So who all from here is going... that is, besides MadMerv?
Bill,
Good drive, good day and good food. Perfect. We had a large group and it was nice to see some of the "old" LSMC members. I would have counted but we split into three groups: Leaders, Losts and Lags:rolleyes: . It was an amazing thing to see as all showed up at the same place.

Sorry I missed it! I did at least get to say hello to some folks at the meetup spot while I grabbed some lunch. Catfish would have been better.Quote:

I had a guy at work that went to Jack in the box for lunch tell me all about the 12 miata's he saw at there. Pretty neat when you get recognition from a non-miata owner:D
well i was there, and got to see riverracer... don't know if anyone else made it since i'm not familiar with everyone on this forum but the drive was lovely, we stopped at a gas station and the girl behind the counter looked outside the window and couldn't believe all the Miatas out there, hahaa...
funny thing was that some ppl were commenting about a miata with a band-aid on its bumper and how silly that was, i just replied that it was mine and i was hoping that it would help my bumper heal, maybe i'll try some neosporin the next time...
Great run:salut: Bill!!!
Shelley and I were there. Me in Sunny and Shelley was in the Mini. We had her son, and he swapped back and forth. The roads on the first section had lots of nice sweepers, but it was WAY too slow :( I finally started passing and got to the front just before we stopped...... Second half was pretty boring. The catfish was ok, but we all smelled so bad from the fried food atmosphere that we had to throw all our clothes in the washer.
As has been typical for the last five years, eating is more important than driving....sigh. It was, however, nice to see some friends from the old days, but it's still not my kind of club anymore :drive:
There was one 2006....tallest car in the bunch! It was pretty, though, and VERY red. Unfortunately, I saw more red brake lights than were necessary when I was behind it.
We ended up with 25 cars, 39 people.
Weather was good, roads were great, and not a single whiner or cry-baby! No complaints about driving speeds, directions, or too much CB chatter. Nobody got lost, (at least not for long). And the catfish was good and the pies plentiful.
The only thing that hacked me off was the fellow (and new LSMC member) who bought his '06 SE at the state fair, when I'VE been on a waiting list for 2 months, and am told there isn't likely to be any available!!!
Merv... forgot to mention... this wasn't really typical of our drives. We were trying to reach out to some new people.
The drives over the last couple of years have become more interesting. Particularly since the "stay together" mindset has pretty much gone away. We actively encourage people to drive their own pace, and enjoy themselves. As you know, if you have more than two cars, you'll have varying driving styles.
Yesterday was similar to usual runs in that there were 2-3 groups that formed up naturally. The only diff is that the front group usually runs a bit faster.
Great seeing you guys, and I do hope we see you again soon...
Someone is blowing smoke up your ash, there are two SE's listed within 50 miles of my house if you do a search on Mazda's Website.Quote:

Thanks for the info... when I checked I was told by both dealers that the cars were not yet sold, but were "committed".
Walk in with cash in hand and their commitment will surely shift...Quote:
