I say we try going down to the South Shore onto Ocean Parkway (the south end of the Meadowbrook, near Jones Beach.) It's long and open with some twisting spots, and we can always get on the Wantagh/Meadowbrook Parkways for some variety. IIRC, parking is free off-season, so we'll even have a place to post up.

I say we speed through brooklyn
South end of meadowbrook will be pretty "country-like" with actual open roads and such, sounds good to me.
I'll have a bunch of different finals around that time so I'll have to figure out exactly when my finals are.
edit: if you google maps for "Meadowbrook parkway westbury ny" you'll get a decent map of it. Theres even some street views and stuff

12/17 2PM-4:30PM
12/20 8AM-9:30AM
12/19 5PM-7:30
The 17th is out for me unless its after 5ish.
The 18th is good all day

Okay, here's a map, and a key:
Red - A loop I like to take. I generally go counterclockwise, starting from the northwest (where the Northern State Parkway divides into the Meadowbrook Parkway).
Green - Ocean Drive/Ocean Parkway. Relatively straight, relatively not patrolled by cops, but they might have stepped things up a bit.
Yellow - Robert Moses Causeway. A big drag strip for Suffolk County folk. Relatively uninhabited in the winter.

Thanks for the map, DrNick - that's a great place to do it. I'm thinking the run along the beach would be a great way to cruise.
So far, it's looking like December 20th in the afternoon would be a good time to get together. Anyone have any issues with that? We could do lunch, then go for a drive and check out each other's cars.

thursday the 20th looks good, at least as of now
i have a friend who lives near there in bellmore but he doesn't respect the stick so i may just see if i can visit him after our party rather than inviting him to the meet

sounds like a nice idea but i will probably opt to come down through the bronx straight into the island to avoid traffic on the si expressway, belt etc... though on second thought, that might not be so bad... where would you wanna meet up? i'd be coming from upstate ny probably via thruway to 17 to 80 to turnpikeNjSi wrote:anybody want to meet up and cruise to the meet? if there are more people from jersey ?

I say you guys are better off heading north of Northern Blvd (or Rte 25A) if you want some better driving routes. From Farmingdale, just head up north on 110 until you pass 25A, then take it from there. Lots of nice twisties, incredible houses, great drive...
Of course, if you do go down by Jones Beach, you can see who can hit 140mph first...
I'd love to join you guys, but employment has its drawbacks.

Why would you go through that hassle? If your already coming form Upstate NY it is so much easier to come through the bronx, honestly i have no idea how im getting there, but my garmin will.
PM me if you want to meet up somewhere but i think we are taking different ways?
