The Last-Minute-Drive Thread
Maybe this'll be the first of a series of LMD threads, but we've had two last-minute attempts to gather folks for drives. Nobody gets instantaneous notifications of new threads in the regional forums, so instead of creating a new thread (or maybe in addition to), post to this one. Anyone subscribed with instant email notification enabled will get a ping. Then maybe we won't have to motor alone.

I think it's a good idea. Some of us have already created a facebook group as well, so if someone wants to meet up they can post there and those of us with smartphones get notified immediately.

It's amazing how many people hate FB
Unfortunately it's the most popular of the social media sites so we kinda gotta go with that until G+ takes off (probably not happening) |

I don't think we have to at all. I don't use Facebook. I deleted my G+ account. My choice, and I have nothing against people who do use them. What I find strange is to come into a forum (arguably a "social media" outlet in its own right) where people are actively engaging in conversations on a specific topic (our little Toyobarus, for example) and then say "hey, guys, let's go talk about this same stuff somewhere else!". If you wanna do FB, have at it, but please don't try to redirect a focused conversation to a different outlet.
Anyway, this is seriously OT for this thread. Subscribe to this thread (instant email notification is the only reasonable method) if you want to be notified when someone's about to head out for a drive, and if you're about to head out for a drive, post meet-up details (or a link to another thread) here! |

I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything like that. In my own humble opinion I prefer G+. And besides I noticed FB doesn't really work that well on Google Chrome.

Love the Kanc! Had an easy ride up it but had a 'spirited' drive down it one night from Lincoln after the Northeast Rumble. That was my first time on the Kanc and I had my Cooper S. Can't wait to try it in the FR-S.

What: Meet, Eat, Drive
When: Sat 6/23 6:00 PM Where: Norm Wagner Toyota, 700 Old Union Turnpike, Lancaster, MA Who: Anyone who has or appreciates the FT86 (BRZ/FRS) http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9604 I'm replying to blalor here rather than create a new post so that people who have subscribed to this thread don't get pinged about things that aren't drives. On that note, I suggest that we create/link-to separate threads from here when posting about last minute drives (and resist posting about anything else in this thread). Was fun. Good food and was nice to meet a few other members. My car was covered with bugs... took me a while to clean them all off Unfortunately, we ran out of light during the drive before we got to the interesting roads.

I took some video on Saturday morning (plus some of our drive up and down Mt Washington in some pretty horrendous weather). If they're not too incriminating, I'll post 'em online. |
