    I should be there. Hoping to get a new clutch in by then. The old one didn't like the Schrick cams and new UM tune... I went to all but one last year...

    Yeah we def need to get a meet going on before then. No SoWo for me. I was just down in that area for WITW last month and can't take too much more time off from work.

    I'm surprised Nick hasn't replied to this thread? He used to promote the P.I.E a few years ago. He drives a mk5 rabbit with air ride.

    At this time I am trying to make another similar event, but since I am coming from Cleveland, I'd like to get some help from the Erie guys. I'd like to see if people are available the first or second Sunday in June for a GTG at the Presque Isle park again like 7-years ago. Same thing, start off at Sara's and then roll into the park to hang out and just BS, take photos, etc.

    I've got a new ride these days (LINK), and want to take a surfboard I have laying around with the car and get some "beach" shots with a friend who has some nice camera equipment. Trying to find the same spot, basically, as either my photo or the same spot the blue R32 is above.

    My wife/kid/I plan to maybe swing out this coming Saturday to the beach to scout out some good areas there.... if anyone from the area has any help/suggestions that'd be great. If we could mobilize the Erie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Cleveland folks -- the more the merrier. I don't care how many cars show up, but if we get a dozen or more cars, that'd rock!! Who is in?!

    Oh yeah, I couldn't remember the name of their group/forums. Thanks! Once I scout the area this Saturday, I'll setup a date and official GTG thread ... then I'll x-post it there on their forums, too. Thx!

    I was with a mkv .:R and 2 mkv GTIs and we ran across a mkiii golf with a 12 valve swap and 2 mkiv TDI Jettas from Ontario in the hills of Virgina...needless to say we had some fun

    All in all, about an 11 hour ride home...not too bad, worked out to avg mph of 71/72 roughly

    SoWo was a freaking blast, best show I've ever been to. If you've never been, you really need to go, it's that awesome
