NW Ohio regroup for 2011

So are we keeping the rule where those who don't arrive in a Miata have to pay the tab?

Worked out well for Warren and myself last time.

Naw. This time its if you own a miata you have to pick up the tab.

How about the guy who has owned his Miata the longest drinks for free?
17 yrs.
How about the owner of the oldest Miata drinks for free?
Number 8869

How about the guy with the most cars

How about the guy with the most engines simultaneously installed in one car?

How family friendly was the last one? I am only asking this because it may be easier to do this if I bring my oldest.

Imagine one large table. At the table are a group of middle aged men. Each one has a laptop open in front of him. We do not actually talk to each other.

No really, last time it was guys eating chicken wings and chatting it up. Getting a bit more "back story" from each other like how projects are progressing or what you think you may compete in for the following year.

Last time we did a tour to a car museum. I am not sure what the suprise is for this year but expect some talk about a LeMons team and some discussion about Make, Model, Theme.
All ages welcome, it should just be your kid hanging with you and others similar to you (if that scares you.)

Cool, thanks.

It looks like we are going to NC this Friday, have fun everyone.

I must have missed the memo on the new payment plan... Hope the Visa doesn't melt!!!

Wife wife wants me to bring my boy with me but not sure the logistics work real well. Think I'm going to tab a sitter as she's got plans of her own.

I don't mind driving up myself if that would solve the logistics of bringing your boy along.

Flynlow was also interested in carpooling, that's a total of 4 bodies from Columbus so two cars might be a good idea.

Yeah, I think I'm going to take my car, be happy to give anyone else a lift if they can meet me in Delaware. I'm in the "Subaru that should be an awesome car in snow but is really on summer tires so it only accelerates, not stops or turns" group too, so I'll be driving the speed limit :).

On the bar tab, I vote the person with the most GRMer cars owned (past or current) drinks free, ie:

Miata
E30
P71
AW11
SW20
FB
FC
FD
XJ
240SX
Foxbody
Thirdgen F-body
Impreza
WRX
Yugo
Astrovan
etc.

I can strike at least 5 from the list!

Miata
E30
AW11
240SX
Astrovan
I have had these, and
CRX

Let's see...

AW11

CRX si

FC (x2)

Miata (x several)...

Aw Hell, it really doesn't matter. Steve probably currently has one or more of each that he simply forgot he owned.

I hereby nominate our friend from Down Under as the official "Honorary Jay Leno-Type Guy of the NW Ohio Cheap Bastards... In Perpetuity".

It would cost too much to have that engraved on a plaque, so Steve, your first couple drinks are on me. Just to say thanx for making these meets happen.

well thanks for that but as stated I still think I win the new category

Miata, new in 1990
E30
P71 x 6
AW11
FB x 13 currently 2
FC x 2
XJ
Foxbody
3rd Gen x 2 current
WRX

I accept being named the "Cheap Bastards" honorary ultra lame Jay Leno with pride.

All hail, "The King."

Sorry you can't make it. But I'm sure there will be other meets at some point.
