Hey Everyone - our own HobokenViper has extended an invitation for an awesome breakfast and Test-Drive event at McLaren in Greenwich CT.

We will plan a cruise to get there together through some scenic roads as well... check out the invite:

Crap! I'm away that weekend. That's an invite I would accept!

[thetalonguy]

Cool, I'm in, but just for the light breakfast and coffee...that's all

Thanks for setting this up Aaron!!

[pony23]

Damn, I won't be around either. Oh man.

[Stretch]

Now that is a cool event!!!!

7 hour drive from here...... (tries to come up with an excuse to tell the wife) :-)

[vipertank]

This looks great!

[intense]

Might have to get up early for this. Any more details on meeting time and place? Do we just meet at the dealer at 8:30?

[SlateEd]

This looks great!

Hey Hey Tank - I got a chance to see the 570 today and met a salesman (product expert?) there who is 6'4" tall... he had some headroom left, so you'd probably be comfortable!

but seriously, awesome place, really high-end feel, and with Aaron at the helm it is also really welcoming to true car-people, regardless of brand.

Tim - We will have a meeting spot in Armonk NY, which I will map and post this weekend. If you and some NJ people want to meet just over the TZ bridge I'll meet you down that way and cruise up to Armonk.

Oh man I'm in for this for sure!

So we just had a team meeting about logistics for the VOA event on April 16th, and here are the details:

- 20 PERSON LIMIT – Need to cap the event at 20 people max in order for everyone to get one test drive due to the time restrictions of the event (First 20 people to respond are included).

- E-MAIL RESPONSE REQUIRED – Aside from a written response on the forums, we need all who plan to attend to send an email response to alothrop@millermotorcars.com as this is required to attend, and only the people who respond in an email are allowed to drive a car (up to the first 20 people). We really want to keep it exclusive to VOA members, so please don't send a friend in your place.

- 3 CARS AND LIMITED TIME – We plan to have 3 cars to maximize the experience and to help make sure that everyone gets their turn driving a car. We should have one 650S Spider and two 570S (assuming two 570S as we are anticipating to have one 570S marketing car being supplied by McLaren for the event). Ideally each test drive will take no longer than 10-15 minutes if everyone is ready to hop in the car when their turn comes up, in order for everyone to get their time behind the wheel.

- 25% OF RESPONSES ALREADY IN – We already have 5 people who have responded via email as of this morning, so 15 spots are left as of now.

- RESPONSES REQUIRED BY 4/14/16, & RAINDATE IS 4/23/16 – In the case that the 16th looks like it will have bad weather, we will communicate to everyone ahead of time on Friday 4/15/16 that the event will be moved to the same time for the following Saturday.

I would love to open this event up to more people or extend the time a bit longer, but unfortunately we have already purposely pushed off several scheduled appointments with customers that plan to purchase a new McLaren for themselves that day, and they will start coming in shortly after 10:30am. We also have another “ride and drive” event later the same day in the afternoon that we also need to prepare for. VERY BUSY DAY!!!

Hope the event will be a massive success with beautiful weather, and should be a great time for all. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and maybe one or two people in attendance will love the cars so much that they get the itch to take one home with them!!!!!

You need a better excuse than getting home from the Bahamas the night before..... Haha!

Signed up and in!!

Nice! Looking forward to seeing you there. Did you get an ACR?!


Hope everyone who plans to go has been emailing their responses to Ainsley at alothrop@millermotorcars.com as we need an accurate headcount and are capping the event at 20 test drives due to time restrictions. First 20 to send their email response are on the list, and we only have a few spots left.

[WetOne]

Howdy, received response from Ainsley. Plan on meeting all at the Park & Ride.

[Helo Steve]

Emailed Ainsley, I'm in!!!

[HobokenViper]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We are now near full capacity for the McLaren test drive event!!! I believe we just have one or two spots left as of an hour ago, so please email my assistant Ainsley to grab the last spot if you haven't already done so, as we will only be able to offer test drives to a maximum of 20 people who have RSVP'd via email ahead of time.

With that said, if you were not one of the first 20 lucky people to sign up for a test drive, you can still feel free to join us for the event (assuming you are a present or former VOA member) as it will be a great time, and we have some absolutely incredible cars on display for you to enjoy. I look forward to seeing all my VOA buddies there, and to meeting those of you that I don't yet know. Now let's just keep fingers crossed for nice weather!!!

[Fadi Abizeid]

I am in along with passenger Paul

[HobokenViper]

I believe that we have now reached our capacity for people test driving a car at the VOA event.

With that said, I still invite any VOA members to come join us that day as the group drive(s) will be scenic and fun, we will have some amazing cars on display including a McLaren P1, and lots of great friends to hang out with. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!!!
