I will be having a GTG at my house on Saturday, Jan 30, 2016.
8 am to 7 pm.
Lunch around 1230, leftovers (if any) for supper at 6 pm.
Light wrenching, food, lots of talking and sharing knowledge.
Tuners
Andrew Rodriguez will be there for Malone Tuning and selling his very good products. Contact him if you want a Malone tune or another of the products he sells, so he can prepare or bring it. http://www.aarodriguezcorp.com/
Jeff Robertson has had to back out. The blizzard of last week is still impacting him; he has customer's cars that are already delayed, and could not ask them to wait the 3 days it would take him to make the trip.
Someone remind me in a week and I will swap the order of those tuners in this post. Both are excellent; the order shows no preference on my part. Neither does the order of the mechanics shown below.
Mechanics attending
These guys often provide free technical advice and help folks to do minor tasks; this is all on a volunteer basis. They may show up in their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and just shoot the breeze. Or even take the opportunity to work on their own cars...Please do not show up with an all day task and expect to tie them up - unless you plan it in advance with them.
Landon and Daniel G. from Appalachian Diesel Works will be here from Alexander, NC. Excellent VW diesel mechanics. Landon always brings his injector pop tester with him, to make sure the shop smells enough like diesel fuel. DEGrindstaff@gmail.com, 828 273 8951.
Richard55 will be here from Rutledge, GA. He is also an excellent diesel mechanics on the VW. LORCComplex@gmail.com 541 980 1466.
Jimbote, will be here from Sanford, NC. He is an excellent mechanic. 919 545 6476
Pete R., the worlds best VW shop foreman will be here from Gunter, VW in Florida.
It will be about like the others I have held at my house.
As usual it is being held the week before the Superbowl.
This will be similar to the Asheville area GTG that is due to be held on Oct. 10, 2015, without the stunning views. It might be a tad cooler as well.
Generally between 35 and 55 cars show up, from 5 to 8 states.
I have a hobby shop with one lift and another bay, and a house garage with 2 bays. There is room for two more cars on a concrete pad.
The bulk of the parking is on gravel or dirt, in the woods around my house. The road leading to my house is gravel, at least 100 yds of gravel if you come via Columbia Ave, to Woodthrush. Up to a mile of gravel road by other approaches.
Usually there will be folks here that can provide advice and some help with light wrenching projects. There will be several VCDS cables around to check out cars with.
I do ask that no one plan to do a timing belt or cam replacement at the GTG.
Midlands Biofuels will bring a biofuel trailer, and perhaps a waste oil trailer. More to follow on this.
