CHARGER69O1 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 2006 First Annual Volvo East Coast Oceanfront GTG Mark your calendars for April 29, 2006, an event you won’t want to miss! The first annual Volvo East Coast Oceanfront GTG will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the corner of Pacific Avenue and 18th street at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.FREE catered barbecue lunch buffet provided for all who come!There are lots of activities for those who choose to make a weekend out of it, and Virginia Beach is having a “Cruzin’ Beach USA” car show the same weekend, which will take place on the boardwalk.We have reserved a lot from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there is going to be an optional burnout competition in the same lot at 5 p.m. The burnout competition is open to anyone, not only Volvo enthusiasts, and is part of the “Cruzin’ beach USA” activities, but anyone can enter for a fee of $20 per vehicle. Bring yourself, your friends, and most importantly your Volvos. This is one event you don’t want to miss.For info on lodging, nightlife, and shopping check out www.vabeach.com or www.hamptonroads.com/travel/visitorsFor purposes of directions, the zip code is 23451. All roads lead to Virginia Beach. When approaching from the west, the easiest routes are Interstate 64, U.S. 460 or U.S. 58. From the north and south, convenient routes are Interstates 85 or 95, U.S. 17 and U.S. 13 (crossing the world-famous Chesapeake Bay-Bridge Tunnel, a 17-mile span connecting Virginia's Eastern Shore with Virginia Beach [this has a $12 toll]). These routes intersect with Interstate 64, which connects with the Virginia Beach-Norfolk Expressway, Interstate 264, and leads directly to the Virginia Beach oceanfront.If you need a car wash, one is located at the corner of 17th street and Baltic Ave. Coming down Pacific Avenue, pass the parking lot where the GTG will be held, and turn right on 17th street. About three and a half blocks up on the right is the car wash (at the corner of Baltic Ave.). It has four wash bays, and one drive through car wash, vacuums, etc. Sponsored by Shawn Roberts, Parts Manager at Phillips Volvo; Randall Bullock, of Alcon Automotive; Phillips Automotive; Phillips Volvo, Inc.; and various other Virginia Volvo enthusiasts.

CHARGER69O1 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I'll see what I can do Shawn. Definitely sounds like a great event!That is great. I hope for a good turn out, Phillips Volvo said that they will more then likely bring the new C70 to the GTG Connor and Randy will be coming, just in this local area there should be a good turn out, like 12 or 13 cars or so. Hope that you can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHARGER69O1 Posted March 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Ooooooh this is quite a possibility for me to make this. Little bit of a drive but I love VA beach so I might just make it down there. Props to getting this so formally organized!We tried to make an organized event and put it in a nice location so that there is plenty of other things to do after the GTG. I have seen that a lot of people wanted to do something, including myself, and I thought it would be nice if we could put something together that would appeal to younger people and older people. We want anyone and everyone that wants to come to come. I want to have a good turnout from all over, no matter what crew you’re from and we could continue to do it every year.
