Alright boys and girls, it's time to get everyone together and show off our cars, make new friends, and have some fun. All regional TEAM New England FocalJet members are welcome to attend. Let's make it a rad picnic that will go down well remembered this summer.

The Event: TEAM Southern New England Meet:
All FJ Team New England members welcome! Food, friends, cars, and the winding, twisty road up to ever-scenic, Castle Craig, the highest point of elevation in CT.

The Place:
Hubbard Park South/Lower lot, Meriden, Connecticut, off of the Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike. (Off exit 4? on I-691)

The Time and Date:

Rain Date: Sunday July 29th, 2012*under consideration*

People are encouraged to bring their cars (obviously), food if they so desire, and a positive attitude. The objective of this event is not only to just have a good time, but to build up the Southern New England area Focus scene and make some solid connections.

Please reply to THIS thread to RSVP as well as ask any information. We can organize who can bring what, if that'll help us get supplies together (food, paper plates, etc). I will be photographing the event more than likely, but everyone's welcome to bring a camera, camcorder or whatever so that we'll have plenty of media to throw up and show what the pride of CT Focus is. :) Please also indicate if you are bringing any non-members with you (spouses, etc), as that would be helpful.

Parts Swap:
We will also be offering anyone coming to bring spare parts they would like to sell or trade with them. Please post up for any local parts you would be looking for or parts that you would be willing to bring!

Maybe I'll bring my wagon too this time???

Also I am still awaiting word from Buickboy.
Awesome, I'd love to see it there. I've put him down tentatively, since you indicated that you had sort of spoken with him. We'll see.

Re: TEAM Southern New England Meet 7.28.12!

The at least one of the lower lots is paved and not gravel, if that's what you're wondering. The upper lot at the summit is gravel though, iirc, so fare thee well.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

Dam^, I know I missed inviting you to the last one titan.:(

There is no way you can show? IIRC, your focus is slightly slammed?

EDIT: IDK if Kay wants to or not but possibly change the date to Sunday the 29th?
If that would mean many more people would be able to attend than the 28th. It might also be convenient for us to set a rain date now as well.

OH NO IF YOU DONT HAVE A FOCUS YOU CANT GO?

Yes, Joe has a focus. His XR4Ti, in my opinion, is much more entertaining.

Re: TEAM Southern New England Meet 7.28.12!

If the XR4Ti is more entertaining, then that's cool.

you don't have to bring a focus, Buickboy has a Mustang, and he's going.

EDIT: I thought Heat and Cobra were going to the ST meet on the 28th though?

And are you coming Ray?

Yeah, Focus I've had for 7 years. It's nothing special. XR is the "fun" car.

ST driving event is the 21st.

Re: TEAM Southern New England Meet 7.28.12!

Put me down as a maybe. Not sure what my schedule is as far as travelling for work as of yet.

No focus for me either. Do you think my Suby Outback will clear the road? OH NOES! :p

Re: TEAM Southern New England Meet 7.28.12!

Unfortunately, it looks like my FoFo will be unchanged from last time by the time the meet arrives. I've had some setbacks, and it'll be end of summer before I can acquire any power mods. #feelsbadbro. :| After that though....
