hungry and it's close to the 495 ramp.


Come on. Let's set this up :D

We have to be at Cesar's Bay at 10 on the dot, meaning we have to be on the road no later than like .. 9 ..

I'd say we can meet up, but idk if you'd want pizza at 9AM haha

Hows about we meet up there.. that works actually .. we'll take the LIE to you, get off, meet you, get back on.. then head to Bklyn

Sounds good to me

KXL brought up a good point...that lot is VERY congested, but I don't think it's too congested at 9 am.


What do you guys think? If not, the Syosset-Woodbury park is a GREAT place to meet...or the Milleridge Inn in Jericho.


Or we can just stick to plan A and meet at Mario's. There's also a Healthy Eatery in that little plaza.

Hmm.... Perhaps we can meet in Hicksville, in the Sears parking lot. It's a very big parking lot right off of the LIE. This would seem like the ideal place to meet since we do not know the amount of people that will be meeting with us. A good time to meet there would be just about 0900 and depart by 0930. I figure it would take us roughly 25 minutes or so to get to Brooklyn.
Also, the caravan from BK --> New Jersey is not leaving until 1030 which leaves us plenty of time.

Let me know what you guys think, also, there is a Krispy Kreme near by if you guys are interested in getting coffeee/donuts prior to driving.

We should meet somewhere right by the LIE .. that's the most important thing .. wherever is fine .. seems Kevin knows whats up .. maybe that Sears lot is better? we have a day or 2 to finalize, so unless anyone else chimes in it may be us 3 :D

Never been to that Sears, but I don't care where we meet honestly. I just wanna make sure it's convenient for everyone.

What exit is it off of?


We can exchange cell #s in case someone gets lost... mine is 914-419-5841



Btw, what meet is this for? lol

I assume this is a prepremeet for the Ceasars Bay. Ceasars Bay is a premeet for the trenton spring meet.

it's a meet for Li guys ... to head to brooklyn, and then we all leave for NJ meet

we'll meet on the LIE .. just gotta pick an exit, and then meet on the offramp or something .. any ideas on a westerly exit?

We could meet at the Milleridge Inn. It has a huge lot and it's always empty. It's in the back behind some buildings also so the public can not see us.


You take exit 41N to 106-North.


Then, maybe 1/4 mile up, you make a right into the Milleridge Inn, right before the ROUTE 25 EAST exit.


It's really easy to get to. It's right next to the Grocery Store.







This starts in Commack as a reference point. This is the exact route you'd take if you are anywhere west of Jericho.

The LIE & and Northern State Pkwy are interchangeable except for exit #s, but the exits are the same.

You can take either one.

Haha, no, I'm in Syosset, but I don't mind going to Commack if you want :)



I chose Commack because it is kind of in the "neutral" zone in Long Island. Not too far east and not too far west.

My Boxster :)







EDIT: Just realized something.. are we the only 3 meeting? lol

Marsulin drive. Off of Convent rd, which is a right turn off of Jackson avenue.


It's next to the elementary school.



I actually don't technically live there but I am there...99% of the time.

btw, Mike, where did you want to meet? We'll be coming out from roughly exit 51 (495) and NSP (42N). Anywhere off the LIE or NSP so let me know where you'd like to meet.

guys i wanna come with this crew with my own car but its stupid for me to meet you guys in BK. i am closer to NJ. The GWB is right on my way to brooklyn.

Is it possible to meet you guys in NJ?? i am down for that? if not looks like i will have to meet you guys in BK.

s1ick
03-29-2007, 02:38 AM
Maybe you can just go straight to the meet?

kxl77
03-29-2007, 03:42 AM
DJoutofsight. I am in process of speaking to Dan/Charles in regards to meeting somewhere in Jersey so we can roll to the meet together. When I get more information on the whereabouts and everything, I will have it posted no later than Friday afternoon.

Kev, the Milleridge Inn is fine. I don't think anyone ELSE will be joining us, but just in case they are and aren't speaking up, let's give them a place to go :)


Do you know how to get to the Milleridge Inn?

I believe there will be one more person coming with us from e46fanatics, I'll have to get in contact with him later today

BavariaMotorist
03-29-2007, 11:37 AM
I don't care if we have to stop again along the way. Doesn't make sense for anyone to travel out west and then go back east.


:)

kxl77
03-29-2007, 12:40 PM
So as of right now, I think me and dan will meet up first, and then meet up with someone from e46fanatics, and then we'll head out to Millridge inn and then we'll stop by Steve's place and then head out to Brooklyn.

I think we should head out somewhat early, meaning I should leave my house with Dan by around 0845 and maybe grab some breakfast with everyone.

I gotta be in NJ around the same time so I'll join you guys for the ride. I'd rather cruise with bimmers than minivans.:D I'll be leaving from Habberstad BMW and will meet you guys at Sears.
Is this the address…
195 N BROADWAY
HICKSVILLE, NY 11801

I'll split off where I need to go when I'm in NJ.

kxl77
03-29-2007, 02:23 PM
