when am i going to finish the work on the cgt so i can drive it? when it stops snowing it's suppossed to be in the single digits highs and below zero lows. i just need a couple nice days to finish it off, is that asking for too much?

i guess i need to get the insulated coveralls on. then again, it'll be warm in about 6 months right?

 

where do you live? heaven?

 

lol

 

but i did take the kids for a cruise in the suburban. 4wd+big tires+modified v8 power=a helk of a good time!

 

I'm in Minneapolis; I was just in Fargo 2 weeks ago - it was real nice then. If you get to Minneapolis, let me know - by my email - and I'll likely see you at the event in Brainerd this summer?

 

in rochester (i have some heart problems, among other things). we usually spend some time in the cities when we go. i say you guys got the tail end of a good sized storm. they are talking another 2-3 tommorrow night. oh well, we live where we live right?

what brainerd event are you refering to? i'd like to get to some events this year. of course that depends on what state my car is in. i hope to do the body and paint come spring/summer. are you a member of mn audi club? i've got to renew my membership. i've been so in jeep mode for the last several years i'm kind of out of the loop on audi stuff. that's now changeing.

 

aw come on.. a suburban? get a quat and have some REAL fun ;-)

 

better than anything else. i can take 5-6 guys hunting with our gear and the dogs comfortably. besides it pulls the trailer when i need to pick up a vehicle elsewhere. and you can't beat the weight and size when pulling people out of the ditch.

then there's the jeep, even more fun! can't wait until i finish it. playing in the snow with no top is fun. then i need to start building vehicles for my wife and kids too. after all that, than i want a quat and modify the helk out of it.

 

Yes I'm in the MN Audi Club as well as Audi Club of North America (ACNA), Glacier Lakes Chapter - click on

ACNA sponsors a driving event at the BIR track every summer, usually in July. I really, really recommend attending the event. It is made up of a half day of driving exercises or "lessons" on car control: braking, slalom, skid pad and lane change. They are all a lot of fun and you really get to feel how your car performs in a variety of extreme conditions. That is followed by a day and a half of track time - with an instructor in the car with you - generally about 30 minutes on-track, 90 minutes to cool down and attend classrooms about car control and handling. I have attended every year as a student since 99 or 2000 and the past few years as an instructor. There are similar events at many tracks around the country including some of the old legendary ones like Watkins Glen and Daytona - I usually attend 2 or 3 of these plus BIR every year. It would be great to have another Coupe GT at the track. At the Audi Club Nationals a few years ago, there was another member of this group there - from Connecticut. Click on my "posted by" link at the top of this reply to email me to let me know when you might be around - we can trade car stories; and if you time it right, there are a number of us Audi Club people that meet for lunch in St. Paul about every couple of weeks - you could meet them too.
