I'm not leading the pack, so I will follow whatever the leader sets for speed :)

5 over is a good number.

Damn it...I have my room reserved for Thursday, Friday, & Saturday. Crap!!! Now I wanna leave Thursday!!

What? That's when we're leaving... Thursday morning.

Well damn it.....someone told me Friday.....:icon14:....nevermind. I really just need to know which days I need to ask off from work...so it is Thursday and Friday, right? I hope to be back to working status by the following Monday. :p

Yeah, Thursday and Friday. I took those days off plus Monday. :)

Ok, cool deal....just making sure. :tiphat:

May 20th is Thursday. We leave early Thursday morning. Return date is May 23 (Sunday).

So I tried a little harder to get the film on more cleanly -- still looks like crap. It would blend in pretty well on a white or silver car, but it's really tough to get it on cleanly on darker colors.

I still think I'm going to use it, though, becuase I don't want to be wiping off bugs when we get there.

Are we there yet?

We are leaving May 19 around 9AM, is like a 6 to 7 hours drive from VA, right?

Thursday is the first day of the events.


I'm using blue painters tape, it will go with my paint. :D

Wonder what its gonna look like on black...shouldn't be too bad. Oh well...its better than living with bug stains in my clear coat again like the last trip I took.

I have the option to take Monday off as well, so if someone wants to linger and do some other cool stuff, please let me know. If not, coming back Sunday works for me.

Take that back, just tested a little on my car...we are gonna look 3/4th's retarded on the way down there....

:tup:

Haha! Some of that white film that the factory puts on the cars for transport would probably have looked better. :icon18:

As I recall, there ARE some Thursday events but I thought they were Thursday evening -- sort of a social mixer.....

I'd estimate given the route we're gonna have to take, food & fuel stops, Good Citizen Zpeed limits, etc., we're going to be in for about a 9~10 hr CruiZ -- but hey, that's good "Zeat Time":driving:

The only thing going on Thursday is the airport run and that's not even anywhere close to Fontana Villiage.

Anyway we will be getting there late on Wednesday. On Thursady whatever is going on, it is Zday, relaxation and fun time!;)

Kool, well you'll probably see us pulling in then Thursday late afternoon/early evening. ;-)

With cars plastered with cling wrap. :icon18::icon18:

:tup:

I'm actually going to look for some red painter's tape (if there is such a thing) today. If I can lay down the film and then tape it off it might look ok. :D

Not mine... it will be plastered with bugs... ;-)

Them bug guts will blend in nicely with your yellow Z! Mine is gonna be plastered too.

Oh, I'd take Black over Yellow any day when it comes to bugs! Wait till you see the front of my car when we arrive, LOL!

Bug guts clearly stain the clear coat on black...

I don't know anything about that, but the black bugs sure do look great on yeller! ;-)

I picked up two Cobra two-ways yesterday.

Two words....Clear Bra. I hope.

The front of my car is too far gone to even consider this unless I paint it. When I do get it repainted, I'll probably do it.

I'll bring my Motorola Talkabouts on Sat so we can confirm channels/freqs. Also thinkin about doing up a mobile phone matrix so we have alternate communications unless we get outside the talkabout ranges, etc.

Sounds like a plan. I'll bring my new EM1000R's...

Sounds good. We'll need to have a primary and backup channel for our two-ways and a mobile list will be helpful. I have all that information from the registration which I'll e-mail around probably this weekend. :tup:

It looks like a very manageable caravan with only 7 cars. Sounds like everyone will probably have the use of a radio and the cell phone list will be short and sweet! ;-)

So Steve is putting together some nice information cards for us to pass out this Saturday!

So we have a comms plan, gear, with additional info on the cards. I'm thinking we'll be well informed and in the know! Now I just need to make sure to bring some snacks!

I'm sure one of us will forget to pack a toothbrush.

How long is the drive from Columbia, MD ????

Probably 10-11 hours.

damn, are u going ?

A detailing toothbrush or a teeth toothbrush......(or both....):icon17:
