Does this mean the GA State Patrol will be waiting for us? We went a couple of years ago, and let's just say the the Speed 'Suggestion' signs were an afterthought.

Anyway...RK & I are registered and looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.

What are these signs you speak of?

and yes the apr bbq caravan is when i got my old 2.0 to 2.go (relatively speaking).

Maybe I will pass you all on I-85 going the opposite way, I have to take my mom to Atl airport that morning.

Anyone want to have a little less illegal caravan down? If so, where would we want to meet up?

[Freaky Beetle]

A week away! Do we want our own convoy?

[vw_beetle_gpx]

I'm hoping I might get the day off, we had a couple of guys quit in my department, so who knows.

The BBQ begins @ 11 AM Eastern Time, the maniacs are leaving at 10 AM, and might be trying to make the 100+ mile drive in under an hour. I say we meet @ the Varsity around 9:30 AM, maybe leave a few minutes before they do, let them pass us, and sniff out all the cops.

Maybe I'm getting boring in my old age, but I don't mind getting there a few minutes later and reducing the risk of dying in a crash or getting arrested.

This event is supposed to last from 10 AM - 5 PM local time....we're not going to miss much by getting there at 10:30 instead of 9:55.

ShellBug...sorry you'll be going the opposite direction, but you can always stop on your way back.

Shortly after 1700h today (Friday) the skies opened up, ensuring the annual
pilgrimage to APR is a wash (literally).

Lest you cancel your plans, I am referring only to SS and myself.

Here's why from a different thread/post:

"SS is at 44.5K miles and only gets taken out on dry, sunny days now, averaging < 100 miles/month"

Keeping SS at a concours-level of readiness requuires no small amount of
sacrifice on my part. Unfortunately, cashflow issues negate the option of going
to the truck/featherlight solution.

Hell, there's always next year.

There's only a 40% chance of rain tomorrow, and I thought you had a silver 'Vert for the daily driver.

Anyway...for those people who are interested in going, RK & I probably won't be meeting at the Varsity. We're meeting another .org member on the east side since we'll be leaving a little earlier and not running with the maniacs.

We're looking forward to a great day.

Hey Glen -

Both SS and I retired at the same time:

SS2 (my '03 Silver Reflex NBC GLS Turbo) is now the breadwinner, with about 30K on the clock, and has been completely trouble-free. I've kept it basically stock, but couldn't resist adding a set of 16x7 BBS RD wheels with 225R50/16
Goodyear TripleTreads - corners and tracks much better; also, some clear corners and chrome headlight/taillight trim.

I need to work on a backup plan for next year.

I saw about a dozen gti's in a group at the alabama/georgia line about 11 am. I didn't see any beetles on my way up to atl, I must have missed everyone

I only saw a few other Pods there. I pimped NewBeetle.org to a couple of them, but didn't catch up with the others.

Ah...you got to see the Dürty Dübs, the maniacs I was talking about. Jai & Holly in the TT and RK & I in Aphid were about an hour ahead of them.

btw...thank the Lord everyone made it there and back safely. We didn't ask how fast they drove.

I drove with them and we really didn't go very fast down there, and I didnt drive back with most of them. I'm sure i was probably in the group that shellbug saw. Was good seeing you guys down there and I look forward to bugapalooza.
