Am starting a new thread for a GTG, Tampa, central/southern FLA just in case the last thread doesn't get looked at by anyone!

Batman, I think we mentioned having another one in about a month, though nothing was finalized. And Ft. DeSoto seems to be pretty well centralized for us, and TDI and TDI-family friendly. Well, except for the local authorities, who didn't seem to appreciate how effective we were at keeping the mosquito population down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Newbie here, wanted to get a new date <font color="red"> started/talked </font> about. Would like to attend. Still beautiful weather for an outside GTG.

On another note, I got blown away driving westbound on S.R. 54 (Pasco County) a few weeks ago by a female driving a chipped TDI Beetle, reflex silver. Had Pasco County Fl. tags. Ummm, first 'race' in this car, first time getting beat that baaaad. Anyone know this person by chance? I know it was chipped, because she rubbed it in to me at the next light. Asked me if I was "Upped", hadn't a clue what she was talking about. Then I asked her what that was, she said a 'computer chip', so, I asked 'What does it do for you?' She looked up at the redlight, and said, 'Just watch', or 'Let's go', something like that. Well, she shifted through her gears and left me sitting there. Was fun


Didn't know half of what I know now (which is next to nothing) since coming to <font color="blue"> TDIclub.com</font>

Any of you locals know of a good shop to get dyno'ed at? Would like to start a baseline for future upgrades. I don't have a clue as to where to start looking. I guess some perfomance shops in my area.

thx!

That reminds me of last week when I was in Lake County and was at a stop light next to a new 4X4 Ford F250 Powerstroke with the driver smiling at me and reving his soot maker several times with a quick nod, just before the light turned green. I grinned, floored it, and blew him away. There was indeed 2 large trails of soot behind us. At the next light he smiled with a thumbs up and I turned right. That made my day, only because I new that WolfTDI has been blown away by one of those 2 story 4x4 pickups at the track.

Sweet! I have a friend with a 2-story that runs in the 13's on 38" swampers. I'll never beat him at the strip, but give me a twisty road and it's all over.
I am in for another GTG as I couldn't make the last one. I do need a couple of weeks, though, as I have new goodies to install

Don't think anyone has taken the bull by the horns on this one....

May 29....anyone got plans for May 29? Ft. DeSoto sounds like a good location.

Soooooo, unless there are conflicts or better dates, pencil that in!!!

Well, may or may not be a bad time, then. Are there many going out of town for the long weekend? (I gotta get a caladar that shows me holidays.....)

Anyone else rather have it on Saturday instead of Sunday? It makes no difference to me. I'm all for whatever gets the bigggest turnout.

Last time we changed from Saturday to Sunday, so it's only fair to change from Sunday to Saturday to make it even.

That would probably be a great weekend for most. I am afraid that it doesn't work for me as I will be out of town from 28 May through 4 June. I hate to miss it. I enjoy and appreciate learning things from you folks.
