I'd say so, too. My wife may or may not make the trip, but she doesn't eat much,...

I'll probably eat a couple dogs - she'll probably eat one.

I hate to buy a second box and another 4 dozen rolls if we will not be using them.

I will probably eat one hot dog and one hamburger with cheese if we have it. My bride will probably have the same. How many hamburgers and hot dogs would the rest of you eat considering we'll have the various other foods to accompany the burgers and dogs?

Let me know before tomorrow morning if you can, ...thanks.

I think that the one box should be enough for all, along with the burgers, chicken, etc.

Robbie, I sould think that each person will eat at least one Burger, some may have two. 40 sounds about right. I'm sure everyone will have enough to eat.
As an aside to all of this but linked to it. As I ran out of black ink, I went to the place to buy some more. I meant to go back the way I came but was thinking of other thoughts. I went a different way, as I went when the light changed, I could see the unmistakeable rear end of a black crossfire, a few cars in front of mine. Well, I decided to catch up with it and at the main intersection where it goes to two left turning lanes, I pulled along side of these folks about my age. We talked a bit before the light changed and I mentioned the cruise, they wanted more info so I asked that they pull into the parking lot just ahead. They did and we spoke at length about NEX and this forum, I invited them to join us with their '04 coupe Black on Black, they want to join us.
I now have my ink and two more folks that want to join us. Not a bad day. I continued on my quest for the right charcoal and found it at Shaw's. So now I have everything that I said I'd bring except the cole slaw which the wife wants to make.
Jen, I saw you first, don't let that old coot (nightrider) near any chocolate it makes him very uncontrolable, or so his doctor at the asylum says, It reacts funny with his Meds, poor old guy doesn't like to talk about it but it must come out sometime, his crotch was shot out by ememy sniper fire, it raised his voice about an octave and ruined his sex life. Don't tell anyone though, he's awful sensitive about it.

I got up at 0500 hrs, the sun was starting to rise, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It's a little cool at 40 degrees but it will warm up into at least the 50's. I believe there's a slight chance of rain later this evening but supposedly not during the day. The important thing is no rain during our cruise and cookout.

I'm looking forward to seeing you all there! We'll be going directly to Newport Grand and should be there around 0930 hours.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone attending the meet. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad I met a lot of new faces. Hopefully you are satisfied with your new found power. Hope to see you all at Carlisle!

Back from the Newport Cruise! Many thanks to Tony from TVT for his assistance with the ECU Tunes and other stuff. I purchased the chrome grill and really like my XFire's new appearence in the front. Tony warned me not to go over 100 mph for 24 hours until the new grill is settled in. I'm anxious to see what the "tune" has done to improve my performance.

The weather was super! We had a great crowd with plenty to eat at the Colt State Park Cookout. What a turnout for the New England XFires!

I downloaded over 200 pictures from my two cameras. I'll have to sort through them and pick a good group to post. I'll try to post some tomorrow. It's cocktail time now then probably early to bed as usual.

It was great to meet you all! Lorna and I are looking forward to the next trip we can make.

Bob & Lorna
