Sounds like a nice quaint litle get-together. Y'all should do it again sometime!

 

^^^atleast 3x's a year

 

ah.. we are planning a mini mini run of the dragon first weekend of nov!!! check the regional boards.. under south carolina.. the more the merrier!!

 

I plan on heading up there in the not too distant future. I'll let you guys know how it goes, I'm doing this for the good of NAM.

 

Yeah, there's a group of us going the first weekend in November. Traffic should be lower, and weather should be beautiful! The Porsches will be there, too. Should be alot of fun, we hope to see alot of you there!

Keep me posted on the November group. If there is a thread, then I'm just dumb. It's only about 2hrs from here and I ran it in a 1995 Impala last time and thought I was going to die or kill someone trying...

The weather is supposed to be great next week and weekend around here. I may try and head up there next Saturday if anyone is interested.

Yeah, Southern_Candy....please be sure to let us know about the Dragon.

Check out the National Events forum here on NAM.....

 

Yep, my first MINI arrived in mid May of 03.

 

I'm heading up there in about 10 minutes

 

I've had my MINI for over a year and still have not headed out there. I'm a boring Mini Owner.

At least though I love driving it.

 

how many hours to get to the Dragon from Atlanta?
my next project is in Atlanta for the Weather Channel

 

Should be just a few hours depending on where you are in Atlanta. It can take 2 hours just to get across town.

 

2 hours to get accoss town.......ha..........you ain't never seen me drive

 

It's the mass of other cars blocking every possible way that is the problem-Atlanta traffic sucks-the city grew much too fast to keep up with the demand. I see your from NY and you know traffic but Atlanta is worse,sorry.

 

i've won many a breakfest bet negotiating NYC traffic to get the crew to the job site

 

How long it takes to get to the Dragon from here certainly depends on where you are coming from and when you leave. Our traffic is HORRIBLE. I know people like to one up each other but I've driven in LA, Chicago, NYC, DC, Dallas, Miami, Philly... I could keep going... and I know bad traffic. LA was the worst but Atlanta is catching up, sadly. Though I did vow to never drive in DC again, that place made me crazy.

If you are working on the far north side of town, it will knock a huge chunk off of your drive time. The weather channel is right downtown though, pretty close to my office. If you leave against traffic and then go up 75 to 575, 3 hours at the most. It's the most boring way to get there but the fastest.

We take different ways and always hit up the more intersting roads on the way and live on the north side so it's usually about 3 hours for us. We've done it in 2.5, maybe a little less, late at night and driving straight there and back.

 

^^^^thanks for the info
i do not know where my accommodations will be yet and when i do shoot out to the Dragon it will probably be on the weekends.......can you say "beat up the rent-a-kar"
....if i bring the MINI to Atlanta it won't be until OctClover

 

If you get a choice try to find something near on of the marta lines-like in Dunwoody- you could hop on the marta into downtown and skip the traffic all together!

I hear you on the LA traffic Jenn-hit that at a bad time and yikes!

 

I fell asleep in LA traffic

 

...and I'll bet when you woke up traffic had not moved at all!

 

traffic in LA is weird, they leave like 3 car lenghts between vehicles? :impatient

 

But MARTA doesn't go to the Dragon

 

Come on November!! Dragon here we come!!!
