New yorkers! wanna do a group drive?

satyamenon · 17th March 2010, 15:01

Actually, I'm going to be in NY next week on work. Only problem is I fly out to India next sunday (28th March). Will be back after a month.

When I'm back, can definitely take a few days off near a weekend to fly up there.

Kolkata Member vrooooooom (Pushpak) is in NYC for a month - please send him a PM. BlackPearl is also there (somewhere in Texas). AK Roy is now based at Cali'.

Have fun and drive safe

Harbir · 17th March 2010, 18:10

Satya, do give me a buzz when you're up here, lets catch up a drink and dinner.

Sure thing Harbir!

Anybody want to catch up this Sunday?
Maybe we can put in some ideas about the next drive.

Harbir · 19th March 2010, 03:59

Well, I am driving to Philadelphia on saturday. a potential buyer is driving up from virginia to meet me there to look at the car. another guy in california wants to fly out with cash to buy the car if it doesn't sell this weekend.

I guess I'll be reduced to driving my Honda Accord in our group events. :(

tacho · 19th March 2010, 07:43

I am in for any weekend unless something else comes up, which, considering my non-existent social life, is unlikely. Keep me in the loop.

Dang. Thats sad man. Would have been nice to see the yellow hornet on another drive. Well, you can always drive the ZHZ...

By the way, the avis down here has a couple of Camaro 2SS for rent.

Unless you trade it in for a Gen II CTS-V.

550 hp + sorted chassis + 5 seater = one fast family gaddi

vrooooooom · 19th March 2010, 09:58

Wow...sound like fun. I am in NYC. Located at 50th street between 8th and 9th. Lets meet up guys for a drink and maybe some drive.
You can reach me at +1 464 413 2427

then I'd just keep the lotus

the idea is to shed the financial burden since I don't drive much!

the idea of consolidating into one car HAS occured to me however, but my choice if I did that would be a nice low mileage Imola red or LeMans Blue E39 M5.

That's a beautiful car!
I was surfing the classifieds this week and there are a couple around - not too bad price-wise.

Satya, definitley hope to see you when you get back from India - I won't be around in NYC next week, as usual.

BlackPearl, vrooom, rj, I'll send you guys a PM so if you guys are free on Sunday we can meet up for a bite or something (unfortunately, Saturday is out for me).

I'll PM / call a few others and see if anybody else wants to meet up.

ps. anybody keen on going for the Canadian GP?

Harbir · 30th March 2010, 03:40

well, the lotus is to gone, so no more group runs in that.

aah78 · 4th April 2010, 10:43

The 2 drives we had were fantastic - the boom from the Lotus exhaust just before it would zoom off into the distance.

Harbir, are you fixed upon a Trooper or anything else on your radar too - a nice E39 perhaps?

I'm planning on going to the NY Auto Show tomorrow - anyone interested in coming?
I know Sunday is the worst day to go but I have no option - I had to attend a wedding today and I won't be in town during the week.
