I was talking to Brian (oif2xvet) earlier today, and he is having Corvette Camaraderie withdraws. He is coming down this Saturday (2/27) from Hopewell to get together for some lunch and who knows what other trouble we can get into.

We were talking about Quaker Steak & Lube on the Peninsula since it is kinda centrally located for people wanting to come in from Richmond, Williamsburg, Oceanfront, and anywhere else.

Trying to gauge to see who is interested, and if anyone has any suggestions for anything before and/or after lunch, and what time frame is good for people.

We also have a thread over at CF so after we get some replies and talk it over we will post up more definite details...hopefully by early evening tomorrow.

Va Beach people... want to meet at the Best Buy off of Independence right off of 264? @ 12:30? Or we could do the Target off of First Colonial/Oceana at the same time.

PMed the Corvette guys who post on VaDriven and posted a thread on tidewaterracing.com and the Eastern section of LS1Tech.

Brian...another good meeting spot is the motel at Lake Wright on Northampton Blvd (in front of the golf course). You come out of the parking lot and your jump right on 64. :yesnod:

Although the Best Buy at Independence is doable for me.

That motel works too... I was more looking for ZZ4vetteguy to pick as he's started all of this, but we should just pick a spot and a time and go with it.

Unless anyone suggests different the lake wright motel @ 12:30-12:45 works for me... from there to Jefferson is a quick blast up 64.

:willy::willy::willy: I know right, what a lazy azz he is, I bet he will try to use some excuse like work got in the way and has not been online all day or something lame like that. :D:leaving:

I was all up for Best Buy, but the motel works for me too...would not be the first time I have been caught coming out of a motel....LOL j/k

I just need to know one thing....WHERE is the motel, or at least what is it called.

Cobra4B
02-26-2010, 6:17pm

Brian is right Joe....it's at Lake Wright...and it's a motel (or hotel). :lolsmile:

I might be out, my power steering has been leaking and I could smell the belt slipping today. I have the parts I need but I don't know if I will be able to get it back on the road in time tomorrow. Change me to maybe.

Jeff, even if you can't bring the Vette, you can come out to play. :cheers:

SO who else is up to get together?.

I think Bri already called ahead and got us into the Corvette room...hopefully the Ratpack Sticker that "appeared" there last time will still be there. :leaving:


Edit: If not, I may have an extra one in my glove box.

I will be there at 12:45-1sh to get the room etc. if you wanna meet me then. oh and I picked up my new parts yesterday and will throw them on this morning so the PACE CAR will be with me.

02-27-2010, 8:57am
We got people meeting on this side of the water about 12:30, so I am going to run up with them. Or at the very least meet up with them and head off and head off.

Can't wait to see the new car.

While cruises I like to keep as Vette as possible, something like this, we all know it is still cold and icky out and a lot of people still have their Vettes put up for the winter. This is mostly about Corvette peeps getting together, showing off some of the cars that are not sleeping, and tell "fish tales and war stories"

Sorry, I am back out again, one of the guys at work is sick and I have to cover his 12 hour shift in a few hours.

Have fun.

It was great to see old friends and meet some new ones today. It was a great turn out for a spur of the moment thing. I think there were 14 cars at the restaurant and 9 on the mini cruise.

BTW, ironically, on the way home, I met Jimmy at the tunnel and ran with him on the way (partially) back

Vet4jdc
02-27-2010, 8:57pm
Good time today guys. Nice to meet some of you that I haven't met before.

I passed on the cruise and went to hang with YorkL8Apex for a while.

As Joe said, we ended up going through the HRBT together and ran back to Va Beach.

:cheers:

I ended up shoveling manure. I'd have preferred hanging with ya'll but the farm work had to get done...

Ok, so be honest, how many of you got suckered by the girl scouts selling cookies? I resisted the temptation, but I know I saw a few of you with boxes. :yesnod:
