    Charlotte area enthusiasts get-together

    Happy New Year folks!

    Monthly get together for January 2017:

    Saturday, January 14th @ 08:30
    Acropolis Café & Grille
    20659 Catawba Ave, Cornelius NC 28031

    (I-77 Exit 28)

    Forecast looks a little iffy overnight Friday, but hopefully everything will be cleared out by our monthly breakfast time Saturday morning.

    RK Motors is also hosting an open house / show at their facility in Charlotte this Saturday. I stopped by today to scout out things… they invited us to come in the back way to avoid their parking lot speed bumps & to park together better. They’ve got some very impressive inventory right now, including a dedicated pit of cobras, and one very awesome Daytona Coupe I’m tempted to negotiate my left kidney for. Show info:
    http://www.rkmotorscharlotte.com/company/show

    Hope to see you for breakfast & then we’ll drive to RK together after!

    Forecast looks good for Saturday. For those of you not heading to the Auto Fair early, come join us:

    Saturday, April 8th at 8:30am
    Mooresville Cracker Barrel

    And for anyone who wants to drive out to John’s shop for his open house afterward (see attached), we’ll just head out Hwy 150 for the short drive to Denver:

    Mass Acceleration Motorsports
    3428 Denver Drive
    Denver, NC 28037

    Hope to see you Saturday!

    This Saturday’s forecast is looking picture perfect, so I hope you’re ready to pull that car out & come help fill the parking lot again with a sea of serpentine bliss. I think our record was 19 cars a few years ago... it’d be great to get a photo shot of that many again or more if you’re available.

    Saturday, June 10th at 8:30am
    Mooresville Cracker Barrel

    Anyone up for a drive after, I’m good with touring some roads around locally, or maybe even a quick run up the Diamondback or Devil’s Whip depending on interest.

    Hope to see you there!

    Hey Brian. I'm in Gastonia a lot. Wish I could be helpful with wiring, but I'd mainly just be a good moron... er, moral... support. Either way, hope to catch you soon.

    Are there still Charlotte Area enthusiasts out there? Haven’t seen any recent posts. I just acquired a FFR Mark II and joined the forum, and am interested in learning about the group and any activities. Also - while I can do some limited maintenance I’m looking for a trustworthy shop that can do some of the major work if needed. Any suggestions? I’m in SE Charlotte. Thanks!

    Hey shelbysam. I send all the Charlotte-area-enthusiast updates out by an email distribution list. When I can, I try to update the different forums and FB page with some of these events too, but as you can see, it's easy for me to get behind on that. I'll try to get back into posting on the forums again too, and send you a PM about the email list.

    Subscribed to this thread, and joined the FB group. Moved to NC a few months ago and am getting closer to starting my project. It would be great to see some roadster examples in person. Thanks!

    Streetside Classics in Concord is hosting a cruise-in this Saturday, July 28 from 9am-noon.

    I’ll be picking up a nephew in Gastonia, so if anyone from down & around that area wants to drive in together (or anyone wants to meet anywhere along the way), just let me know and we’ll get it planned.

    I am purchasing a Mk4 roadster, #9058, and will be bringing her to the CLT area in the next couple of weeks. Could you please add me to the distribution list as well? Email is [email protected].

    Please add me to the list. Life got in the way, but this weekend's trip to the London Ohio Cobra gathering has re-inspired me to get it finished and drive it to next years show.
