I'll be driving from Detroit to Cincinnati, OH on 9/10 anyone on the way up for Lunch

[Hugh R]

Taking the I-75 S from Detroit to Cincinnati on Friday, September 10 in a rental car. Going from one of my shows (Detroit 1-8-7, new this Fall) to visit one of my two triplet sisters. Anyone on the way want to grab lunch, or a non-alcoholic beverage (company business, you know). I don't have a hard schedule, but thinking about leaving Detroit at such time that I get into Cincinnati around 5PM, so I'm real flexible. Looks to be a 4-5 hour drive. How are the speed traps on that route?

The speed traps are there! It will be about a 4.5-5 hour drive. Im on the north side of Dayton. Shoot me an email!

I work in Toledo (about 1 hour south of Detroit on I-75) and could probably do lunch. Not 100% sure of my work schedule this far out. Dayton is somewhere in the 3hr range from Toledo. Ohio state troopers are a bit more aggressive than Michigan's. I typically do not drive more than 5-10 mph over the limit on I-75 unless I am following other speeders.

a bit?

Tab Tanner's shop (Autobahn Garage) in is Findlay, OH, which is on I-75, about 75 miles south of Detroit. It would be well worth your time to meet him and see his shop. He's a great guy and you guys could have lunch and talk Porsches!

I can believe leaving Detroit, but going to Cincinatti?????????

+1 on the cops

I travel that route a lot. There is a neat car museum just off I 75 in Bowling Green.

There is also a good BBQ place in Tipp City (my home town, about 20 miles north of Dayton)

Hickory River Smokehouse :: Real Texas BBQ

Also check out "Cincinnati" style chili at Skyline or Goldstar chili.

Let me know, I'll do lunch

I travelled from Detroit, MI to Cincinnati, OH down I-75 to visit my sister and stopped on the way in Toledo, Findlay, and Daytom areas to meet with a couple of Pelicans on the way. Here are a few pics. I had a great time and met a couple of (as usual) really nice guys.

Thanks guys, it made the 265 mile road trip more bearable stopping along the way.

[Tim Hancock]

It was nice meeting you too Hugh. Did Tab have any neat cars in the shop while you were there? He typically has something exotic in there.

[azasadny]

Hugh,
I'm glad you were able to meet Tim and Tab! I haven't been able to meet Tim yet, but Tab is the guy who is responsible for my car being on the road! Without Tab's help, I wouldn't have been able to get Helga running and I would have sold her. Needless to say, Tab is one of my favorite people and Beth and I try to see Tab, Karyn and Griffin whenever we can.

Tim

thanks again for taking the time to see me. Nah, Tab didn't have much their that day, a few Audis and VWs.
