Greetings from North Carolina! I'm embarking on the 2100-mile drive to Austin on the 3rd. I have a work assignment from 5-11 in downtown Austin, and will be working till 6-7pm nightly. Should anyone happen to live in the area, and want to meet an out of town TDI'er ... I'd appreciate some company, and also to hang out and meet other TDI folk from the south. I'm hoping you guys do the southern hospitality thing like we do here
So far as I know, I'll be staying at the Hilton on E 4th St. I have some questions regarding parking, the guy heading up this project said that you may have to pay to park... I would hope my Hilton reservation (paid by the company) will let me park in the deck as a courtesy, but I've never been to the Lone Star state. I am aware that there are lane-size shoulders, and should a trail of 3 (or 4?) + cars gets behind you, you must move to the shoulder and let them pass....
Any other information I should know about? I am planning to make the trip on B100; I'll be toting some fuel with me (15 to 30 gallons, depending on what EcoWise of Austin tells me about their B99 and cost when they open today), and on the return trip I'm stopping off in Georgia to meet another TDI'er to pick up a NA 1.6L VW Diesel engine for our '89 2DR Golf project (we're doing a direct swap).
So... whose in Austin?
