11/14 -- Early AM Downtown Boston Meet...my last Boston gala :(
Hey All!
Well, it's official...I'm moving back to Manhattan in mid-January  Additionally my Corvette goes away for the winter during TGiving (and my new 500hp Z06 should arrive in the fall!)Anyway, before I leave Boston I am in the process of spending a little time documenting my stay here. One of the things I have always wanted to do is have a meet in Boston -- and with my days numbered I have decided to push ahead! So copying the FChat meet in Times Square, I have decided to hold an early morning meet in downtown Boston. The idea being that we can all get a chance to drive our beasts down the empty streets of Boston and pose them in front of otherwise traffic clogged streets. Right now we are looking at the Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market area, but I am open to suggestions. Tomorrow we will be doing a dry run (I have devoted a few days already to scouting locations) where will finalize the locations. Right now we have a few cars (a couple of Corvettes, some Lotus' and maybe even a 360), but you can never have enough Ferraris! This will also be a chance to get some nice pictures in beautiful downtown Boston, and perhaps give a parting insult to a Yankees fan  Hope some of you can make it! If not thanks again for letting me tag along to some of your meets, and the hospitality shown to a non-Fcar owner. Hasta! -N

I would have liked to have come out early Sunday, but alas, I'll be in New Orleans this weekend.

Is the Citgo sign still under construction?
Any good reflective buildings downtown? Maybe Copley/Stuart St.

** Please make sure you read this entire post (sorry it's so long-winded) **
Ok, let me just say I am sooooooooooooo excited for this. Karc, Travis, LotusMan, and myself spent the better part of Saturday morning driving through Boston, planning a route and looking for an ideal end point -- and I am happy to report that we found both! The goal was to find an end point that would A) allow for low cars (like Will's Lotus) to drive the street B) allow for parking of 40+ cars C) provide a scenic backdrop. Well folks, without further ado, the endpoint will be peer right by the Boston the Aquarium right in front of the Chart House -- http://www.chart-house.com/Locations/boston/index.htm The area offers a beautiful (and equally important: a smooth road) spot that is framed by the Boston skyline as a backdrop. We snapped a few pictures to give everyone an idea of what it looks like: Facing the city -- http://nabbs.fbody.com/streets_of_boston/DSC05071.jpg Looking towards the bay -- http://nabbs.fbody.com/streets_of_boston/DSC05068.jpg So the end point will be: 60 Long Wharf Boston, Massachusetts 02110-3602 Now, people have a couple of options; they can meet us at the pier, or they can meet us in Newton. If you choose to meet us in Newton you will get the additional bonus of driving through various deserted streets and being able to pose in front of, otherwise unaccessible, Boston landmarks. The route will start out at 35 George Street, Newton, MA take us down Storrow Drive, across the Mass Ave Bridge, down Memorial Drive, and down State St/Milk St/Court St. Because we will be on the road so early, we will be able to stop and take pictures at will (and I have some excellent places in mind). Pictures of locations (remember the streets will be empty as many of these areas don't allow overnight parking!) take at 1PM yesterday (it was still pretty empty) http://nabbs.fbody.com/streets_of_boston/DSC05057.jpg http://nabbs.fbody.com/streets_of_boston/DSC05058.jpg http://nabbs.fbody.com/streets_of_boston/DSC05062.jpg So a couple of important questions -- 1- Time: This has to be *early* in order for it to work. Sunrise is 6:30, but it is light out by 6AM. I plan to be in Newton by 5:45, and on the road by 6, arriving at the pier by 7AM. However, I wanted to give people a chance to chime re: the time. 2- Date: Sunday is the best, simply because Saturday seems to be a little more congested. However, some folks have asked to do this on Sunday 11/28 as opposed to the 14th. Personally, I will be arriving back in Boston Sat night late (and I can always put the car in storage the following week), so the following Sunday would be better as well. I hate to switch dates, but if people have a preference, please chime in. This should be a blast! I can't wait. -N -N

God I love technology! So can we get a roll call? LotusMan- Lotus V8TT LM guest - Lotus V8 WhyTry - Z06 GrantR - Z06 RedDeath - Z16 TCM - M5 + guest (360 *hint-hint*) ScottsZ - Z06 Kenny - TR TB - M3 Meems - M3 Eric - 350Z There's more, but that's the confirmed now. Doody -- I should clarify: I doubt 40+ people will show,rather, I was pointing out that the space can hold quite a few cars. Again, it is a public street with cab only parking. However I doubt there will be that many cabs in the AM. Hopefully BMS will be back soon, but let's keep the list here rolling. -N
