New to MI new to GRM Forum

What is the address so I can establish distance?

Bastone Brewery, 419 South Main Street, Royal Oak, MI 48067

Having traveled that similar route/commute a couple times a week for 5 years, I would say about 65 miles over the Ohio border. With an intended 6:30pm arrival that will get you into some slowdown traffic but I-75 near the border will fly at a typical 80mph cruising speed.
All that considered, about 1:15 of real travel time from the Ohio border, mostly straight up I-75.

I am now about 1:15 East of Toledo and then another 1:15 of travel north makes for a 2:30 travel. It crossed my mind but it is a long way for a week night.

I'm bowing out officially.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll see the rest of you guys tonight!

OK guys so who's in?

I’ll try and get there about 10 mins early and get a table for about six near the windows. I’ll print off a GRM logo and put it on the table for people to see.

I'm still coming. DelayedPenalty won't be there.

Names please guys rather than forum tags????

Warren Martin - just like it says in my tag line.

See you guys in a few!

Leaving now

Well, we had a good time. Adrian, Jeff, Jeff, and me. Good food, good beer, and lots of gearhead talk. What could be better?

Sorry I missed it. Maybe some time after the holidays we can schedule something in the western suburbs.

glad to see everyone, looking forward to doing it again

I had a blast tonight guys. It was really nice meeting you. We'll absolutely have to schedule another get together.

Thanks for all the info, tips, and advice about the area. I really appreciate it!

Again, great meeting you!

Another meeting over Christmas break? I just came across this thread, but I'm down.

I'm hopping a plane back home for the holidays. I'll be back in the new year. Consider me available for any meets after that!

As a recent transplant to the Detroit area - thanks to all who posted restaurant recommendations.

OP, I've got a couple college buddies who started working at the blue oval in the last year or so. I'm not sure if they post here, but they are car guys. I'll PM you with names, in case you run into them.

Thanks Josh!

Anyone fancy a pint tonight? It's one of the rare weekends when I'm not in Toronto and my lady isn't here.

Sorry, out of action

Curse you DukeofUndersteer for making deals like this one seem more appealing.

Detroit (DTW) to Atlanta $267 return. http://www.airfarewatchdog.com/cheap-flights/detroit-michigan-dtw-to-atlanta-georgia-atl/?fare_id=1088113&source=awd_twitter

I'm ignoring that.

In reply to Protege2886:

Check the fares from Flint to Atlanta. They are often lower. $168 round trip is todays low price and it is a nonstop.

okay round 2, lets do drinks again. I found a good english style "pub" in Royal oak above a bad club/bar/dance thing but I am open to suggestions!

West side? I'm hearing good things about the Tilted Kilt in Novi.
