2 weeks until Springfest...Like I stated I wanna coordinate a meet & drive to the event. So lets get some ideas going on a good spot to congregate at. Any and all suggestions are welcome...

Do you all wanna do the beach?

Here are a couple of my ideas

Backside of Pembroke mall....large plenty of space, convenient

Lynhaven Mall or better yet topside of parking deck...nice spot for a photo shoot

Somewhere along the strip AKA Va beach oceanfront: just to show & be seen, some nice spots for photo but many tourist & cars around

Pungo, nice twisty roads to drive on and some great spots for photo shoot

^^^hah excuses, excuses nawh j/m I understand, although we do have some MD crews coming down.

Hey I'm leaning more towards Pembroke or Lynhaven, just out of convience for everyone, something located relatively central along I 264W. That way we can hit the highway straight harbor park. Any other suggestions on a spot along there?

Thus far the only people that have actually shown interest on meeting up and driving are Grifnasty & crazyT28076

If I lived in central or southern MD it would be different. But driving from Eastern Shore across the bay bridge to norfolk is way too long lol haha.

Hopefully you guys have another somewhere closer like richmond :0

10am Backside parking lot of Pembroke Mall sound good?

Let me at least get a response or interest before then, so I know I won't be wasting my time coming all the way up there and no one shows up haha

On a side note anybody by chance no any good engine detailers in the area?

Hah my bad 10am, I picked up my car yesterday and overall they did a pretty good job, umm just a few minor things and he told me to bring it in sometime during the week and he will take care of it for me. I'm going to have to check out those detailers you posted.

East Coast Customz has their own outside detailer as well bro. I'm going to ask Joe when I take my car back up their if they do engine detailing.

I was driving down military highway yesterday when all of a sudden my car

started smoking some kind of bad, I mean smoke was filling the cabin &

everything. I pull over in the mega furniture parking lot, pop the hood and see oil

everywhere, I mean everything was soaked. WTF!!! I look around and and I see

the culprit, my oil feed line came completely off... I had to clean her up the best I
could and (quick fixed) JB weld the feed line. So back in the shop she goes....
