[Excitmnt94]

[glyph]

yep that protege should be me, #08. Do we number once we get there? or do we have to do it on our own?

Definitely looking to caravan. Where are you guys meeting?

 

[Excitmnt94]

at the West Columbia Lowes. right there by Rt. 26...exit 111B...toward Lexington on US-1. should be some green VW Passat 1.8 Turbos, a Jetta 1.8T, a miata, a black Civic, my GTI, and my g/f Audi A4 1.8T. ill keep u updated on the time...it is yet to be decided...but im guessing around 7am

 

[glyph]

my route was going to be up the 95. That would be a long way out of my way... However, the desire to caravan pulls...

 

[Excitmnt94]

my bad...i thought u were from cola. maybe i can get you in touch with some of the guys from the 1.8T site...so you can come up with them to cola. its all up to you. check your PM's

 

[glyph]

[Excitmnt94]

John...it was great meeting you. glad you finally got to meet someone from the boards. now that you are hooked, hopefully, you will be coming to some more events. i also look forward to getting more people to come out...shouldn't be a problem!

 

[glyph]

thanks jeremy, definitely am hooked. That adrenaline rush was nice. been a while since I've had a good one. hopefully i'll be around for the driving school. definitely could use it. what with the impromptu driving on the first turn of the S. Of course, that little crest in the road leading in didn't help much either. Gonna have to catch you next time, too!

 

[Excitmnt94]

you should have stuck around for fun runs...i ended up recording a cone free pass of 37.05 i ended up getting in a total of 5 of em. send me a PM with your email addy so i can email you pics of you from sat! later
