She's quickly become an nB junkie And HJ is just plain cool. My vote is she'll love it

I'm not far from there. If the timing is right, we could probably hook up for a bugavan. I might be starting on Thursday and meeting up with Beetlescott in KY.
Never have been huge on geography but if carabugging works from location to location, get posting to the threads

Roberta & I will be driving "The Dragon" the 1st weekend in October. We'll be in our 07 Chrysler Crossfire Coupe along with another 69 XFires planning to attend our weekend event!!! We end up running on Saturday the route the VW NB's drive. Then on Sunday we take a northern route up along the Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park and come back thru 'The Dragon' again.

Some of the XFire Owners that are arriving early on Friday are planning to drive 'Moonshiner 28' all the way down to Walhalla, SC. That stretch of road is nearly as popular as 'The Dragon'.

Really anxious to try 'The Dragon' with our NB Ragtop next April.

OK folks, here is a rough list of the people I know who have booked at the Ridge Top. If I missed anybody, please post to the thread or PM me. I'll also add the folks I assume will be coming but haven't booked at the "Top" yet, or will be lodging elsewhere.

vwgary - Denise & Gary
scarabY2k - Val & Al
MichelleRoze - Michelle & Matt
SixChuter - Llona & John
HwDoYuSlpAtNite - Tamika & Steve
Warren - Warren
TechnoTrix'd - Rob
uwharrie - Lynne & David
ConnieRay - Connie & Ray
Salsa-Man - Mark
Karen1963 - Karen
Peanutsmom - Carla, Lance & Peanut
supercharged98 - Janie & Kurt & family
Fl_bug - CJ
EvilinaDM101 - Shonnel & Joey
Beetlescott - Scott
JonK - Jon
Opelmania - Joel & Vance
Duffy - (party of 2? names?)
4seven3 (party of 2, names please)
kbelle/locksmith - Kristen & Pierre


Folks at alternate lodging
Dedwards0323 - Dennis & Roberta


This gives us 21 confirmed (via this thread) at the Ridge Top as I still have not received the e-mail from Kathy. If 27 of the 36 rooms have been booked I have either missed 6 Orgers or we have non orgers who we'll be sharing the space with.

Below are folks who have stated they are attending, or I hope attend again tho I don't know where they wil be lodging.

Raff - Sue & Bob
aprilm - April & Gary
HarlequinPixie - Tabitha
TheNewRingo - Marc & family


Any others???

Bump the thread cause I can!

Probie is looking forward to rockin' his 18's and his 5spd at the Dragon in 2011. I suspect that I will have redone the headliner and door panels by then, got a timing belt/camshaft change, and maybe my calipers and valve cover (finally). If I can accomplish ATLEAST that...I will be happy....

I'll probably change the oil and give Sunshine a wash for ToD
