Calling all NC/SC 924/944/968s

I recently moved to Charlotte from Athens, GA. I always had a great time at all of the meets Elliott (drift a 944) has had around Atlanta so I would like to get something similar (albeit smaller) started up here.

I've created a facebook group. Tell your friends! As it grows it'll be a great place to post pictures/updates on your car as well as buy and sell parts locally.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1284970838308192/1285168398288436/?notif_t=group_activity

I'm looking to set up a meet around Charlotte sometime in the next few months before it gets too cold. Once I get a date and location set I'll let everyone know.

Lastly, I'd like to create an email list of 924/944/968 owners in NC and SC so I can contact everyone directly about upcoming meets and events. If you would like to be added to the list, either post here or PM me with your Name, Email, Car, and Location. I'll contact everyone as soon as I iron out the details.

Thanks
-Reid

Hey Reid, shoot me a pm and I will give you my e mail. Where in Charlotte did you end up?

Look forward to seeing you again and hopefully getting some of the old timers back out.

I'm putting together a Parkway cruise for October 19th. Everyone is welcome to join, so it doesn't matter if you have a 944 or not. We will meet up in Asheville around noon and head south on the parkway until we end up in Waynesville. This is roughly a 50 mile trip. We will be stopping along the way to have lunch and take pictures.

I hope to see you there!

Yes, there is also a 944 owner in Kings Mountain that will be joining us. Maybe we can all meet up around Shelby and ride up together?

Here is a small update:



We will be meeting up beside the Belk at Biltmore Square Mall in Asheville October 19th at noon. We will be taking the Blue Ridge Parkway South for 50 miles, stopping to take pictures and to chat along the way. Also, we will be stopping for a picnic lunch, so bring a cooler packed with your favorite snacks. Be sure to bring a jacket or dress for cold weather; as we will be reaching elevations of 6000ft.

Once in Waynesville, Interstate 40 is easily accessed for your return home.




For those of you driving in from the east, some of us will be meeting up across from the Denny's at Cleveland Mall in Shelby, NC around 10AM.

From there, we will be traveling up the scenic route. This will take us up hwy 64 through Lake Lure for a quick Mountain run before the event. If you have never been through here before, you are in for a real treat.

Just let us know if you plan on joining us!

Thanks!

As before I will try tone there. I may try to bring a friend who has a 951 but in inop condition and a buddy with a twin turbo z.

Wow, I have no idea what I was typing.

I was trying to say that I may bring a friend that has a 951 that is not road worthy yet. He may end up driving his miata and I have another friend that may want to come with a highly modified TT 300 ZX.

Look forward to seeing you guys soon.

I may try to make it as well

Not a frequent poster here, but interested in getting to know others in the area. I adopted an '88 924S (inop) about a year ago. Have it running and am enjoying driving it. I'm up in Mooresville, so not far from Charlotte.

I'll check out my schedule and see if I can join in. Will let you know.

cschmidt, it would be great to see another 924S, so I hope you can make it out!

Also, if anyone wants a hand with anything; whether it's belts or just a good wax, just let me know. I'm always looking to help and can do it very reasonably.

the 19th is good for now

I'll try to meet the Shelby crowd at 10. Is that leaving at 10 or breakfast at 10?

Breakfast is at nine and we are leaving at ten. So far, there has been only one person that was interested in meeting for breakfast and his car is now sitting at my shop with a blown trans, so I will probably just be there at ten as well.

Can't wait to see you there!

Everything is in order on my car. Since the weather was great today, I went on a 250 mile drive. So far the weather is looking good for next weekend. I can't wait!
