There isn't. I've looked. I've tried mapquest, actual maps, etc. No Quahog, RI.

 

[bbarbulo]

Do you intend to invite someone from VW of America?
It could be good occasion to convey some of our *****es
to them,even if they give us a stonewall faces.
I'll see you all there!

Very cool, all!

This could be a GREAT chance to get some legislative eyes on the fact that TDIs are clean, efficient cars for us CARB-Diet states. /images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

 

[fincoop]

IMO a mileage event imposes very stiff rules such that it detracts from the fun, or else it is too easy to cheat. Another detractor is that no two cars are the same, so winning doesn't take as much skill.

My word is definitely biased, but a time/points based rally is all fun with very little in the way of rules. Alternatively, just prepare a map for people who want to take a drive in their free time. Either way, a night rally would be very interesting /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

If you decide to piece together any kind of route, give me a buzz and I'll share the secrets of the 03 rally with you.

Cheers, and great prez BTW.

I've converted this file to an HTML VERSION and stuck it on my website. I got the idea when I converted My Own TDI Presentation to HTML. It's a little slower than a true PPT. But it still works. I'll leave yours up until October 1st.

I'll be glad to host another one that shows updates, if you like.

Take Care,

Scott

 

[Jetter_Sprinta]

September 3rd 4th and 5th.

[tdipoet]

just because you can't see the gears doesn't mean the machine isn't active... stay tuned for something more substantial real soon.

 

[TDI-NEVER-DIE]

Keep up the good work fellas...
I have been up in that area before and really enjoyed.

well zero progress reports and promised of a logo vote (now months past /images/graemlins/wink.gif) are all pointing towards a feeling of stagnation - i hope yall are busy working on this, but it would be nice to have some reports... this event is a large investment of time and money for a lot of us to attend, and we have a strong interest in its success...

/images/graemlins/grin.gif

even if yall are barely rolling the ball along /images/graemlins/smirk.gif - I'm sure it'll be fun! I can't wait!!!!! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tomo366]

LOL.....
I had my Hotel Reservation and fees paid By December the last 2 years
And after the Michigan's group amazing GTG 2 years ago it is very hard to measure up to that. Last year was close /images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

 

[GeWilli]

Hey tomo,

maybe if we keep poking them we'll hear something /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[tomo366]

No more poking coming from me..... I will be staying home that weekend.

 

[GeWilli]

I dunno we might have to send the PeterV express down to haul your stubborn butt up to the Fest!
/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can't imaging givin peter a hard time without you being there to add good subtle hillareous verbal jabs!

 

[Jimbo70]

I've added TDIFest 2004 to the Event Calendar on our club's website, and the Wasserwerks TDI contingent (at this point, me) is planning on driving up for at least a day. I'll be fresh from driving back from Ohio, so my butt-bone should be ready for the short 3 hour or so cruise to Beantown.

 

[Dragokatzov]

hmmm, maybe i can go this year! i wanted to go last year, but unemployment kept me from going. /images/graemlins/frown.gif now i've had this new job, and lots of vacation saved up! yippie!

 

[TwinsDad]

My registration is in and payment confirmed by paypal. I should be well rested when I get there, my engine won't even be warmed up! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/cool.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif It'll be about a 10 minite drive, if that.

[NewTdi]

How long of a drive from San Francisco? We need west coast reppresentation there! Is there room for some West Coasties?

 

[Jetter_Sprinta]

Hi NewTDI,

How long of a drive from San Francisco?

If you get up real early you can make it by 9:00 a.m.

We'd love to have you, and yes we have room. I do suggest however that if you're serious, that you make your hotel reservation ASAP! (Could you give Harvieux a ride?

?)
