splinter, it's a bit of a hike from BC. like, 4000KM each way.

 

[[QUOTE=Buggy;10366831]As far as cost goes, figure on around $500 USD if you have a passenger to split on gas with. Always take some extra cash with you just in case. The trip can be done for less, but why not enjoy it rather than pinch pennies the entire trip. Buy some shirts and stuff, drink some beers.... this list goes on.


I need a passenger with $500 usd then.....

 

I fi get the time off work, I'll save $500usd.

 

I was more so hoping to find out how many km's i could look at putting on the car. The first day is my birthday, so I'm going to do everything to make this happen. I'm pretty sure I'm picking up the final parts for my reliability. Anyone down to go to Florida afterwards?

 

Again, I will try this year work schedule permitting. Hey, this reminds me...I paid for a T-shirt? or something, I paid for something last year but I didn't make it down. Were they suppose to send me the shirt?

 

Pretty sure you were actually registered last year and had a bag there and everything. I can't remember if we grabbed it or not for you. Just bug Phil if you go this time. I'm sure he would throw in an extra shirt for this year. Might even have some laying around from last year still.

As far as how many km's you can expect to put on, I'd say estimate in and around the 3000km mark for the trip. I think that is pretty close. I can't remember exactly from last year.

 

so i asked my boss if it would be ok for me to take the time off to go to deals gap and as soon as he heard that he said "ooo youve gota go to that!" lol, so that means im going for sure.

 

so lets get a list going. who's 100% in?

#1. Ian
#2. Terrh
#3. ???

#5.
#6.

Dying to go but to early to say for sure, car has a lot of work this winter but if everything goes well and can get the time off. I'm in tentatively, wanted to go last year with my 8 but a lot of **** came up.

 

yeah I am considering going this year, I am a bit nervous about taking the car that far not 100% confident about its relibility as yet.

jim........ u need a co-pilot?

hybrid

 

I'm kind of in the same boat as RXeckless, Rick. I just got back into school, so I need to find out how scheduling will work out, But I'm going to try very hard to come. The 28th is my birthday, so I've got the leverage on myself to say, I didn't go to Vegas last year, so this is a must do.

Thanks Bryon for the mileage, that'll help me out a bit. So that means about 4000km with dgrr and bcm for next year, that's half of what I did this year.

 

Im going to be down for this My 86 Runs like a Top! lmao Cant even tell when its idling

 

It would be nice to have someone to talk to and buy the beer, I'll know better in the new year if i can make the trip.

 

What's the deadline for booking the cabin? anyone know? So we can all set timelines and goals.

 

Apparently we can't start until January

 

As soon as registration opens I would advise booking the cabin. The sooner it is booked the better discount you get and you get the best selection of cabin. I vote for the cabin we had last year. I think it was #180....

 

Yea!, Found the cabin from last year.

It's 1300 Km to the tail of the dragon, so figure at least 3,000 Km round trip minimum.

This is a direct route I believe we start further north east.

 

3000kms means almost 4 gas tanks rite?

 

I'm going forsure. I'll be staying in Gatlingburg. I drive out there two times a year, I might as well go when everyone else is.
If anyone wants to stay at the treetops resort (bluegreen) let me know.

...and I'm gonna get some new shoes for this!

 

No, more like 6+ tanks. That doesn't include driving around while you're at the gap.....

 

Your FD gets 750/tank? I think It would be 5 in my Corolla, after cruising on the Interstate at 75mph all day long.

 

so how does this cabin thing work, how many people per cabin? are we all staying in the same one or are we geting a few, lol iv never been so i have no idea whats going on.

 

I'd hate to guess what my thing will get....
