Another awesome G2G, big thank you to Daniel, Landon and family, great to see everyone else again.

I've got about 40 pictures from this morning, but having trouble linking them into this post for everyone to see. Can anyone host the pictures in a public web directory (web hosting)? That would make it easier to link into this post. Thanks!

For now, here's a link. https://plus.google.com/photos/1007...s/5936671619363406977?authkey=CJTvicb6uLK1uwE

great photos, the hard part is resizing them.

Thanks to all who came. We had a great time. It was great to see old friends and to meet new. We really appreciate all the wives and ladies that came this time and helped out so much with the prepartions. That really was a big help to Karen and she is very appreciative.

It does appear that we had one car that shed some suspension parts on the way out the driveway. This morning I found what appears to be an A4 Sway Bar Bracket laying in the driveway just after the first cattle guard. Those who messed with suspension should be advised to look under your cars.

Safe travels to those still on there way home today.

Also, someone left a nice RealTree Lawn Chair out by the firepit. Let us know who it belongs to and we will try to get it back to you.

Cheryl and I had a great time. Landon, Karen, Daniel: We thank you for the hospitality. Great food. Fun wrenching. Thanks for those that let me play with your car.....hope everything still works Cheryl professes that she enjoyed her first full GTG.

Neal, the Audi short shifter is great. Just needs a tweak that I'll take care of someday. Thanks for help with the installation.

I seem to be missing a size 0 straight blade screwdriver. It will be a black or black/red handle Craftsman professional. If I played with your car, please see if it's on your raintray. Landon/Daniel, it may be on the bench when we were playing with an injector. If you find it, I'd like to have it back.

Thanks all, Bruce and Cheryl.

I expect to see everybody at Dan's in January, if I 40 is not iced over....

Black with camo accenting and a business card IIRC in the drink holder, I left it at the fire pit.

PM sent also.

And my thanks to ADW and all that chipped in to make it a pleasant day.

Thanks,

Gary

Was an amazing first time experiment! Big thanks to everyone who helped me with different things with my car. Big thumbs up for Bruce!

Andrew, I can mosdef feel the difference with the tune! Can't stop stomping on that thing they call "accelerator" pedal!!!

 

[DanG144]

I really enjoyed seeing everyone and meeting new friends. Thanks to our hostess and hosts.

Gorgeous place, beautiful time of year, nice cool weather.

See many of you late January or early February at my house. Will post the GTG particulars soon.

Bruce, I will dig through my tools; I purposely took no craftsman screwdrivers. Probably be tomorrow.

John, please email me (right click on my name to the left of the post) or PM me some contact information. I consulted with the available talent last night, and we have some possibilities to discuss.

Thanks for hosting another great GTG, Daniel & Crew. Big thanks to Andrew and Terry for giving me some much needed parts in the nick of time. The car is running much better now. There's no more shudder when braking AND the power loss issue is resolved. Thanks to everyone who helped with my brakes as well. It takes a village to keep my car going.

P.S. Thank you for the mustache, Dave. It was magnificent.

 

[MN_TDI12]

I had a great time at my first gtg. Great getting to meet some of you. Andrew, I'm loving the 1.5 tune. Definitely going to need the DSG tune. Let me know when the tool is back up and running and we'll get something worked out. Thanks again. One last thanks to Daniel and crew for their hospitality.

AND the power loss issue is resolved.

May I assume that the EGR vacuum line with the multiple holes was the culprit?

 

[jcilforever]

Thank you to the hosts that were most gracious. Thank you to all of those who had a hand in the food prep it was yum. It was great seeing everyone also thank you to Pete about sunroof. Wish you all the best, great people!

 

[Emdog4]

great photos, the hard part is resizing them.

I resized them to 5.0 megapixels, but can shrink them to 800x600 for this page and reexport them. Since they are named sequentially, if they are uploaded to a public web directory (anyone? I can send you a zip file..), it would be easy to copy/paste the link and then increment the IMG tag for images 1-40. This would take about 60 seconds. On the other hand, Flickr/gooleplus/dropbox/etc all obscure the image name which makes the process of right-clicking on each picture and getting the img url veryyy tedious. At any rate, I hope yall enjoy the pics. Feel free to download/copy which ever ones you want.

Sorry that I missed this g2g. I was planning on going but something came up and couldn't make.

Newzboys, I'll order the Passat hood struts online in the next week or so. I might need something else though.

 

[ATLSilverTDI]

Thanks for hosting, and thanks to Dan and Justin for the help! Good to see all the good people again!

 

[rawmnivore]

I hereby grant you permission to assume. And you'd be correct. Sometimes it's the simplest things. Thanks for the diagnosis. Lemme know if you need my gentle-sized hands to get into any tight wrenching spots at a future GTG.

 

[terrydtdi]

Daniel, Landon, and Karen thank you so much for providing us with some awsome good and beautiful scenery.It was great seeing everybody again, I always enjoy it.


Already looking forward to the next GTG.

Someone was asking about a good wide-base coffee mug.

is what I presently use. Highwave makes/sells good products.

It was great seeing everyone. Great time, great Q. Thanks for hosting.

P.S. Thank you for the mustache, Dave. It was magnificent.

You're welcome! Truly all men and women appreciate something that so well represent the natural essence of masculinity.

We hit up downtown Asheville and saw the bare-breasted women and then took the Blue Ridge Parkway for a sites to a see.

You took pictures of water and trees....but none of the bare breasted women?

Is this still a thing?

Hello Everybody, does this still go on?? I am new to everything TDI and only live about an hour away from Asheville (actually bought my jetta not far from Leicester). I would love to join in on all the fun and I have a million new questions everyday as I try to learn about this car!

It does still occur, even though I miss it every year lol. Usually the second weekend of October.
What area do you live? I'm by the airport.

There are also gatherings every other Wednesday All German Performance. Not TDI specific but all VWers.
There's plenty of folks on the forum that are in the area, so there's always a close helping hand if you need it.
