Dick Dastardly Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Having driven that road 1000s of times since the late 80s I will say going up is actually more fun than down.. I'm faster on those 3.4 miles heading up for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I definitely like going uphill more on those types of roads, but going downhill is great too because it tests your wheel skills more in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 I shit my pants a few times on those roads, for serious. I've never driven anything like that before. And yes, I was full on chub driving behind Hussein on the way up haha it smelled and sounded amaaaaaazinggggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVolvo75 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Dude! What a meet! As an organizer, one of my main goals is, duh, get lots of cars there. We were between 90-100, with all the ones that came and went in the last 1.5 hours, I wouldn't even doubt over 100. Put it this way, there were zero Porsche, Jag, or Merc's registered. Funny, we didn't see one Saab. Another thing- I am getting more help next year so I can actually get out, see the cars and talk with everyone. But, it was awesome, hands down. TIMBO- can you email your pics to me? same user name, AT hotmail. You can watermark them or whatever, I won't steal credit. So, what did you guys think of my 240? The 940T swap with the Mustang tranny? Like I say, I didn't really get out and mix around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Yes sir! I need to sit down tomorrow and process them but will get them over to you as soon as I do. The 240 is awesome man! I've never felt a car shift like that, so smooth and strong. I can't imagine how it drives. And the T5m is obviously a thing of beauty as well! Awesome meet man, can't wait for next year!

Your 245 was very sweet indeed! Next year, get a better cage for the raffle tickets - maybe one of the those hamster cage type things - it was nuts that there were so many repeat winners/ close numbers picked!

burnout8488 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Ended up researching last-gen A8Ls last night for two hours... seeing that thing whip around the corners was mystifying. Can't wait for the video and pictures to be posted up, hope there's a few of my car! I had to park with the C30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the video and pictures to be posted up, hope there's a few of my car! I had to park with the C30s I wish I had it in sport for the ride up R327. It handles and drives really different in that setting, It's pretty effortless in corners either way My pictures were pretty Ad hoc but we got a drive by of all the cars. Should have it up by tomorrow I would think. Rip out that A8's trunk motor & install it on your wagon... because as we both discussed it's completely necessary ha! not. a. bad. idea! I'm sure Bob G. wouldn't mind if I mangled his trunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't express how disappointed I was when I looked at that photo. I didn't notice at the time that you blocked him, I was too focused on getting the window sticker right lol.
