TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 From what I saw last night it looks like it's just going to be partial rain, not a big ugly wet day. So I'm hoping it will all be fine. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Kokopellie Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 From what I saw last night it looks like it's just going to be partial rain, not a big ugly wet day. So I'm hoping it will all be fine. Rain or no rain I am excited! :motor: I need to borrow a radio to stay informed. I'm not sure what kind to get, so I want to get informed first. See all of you rain or shine! :itsme: http://www.flickr.com/photos/myipictures/ "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!"
Edge Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) That's right, the Spring Fling is on - rain or shine! We've never let any rain stop us before! "April showers bring May flowers" Here I present the route sheets and waiver for tomorrow. No need to print it out, I will be bringing plenty for everyone - but if you are driving and you are not a current (paid) DCMM member (bring your badge!), we will be asking you to sign the waiver before we depart. If you fall into this category, you may choose to print the waiver yourself and bring it with you, to save time. If not, use one of the ones we're bringing. See you all tomorrow morning! :motor: Waiver - Spring Fling 2011.doc Waiver - Spring Fling 2011.doc Edited December 9, 2011 by Edge Route sheet removed for relocation to repository "Mr. OEM" - 05 JCW (TK, GPIC, SS, GPTA, R56 RSB, StBr, R56 BBK, GPWhls, SV, RS, R56 GSI, IES, StrWhl, GK, HG, LBIT) MCS, HB/HB, Packs: 1, 2, 3 & 4.

silvrcelt Posted April 9, 2011 Report Posted April 9, 2011 I'll have an extra walkie talkie for anyone who needs it. Excited -- yes! I can't believe you ran into some slow-moving priuses, aka prii (the official plural form according to the Toyota USA website) on the dry run. All the prii I've encountered, particularly on the beltway and the toll road, are mercilessly trashing their 1.8 liter 98hp engines in the HOV lanes at 70 mph plus. It is not enough to have "Clean Special Fuel" on their tags, but they are all in such a huge hurry they put Passat drivers and Mustang drivers to shame.

cmcveay Posted April 10, 2011 Report Posted April 10, 2011 A quick video clip from my iPhone as I didn't have a GoPro running yesterday.
