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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. :cool:

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.

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

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.

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?

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!
