This will be an easy one to make. The SS in SSTDI is Silver Spring, where I used to live. I used to stalk Tomo, or visa verse? Back when he had a red MKIV Jetta... long long ago. :)

Can't wait... maybe I'll actually have a diesel this time around. ;)

Then I won't be the schmuck with a non-turbo indirect injection gasser. :p

At least I wasn't the schmuck parking a red gasser in the middle of a group of TDIs, trying to pass it off as a TDI, or the one parking a horribly sooty white "GTI TDI" next to the clean diesels.

:p

But you did park a red 3.5 cylinder gasser in the middle of a group of TDIs. :p

Looking forward to my first TDIFest in '09, and see some more sights in the DC area.
Glad to hear you're planning on coming down! :cool:

Wow, it is awesome the TDIFest will be so close. I have to convince my wife to stay in town this time, so that I leave my car at home and take a walk to Dulles :D .

That reminds me: do we want some coverage from VoA? The new HQ is very close.

I mean maybe by that time they will be able to bring Tig TDI or Egg2 TDI V6 to show?

The location was chosen in part because of its proximity to VWoA's new headquarters. Talking to them is on our list of things to do. :cool:

bestmapman, we're thinking about it. I can plan a really sweet route through Great Falls, VA that will take us on a nice scenic tour. It will also be a challenge to the cars in terms of fuel economy.

Talk? Are you sure that will work? I would think "clue by 4s" as a minimum would be needed ;)

If I could make a suggestion, it would be to have the fuel economy run the day of the start of TDIfest. That would be the 4th. The people who would want to be in it would have to come early. That way it could be an all day run (at least 300 miles).

Just a thought.

I'm not sure I'm up for a 300 mile drive on the first day of Fest.

I am sure Lindsay VW and VwoA will be onboard once they are contacted. I thought just rolled by my mine is an event around the same time as we plan the 2009fest is another event that is huge called Bugout and it is at Old Dominion raceway (Manassas about 20 miles from Dulles) which both Lindsay and VWoA were heavily involved.

"...it could be an all day run (at least 300 miles)."

300 miles = all day? :confused:

High five!
I finally get myself a TDI and look what happens; the next TDIFest is ~an hour from my house.

Now should i bring my (new to me) 05 TDI Passat variant or my trusty old veggie MKII Jetta?
