5/4 Cinco De Mayo Dinner and Drive @ El Mariachi, New Milford, Ct. - LotusTalk

Vangman · 04-16-2008, 09:49 AM

Cinco de Mayo is almost here. So its time to start planning this year's meet. So lets start by getting a count of how many people are interested. Also, is there someone from that area who can identify some lovely roads to drive on prior to dinner? Lets say tentatively we'd meet for the drive around 1. Drive for a couple of hours and then meet at the restaurant for 430ish to site down and celebrate. Thoughts and opinions? (boy that's a loaded question!!!)

Mike, I can probably map out some roads. I'm in the New Milford area all the time as it's right between my two residences.

30mpg · 04-16-2008, 06:09 PM

I'm in so long as I'm in town.

Mariachi sounds great. Only problem is I'm going to want to drink a margarita, and I don't have an autopilot yet. Doh!!

WHAT??? I drove all the way down to the fish & chips run. That was a long 3 hour ride home. Come on, you can do it!!!

How about karting afterwards?

Vangman · 04-17-2008, 03:10 PM

They have a breathalyser test before you go on the track. So that may be out of the question. But I will put it out to the group:

Would you rather go on a scenic drive or go karting before we go to El Mariachi?

BMJM100 · 04-21-2008, 06:23 AM

I'll see if I can get a couple of us from Ma. to come down. Milford is a fun run to get to!

karting!

scottyb · 04-21-2008, 07:39 AM

Since that's my neck of the woods, Alan contact me and we can arrange for an awesome ride.

HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't decide between driving and karting especially given the awesome rates at On-Track.

I'll be happy with either decision.

Do they really breathalyze you or is that only if you APPEAR to be intoxicated?

Yes, been crazy with work, and just got back from Disney.

I've never seen it but I also don't want to get into a situation where they feel I need to be tested.

FYI, that's NEW Milford which is on Route 7, about halfway up the western edge of CT. Milford is along I95 betweem Bridgeport and New Haven - not good!
