"Da Early Risers" Informal Run - Sunday, June 6

Utkarsh,

I just got back from a biz trip and saw this string. Moving to the Lambo huh...looking forward to seeing that machine after only having a chance to run with you in the 360 on one outing. Good luck with the new acquisition.

 

Weather not looking like fun...probably won't be there ;(

 

Still showers Sam. Keep the faith!

 

Are you serious? I can not believe this? WHY???????? You HAVE to give me a ride before the trade.

 

depends if i wake up, calling for rain in the am

 

Hey guys,

are we still on for tomorrow, or should we say in less than 5 hours?
Just got home and I am drunk and tired.

The thought of waking up in 5 hours only to check on whether its raining
is just crazy! But I will do it. =)

I say, who cares about the rain.
Its going to be like today, on/off drizzle, whats the big deal?
Ok, I think the alcohol is kicking me up a notch.

 

Keith has a point. 100 miles here or there isn't going to make any difference whatsoever. Just think:

-- Fueling up: $50 dollars
-- Playing Russian roulette on one of us getting a ticket: $150 dollars
-- Getting on last ride in with all your buddies before heading to Desi land: priceless.

Seriously. Come along.

 

Hey Vik,

So we are on for sure, or is it still a play it by ear thang.

 

With you on this one brother. Let's just make sure the light rain doesn't turn into anything more than that. Last thing we need is a bunch of Prancing Horses sliding across the road / hydroplaning on super-thin slicks.

 

If I'm not at Lupe's by 8AM, please just forget about me and have a wonderful time. Something came up and I'm terribly sorry.

 

hey utkarsh,

the murci is really nice, great car...
go for it.

and since I just helped you with in your decision process, in return you must give me your straight pipes, and capristo.
whos going to by a 360 with those mods? =)

 

I'm high up in the sky, so I can't see squat outside. Doesn't look like it's raining, but then again, hard to say. Let's make a decision around 6:00am.

And here I was thinking I'm the only nut-case up at this time. Did you guys end up partying Jon?

 

I freakin left my cell in the cab when I was heading up to my friends bday party. I wanted to meet up with emil and kerri first and then meet up with
noah, but couldnt reach them with no phone.

Dont worry about rain, I did a rain dance at Lot61.

 

Any chance it was the holy-crap-it's-2:30am-and-I-ain't-gettin'-my-bum-up at-7:00am "thing" that came up.

Awww, come on Kenster.

 

just got home now. f@cken 4AM. sorry but wont be able to make it at 7am. i'm dead drunk and tired as hell. need to catch up on sleep. i'm terribly sorry.

damn...no chick in my bed tonite

 

Understood. Get some rest.

 

was that a rain dance for rain or to avert rain?

OK, it's 6:31am. Where's Vik to make the run call?

{ring}{ring}{ring}{ring} this is your alarm clock Vik.
Time to get up & make the call

 

It's cool but dry outside.

Two words: WE'RE ON!

 

TTG,

Are you going? Give me a call.

 

Vik,

The issue is the car is at 1700 miles right now, todays driving + any additional driving is gonna get it real close to 2k, which by itself is a significant depreciation hit

 

Wow its 8:30 am and its POURRING here in Fort Lee, I hope u guys made out ok

 

Won't make it, got to go to the Connecticut concours, but hope you guys had fun.
Zach

 

hope u guys are having a safe drive.....

As the infrequent poster F-Chatter meteorologist, I see the east-west rain band that drifted north over northern New Jersey and Long Island around 8-9 AM has cleared those areas so Ghost and cohorts may actually have it quite dry down the Jersey shore. It is pouring now on the Greenwich Concours and here in New Canaan but the band should clear those areas as well in the next hour so I am heading down to Greenwich now but may leave the 348 home.

 

Smart idea. Weather was actually clear when we made the call to go this morning, but as soon as we were in Jersey we caught a decent shower. Wasn't particularly heavy, just irritatingly consistent.

Nonetheless, it was a good group of us. We caught up at Lupe's, got some breakfast, and as always, had some good fun and laughs -- we also had an ad hoc WD-40 session.

I didn't bring my camera, but the other boys did, and pics should be up shortly.
