I will be there but more than likely driving my turbo.

Well, we did the dry run for next weekend's Spring Fling this morning and I have to say that I love this drive.
There was a light fog as we crossed the bridge from New Hope into Lambertville and the river looked amazing.
The roads are in great shape and with the exception of one section of PA-32 all the roads are open. We'll need to make a slight alteration to our route to account for the section of rte. 32 that is closed, but otherwise we're in great shape.
Of all the drives that I've done this route has to be my favorite... a nice combination of fast and slow sections - some roller-coaster climbs and descents and most fun of all the slamming side to side curves.
Lake Nockamixon was quiet and ready for our invasion.
The trees are starting to bud and many have flowers on them - the timing for the drive this year is just perfect, as it's really pretty out there right now.

looks Like I will be there assuming it is still on.
My turbo has open exhaust a little loud but would still like to take it. It was supposed to have the silencer added tonight but now it won't get done until next week.
Do the local cops give you a hard time for a slightly loud car?

I have no clue. I know the Jersey cops are sticklers for speed, but otherwise I've not heard of any other problems.

No, nobody will bother you with that turbo in the way.... Especially when we cross the bridge back to PA....This should be fun. How many people do you expect?

I'm hoping to make this one. I should be under my daughter's car tomorrow morning getting it ready for the road, but I think I need to get out on the road instead. Looking forward to it.
Anthony, can I follow you if there aren't any other 928s out there? I need to be where the VOLUME is!

Having decision problems. Not sure if i should take the turbo or GTS. I guess I will toss a coin in the morning.
