Wanna Go for a Ride? - LotusTalk

Chris D. · 05-28-2009, 04:03 PM

I'm bored. Let's drive. How about Saturday morning? The weather is supposed to be good. We could follow the same route we took last year or something similar.
Google Maps
Any good BBQ places that we could go to for lunch in Leesburg? I like BBQ.

MikeinAlexandria · 05-28-2009, 04:06 PM

I'd be up for a drive! Just need tp be back in Old Town Alexandria by 3pm. (Have a yacht charter to take care of)

Maggie · 05-28-2009, 07:27 PM

Sure. I gotta be in Sterling VA at 1 PM, but that's not too far away--as long as we're back in Leesburg by 12:30 or so.

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 03:41 AM

I am down Chris!

Chris D. · 05-29-2009, 05:28 AM

Starting & Ending Point
I suggest we meet at the Red, Hot & Blue located at 521 E. Market Street in Leesburg and depart at 8:30 a.m. (Yes, that's early, but the idea is to be on the road before the traffic gets too bad.) It would be a good idea to top off your tank before arriving. There is a Dunkin Doughnuts next door and we can have lunch at Red, Hot & Blue at the end of the run.

So the driving route in my first post will be the same except that we will end up at Red, Hot & Blue. Also, some of you thought we should have taken a different road between Snickersville Pike and Route 50. I am open to changing that if someone has a suggestion.

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 06:01 AM

8:30 goodlord! J/K I will be there flying solo this time.

Who else is in?

Maggie · 05-29-2009, 06:56 AM

I'm in. Looks like I'm solo too, so if there's anyone who's been wanting a ride in a Lotus I might be able to take a passenger. If you're annoying I may dump you out mid way, though.

serpent · 05-29-2009, 08:42 AM

i would like to a passenger in a car, i've never been in a true "street drive" in an elise/exige. This would definitely sway my vote and make me get one faster, lol.

Scrumpot · 05-29-2009, 09:29 AM

I'll drop you a line, next event that Trevor can't attend then, and we could possibly make this so for you then.

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 09:30 AM

The title of this thread so reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkins song, I can't remember the name of the song though.

Maggie · 05-29-2009, 09:32 AM

Hey Serpent, you can certainly ride with me this time, but you should take Grant up on that offer too--he's rather faster than I am (and his Exige is pretty awesome)!

Yes. That's theme song for this run. Make sure you have it cued up when you roll in.

"Zero"

My reflection, dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover, I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when we're really gonna need'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Wanna go for a ride?

She's the one for me
She's all I really need
Cause she's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and god is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bull**** fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 10:01 AM

Zero that is it thanks. I will have to try to down load it tonight just for you Chris.

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 10:03 AM

fishtaco you are motivated to type that up!

MikeinAlexandria · 05-29-2009, 10:40 AM

This sounds great. I will be there. Will anyone have route directions? I'll be taking up the rear since my Elise is driver-speed-limited to 79.99mph... lol. Especially in Virginia!

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 02:38 PM

Who else is in? Anyone?

pazuzu · 05-29-2009, 02:55 PM

I would love to join you all -itchin to drive- room for 1 more?

V-RAPTOR · 05-29-2009, 03:12 PM

Of course always room for CO. Meet us at Red Hot and Blue in Leesburg. We are leaving at 8:30.
