[J2R]

Richmond, VA: I will be heading thru your area around 8. I used to live there so give me a spot and we'll meet you.

[RIZZXX7]

I was going to leave around 4 or 5 so I can make it there by 11

[WE3RX7]

RIZZXX7, I'm leaving on Friday morning early from northern/central VA around 5 am, which route are you taking down? I'd love to stare at that FD for a few hours, lol...

[RIZZXX7]

[RIZZXX7]

let me know, I don't really want to go up there by myself

[WE3RX7]

Wow, according to mapquest, my drive is shorter than yours.. I wouldn't have guessed.

Looks like we'll both intersect at 40W, but I wont get on there until Asheville... which would be around 12-1...

If you wanted, we could meet up in Asheville and drive the last hour or so in...

[RIZZXX7]

im probably going to be there before then

[Trout2]

I'm headed to Springfield VA to buy another FD on Tuesday so I'd like to join the caravan on Thursday morning in VA.

If I don't purchase this car, I'll be begging someone for a ride. Don't expect it to be a problem based on pictures and Ray Crowe's inspection/testing.

[QUOTE=WE3RX7;81497]Wow, according to mapquest, my drive is shorter than yours.. I wouldn't have guessed.

yeah, you guys are already pretty far inland. I live right by the water so I got a bit of a long hall.

[J2R]

DarthRotary and Jack can we all meet in Richmond Thursday morning say 7:00 am?

If you leave at 4am, you'd probably be coming through Asheville at 12...based on the mapquest. Although, I'm sure you can make up time in that FD fairly easily...

No big deal, I'll catch up with you all Friday afternoon at the village then :)

Sounds good to me (kinda early but I'll survive). Since I'm not familiar with the area somewhere off the I-95 would be helpful to meet.

My cell phone is 504-344-6803 and e-mail is uratrout@msn.com

Works for me.

Jack

[J2R]

Sweet, so far it's just you and me but we'll see if we can get others to join us.

[darthrotary]

Sorry, been workinon the car like crazy! I am havin cooling issues at high RPM's, ran through the whole cooling system and still having a prob locating it. I can meet you guys around 7. Once we head will see if I can keep up, might have to take it easy.

5602 Chamberlayne Rd Richmond, VA 23227 is that the address for the McDonalds?

[J2R]

Awesome! Yup that's the right address, Mike and I will be in a red RX-8 and Jack will be in a possible white FD. Then we will meet a few others 6 hrs later in Asheville NC at a Hooters (518 Keniworth Ave Asheville NC) around 2:30-3:30 pm. We can keep a good pace with you, there will be extra time to stop between Richmond and Asheville since the others we are meeting from down south won't be in Asheville till about 3-3:30pm.

Our cell is 301-932-9223

Well I am sorry, My girlfriend can go, but has to take her lil girl to school at 830, then we hit the road. So I wont be at Richmond until 930ish. Either way, if I can make it to Ashville around 3 ish I'll catch up with you guys then! Happy Rotoring guys!

[J2R]

Sorry to hear, you might be able to catch us if you leave around 9am with out stopping along the way to Asheville. Give Mike and I call and we will see how far away you are from Asheville around 2:30-3:30, maybe the others will want to sit around and eat while were there. Also we will have our radios on channel 2 we have a 20 mile range if it helps.

We switched the address in Asheville to a Cracker Barrel:
5 Crowell Rd, Asheville, NC (2:30 - 3:30 pm Thursday)

[Trout2]

Jess,

I got your cell number. In case you didn't get mine earlier in the two threads we've been on, it's 504-344-6803.

I'm staying on the north side of Richmond tonight in Glen Allen. I'll be the new white FD at the McD's at 7 AM.

Jack

[RIZZXX7]

congrats on the new fd!!!

[J2R]

Congrats Jack! I look forward to seeing it in the morning. :)

I got your cell, I'll call you when we get to McDonalds. It will be just you and I until Asheville when we meet the others at the Cracker Barrel. Mind our 8, it's pretty dirty from the rain. :P
