Also, Michael has even extended an offer to do something "extra special" for each of us.

That being said, please e-mail me the model and year of your car, along with your license plate number. This information will only be shared with me, Mike from Paul's and will most likely end up on a personalized souvenier.

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY CONFIRMED YOUR ATTENDANCE WITH ME VIA E-MAIL, PLEASE DO SO BY THIS COMING THURSDAY. WE HAVE 10 CONFIRMED PARTICIPANTS THUS FAR.
Have a great weekend!

Schweet! Nice work Frank.

I hope that we get allot of participation - I am looking forward to meeting everyone. My experience with Pauls has always been top notch & I hope that you all can come and experience their hospitality first hand.

Any attendees have any photography skills? The proposed cruise route has several really cool photo ops.

T minus 7 days and counting...

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (rainmaker71)

I just want to verify that this GTG is in fact SATURDAY the 24th... rainmaker71s email says "Sunday, September 24th"

If it was Sunday, I'd be able to go, but not Saturday the 24th...

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (Davideo)

Bear Mountain is like 3 miles from me. I was just there last night. Ex-Volvo owners welcome?

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (KMK454)

In your case, I am sure it would be acceptable...We will just have to slow down once in a while to let you catch up.....

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (volvos60r2k4)

Ha ha

If you want to do a fast Bear Mountain run, though, you're better off doing it at night. There's a state police station right in the middle of it, and park police all over. Also, during the day you have to share the road with people cruising, motorcyclists, cyclists, runners, walkers, fishers... It's beautiful to cruise mid-day and makes for a good photo-op, but not wise or fair to speed.

10PM or so is when it's vacated, that's when you have your fun... but watch for deer!

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (KMK454)

Everything that Kurt says is correct. The best and only time
for fast runs are around midday during the week say a Tuesday or Wednesday and then only with spotters communicating to drivers via
radio.

The weekends are packed with hikers and bicycles and other obstacles.

This particular weekend mentioned is Oktoberfest at Bear Mountain and all of the roads will be packed if the weather is good. I am going to try to catch up with some Volvo's if they are in the area still at 4pm. I hope I see
you and you will follow me to some secret other locations in the Sterling Forest area http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (Davideo)

Sorry folks...smartypants ALERT on my part...

The GTG is SATURDAY the 24th.

I got the info from Michael at Paul's late on Friday and was trying to run out the door.

See you there!!!

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (rainmaker71)

Anybody that is interested coming from Central Jersey we can meet at Best Buy across from Bridgewater Mall at 8 am and leave at 8:15 for Hawthorne. The Best Buy parking lot is smaller with one entrance. When entering the parking lot about 100' down the driveway there is parking on the left. We can then head up 287 to 208 to Goffle Road. The car with GPS can lead

.

My wife wanted to know how I knew this was not some organized car theft ring stealing Rs. She thought it would be funny if our cars were all taken and we were all left standing carless, in Hawthorne, in our "R" embroidered preppy underwear.

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (volvos60r2k4)

I am definitely interested in meeting at the Best Buy, see you there at 8 am.

BTW they would have to wrench the steering wheel from my cold dead hands before they would get my R

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (NewVMan)

Sounds Good, I wlll meet you at Best buy and then we can head up.

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (volvos60r2k4)

I'll be there at 8 as well.

Regards,

Isaak

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (igvolvo)

Excellent,
Not to intimidate you guys but I took the day off to clean the car. I even cleaned the brake dust out of my Wheel "R"

It's amazing how the road rash just spreads on those 18"wheels. The only thing that saves them is the Pirelli Active Rim Protector. You hit a bump and a bubble pops out to protect the rim.

The unfortunate part is that it appears the bubble protects after the rim scrapes...

Fun Times

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (volvos60r2k4)

i didn't take a day off, but I washed my car in a car wash. See you tomorrow

 

Re: New Jersey Roundup - FINAL DETAILS & ITENERARY (igvolvo)

I have to work tomorrow and also I am buying a 06 GT. What a coincident
thing that I am hopefully buying an R but ironic also working 1000-1500 tomorrow so as to miss the meeting. But also maybe I can come with the 6MT because the dealer does not meet my price demands. Either way I am partying right now and I am Volvo all the way but am a big time volvo rally guy with much Bear Mountain/Harriman experience http://********************/smile/emthup.gif

 

iIf I lived in NJ - I'd be there....but from CA it's kind of a long drive..

you guys have fun. take pics and share with the rest of us!

 

Unfortunately, I'll not be able to make it today.

Maybe, next time.

It looks like you guys will have a great time! Enjoy!
