Hey Saloon,

Of course I will be there. It is very theraputic, if you will, to see you all. I will be in the spot I met you in last, At the gas station, near the pumps.

Spirited drive portion

Riverside drive is part of it. But it goes north of that too.
Take Riverside (257) north. At 42 go straight, do not turn left to stay on 257. The road name is Klondike rd. That has a chicane and follows the river. When you get to 36 turn left and then take the first right, Warren rd. That has a couple tight fun corners. Then you will come to a stop sign turn right (Warrensburg Rd) then make the first left(it comes up fast and it is right after the right hander on Warrensburg). The road name is Hodges Rd. Then when you get to the next stop sign turn left (Rt 37) then make the next right, River Rd. River Rd is beautiful and has some very nice medium and lower speed corners. It starts off pretty straight then finishes nice and curvy. River Rd will take you up to Prospect OH. If you don't know, Prospect is the little town that always floods.

I am willing to do it early Sat (10/6) morning, tomorrow if anyone wants to check it out. It has been a little while since I have driven it so it might not be a bad idea to check road conditions. Also, we can check to see how long it takes so we know when to leave to get back in time for the meet next weekend.

Either way, at this point why don't we plan on meeting about 9:45am
meet day at the Wendy's at 161 & 33/riverside in Dublin.

If anyone is interested in tomorrow I would like to do this one earlier.
Probably 7:30 @ Wendy's.

If interested PM me and I will send my cell number.

On the above Google Map follow 257 down then you can work back up to Prospect using my above directions.

My MR2 buddy and I do this trip to get out and have fun when we get itching for a drive.

A note on my driving. I will drive about the speed limit on riverside/257. I do not see the point on driving crazy on rather well patrolled roads (2 speeding tickets in 20 years of driving). The roads north of that will make up for it. I will do what I am comfortable at, that is normally quite a bit over the speed limit. I normally have the car working pretty hard. Everyone will have directions (posted above) if you cannot keep up then you will be fine, follow directions. Or, cross the river at the next bridge (there are bridges at various points) and take 257 back. I am not saying I can beat anyone in driving. But, I have been on things like this and normally there are a few people that didn't know what to expect. Especially when wives and girlfreinds are in the passenger seat.

Well stated and understood. I agree. Knowing when and where to speed up is just as important (if not more) as knowing how to. I may be able to go tomorrow but won't know for sure until last minute. Would love to see the route and look for tide water lines in Prospect.:p

What do you want for the oil pan? I might buy it before we even get there.

[Hick]

Oh yes! the box of crap trick.

I will also have a box full of crap.

Anyone need M10 parts?

I don't really want to clutter up the thread with money talk. does $80 sound ok? PM me.

edit:
I left out a good one.
brand new never used IE front tower brace. I can't use it b/c the wastegate gets in the way.
