On behalf of the TT-East 2002 organizing committee (and no, I will not reveal their names/identities at this time) and the fine work that they have done to help make this event a reality, I am proud to present...

<b>"TT-East: Asheville 2002"</b>

Can I get a <b>"Hallelujah"</b> from the TT forum!? ...and again!? ...and again!?

Thank you!

OK, back on track... below is merely basic information concerning this event as all details have yet to worked out and defined. At this time I can say that this event <b>WILL HAPPEN</b> in Asheville, North Carolina from May 2-5, 2002 and it is expected to be quite a BLAST!

As I said, I am currently working out all the final details for the official event web site and I expect to have it fully functional, with online registration, within the coming weeks. So get those hotel rooms at the Sunspree Holiday Inn reserved ASAP and stay tuned to the official event web site (<a href="http://www.tt-east.com/">http://www.tt-east.com/</a>) folks, this is going to be the mother of all TT events... guaranteed!

See y'all in Asheville!

<b><u>Event Description</u></b>

Following on the heels of the highly successful <a href="http://www.tt-east.com/2001/">First Annual North American Audi TT Gathering</a> in April 2001 to tour Frank Lloyd Wright's <i>Fallingwater</i> and <i>Kentuck **** </i>houses near Somerset Pennsylvania, the <i>Audi TT Car Club America </i>is proud to present the second annual East Coast Audi TT owner's event taking place in and around beautiful Asheville, North Carolina May 2nd to 5th 2002. <i>TT-East: Asheville 2002 </i>will be a multi-day event to tour the exquisite European architecture inspired <a href="http://www.biltmore.com/">Biltmore Estate</a>, to drive the mind-boggling 318 turns in 11 miles of nearby <a href="http://www.dealsgap.com/">Deal's Gap</a>, and to share in the enthusiasm that the Audi TT inspires in us all. With picturesque scenery, inspiring drives, vendor exhibits &amp; tech sessions, and the camaraderie of fellow Audi TT enthusiasts, this year's event promises to be one of the largest and most exciting Audi TT gatherings to date!

<b><u>Event Details</u></b> <i>(subject to change)</i>

The <i>TT-East: Asheville 2002 </i>event opens on Thursday evening May 2nd in Asheville, North Carolina at the Sunspree Holiday Inn with an event pre-registration session followed by an opening reception party.
