[Spinnywhoosh]

This just in, Jacksonville's First Coast Miatas are showing some interest in riding down to join GNVmiatas and Orlando Miata club at Dam Diner in Ocala National Forest on the 20th!

Here's a link from the GNV forum on our route:

If the First Coast Miatas and Orlando Miata Club could post some quick Google Map routes that'd be awesome.

Here's one I created for FCMC, still waiting on final word for this:

Thumper already opened a thread on this for October 20, I will be there. I been wanting to see Ocala for some time now. I hope it will be on a cool day.

[Thumper13]

This could wind up to be a pretty neat little gathering. I like the way this is gaining interest.

[SM16RMSM]

I just realized that EpisodeM is on the same day too.

somebody better let the diner know whats going to hit them. That place might be in the middle of knowhere but they are very busy and on the small side

Actually,the number of cars will be about the same as before. Maybe 5 to 6 cars from each direction. Small groups of cars in any one spot. We had more on OUR last diner run.

[f86sabjf]

good luck out there

[SteelReign]

It'll be a blast! perfect place to test out the new exhaust...and I've read that the place has good food...

[f86sabjf]

oh boy there chicken fried steak will stuff you thats for sure and if you like biscuits and gravy there delicious. I've seen a many person not be able to finish the half order

[SteelReign]

I've never had a chicken fried steak that was good...but if they have fried chicken, I'm gonna look forward to some of that! Food coma driving back? possibility...

[Spinnywhoosh]

How bout hammocks set up for naps!

[f86sabjf]

Food coma guaranteed :) there cf steak I had last time melted in your mouth.

They do have a nice grassy field next door for a nap:)

[Thumper13]

Sure,we can string them up between two cars. Would you like your pillow fluffed sir ?

I hate to bring this up, but in other car forums I'm part of, we try not to publicly publish the route due to possible monitoring from LEOs who might use it to setup a nice surprise for the people on the drive. :(

That's true...anyone interested should probably PM the organizer/OP.

[Thumper13]

We'll each go over the route at time of departure. Make sure you have a GPS and the Diner's address in case you get separated from your group.

LEOS could be a problem so posting the route we want to use could be helpful if we lead them astray.

[ramius]

Smoke and mirrors!

[Spinnywhoosh]

Weeeell, Jacksonville is out. Something came up with the President of the club.. Oh well, maybe next time.

[SM16RMSM]

I don't know, I torn between the EpisodeM meet and the Dam Diner run. I still watching what the weather will do. That will be my deciding factor.

[Thumper13]

I wouldn't be torn...we can run the Diner anytime. episodeM comes around once a year.

[SM16RMSM]

Any new updates, were getting closer????

[Thumper13]

Good question. I can't get on CR.Net ( fucked up AGAIN ,no not me ,them ) I'll try and get Andrew to check on those guys and I will try and find out what's going on with Gainesville,if they are coming.

Now if my throwout bearing holds together I'll be there. I really beat the crap out of my clutch and tranny at the Dragon ( it really sucks when you have the road all to yourself :shocked:) . It did get me all the way back home though, 518 miles.

[SteelReign]

Gainesville Miata Club is still in! Scott's got his car back too so el presidente should be able to ride.

[maharaj]

Looks like the weather is going to be good!:frantic:

[SM16RMSM]

:shocked::frantic::slayer:

[Thumper13]

[Spinnywhoosh]

NO,thank you. The 666 Devil is just me !!

[ramius]

So is anyone actually going to the meet up tomorrow morning? :|

[SM16RMSM]

Well, this is great. Thumper is out now. Is there anyone going from the east coast, Orlando area? I don't know the route. Hell, I don't even know where we are going to meet up and what time

[SM16RMSM]

I will be at the Crackel Barrel in the morning. I hope someone knows where they are going. Also, Thumper, can you PM me with a possible route to run tomorrow. It is late now but at least some of us won't be lost. A nice route with turns and such.

[Spinnywhoosh]

Oh man.... Well this is the final destination: 10:00 - Dam Diner
9685 Southeast 160th Avenue, Ocklawaha, FL

Not too hard to plan a route on google maps.. REALLY hope to see you guys out there!

[SM16RMSM]

I don't know. I just pulled up into the crack barrel and no one is here.

[SteelReign]

^great meeting you and everyone else! Freaky how that severed pig's head was gone after seeing it just 15 minutes before!
