[biobill]

'bout what time is the Rally supposed to start?

 

[suds]

About 9:00am for the drivers meeting at the hotel.

 

[Vik F]

catch up.....

lots of fun to be had folks....

 

[Wingnut]

I will have to withdraw my registration for the rally. I got schmucked on the 401 last night. Waiting to hear from insurace company on the outcome.

Looks like I'll be a navigator for this one!!!

 

[TDIMeister]

My gosh, NOOOO!!! Really, really sorry to hear about that. Hope you and everyone involved are OK. Hope you get back on a set of TDI wheels soon. An `04 with the PD engine would be a timely option....

 

[suds]

Whoa Nigel! Everything okay? I hope so (other than the car - that can be replaced).

 

[Wingnut]

Yeah. Thanks Suds. I have built in airbags!!!

 

[Vik F]

good luck

Wingnut, I'm looking for a co-pilot / navigator for the rally. Would you be interested in joining me? Let me know.

Thank you so much for the offer, but I have already lined up a pilot for the rally. As a side benefit, he lives in my hometown (Ajax), so I can even get rides to the fest with him. It would be weird to go to a TDI fest in a gasser rental.

Darn, looks like I'll still be the only one

 

[Radman]

Fred, Here in Montreal you can rent TDI's from Via-Route. Not sure if available in Ontario though

 

[SilverThunder]

Count me in also

ST

 

[DzlEnthusiast]

Count me in for the rally...Although I'm a gasser...Will the partnership be decided at the Driver's meet?

Cheers

Dzl

 

[Maialetto]

this Lurker will rally. I was just told about TDIFest today by a gasser. Man I should come here more often. Is it a time/distance rally?

 

[suds]

it's a points based rally. The route provides a challenge but will be just a fun to do for the scenery.

Saturday morning 9:00 AM, during the driver's meeting, we'll try to match up the drivers without navigators to the navigators without drivers. But feel free to have your own arrangement made beforehand; it will save time and aggravation.

To address one other point ... this is not a speed contest, we can't do that on public roads. Going too fast will cost you points on the rally scoring (and maybe points on your license ...) The rest will be based on seeing certain landmarks and on not getting lost ...

 

[Rammstein]

I would like to be in.

Will need a co-pilot though.

A nice young (18-30) attractive lady please.

Thank you.

(rats - got locked out of my old account and had to create a new one.)

Anyway,

I found out I'll be in the Toronto area this weekend after all, and I'd really like to make it to at least the rally on Saturday but I can't really guarantee anything else... about what time is the rally looking to finish up? I have another commitment for Saturday evening but I might try to get back for part of Sunday - we'll see.

also, suds, if you're watching this, should I still Paypal you the registration fee or should I plan on paying on-site?

 

[suds]

The rally will run from 9:00am until approx. 2:00pm. If you are coming please pay on site since processing time for paypal is too long at this point in the game.
Hope to see you there!

 

[blandon]

Actually, that sounds perfect for my schedule - getting my registration on right now (with co-pilot).

 

[tstdi]

count me in for the rally.

 

[DzlEnthusiast]

How will you know if we've gone to fast...has someone run the entire course at the speed limit(s)?

Rammstein...We can all hope. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Cheers

Dzl

 

[Vik F]

yup we drove it at the speed limit, know how much fuel it takes, even ran it with 15" and 17" wheels to get the kms #'s too....we have it all covered...i suspect many wil drive this on there leisure, having more fun /images/graemlins/wink.gif on the 2nd pass /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[mainframe]

Add my car to the Rally List !! Mainframe with an A4 Golf.

 

[DzlEnthusiast]

I may have to withdraw from the rally because I have to work from 1 o clock...

Would you actually finish driving before then or is ti timed out that it would finish by 2?

Cheers

Dzl

 

[GoFaster]

If you get an early departure number, you should be okay (barely).

 

[fincoop]

Well, either people looking to copilot will show up on Saturday morning, or you can shmooze someone Friday night.

 

[DzlEnthusiast]

I really think I'm gone...Because I don't think I could finish the rally and make it to 403/Mississauga for 1 o clock.

Sunday I will probably be there ALL day

Cheers
