Awesome :tup:

I dunno about that. Winters get all nimbly bimbly above 50 degrees. :icon17:

lol, sorry, I just love this term :icon17:

I'm very dissapointed in you all not even touching my comment about melting rubbers

Why, was that a proposition? :eek:

:iagree:

It's a common occurrence caused by the friction from rubbing up against Shado's erps :rofl2:

LOL nimbly bimbly I like that. Come on now bring a heated jacket and you should be straight Steve; besides the hot spicy wings at hooters should also help :p

I'm hoping to get an oil cooler on before the cruise, not sure if I've got time to install it though...

Its not necessary for the cruise, but still awesome man :tup:

I might need it to keep up with some of these guys:rofl2:

If I can do it without a problem, then you should be able to do it too. Of course, you do have the slower 6MT :driving: :stirthepot:

Yeah, and all the extra heat that is generated by the red paint...

There must be a lot of heat generated from your hawtness the red paint. :roflpuke2:

Are you sure about that man? I thought I saw this on the mapped route ;)

On a related note, how intense would you say this cruise is?

:p What oil cooler are you going with man? Will you take it off when having maintenance work at the dealership?

I'm thinking Z1. I'm probably going to wait one more oil change, just to make sure there aren't any OC issues.

I'm not really concerned about warranty things related to the cooler, as long as my car hasn't started consuming oil. Most of the issues that crop up are unrelated to the cooler.

No risk of over heating on this cruise, we all follow Shado...
And we know Black Cherry is the slowest color.. :stirthepot:

:icon18:

:iagree:

I look forward to driving on that no speed limit road. Can you give me the location on Google maps? :p

My oil temp didn't go over 240. We get some breaks in between the intense driving, which gives some time for the oil to cool down a bit.

So like 5/10? 7/10? 110/10?

*cough*faster than a Magnetic Black Nismo in the corners*cough*

lol :stirthepot:

This cruise is not tooooo intense. Most of York Road is straight, with a possibility of slow traffic ahead. There are a few spots to whoop it up.

Loch Raven is really the intense section, and that only lasts for a few short minutes.

But wait until we do "Big Al's Big Dam Cruise" in coming months. Pretty Boy Reservoir is F*CKING intense. :roflpuke2:

It is what you make of it. If you stay with the pack and respect all laws its an enjoyable drive with some good scenery. If you fall behind at a redlight and have to catch up to the rest of the guys....:driving:

OK, I'm just trying to figure out who I can allow to come along. I'm a wimp on public roads, but I know some other guys aren't.

Well looks like I'm out for this cruise as well. I'm going to have my camber kit installed on Saturday. At some point I'll make it though. Someone take video!

So I guess we're still on for tomorrow? Meet @ Starbucks 10:00 right? Looks like the rain is going to hold off. Sounds like 4r3s is not going to make it.

We should have a backup plan in case it's raining or the roads are still wet. I say we downgrade to a regular MD meet at Dobbin.

I'll be at Hooters @ 9. If it rains, we could do Dobbin. Minimally I'll go to both starting pts (hooters, sbux) in case ppl show up.

I'm gonna check out the roads as soon as I get up. If they're wet is it safe to assume that we're just gonna do Dobbin? I'll check this and the starbucks thread for more info. So be sure to post what we're doing. :tup:

I think Dan and I are gonna head out from Fairfax around 8am tomorrow. Hopefully this rain clears out tonight and its just cloudy.

Sounds good, but make sure you're headed towards the right place first :icon17:

The forecast I saw said it would stop around 9, but you never know. If it's nasty, you can go to Dobbin. I'll be at the starting pts to scoop up lost puppies :tup: I can make my way to Dobbin from there.

so what's the deal....??

dry = cruise,

wet/rain = Target, Dobbin Rd

Looks like it's going to rain all night, right through to 6am at least, so I think the roads are going to suck..

So anyone thinking a reguar meet, and maybe a cruise next time, in the hope of warm weather..?

U got it. Z's are fair weather cars.

That's what I read on weather.com. I will be bringing my Z regardless of the weather.

Well maybe I'll hit Hooters at 9am as it's right up the road from me, then if it's crappy weather I guess we'll met at Target (Dobbin Rd) at 10am.

Sounds like a plan, D

Got an address for the Target or city so I can google just in case I feel like driving 40 minutes south tomorrow? I just got the Z back on the road and have been looking forward to meets again.
