Mark of Diesel · Jan 4, 2008

Well, it's VERY weather dependent but Lin and I are thinking about making the trek too. Shall we all meet at the VW diesel display (I hear they're putting up a big push for the new "Clean Diesel" 50 state ready models) with green (for diesel) carnations in our lapels?

compu_85 · Jan 4, 2008

Oh that's a good point... we should get all our TDI apparel together! Hmm, all I have is a pin from a previous TDIFest...

validius · Jan 4, 2008

Growler · Jan 4, 2008

Jason, Mark (Validius) what are your schedules for saturday? I was hoping to come up in the morning (so arrrive around noonish) and will need something to do until about 6pm when Matt gets home...

whats the plans for Saturday? I will have a GPS unit to play with so hopefully I wont get lost up there.

and Mark of Diesel.. would be AWESOME to see you and your wife again.

I was just talking with another local, and he was sayin if we can get a committed list he might be able to get us cheaper tickets if we all buy at once. I know I'm interested, how about you guys?

As far as sat I don't know yet

-Jason

bhtooefr · Jan 5, 2008

validius · Jan 5, 2008

My dad ond Tom may have cheep ticket hookups. Il keep this thread posted.

Aaron, im thinking that we (You, Eric, Jason, Tom and Lawson) will meet up at my place. you can look at the SEL and fiouy want help me change out some motor mounts in the 300D. There is also another spot in the heated garage for a second car if anyone else wants to do any work.

oilhammer · Jan 5, 2008

I would like to drive up, but right now am not sure if I can make it

I need the opportunity to rack the miles up on the Jetta to keep my firm lead over compu's ECOdiesel.

12,000 miles is hardly firm.

Besides, Tom's 300D beats both of yours with a whopping 420k.

Hehe, yeah, I know. But I will have 420k by summer, this year!

compu_85 · Jan 5, 2008

Mine still has the original clutch but it is just barely hangin' on

validius · Jan 5, 2008

Jason, how do you know your motor wasnt swapped for another EcoDiesel motor at some point?

oilhammer · Jan 5, 2008

Mine is all 100% original because I am the only one that has ever touched the car since it left the showroom floor
