TDIFest 2012 coming to Ypsilanti, MI

[romad]

Actually the question should be: "You won't spend $55 to help support TDIClub.com"?

When I first got tuned I remember saying "Oh my God! Oh mY GOD!! OH MY GOD!!!" faster than I shifted into the next gear. I don't know how many times I said it all together, but for the record, I still say it from time to time but I said it over and over again. It's that good, and I'm only basic Level I chip (Rocket goes to VI now, I believe). I will upgrade as soon as my car starts to feel like I need different one. It's a very cheap way to make your car new all over again!

I look forward to going for the drive. I can't wait!

Somewhere I've found references to a RC stage 7, 7000 RPM tune.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

It does exist. Thought about asking Jeff for it when I get the wagon tune updated. But I don't think I'd really use it. 5,500 seems to be enough.

As an aside, I finally made hotel reservations for the Fest. No more double bed rooms.

 

[manual_tranny]

Haha, RC7, the tune where your injection pump meets God...

 

[jasonTDI]

It's would sound like a chant before it blew. HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Shirt sales are done - I'm in the process of placing our order. Don't worry - we are getting extra for on-site sales.

We will also have zip-up hoodies with this year's logo on the front.

 

[romad]

Starting out in about 90 minutes; see you there!

You're going to beat Matt-98AHU! He hasn't even left Santa Maria yet!

 

[romad]

Damn! He told me he was leaving on the 25th because he had a job in Vegas.

OK, shutting down the iMac; future posts will be via an iPad.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

He canceled the thing in Vegas and he left home about an hour ago. He's still doing the manual swap in Minnesota, hoping to make it to Ypsi by Friday (although I doubt that will happen, given it's a 3 day drive @ 800 miles per day).

Have a safe trip, Romad! Looking forward to updates and pics along the way.

 

[Lug_Nut]

Save the work for later, after the fest.

 

[romad]

I made it as far as Wendover UT today. No pics; Nevada is boring to drive through. I did pass a Jetta sedan with Calif plates; didn't see any indication he was enroute to Ypsilanti.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

I think Matt is staying in Grand Junction, CO tonight.

 

[BeetleGo]

I am going to have to bow out of this thing, I'm afraid. I have a family emergency I have to take care of and won't be able to make it.

This means that I have some tickets to some sold out events. I have tickets to:

Meet and Greet
Dinner

 

[compu_85]

Sorry to hear that BeetleGo, hopefully everything works out for the best

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Bummer! Hope everything is okay.

Too bad, I was looking forward to catching up with you!

 

[Growler]

any chance of seeing a G3F at TDIFest Mike? its the perfect place to advertise what you guys have been doing out there....

 

[manual_tranny]

The plan is that Mark and I will be driving our diesel G3F out there on Friday, staying Saturday, and heading back home that evening and/or Sunday.

I sure hope that we can stick to the plan.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Only staying for one day?

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Since online registration closed at 6pm today, you'll need to register on site. Good luck with the sale! You will definitely have a captive audience.

Hey guys, I have set up an online photo gallery for my photos of TDIFest 2012. I will be uploading photos at random intervals. the link is here http://mrfrankmrfrank.dnsalias.com/photo/index.php

I can also setup accounts for anyone who wants to be able to upload to this gallery. That way we can have a collective location for photos.

That's great Frank,

I also added this years section to the TDIClub gallery for pics as well here: http://pics.tdiclub.com/showgallery.php?cat=5671

Perhaps the best of can be moved there as well?

[Whitbread]

Picking up the better half right now. Be in ypsi within an hour or so .

 

[mrfrankmrfrank]

I felt like this was talked about elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Does rocketchip have a sign up sheet somewhere for this weekend? thanks guys!

 

[Fix_Until_Broke]

He's sitting in the lobby - go ask him

 

[BeetleGo]

Yeah! Go ask him!

 

[mrfrankmrfrank]

[mrfrankmrfrank]
