scontivt Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Lovely drive from Burlington to Brattleboro this AM. Same could be said for the drive from Barre to Randolph... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfoyle Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Potential mini-meet shaping up THIS SUNDAY (2/22) in Brattleboro VT between ScoobyRuGT and myself... Thinking mid-afternoonish (exact time TBD). He wants to check out some of the mods I've done to my car as he's headed in a similar direction. If anyone else is in the area and wants to meet up for some car talk, maybe a quick drive on Rt9 over the mountain to Wilmington and back, perhaps grab a beer... speak up and let us know!

scontivt Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Would love to, but heating season and the new house is cutting into my fun money...lol Sounds like fun though. Plus it's been way to cold to wash my car and it's absolutely covered in salt and road brine because I drive 100% interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I washed mine the other day though, I'd rather have cold frozen water on my car than all the crap. For some reason my garage which isn't heated manages to stay above freezing and melted the ice anyway. There's already more stuff on it but at least you can tell it's a black car at the moment haha.

Unless it rains between now and then, I guarantee mine will be dirtier than yours! lol. Keeping a black car clean is an exercise in futility!

ripstik Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 be careful what you wish for pfoyle. Its supposed to be pretty warm and snowy on Sunday. Its likely that southern, VT will see some rain, of the freezing variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But luckily I'm skiing Saturday... however that could put a damper on a spirited drive over the mountain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 if you do it early in the day you'll be fine the freezing rain shouldn't be till afternoon. of course it is Vermont and saying what the weather will be 4 days in advance can be a bit tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyRuGT Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The weather men are pretty wrong most of the time anyway, hopefully it'll be a great day for some putting around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyRuGT Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Meet up with pfoyle was great. I really enjoyed driving his car but was a little cautious with the wet roads. I'm really looking forward to doing more work to my car and it was nice to compare our cars. His set up has me questioning if I should get rid of my lightweight flywheel, shifting in his car was so smooth. Much to learn and do with my car. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/jonathanwhelan/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-02-22%2016.13.36_zps8auhcswx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was kind of beat after 2 days of skiing, but hope you enjoyed the diner for dinner... how was it? Always glad to meet up with another 5th Gen owner. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. And I think I'll be back up in VT around the 21st/22nd of March, so can always meet up again if need be. Hope everything works out for you... I'm sure things will turn around for you soon! And free up some more $$ for the important things... like car mods! See you around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ended up not going to the diner, instead we went to Whetstone station restaurant and brewery which was pretty nice. They have their own "nano brewery" and from what I read they make new/different beers every 10 days. I had a sirloin and she had a burger, both were cooked as we asked and were great! Hopefully your ride home wasn't to bad, definitely look forward to meeting up again in the future and meeting other people in the area.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Well it got a snow wash on Saturday night! 8-10" of fresh powder covering most of the car, so it took some of the salt/dirt with it when I brushed it off Sunday morning! I promise it was dirtier than that before the snowstorm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
