I use a bell south able to read only solid digit channels. No problem whatsoever at meets and super cheap. But the lay of the land is motorolla motorolla motorolla cuz it's a little stronger, a little louder and it has subchannel capabilities. Regardless, a solid non-subchannel channel is chosen for universal participation. Everty meet I've been to uses Channel 7. (except MOT and what do they know?)

So it's Sunday, August 3rd? Just checking, as the Community:Events Calendar doesn't list this yet.

GMINI · Jul 25th, 2003, 03:01 AM

Why, HARMINI, is this? I sheall fix it anon.

Yes, uptick - that's the date

Jimbo_Mini · Jul 25th, 2003, 04:08 AM

Sounds like fun. I'll try to make it.

mini1ang · Jul 25th, 2003, 08:59 PM

do you need a list of who wants to come for "registering" purposes, or do you just want people to come? I plan to attend and can't wait. thanks for putting this together.

VolperCooper · Jul 26th, 2003, 05:18 PM

I will try to be there too. I take delivery this Tuesday, July 29. Otherwise I will have to take the P-Car.

GMINI · Jul 26th, 2003, 05:38 PM

Love your P-car!!!! And seeing your past datsun I have to ask. What are you going to do to your S????

Loved the gumball shots as well. Look forward to meeting you.

g,
Thanks for the compliment. Plans for the S, well.....
Wheels, tint, exhaust, seats, harnesses, suspension, JCW or comparable, short shift, etc., etc. It never ends..

GMINI · Jul 26th, 2003, 06:07 PM

Oh I do love to see an S done right.

Best wishes!

VolperCooper · Jul 26th, 2003, 06:13 PM

g,
I don't mean to get offtopic here, but my biggest quandry is the exhaust. I was very much leaning towards the Quicksilver with the single oval outlet. It looks and sounds beautiful IMHO. Will anyone on this Get-Together have one of those to listen to?

Is there a particular kind I should look for?

I got mine at Kmart. 2 Bell South rechargeable GMRS/FRS 5-mile range radios, not too expensive, maybe $70-$80. They work great, hold the charge all day and I always have an extra one to lend out.

Just come. I want to be surprised at how many cars show up (i think there are going to be a lot of us!!!).

Before we start motoring, I will get a headcount for those that will want to go to dinner after the ride and call the restaurant to let them know.

I will leave a few copies of the route at the White Rose Cafe, so if you come late, just grab a route and see if you can find us along the way. We'll have the radios on Channel 7, sub 0.

I don't know about the Qsilver, for sure there will be MSCs with Borlas and Magnaflows in attendance. I'd like to hear the Qsilver, too.

Where in central NJ do you live? I'm in New Brunswick.

wayneS · Jul 28th, 2003, 03:04 PM

WE are looking forward to Sunday!

I have Audiovox radios, they were a gift. They work fine, I've used them at 2 meets so far. If they're an option and cheaper, don't hesitate. Great package, rechargeable batteries, charger for household outlet and cigarette lighter, headsets, leatherette cases, and clips.

laughscott · Jul 29th, 2003, 02:12 AM

Tracy & Mia!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Welcome to the family!!! Can't wait to meet you!!!

Tonto, great idea, wish I had heard your thoughts before I went out and shelled $60 on a set of Motorolas!!!

Oh well, more to listen with!!

Cheers!! I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR SUNDAY!!!

Scott

VolperCooper · Jul 29th, 2003, 03:01 AM

Harmini,
I am in western central NJ. If you were to start at the starting point of this event and head due north for about 40 minutes, you would pass by my house.
How is this for prep for this event:

Ordered the Motorolas and they should arrive on Thursday.
Ordered the Quicksilver catback and header and it should be here by Friday.
Ordered Recaro seats and they should be here by Friday.
Wheels are already here

The car is being picked up tomorrow!!!!!

GMINI · Jul 29th, 2003, 03:37 AM

You're doin it right!!!
