NOVA: Zs & Coffee - Starbucks every Saturday @ 10AM

getawaydriver · 03-07-2010, 08:29 AM

Was out for the Old Town St Paddy's Day parade. Will try to make it out again next week. This spring time weather is making it all the more difficult to make non-driving event plans.

Same follows suit for drinking events ;D

Getaway makes a good point -- as the weather gets better, maybe we should give some thought to doing some local cruises/touring.....? Maybe a tour someplace for a little lunch before folks break out and finish up their normal Sat activities......just me thinkin out loud......

m4a1mustang · 03-07-2010, 09:06 AM

That sounds like a good idea. We could meet up at the usual location and head out for lunch somewhere, maybe. There are some nice places to eat tucked away in random places around here.

There are copious amounts of great food spots in Arlington/Alexandria but of course if we head up there parking becomes a problem, especially on a Saturday at lunch time!!!

You know, I was thinking... for our big cruise down to ZDayZ we are probably going to want to get some two-way radios! lol

Now maybe we can see about who will want to cruise down to HR to meet up down there with the VA Beach Z crowd?

I will be heading back down to my old stomping grounds of Hampton later this year for sure. Haven't been back in at least 5 years or longer.

Agree -- will make "convoy cruise coord" a little easier -- If everyone sticks with the most common brand (Motorola I think) it will make sync'ing channels a little easier.

Whatever the group consensus is, we're in.....

m4a1mustang · 03-07-2010, 12:29 PM

Depending on how many people are going to be in the cruise we may need to break up into fireteams, er... um, groups of 4-5 cars each with a cruise leader... in case we get separated... it would make it easier to coordinate if we got separated.

Sscottfitz · 03-07-2010, 12:55 PM

I assume the plan for those wanting to convoy, is an "early morning" departure on Thursday, 20 May?

m4a1mustang · 03-07-2010, 01:04 PM

I think so, probably a very early morning departure.

ZCarMan · 03-07-2010, 04:45 PM

Radios: Yes. Depart early: Yes, Plan out trip down: YES. Cruise on weekend before to lunch: Yes. When we left last weekend, my Wife and I went to Maryland and down 301 and came across Southern Maryland and back up I-95. It was a nice drive. We stopped in Waldor at Carrabas for lunch, they had a pretty good sized parking lot and opened at 3PM. Food for thought if anyone might want to do that.The only thing was that you had to do a U-Turn to come back to the restaurant but it was really easy.

Okay...no longer lurking in the shadows. Finally registered.... Had the PW 370Z out about two weeks ago with my son. Just wanted to say we had a great time meeting all you and will get out to as many meets as possible.

Back at ya, enjoyed meeting you guys as well -- we needed another "white Z" in the group to balance those bold yellows, blues, reds, etc. AND we have a Black Cherry ZR in the group as well.

Welcome to the discussion.

Hi-TecDesigns · 03-08-2010, 07:50 AM

I may have to join you guys some morning... sounds like you need a few more roadsters, especially some with a little wine (not whine!)

zZSportZz · 03-08-2010, 10:08 AM

I want to convoy down to ZDays with everyone, but I'm in MD. Will have to work logistics out with someone

Maybe meet on the road someplace....

Edit: I'll probably head to another Starbucks "get-together" in April. I have a dent in my door (someone hit me in parking lot) which is scheduled to be fixed on April 5th. I won't be seen in public until that happens haha!
