Come and enjoy the fall colors in West Michigan, while socializing and light wrenching on TDI's w/ good TDI folk!

Saturday, October 10th, 2015 - (3rd Annual)
9am to 7pm

11877 Ritchie Ave NE, Cedar Springs, MI 49319

(if anybody needs better directions than this, pm or email me, and I'll send you out a pdf map)

We will have a good outdoor fire going all day long, some white bean chicken chili in the pot, and some other light fixin's.

Bring your own beverages, and if you'd like to bring a dish or snack to share, feel free.

TUNE NOTE: - Jeff Robertson from Rocketchips indicated HE WILL BE HERE

USED PARTS NOTE: I believe Chris Thompson (username CTTDI) will be here (as he was the last 2 years) with used Mk4 parts galore for sale, so put your used parts shopping list together. He is also starting to part MK5 and MK6 cars as well.

Another used parts note - (username Celco) will have some parts there as well - see post #85 on the 6th page please.

I'm non-committal as usual. :D

Kirk, Your already planning this year's gtg?
It seemed like we got together just a few months ago last year!

I am definitely coming. Please add my name to the tune list.

My turbo blew last week so my car is up on jackstands currently awaiting a vnt-17 and upgraded smic, piping and clutch.

I will be going from a RC1+ to an RC4 to enhance all my "repairs".

Thanks

Sounds like this GTG will be just in time. If I don't get my electrical issues figured out by then, have you heard of any electrical guru's coming?

With the right beverages, we can warm you up to a perceived '75 and sunny'.

Or stand near Mark of Diesel, and his warm and sunny disposition (and day-glo jumpsuit) will make you feel like it's 75 and sunny.

Or maybe it's just the hot air emanating from him. :D
