My wife and I are heading up Friday morning as well. We're in Lilburn.

Very nice wheels, Mark!

Lilburn? Hell, we're practically neighbors. I think I've seen your car in the area. We're kind of in between Singleton and Rockbridge.
So where and when do we want to meet Friday morning?

We really are pretty close. I live off of Lake Lucerne, and I work in Norcross. How about the Starbucks on Indian Trail and Oakbrook Parkway for meeting spot? I'm open on the time.

So if you guys are going up 85, are you thinking Greenville/Asheville?

This is what Mapquest shows. Looks good to me.
What time did you have in mind? I'm thinking late morning so we miss the morning rush.

If you guys have time, cut north at Greenville to Asheville and then take some
twisties to BE if you feel like it.
Not sure if time is your constraint.

Incorporating some twisties is a great idea, works for me. Mid-morning on Friday is good too and Starbucks is always a winner. Any other Atlanta folks coming?

Not sure of the offsets. Sterling said the rear backspace is 7 5/8. Given the fronts are 9" wide with 255/40 tires and are right out at the edge I'll bet they are 60+. I believe they were originally spec'd by Dave Roberts so he might know the exact numbers. In any case they are a tight fit on both ends and with the lowered suspension, give it just the right stance. I have to look at the pics right now because it's at the shop, supposed to get it back tomorrow afternoon.

Sounds good to me. I sent you a PM but I'm not sure if you get PMs if you're not a member. Do you get PMs? Sorry, must be the tequila.

10:00 work for you, Mark?
