Default New England EV Meet

Zip's Diner isn't far from Rhode Island either.

I don't know if anyone is particularly interested but we have three early NEVs. Two are Autoettes (one 1947 and one 1951) and a Mobilette (1961). They're classed as "micro-cars" and we could bring one to your meet. A road run would be out of the question for us because of power and speed issues but we'd be happy to run around a local lot or neighborhood with one.

Cheers,

Bristol, RI

Afternoon works for me as well.


What time frame of day is good for other people?

Anytime from 1 to 5 works for me.

Before 1 pm might be a bit early for some of those who need it to be in the afternoon.
After 5 pm might end up being a bit late by the time we are done and people want to head home.

My First Suggestion is around the 2 to 3 PM time frame as a starting point.

That way after chatting and hanging out for a bit we can get a early dinner and people can head out as their schedules need.

Retail can suck anyone who has worked it knows how hard it can be on scheduling stuff.

Does a start to the gathering around 2 to 3 pm on October 24th work for others?
This gives enough time for people to drive there and drive back after we hang out and get a bite to eat.

If it doesn't, we need alternative suggestions that works better ASAP.
