Nope, car running better than ever (knock on wood). Going to be traveling every weekend in October for me.

Nah, mine is currently running, picked that weekend because my mother in law will be in town, thus allowing me to leave the wife with both babies (without feeling guilty about it )

Interested, but need to know where you all are starting from and which way on the parkway are you headed.

If we don't stop at the one you are at, I don't think you'll miss us driving by. Just hop in at the end of the line of 7s and stop at the next look out with us (we stop at a couple). The first one north of the 211 entrance is usually our first.

It's looking like the 2nd unless the forecast forces the 1st. Plan on the 2nd for now but check back the week before.

The only time it's too late to join is around 7pm that day. If you end up meeting is on the morning, remember to show up early. It would be a shame to miss the group by 5 minutes.

Very well. I'll probably be heading down that way about 730-800 am

November 2 is looking to be excellent weather. A little colder, but clear as can be.

As of right now: WE ARE ON!

That's no fun, any ideas what the issue is? I know it could be one of many with the twins

I'm thinking it's probably a solenoid. It's okay until the engine heats up then it just won't switch to the secondary at all. Turbos only have like 20k on em so I hope it's not that :P

There's been a slight change of plans for me, I have to be back home by 1pm I am still planning on meeting you guys at Ihop for breakfast, and cruise up to the entrance of Skyline Drive (assuming we leave Ihop at 10am or so, this plan should work out)

Rocky - At what time are we meeting at Ihop, and what time are we leaving Ihop?

Not to try and throw a wrench in the works at the last minute, but might I suggest we try out

Old Bust Head Brewery | Local Brewing Company in VA

at the end of the drive instead? It's a new brewery/taproom that just opened this summer in Gainesville, not far from I66. It's closer to where we'll be than Lost Rhino and probably a lot less crowded. I haven't been yet so I can't comment on the beer.

Sorry to hear you have to cut it short, I will probably shoot for 8-8:30am for my arrival at IHOP. They don't always have the quickest service and I like to be out in the parking lot well before departure time to look at cars and make sure everyone is ready. We will leave the parking lot at 10am.

Looks like a good plan to me. We'll poll everyone after lunch to see where they'd prefer.

I will not be making the cruise sadly. I will be out of town. If you see my black FD it will be my father driving it. There's a slight possibility he decides to take the car out for a spin.
I hope everyone stays safe and enjoys! Make sure to take plenty of pictures!

Looking forward to seeing you all there on the 2nd. Be nice to drive the car during the day, instead of at night when everyone else is in bed...

The FD is ready to go!! (After way too much money spent on fixing a few things.)

I like the idea of staying closer to 66 for Old Bust Head Brewery...but I also like the idea of background football at a sports bar. Does Old Bust Head have tv's in their tasting room? Be down for whatever democracy decides....looking forward to this.

Can anyone recommend a car wash that will accommodate a lowered car near where we're meeting? That's open on Sunday at 8 am? haha. Otherwise it's the touchless at the local gas station...which means it won't be pristine.
