I would love to attend, but it is a 4.5 hr haul each way for Lauderdale I gotta convince the better half to maybe do an overnight on Sat.

So when's the cut-off
I can bring the wagon and some spare parts for the swap, OE wheels, manuals etc.

O. K. Count me in. Sounds like fun. I will be coming from Brevard County, so I will need a map or directions. Is it still going to be on July 15.

yep still up for july 15th ill have the exact local up soon. add your name to the list and car etc etc.. brevard county by tampa? because jdc is going to have all the tampa people meet up at the fair grounds and then cruise to the spot from there

anyone else have any ideas of what to do at the gtg other then food, swapping parts if you are and looking at each others cars ... i would love to drive a more modern diesel like ohh an E320 CDI

What time is the shin-dig?

Buy a drum of oil, and we can all do cheap oil changes

I've got a bunch of parts in the garage... If I don't get around to putting them on ebay, I will bring them along.

Maybe do a show and tell for different things? (shining up your paint or your metal trim, or how you fix something the conventional/unconventional way) Maybe a "guess what part this is" contest?

Oh.. and somebody remember to bring a box of latex gloves!

That’s what I’d recommend: sharing DIY tips and how-to’s.

im emailing surf right now when the primo time will be to show up and his address.. which i will post with his permission ( although central FL and tampa people will meet up and cruise to the spot .. but just incase some just want to go straight to or miss us at the cruise spots)

latex gloves.. pffft ill bring the gojo.

i was actually planning on doing a DIY on ALDA tuning and banjo bolt cleaning

i had one of surf's parts cars back up to an acceptable launch speed after tweaking it

updates

The Menu

Pulled pork ala surf n turf
possibility serving of fish (whatever we catch the day before)
any pot lucks people bring

we can do some DIY's and tips n tricks

part selling swapping is good idea

arrival time.. noon

checkn out each others cars, rides in cars, drag racing(not really i am not associated with you.. surf your ass is getting owned 240D VS 300D show down)

central florida
i am going to surfs house the day before to go fishing, and my friend Rain is coming to the GTG she lives in poinciena ( or how ever you spell it) and thats an hour from my house, i dont want to drive 2 hours back to poinciena. then an hour back to my area then another hour and half to Zhills.. i will have the address of surf's place soon so we all can have directions. sorry... highschool kid.. making 100$ a week just cant cover his costs.. i survive on 7 gallons of fuel a week

ill have jdc post the address for the tampa area members to meet up

if you cant make it to the meet spots since its out of the way or your closer to zhills ill pm you the address of surfs place

notice
i really need an accurate list of who is going, if your bringing family members etc so we have an exact head count so we have enough food and such

thanks


work off this list for the head count
