Meet and Greet in Georgia

Post by mjhaltom »

Would any of you GA/SC/AL/FL/TN or anywhere somewhat close guys like to do a meet and greet? I am jealous of some of the good times had by members in other parts of the country. My truck is driveable now and I would love to meet some more folks and network and talk about bumps. Athens GA has a great downtown scene and tons of places to stay overnight if anyone is interested, or maybe closer to Atlanta if that is better...ideas? PM me or post right on the board. I just want to gauge interest.

Actually been hoping to see one between here and the GA line (Cave Spring / Cedar Town / Rome are about as far as I'd be willing to drive Darlin with her appetite) That pretty much leaves Gadsden (docks would be cool), Fort Payne, or such in Bama and those above for GA. If someone sets something up a little further though, I might be willing to load her up on a trailer (just hate the idea of my Darlin on a trailer. lol) or the roll back.

Have been tempted several times to see if anyone was up for Noccalula, but I just haven't had the chance to try and put something together.

I would be up for it in the Atlanta or Athens area (probably, I travel at the drop of a hat.).

We could maybe all meet at Mustangs Unlimited (or Year One) on the North side of Atlanta... or Summit Racing on the south east side... I'm sure there would be enough stuff bought to keep them happy...

There is also a company in Peachtree City GA (Allspeed) that a lot of the VW guys have Dyno Days at. If enough people are interested I could find out what the deal on that is...

I think Noccalula Falls in Gadsden is a great idea. "Silver" as the grand kids have named him, would probably make the the trip! There are two big cars shows one in June and one in July that might could be linked too / to.
