If you don't make it to the GTG, have a safe trip home. If taking 95, stay close to the speed limit south of Richmond till you get to the border. If you're taking 81 from Virginia, watch out for the fog.

South of Richmond - really watch out. You can tell because the road splits (trees splitting both directions), and the last time I was on it it, was a very nice stretch of payment - road's just asking to go fast. After two tickets, 2 different times, I set my cruise at 4 over. At 2AM I must have counted 3 cars pulled over.
Also, radar detectors are illegal in VA. Prob is VA State Troopers have detector detectors and they use them down there. And regardless of what people claim, I think they work.

Looks like I might be able to swing it.
John, let me know if you want a map (or maps) to Starbucks and/or Tower Oaks Lodge. Might be a good idea to have something for the drive to Tower Oaks....for those who get separated & don't know where it is.
I can save in .pdf format and upload in a link on my site. Everyone who wants one can click and download. PDF should open for everybody.

Or you can go here.

I'll try to make it up there. I'd like to see some examples of fully assembled and mostly operational 928s. Maybe even go for a ride in one if someone is feeling generous.

I think we're good to go - snow stopped. Don't let the cold stop you. See you guys later.
Hope you do. Starbucks is very close to Clyde's. No prob taking you for a ride and then returning to your car. Take your pick - but preferably a P-car rather than a BMW.

Sorry I couldn't make it today but I blew a radiator hose drifting my vette and my wife didn't want me to go out to play since I spent the week working in FL.
Any pics? Also, was any "spirited" driving possible?
