Another hybrid/non-hybrid/hypermiler group meet in MN on Saturday December 22nd

Right Lane Cruiser · #1 12-09-2007, 02:17 AM

Hello all! We are planning to have another meet here in MN on Saturday the 22nd starting at 11:00. We have picked a different venue for our meet this time and we think it will prove to be a good one.

We will be meeting at the Sundance Golf course in Maple grove. You can view the website for this location below:

Sundance Golf and Bowl

The actual location can be seen by clicking the link below:

Sundance Golf and Bowl location

We will have a special guest there -- our very own Delta Flyer!! He'll be driving his famous Insight and will be giving a presentation about his newest toy -- the Lone Star MIMA.

Xcel is also planning to join us, as well as that mpg sorceress of the north who has been just TEARING up the snow around here -- Laurie with her HCHI equipped with a manual transmission!

We'll also have at least one Prius driver at the meet so anyone who is interested in joining us will have the opportunity to see 3 fascinating examples of hybrid engineering.

The meet will consist of discussion of vehicles, driving techniques, current and future FE technologies, and driver training on request. Food will be available at the bar and grill on location, so you'll be able to munch while taking in all the great camaraderie and drawing on the considerable array of expertise that you'll find in attendance!

We welcome any and all participants regardless of your experience level!

ROFL.....i actually did laugh when i read it. and it's probably a way too deep private joke, but......you could have capitalized my last name, however then you would have had to use a double preposition.........

i am really looking forward to the opportunity to drive an insight.....sean and i have actually been looking at some that are for sale, however, at the moment it's probably more of a pipe dream than reality for either of us.

Ha!

I would love to put everyone up but unfortunately 2 is my limit -- Wayne and Chuck have dibs on the two berths available.

Sorry!!!

Sorry fellas, its a no go for me. Doing a Christmas the day before, of, and after! Busy time of year. Someone do a good write up though.

Right Lane Cruiser · #8 12-09-2007, 10:23 PM

I completely understand, Daox. Maybe some other (warmer!!!) time?

Enjoy your Christmas festivities and I'll make sure that there is a write up.

Hmm, Sean, that is really tempting.

I am headed back to MN on the 22nd. If I can drag myself out of bed and get on the road before 5 (even taking I-94 which I won't do, google maps says it's an even 300 miles - for me that means 6 hours or better

) you might see me there. Or you could meet on the other side of the cities and shave off 30 miles for those of us coming from the east?

Jerad it would be great to have you see my stomping grounds! I'm afraid we've got the location already reserved but I did look quite a bit off east of there without finding anything really helpful. I suppose Woodbury might have had a nice location but that's an hour from where I am and quite a bit further for Laurie as well...

Let me know if you are going to try it and I'll give you a wake up call.
