VA NOVA Local Meet

Summer 09 we had a pretty good crowd going for some local meets and car shows. Sadly the person who organized the meets moved. Now we're one shy and it's again getting nice outside we're looking to have some kind of meet in the northern virginia, DC, and Fredericksburg area. Any 8 is welcome of course. I'm thinkin start this year off with a drive either on skyline Dr or another windy road with the windows down music blasin just havin a good time and maybe stop to eat somewhere local there. Nova for some reason hasn't had any really big 8 meets. I think the most we had was 8 or 9 at the car show at the Dick's parking lot car show. If you can come out that would be awesome. The more people the better! Fridays and Sunday's seemed to work before so maybe we can shoot for a sunday maybe mid-April? My number is 540-903-2323 you can text me if youre interested. If you know any 8's in the area please invite them and join us for the 1st meet of 2010!

any work day would be really bad, I really try to stay as far away from anything south of 66, traffic is just the suck even after 7pm, specially now that its spring/summer and nice out.

im very anti woodbridge area after living there for 2 years and commuting up 95 to work, getting stuck not being able to get anywhere in the summer because route 1 is deadlocked as is 95. we literally couldn't even go to the store, which was across the street more or less because it took 30 minutes to get there.


errr, so sat/sun would be best. sorry about my rant, that area really made me hate it.

robert whats your new number? Roe said she tried to call you but your number was changed. I'm free on thursdays fridays and sundays. Thursdays we can meet in woodbridge like before but i've been really wanting to drive on skyline drive for a while now. If we can at least do it once it would be awesome.

Bacon, we've been meeting in fredericksburg for most of our meets but a couple have been in woodbridge. Also our meets are usually sundays where we all hang out and drive a little bit but on thursdays theres a big car show in the dicks parking lot in woodbridge with all imports. mostly honda guys but there's usually a few nice cars there. We put on a big show when probably 9 rx8's rolled in at the same time and parked together. It's alot of fun to be in a huge group and steal the show. There were probably more 8's than civics!

I'm down for anything i've just been wantin to meet up since the weather is getting sooo nice. i'm pretty sure we're all open for suggestions.

Anyone heard from mike?

i like the dicks parking lot idea, but no way on thursday, specially if it's starting at 8 or 9. I'd never get up in morning for work (i'm usually in bed by 10)

I think we should do a sunday meet. I got ahold of mike. He moved to Richmond he said he may try to come up for a meet. I'm not sure of the address for Dicks robert may know he's the one who got us going to dicks. Our biggest meet at dicks i think was 9 people? It would be nice to get that goin again. Sunday we may be able to do a skyline Dr or 218. Anyone know what the weather's gonna be like?

yea i'm down for friday night. If we do a dicks meet we can't meet at bestbuy if we wanna roll in together cause the light cuts our group in half haha. we need to meet up the road. Friday what time? Anyone in the Fredericksburg/Stafford area wanna roll up there together?

As far as paintball great idea but i'm kinda broke especially this month. For sure something i would wanna do.

NOVA for some reason really doesn't have 8 meets I know there are people out there but nobody ever posts. Usually when i see 8's is old grandmas driving the sports car they've always wanted kind of a waste....

jmac you're in roanoke? thats pretty far. You wanna meet in NOVA? If you do sweet the more the better.

I always forget to check this post so it's better to text or call 540-903-2323 if anyone can think of ideas or times to meet up.

This friday meet at Dicks to start a group at least would be good. Roe you down?
