PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE

Come and enjoy the Fall Colors (although the colors won't quite be in yet due to moving this GTG up in schedule now) in West Michigan, while socializing and light wrenching on TDI's w/ good TDI folk!

Saturday, October 1st, 2016 - (4th Annual)
9am to 7pm


General Housekeeping Note:

When you arrive, PLEASE make an attempt to park in my property first, and not out on the road, we will save parking along the road as a last resort, if the site fills up.
I have opened up the back yard (removed a fence), so we have a parking "annex" now too.
The South drive into my property will be the entrance, while the North drive will be designated as the exit.
Thank-you,
Kirk


New Addition to the Fall GTG -

An informal informational discussion session regarding DIESELGATE with Q&A led by "VeeDubTDI" (Lawson) planned for approx. 1:30pm, or after lunch.


11877 Ritchie Ave NE, Cedar Springs, MI 49319

We will have a good outdoor fire going all day long, some white bean chicken chili in the pot, and some other light fixin's.

Bring your own beverages, and if you'd like to bring a dish or snack to share, feel free.

I plan to attend *but* there's a chance I won't make it as I have a commitment in October in Tennessee (non-VW/TDI event) that the date has not yet been set for. I know the organizer so will try to get them to avoid the Oct. 15 weekend so I can do both.

Since this thread fell off the forum, I'll bump it back up.

I may be there in my new GTI if emissions-complying volatile-fueled cars are allowed.... ;)

I just made it a sticky. Sorry for not doing that before - I try to stick all active GTG threads in their respective forums. :eek:

Had a great time meeting everyone last year. Look forward to coming again this year. Ill probably have some parts for sale again if that is cool. Ill make a list of whats available and not bring everything I own this time. That was too much.

Two years ago, due to Kirk's harassment, I showed up. And stayed for about 10 minutes. :D Didn't really recognize many people from the Lew Pavlovich GTG days. Last year I was there for 5 minutes. I swear, as the almighty Kirk is my witness! ;)

This year I'll just be a blur, and it won't be just due to your drinkin'....goin' for a GTG record....

I may need a hand swapping in some pd150 injectors if jsrmonster can make it again, he seems to win the Mr. Popularity contest every year!
