Everyone,

The 'official' meet starts at 10am. I'd like to group up and roll in together, organized by model and car color if we can, so would like to gather at an easy-to-find place shortly beforehand.

A local grocery store has a 'second' parking lot up above their regular lot that would be a good point to meet up, plus if anyone wants to bring in some drinks, etc they could pick them up there.

The store I'm recommending is at most 1/2 mile from the place where the meet is, and is on the same road (Mallard Creek).

Let's plan to meet at the upper lot of the grocery store at 9:30, and we will promptly roll out of the store lot at 9:45 so we get good parking. If you don't show at the store, we'll simply meet up with you when you show at the meet (this means we will not wait for you if you're late, so come straight to the meet). Will try to reserve some spots for stragglers with the group, but can't promise anything.

The address of the pre-meet-up spot:

Harris Teeter Grocery Store
Mallard Creek
2201 WT Harris Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28269

It's right on the corner of WT Harris and Mallard Creek Rd. (not Mallard Creek Church Rd, that's a different road and different grocery store), across from the University YMCA.

Default Glad I saw this...

I'm in as well... I only check in occasionally, so I'm glad I caught this. Do you have the minimum for the dyno? I'm interested, but have never dyno'd a car.

06 430 Blue Onyx Pearl, Ash Leather/Black Maple, Moonroof, Var Wipers, Rear Sunshade & Spoiler

Looking for: Sirius Radio, DVD/BT Hack & some way to disable VDIM so I can track this damn car!

Looks like they're right at the minimum number with a couple of 'possibles'. Do you want me to sign you up or have you listed as a possible?


PS, here's how to disable VDIM

Several of the folks coming have spent quite a bit of time on the dyno and can help out should you decide to put your car on. Don't think I've seen any info for 3rd gen GS on the dyno yet

I won't be able to make the meet. I'm getting some body work done this week, and I'm waiting to get my suspension and engine work done before I take her on any more long-distance cruises. I hope everyone has fun!

THIS MEET WILL BE HELD RAIN OR SHINE. The forecast has been going back and forth each day, its beautiful Friday but Saturday is looking colder and drizzly (60%) in the AM. Let's hope Friday sticks around a bit longer.

I wanted to put together a quick and dirty map of the meet spot for those not familiar with the area.

Here's the pre-meetup spot (click on link for a closer up version if you need it)
Click for a slightly bigger version of the map below


and where the actual meet will be held in reference to the pre-meetup spot

Slightly bigger version

Unfortunately I will not be able to make it if the weather isn't going to clear up. I will continue to check the status but my car has spun out on a couple of occassions even with me being gentle on the gas. I just don't trust it enough to drive an hour and a half on the highway. I will keep you guys informed.
