Group Drive (Sunday) June 24th.

Post by **jspec603** » Tue May 29, 2007 1:25 pm

Hey all you kiddies out there! DJButton and I are planning a group drive to the Kangamangus Hwy in NH for the 24th of June. What we'd like to do is meet in Concord at exit 13 off of I93 behind the Common Man restaurant. We'd be meeting around 11am and starting the drive at noon. (sooner if everyone shows up right away). We'd love to get as many Nissan enthusiasts involved as possible. This is not going to be a race around NH, more of a gathering and get to know you while doing what we all like most... driving our Nissan's! It's prolly best to pack a lunch, not many places to eat up that way. Also, make sure all your cameras are charged!! Need lots of pics for Nico! Please let us know who's going to be going!

Name: Phone number: How far your coming from to meet us:

Come on guys! You know you wanna make a trip and drive the Kangamangus! Heck, we can even make a side trip to Mt. Washington if you want! This road is too fun to drive!

Here's a teaser from last year...

And these are from Mt. Washington (stolen from ~4N~ )

whats with that train pic? is it off the track? its at a weird angle

Post by **jspec603** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 4:41 pm

it was built like that to push the train cars up the mountain instead of pull it... Google 'Cog Railway NH' it'll explain everything. lol

I went snowboarding at wildcat on my vaca. home in march. views and roads were stunning to say the least. COME ON PEOPLE!!! haha this is the closest you'll get to initial D style roads

Post by **tiger-SE-R** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 1:01 pm

I would love to drive up that way, unfortunatley I have tickets to a Mets game that afternoon. I'll be watching this post to see if your cruise day changes for some reason. I havent been up to NH in over a year when I went snowboarding at Loon.

Any other takers??? Times running out! lol

Post by **xsublimefrekx** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:10 am

did you post this on 240sxone.com they have alot of new england people. I would go but the drive from ct to there is just to long. Looks like fun though and good luck with the turnout.

Post by **DJButton** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 11:46 am

Posting on 240sxONE right now actually! Hopefully it doesn't get overlooked in the shuffle.

Post by **jspec603** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 1:08 pm

there must be some of you that wanna come along for a fun drive???? any takers at all?

Post by **eazye2000** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 12:01 pm

I'll be coming from Bedford, MA. I live on base here at Hanscom. 352 3026163

My 'T' fittings for my oil pressure gauge, idiot light, and turbo feed line broke the other day on my way to work. If I can get it fixed by then, I'm definitely down for a cruise. I used to live in Nashua, but I'm not familiar with the area you're talking about. I'll try like hell to find it though!

I really wish i saw this sooner, i might be able to go, im right in Concord. Im pretty sure mine can make it... whats the mineage of this trip?

Steve603 568 3407

2(?) miles

Post by **jspec603** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 8:37 am

hmmm milage? lets see...dunno! lol. It's about an hr up to the Kank and about 30-45 mins driving it...I think. Then the drive back home. But figure in that we will not be driving it straight through....we're gonna stop at the rest areas on the high point of the road for a break, pictures and shoot the ish for a bit too. It'll be fun bro!

Post by **DJButton** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 2:12 pm

Hope you can make it fenris, I remember seeing a post from you like two years ago, and thought holy crap someone in Concord!

There are a bunch of local guys it turns out, mostly on other boards and too good to meet new people.

Post by **eazye2000** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 1:45 am

Ok, so I had a root canal on Wednesday and I'm still hurting this Friday morning. But I swindled a few friends to come over with some prescription drugs and beer to help get the car fixed.

I should be able to make it, as long as I can get Sunday off.. I'm gonna play the hurt/sore card at work and see what they say.

And thanks DJ. I may just call you today if at all possible. I'm going to work, but I'm just gonna stand around and suck up hourly today. No working on cars or commission... I'll be baked.

And hopefully....See ya there!~Eric~

You live on Hanscom? My roommate works there at MIT Lincoln Labs...

on a side note, I'm gonna try and make this meet, car is an obnoxious two tone of primer and gloss black right now, waitin for the paint job. Also waitin on my S14 seats and need to install the 5 speed sittin next to it in the garage... but may take it out on one last cruise as an auto.

Post by **eazye2000** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 12:22 pm

Yeah man. My wife is active duty, so we get a pad on the base here. Not to mention Beer is cheap!

I'm gonna look the car over tomorrow, and make sure she's "long trip worthy". Back tires could use a fresh pair, but I should be able to make it with no problems. Gotta mix up my special elixir for the gas tank because I get crappy mileage, and I need to add a bit of juice to bump her up to 105-110 octane cuz I don't have any timing adjustability as of right now. She'll probably blow up if I don't be careful!

good to see some guys from mass coming up!!! (hopefully!!!) just a reminder, its exit 13 off I93...take a left off the exit under the bridge. We'll be meeting in/near the parking lot of the Common Man resturant.

My cell if anyone needs better directions:

603-540-0847

Also, this is just the starting point of our drive! It's still gonna be another few hrs after that!!!

Post by **DJButton** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 2:43 pm

I hope you guys can make it up here! Should be a blast, looking like the weather will hold up for us as well!

Post by **eazye2000** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 4:37 pm

I'm bringing a co-pilot with me so I have someone to blame it on when I get lost. LoLJ/K... I'm bringing him, and a GPS.

DJ, or Jspec, if you're up tonight, give me a call. I'll be up till about midnight or a little thereafter. I'm gonna need some directions for sure.

split up for 'google' reasons..

Post by **eazye2000** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:47 pm

Success! I hope everyone had a good time. I know I had a blast just riding around, looking at the scenery. Too bad my co-pilot couldn't use a camera worth a darn. We did have one casualty on the trip though. Fenris (Steve)'s car decided to blow a hole in the radiator. Wasn't too bad, and it was caught in time before anything overheated and got messed up.Other than that, everything was great! I wish more people could have came out and took a drive with us. It was roughly 76F outside and got a bit cooler as we went up the mountain. Awesome day for a drive!

And here's some pics. As I said before, please don't hold me responsible for the quality, or the date stamp that is totally wrong by a year..

Post by **tiger-SE-R** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:57 pm

Looks like a great ride! Hopefully I can make it next time

Post by **jspec603** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 4:18 pm

Man! This was an awesome day!!! Fenris, don't worry man, we're already looking for a new rad for your car!!! All in all this was a total success today! We had a great time even tho not very many people went... Here's some more pics for your viewing pleasure!

Post by **0wn3r** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 7:37 pm

props for the clean cars.

bet that was a blast

Post by **eazye2000** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 9:01 pm

Yeah, I told Fenris I would give him my OEM one if he was willing to hook me up with gas money to bring it to him.

That sounds fair, right?

Maybe we should start another thread for BS'ing..
