New Year's Day @ the Ho5G!

[VeeDubTDI]

Just got home. Sara is sick with the flu and won't be joining us this year.

If Tomo wants to ride up with us, we'll take the Benz (with snow tires). If it's just Jason and I, we'll take the Jetta (also with snow tires).

 

[MikeS_18]

Anything else I should bring?

Yes, bring the other owner of your username. Haven't seen him in a long time

 

[Lug_Nut]

Bonnie will make an apple cake.

 

[PeterV]

Yummy food all welcome..

Yikes some arrive TOMORROW!

We will try to drive slowly! (But not slowly enough for the 4-way flashers)

 

[PeterV]

We have some snow in the back! And perhaps more wed/thurs..

Does anyone that is going to this GTG have a terminal release tool? Its the only tool I don't have which apparently I will need to install the rear fog trigger wire. I am not sure where to get one locally.

Jason can bring his.

 

[Abacus]

I'll have my terminal kit with me as well.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I'll bring the B4 up: It's finally adjusted to running at 75 MPH. Yes, Jack, I do drive it 75.

 

[Abacus]

How long did it take to clear the engine of carbon so you could go that fast?

 

[MikeS_18]

Peter/Corey,

What time is the first IDParts vehicle coming up?

(UPS is not coming through for me today.)

 

[PeterV]

Lift time is critical for MikeS as there is a big job waiting after his use.

 

[Hamsterdiesel]

We need plates and napkins...we are good on cups and utensils.

I've got a back-up plan. Changing the caliper is the key thing (and I have the caliper already), if I have to get some pads from Sannell today or come back and change an iffy hardline another day its no big deal. I'll stick with the schedule or do my work on jack stands.

and it's in manchester as of 5am. I wonder if it might make a truck today - UPS might have made us a 2 day location when before we were overnight.

Noted
FYI kale is out of season...

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I was planning on getting there before 11. Mike, you know you're going to have rusty and broken bolts and your car won't come apart, so I doubt you'll be waiting for us.

 

[MikeS_18]

Love you too Peter...

(and you've got mail. thanks.)

 

[TDIDaveNH]

@ Mike S....If you have an iffy brake hardline, I can bring my hand-held hydraulic brake line flaring tool. Not sure if I have a bender though....I'm sure someone has if the line is an issue. If you can bring new line, I have some new fittings & steel unions that I will pack with tools later today...

 

[BeetleGo]

I'm sorry I won't be able to make it this year.

Have a great time everybody, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

 

[Abacus]

That is a sweet flaring tool, Dave.

Peter, just placed an order for pickup.

Does anyone need anything (tools, parts, etc) specific I have that might be needed?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Jason and I are filling up the Jetta and hitting the road now.

See you whenever traffic allows.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

How long did it take to clear the engine of carbon so you could go that fast?

Surprizingly the intake was clean, and the car has no evidence of CAT clogging. And just to further rustle Jack, Mike (co-worker) was pulled over for driving 85 on his way to the Fest.

 

[compu_85]

Does anyone need a Jeep Liberty turbo? I'll have a freshly rebuilt one with me!

@ Mike S....If you have an iffy brake hardline, I can bring my hand-held hydraulic brake line flaring tool.

Dave, thanks but no need. I am not sure it's weeping - but since I was in there I wanted to replace it. It's the last hardline with the flex connect to the caliper. Pete is bringing one in case I need it - I suspect I can forgo it.

 

[GT2]

I plan on attending.
FREE Stuff:
I am bringing a unwanted, MK IV Jetta driver's arm rest with bracket and caps, in great working condition, tan in color, up for grabs to the most neediest with lazy arm fatigue syndrome.
FOOD:
I am cooking up some oriental chicken soup.

 

[94x]

Hey guys - if you're coming but haven't posted, PLEASE DO SO. We are preparing for a small GTG as of now. We need to adjust if the numbers are bigger than what's posted so far (and we'd be glad to do so). THANKS!

I'm in.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

We arrived about an hour ago - the drive up couldn't have been better. We took 95 most of the way and the trip was 8 hours on the nose with no traffic.

 

[muddflaps]

I am going to try to make it to my first HO5G with my newly aquired unicorn

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Happy new year from Ho5G!!
