Diesel GTG planning
« on: January 07, 2010, 09:32:03 pm »
I was thinking that having a diesel gtg would be do able in the eastern region. I know that Waterford hills MI has a good track to meet at, any suggestions to help get the ball rolling would be appreciated. I can think of a venue or 2 in Montreal and one in Kingston ON. I'd like to be at either Waterford or in Kingston as they have the capacity to hold a lot of people. The hotels are also good in that area.

Have you had GTGs in Kingston??   I live in Alexandria Bay NY about 40min away.  My dad and I would love to come to them, he has a 1.6td porsche 356 and i should have my sciroccoTD done.    so I guess keep us posted!

I think I can do Kingston, its getting a venue booked, and advertising on the vortex, so we can get as many bodies out to it. I hope the upstate NY and PA guys can show up as well as some of the New Englanders (as long as they can  say toilet and not terlet ;) we'll let them in).

Hmm 7.5 hours in a Rabbit..   I think I could do that..   That is after I have an engine that I'm not afraid of driving more than 50 miles from home...

so, how do you feel about that? you have an engine that survived a crack overdose, and a pretty bad one at that.

The only engine that I owned that had "crack" issues overdosed and killed herself. She's probably been turned into pots and pans by now.

I though I may have been heading for major failure again last night..  Yet again it still seems to be living on... It managed another 60 miles with the aid of some Gorilla tape...  Read all about it in the IDI section...  :-*

the SoG could be talked into this. swap meet? it'll have to be... hmmm, 2nd or 4th weekend of a month before april, or after may for me to make it... I'm prolly gonna be stuck at work 7/12s from the middle of march til june 1st damn


I'm the only club member with a passport, but if it's in the states, I might be able to talk some folks into comin out and meetin the vwdiesel.net crowd

sorry to thread jack, but would there be much interest for a bbq G2G at my place this summer? Our club is having funding issues, and I figured it'd be a good way to get our mission out there, and maybe raise a few bucks. We might have a DJ, or a local band, food, frolicking, maybe a tinkering party. local bar has a mechanical bull if people want to challenge diablo to an 8 second duel ;-)
