Cross country 240sx meet, starring ME! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**mrmephistopheles** · 05-30-2003, 10:36 AM

Don't worry, I'll move this to meets & blah blah once I figure out if anyone's interested..

I'm driving back across the country next week (starting the 5th) and I think it'd be pretty damn cool to meet up with other 240sx ppl that I wouldn't normally get a chance to meet along the way..

I'll lay out my general timetable and the route I'll be taking, so that if anyone would like to be somewhere along the way, we can meet up, have some McDonalds, and ogle each other's cars and take pictures and stuff (run-ons are fun!).

First off: I'll be leaving Havelock NC on the 5th (time unknown) and my first destination will be Birmingham, AL.
I'll be taking 70W to I95 S to 20W, through ATL and into Birmingham.

Hopefully I'll get to meet up with some ATL/GA peeps and schmoozle w/ them.

I'll stay overnight in Birmingham and then drive to New Orleans the next day via I59 to I10.

I'll stay there one night, and then drive to El Paso the next day via I10. Houston and San Anto represent!?

I'll stay in El Paso for as long as I need to sleep to be refreshed and then I'll motor into San Diego via I10/8 to my new apartment (which I have yet to see

)

I'm estimating being in the following places on the following days:
If i can leave here on the morning of the 5th:
Havelock-BHam on the 5th
BHam-NO on the 6th
NO-ElPaso on the 7th
ElPaso-SD on the 8th

However, I may end up spending a full day at Birmingham, and a full day at NO, making the days
BHam-NO on 7th
NO-ElPaso on the 9th
El Paso-SD on the 10th

Anyway, would anyone want to meet up with me along the way? If anyone shows interest, I'll nail down some better times as best as I can. (but seeing as how I don't know EXACTLY when I can leave here, it's kinda up in the air.

If you want a place to crash in Houston, you're more than welcome. I can call you a f*cking idiot and you can beat me up.

hahahaha! Just don't expect to leave without buying something. There's too much cool shiot laying around in my living room.

**mrmephistopheles** · 05-30-2003, 12:55 PM

Really? That'd kickass! You can feel free to beat me up whether or not I call you names!

aaaaand maybe if you send me a list of the stuff you have on hand I can tell you what I want you to hold for me..

hmm i bet you probably have alot of stuff on hand.. I'll send you a PM

Bbandit · 05-31-2003, 02:32 PM

when will you be in houston?
houston is only an hour away from college station
besides.. i need to go to houston for some monthly grocery shopping

**mrmephistopheles** · 05-31-2003, 03:19 PM

I'll let you know closer to when I'm leaving, but I'd love to stop & see your car.. I love the new wheels on there.

fastpace · 05-31-2003, 04:15 PM

i will be in college station starting tomorrow for most of the summer but I can make the trip to houston also.

thelinja · 05-31-2003, 09:27 PM

Sounds fun. I too am embarking on a cross-country trip this Friday. My friend just bought a Z32 out in Las Vegas. We're flying out there on Friday to get it, then we're driving back to IN.

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-05-2003, 09:25 AM

the journey of 3000 miles begins with one start.

I begin tonight, probably around 5pm and should make my way into birmingham around.... 2 or 3ish hopefully.. If anyone in the ATL area wants to hang out, get in contact with Ruf or BBandit as they have my celly.

This will be my last post for at least a day or two (if i can get interwebnet in transit from coast to coast.

I want to go too!

ruf · 06-05-2003, 04:07 PM

I was like, "I do?" Then I checked my PM's. Too bad you can't make it here by Saturday or you could go to HIN with me! WOOHOO!

turtlepower240 · 06-05-2003, 08:49 PM

hey i'm in atl, and i know we have some more atl people around here, or maybe on freshalloy... either way, i say we plan somethin when you're around here, sounds like fun...

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-06-2003, 10:52 AM

Sorry, Mary.. I just rolled through ATL last night.. I met up briefly with Russ and snapped a few pics... I would've loved to have met more ATL folks, but I doubt many of you would have been willing to be up & out at 1am on a Thursday night!
I'm in Birmingham right now, and I'll be leaving here Sunday morning for New Orleans.

turtlepower240 · 06-06-2003, 12:41 PM

damnit... ah well, glad you had a good time with russ

he's a good kid...

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-07-2003, 04:41 PM

So does anyone want to meet in the Big Easy? I KNOW there's some Louisiana folks around!

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-07-2003, 04:47 PM

BTW, here's a pic of mine & Russ's car at the 2003 240sx National Minimicroconvention.. His car won best S14, while mine won best S13. The track event had to be cancelled unfortunately, although there was a quick show & shine (well, his car was clean anyway).

I think the pic came out well.

PARAD0X · 06-07-2003, 05:06 PM

i like that pic. what lip do you have on your car?

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-07-2003, 05:27 PM

Zenki (89-90) 240sx

turtlepower240 · 06-07-2003, 10:06 PM

that is a pretty badass picture... i'm in love with russ's car

and your's looks good too... damn....

ruf · 06-09-2003, 05:14 PM

Kevin's coming into Houston tonight for anyone that wants to meet up. Dunno how long he's staying.

scandalcat1 · 06-09-2003, 06:32 PM

did you say the san antonio area? if so, i can meet you off of IH10 somewhere along loop 1604.

fastpace · 06-09-2003, 07:28 PM

hopefully staying more then a day. can probaly meet up tomorrow if classes don't get crazy. i have to ask Bbandit also.

ruf · 06-09-2003, 07:56 PM

Ok, Kevin is a bonehead. Apparently he thought I lived in San Antonio so now he's way past Houston and about 40 minutes outside of San Antonio. Anyone got a place he can crash? scandalcat?

Bbandit · 06-09-2003, 08:32 PM

why did you pass houston kevin.. whyyyy????!?!?!

scandalcat1 · 06-09-2003, 08:35 PM

well right now i am in the IH10 de zavala area shopping at wal-mart (or will be) in roughly an hour. if you are around here in the next 2 hrs. or so, you can stay over at my pad.

ruf · 06-09-2003, 10:59 PM

Ok, so Kevin couldn't find you at the Wal-mart. Oh well, thanks for trying. He told me to tell you guys that he's staying at the Days Inn on the I10 frontage road right there in #205 if anyone wants to contact him or hang out or sneak into his room and pelt him with water balloons.

Steeles · 06-10-2003, 08:11 AM

**mrmephistopheles** · 06-11-2003, 12:51 PM

Can anyone say miserable failure?!
haha I'm such a confused loser.. oh well.. I made it into San Diego last night. (drove from San Antonio to San Diego in one day

)

Ah well, it was a good idea!

Dousan_PG · 06-11-2003, 01:35 PM
