I went for a drive on the parkway today for lunch.( I work in Asheville) I went all the way to Mt. Pisgah. I saw the turn for 151 and looked down the road a bit. It looked like it would be a nice road. Kinda narrow but fun nonetheless.

We should get a parkway cruise together and take 151 as well. I will maybe go back to it tomorrow if it's nice out.

the 21st of may (sunday) a bunch of people are getting together from ncdrifters.com to go cruise all the good roads. no drifting of course or racing, just to get together and meet and socialize as well as drive touge. it should be fun. lots of cars like 240's 86's and subaru's. itd be neat to get some people from here to go.

I'm down for a cruise then. Sunday works out well as that is my only weekend day offWhere is the meet up point and times? Or are there no concrete plans yet. That is next weekend i believe yes.

Definetly want to get a group of 7's together for that. I'll try to remember to schedule that in.

touge - its japanese for windy mountain pass or road. its been adopted i think b/c its better than saying. "hey are you going driving in the mountain roads this weekend?" or "are you driving touge?" i found its just easier to say that than other phrases. i onno i never really thought about it until you said something. lol.

Yeah,.. wouldn't want those big fat sportbikes hogging up the road..



. i dont know b/c a car forum was talking about cars going up.


I thought i saw in the link that drifterS(?) said anyone/thing was welcome. I just glanced thru it. thought you may have known more since you are a member

Guess not..I'll ask him

I was just being a smartass.. I sensed sarcasm in your post so i played along. I'll see if they want to go but that they will HAVE to behave in a orderly fashion. Some of them have trouble with that sometimes.

Hopefully I'll see ya there. I'll be in my titaniumish FD either with my gf in the car or with her in here FC Viper Yellow.

later
