Jersey newbie

i bought my 8 back in september & then never got around to coming on here & actually uploading anything. but it's a 2007, automatic, grand touring. it got traded in at my dealership, so i bought it off of them.
it had 46k miles on her when i bought it & it has 56k on it now. i put a Racing Beat Revi intake on it, with the ram air duct. & i lowered it on Eibach prokit springs. so far that's all, but i'm planning for tint within a week or so.

Haha thanks man. Yeah i think you have waved at me before. I think i've seen yours a few times. & there might be another blue one around too. I know there's two black ones around, a yellow one & a white one. But i don't know any of them -_- lol.

Yeah, that was me. I didnt get a chance to wave, so I beeped. You came up on me too fast! You should see my blue running lights when you approach & that would be me. Nice to finally make contact.

My son-in-law goes there with his VW occasionally. He said last week (or the week before?) was lame, which probably just meant no VWs. Try it & see what you think.

It wasn't bad, there was a decent turnout. I was sad to see my 8 being the only one there though. =/

One day, we're going to have to actually stop & talk instead of just passing each other!

I might be the yellow one, live in Mt. Royal. There's another LY in Deptford, I think the guy works at the T Mobile shop in the strip mall near the main mall (where the Sam's Club is). Mine has a rear spoiler, his does not.

There is also one other LY that I sometimes see on the Blue Route, but she sontinues on 322 after crossing the Commodore Barry, I assume she lives somewhere near Logan/Swedesboro area.

Congrats and welcome to the club.
