I might be, not sure what's happening that weekend yet. Are you coming out this weekend for our drive? CLOC AUGUST EVENT - Summer Mountain Drive..Squirrel Spur v2.0

docjay · 08-14-2009, 06:30 PM

My car is at LOD getting Supercharged!!

NCZ06 · 08-14-2009, 07:14 PM

I can't make it to Squirrel Spur, but I might be up for a drive on the 23rd. Where were you thinking of going?

docjay · 08-15-2009, 06:48 PM

Any suggestions close by??

Maggie · 08-20-2009, 11:41 AM

Are you still interested in going for a drive? I got a new-to-me Elise and want to test it out!

BTW, I saw your car several times this week (since I spent a significant amount of time at LOD)--looks good! It was in the detailing bay right behind mine. I didn't really go over and check it out, though.

NCZ06 · 08-20-2009, 01:12 PM

I might still be up for Sunday. I am going to work on my cruise control install on Saturday and if that goes well I may head to the mountains on Sunday.

docjay · 08-21-2009, 04:58 AM

Keep me posted--Sunday looks like a perfect day.

111Ramirez · 08-21-2009, 07:46 AM

I may be interested.

ACE51 · 10-23-2009, 09:12 AM

hey docjay and loti of NC lets go to the dragon sometime soon maybe?

Maggie · 10-23-2009, 11:25 AM

This Sunday (10/25) is supposed to be nice, let's do lunch and a drive! I'm rather new to the area so I'm not great at finding places to eat and fun roads to drive, but unless someone has a good idea how about meeting at Leesville Taproom (Leesville Tap Room) at 12:30, and then going from there? Anybody else want to meet? Got a better place to meet? I'm willing to drive, just let me know where and when!

carnutdr · 10-23-2009, 03:09 PM

If you ever wish to drive to cameron, NC I go driving on back roads almost every Sunday but not this Sunday as will be in Charlotte. Cameron is in the Sandhills just NW of ft Bragg and East North East of Pinehurst. We are halfway between Tramway and so Pines off US # 1.
I have the first Lotus that LOD supercharged last year.

Hey -
I am around on Sunday. Aaron you around?
Probably could not get to Raleigh in time.
Dragon is too far away, eh?
Maybe up to Parkway?
Ideas?

Maggie · 10-24-2009, 04:10 AM

Sounds good to me. I think the Dragon is too far for a day trip for me, really--five hours there and five hours back makes for a loooonnnnng day. But there are other mountain roads. We went up to Squirrel Spur which is a pretty cool one, lot less traffic than the Dragon too. Lots of fun roads up there.

I have a 2005 elise (not YET supercharged) and will be moving to Greensboro area in January to work at the hospital there (physician as well!). Shoot me an email and we can talk more. Would love to meet up then for a drive and I could use someone more knowledgeable of the Lotus as I just got mine.

09EliseMW · 10-24-2009, 12:30 PM

i am always up for a drive anywhere. but im getting close to my next oil change. id say about 400 miles or so. so if i go to raliegh and back thatll put me near... 100 miles left till oil change. unless we can do an oil change at someones house tomorrow. that would work. but if we go on a drive. let me know! ill make the trip.

ACE51 · 10-24-2009, 01:40 PM

Sunday (tomorrow) sounds good. Now we just need a sense of direction and meeting point.

Savet · 10-24-2009, 01:51 PM

Where are you guys meeting/driving? Would you have room for one more?

09EliseMW · 10-24-2009, 02:34 PM

We always have have room for one more. Join us!

docjay · 10-24-2009, 02:45 PM

We could meet at 12:30 PM at J.P. Looney's on corner of HWY 68 and HWY 150 in Oak Ridge. Then head out from there.

Maggie--Have you done the Squirrel Spur?? It would be close from Oak Ridge.

09Elise--You can change your oil after the run at my house--We can do it in 30 mins---Get the K&N HP2009 and some 10W40 and we are set. I have the jack helper so it is easy.

I am getting a lift for Christmas so then we will do all our work here

Let's all meet even if we just eat lunch and ride around local.

Feel free to call me--

See everyone tomorrow???
