How close is everybody to each other - distance wise?

Pretty much brand new to NAM, picked up my 08 MCS saturday 2/2/08, i couldn't find anything posted about this previously...but wanted to know where most of the guys/gals are in relationship to each other....i see alot of people referring to central/south jersey.....surf taco and GTG's...wanted to know if there are any mini's and thier owners from bergen county....like Paramus, Hackensack...Rutherford....Teaneck areas...very interested in meeting fellow MC owners...

will have pics up in a couple days but wanted to start posting.....and see where all the bergen county mini cooper owners are...

Adam

Live in northern Hunterdon County -- work in Flemington. Surf Taco is tough, except if my family happens to be elsewhere, which is rare (happily so).

I'm from Kearny, but I'm in school now in New Brunswick. I go back home every weekend, and occasionally go to Garden State.

2007MiniMe, I'll check out PhillyMini also. If there are events north of the city, they're probably close to me.

OT for one brief moment: how do you like the JCW Tuning Kit?

Hey All, If Funk Daddy posts her, maybe we could do a GTG sometime in March or April in the Bridgewater-Hillsborough-Princeton area. We've got a critical mass, I think.

Sorry to hear grillhands.

I live in probably the smallest town in North Jersey... Little Falls. I work in Fairfield right on Rt 46 West.

Sorry to hear the bad new grillhands But keep ya head and keep a positive attitude

Even though I'm in NY, I'm just across the bridge to NJ. For me it's more convenient to drive over to NJ than to most of the other boroughs in NYC

Grillhands, Very sorry to hear the news. There will be silver lining. Keep your chin up. A better job will be around the corner.

Little Falls may be small (2.8 sq. miles and a population of ~12,500), but if you want really small towns, come down to my neck of the state.
Pine Valley - .96 sq. miles, population, 22
Tavistock - .3 sq. miles, population, 24

And yet you're not too far from civilization. You're about 20 mins down Rt 80 from where I work.

I assume the response was directed at Marco621, as Glouceter County is a long way from Rt. 80.

Road Trip thru Tavistock & Pine Valley would be extraordinarily short. Can't take more then about 3 minutes to drive thru the only road into & out of Tavistock & Pine Valley is a gated community that doesn't allow admittance to the huddled masses. Then again, I DO know a few good bars in the area....
